Adoption Rules
1) A Story on a Page
There are tons of different free hosting places around
Geocities,
Netfirms are just two
of them. You don't need to have a fancy layout, I accept white sheets with
just a story as long as the story is good - as in it describes your aspirant
appropriately - and you will get a drak for that. It's the story and
character of your aspirant that matter on Icarus.
2) The Aspirant
Aka whomever you want to have mind pair a drak. This person can be from
any place and any time, but please explain how he/she got to Icarus. Also, I only
accept Aspirants from 14 years of age and older, or the equivalent of that
in whatever species you're using. Usually though, i'd prefer people who've
gone through puberty - they make for more stable knights... which means 16
years and up, but there'll always be exceptions.
3) Amount of Pets
I allow 4 small pets, one of which can be a baby on your page. Babies
generally take up a lot of time so that's just seems logical to me. This
rule won't be seriouslmy enforced, just don't go overboard.
4) General Warnings
Please don't be too offensive, graphic in your story without warning the
public. Sudden displays of carnage and or raging hormones don't have to be
kept in check since I don't mind, but a warning is always greatly
appreciated.
5) Gender Requests
Male and Female Draks can pair with either gender. The bond is relatively
weak, so they mostly know what the other is feeling, but no real thoughts.
Draks learn language very easily, so they'll speak to your aspirant. Some
Draks may pair off together, forming a drak-drak pair, but this doesn't happen frequent.
If you have any preference regarding the gender of your drak-to-be, please
let me know since it will be taken into account.
6) Mother Knows Best
How to name her children ^_^ The naming system on Icarus is quite complex
and thus it is usually the mother who names her kids. However, if you know
the naming system and have a name you absolutely want to have used you can
suggest it.
For more info, please visit Planet Icarus.
7) Update Notices
You will have to join either the
The Icarus Group
or the Lantessama Yahoo Group to get notifications about
hatchings and growths.
8) Images
Once you havepaired a drak you'll get an image of the drakling and later the
drak stage. Please have these images up within a month of receiving.
Occasionally I'll go through the records and send out slightly serious mails
- it is unusual for me to be serious, so be warned - asking you to put them
up.
You can alter these images by rotating, flipping and resizing them. No recolouring for obvious reasons. If you want to do anything
else with them, please mail me and I'll say if you can. And now to check if
you have read the rules....please comment about the new drak images - do you
like pointy hair as much as I do? - in the comments box.
Don't worry if you forget, it's likely I'll forget about it too. Just make sure
your page is ok.
9) For the Genealogy and Records
Please inform me if you move your draks and when your drak has found a life
mate. Also, it would be greatly appreciated to let me know about any
off-world flights you might be entering.
