Volx Lore wrote:In the not-too-distant future, humankind had reached a significant milestone - venturing beyond the boundaries of their home planet Earth into the vast expanse of space. With advanced warp propulsion systems and revolutionary exploration vessels, they journeyed deeper into the cosmos than ever before. What they never anticipated, however, was what awaited them amidst the stars. Their journey led them to the far reaches of the cosmos, where they discovered a breathtaking celestial body known as Elysia.

Elysia, a planet shimmering with cosmic luminescence, radiated an otherworldly beauty that transcended anything humanity had ever witnessed. As the starship gracefully descended through the atmosphere, the crew's awe swelled as they beheld a mesmerizing sight: fox-like beings, their ethereal presence emphasized by jewel-like orbs nestled within tufted ears, and a captivating cluster of glass orbs adorning their tails. Intrigued by this spectacular phenomenon, the astronauts cautiously approached the foxes, ensuring not to disturb the harmony of the unknown ecosystem. To their surprise, the foxes responded with a gentle curiosity, studying the human visitors with their vibrant eyes reflecting the wonders they had witnessed.

As days turned into weeks, a strong bond formed between the explorers and the alien foxes. The foxes demonstrated their incredible hunting instincts, gracefully pouncing on evasive prey. They showcased an unparalleled exploratory nature, leading the astronauts to hidden caverns and ancient ruins filled with enigmatic artifacts.

With each interaction, the astronauts unraveled the secrets of the foxes' unique abilities. The jewel-like orbs in their ears served as conduits, granting them extraordinary sensory perception, enabling them to detect even the faintest of cosmic fluctuations. The cluster of glass orbs on their tails served as a means of communication, a language akin to interstellar code. Eager to understand and appreciate these celestial guardians, the astronauts embarked on a quest to foster a mutually beneficial relationship with these extraterrestrial beings. They carefully studied the foxes' habitat and began breeding and raising them as intergalactic companions.

As time went on, the astronauts observed the foxes' nurturing instincts, witnessing how they instinctively provided guidance and protection. Together, they formed a harmonious alliance that pushed the boundaries of imagination and exploration. The alien foxes adapted to the astronauts' space-traveling lifestyle, accompanying them on interstellar expeditions, safeguarding their journey amidst the vast cosmos.

Do they interest you? YES! So fluffy!!

What other traits or ARPG ideas could be added? I think what you have is more than sufficient!

Should I post genetics as well or just use fox colorations? up to you. As someone who has done both in a species, I found genetics limited my creativity, but not everyone feels that way!

What items would you like to see? Sparkly things lol

Ps: I follow your gallery and saw this immediately xD

Ps 2: Should I translate them to Oekaki or keep them off-oekaki? Oekaki pls T.T I worry the closed species board is dying. Help

Yeah that's what I was thinking genetic-wise, I was thinking of taking the idea Stars has where the colors are unnatural but linked to a gene so I don't have to make up genes to explain them (because they are aliens) ;o;

And yeah! I may keep the off-oekaki lines for those that work better off them but translate them onto oekaki whenever I can. The off oekaki linea are HUGE (they are like 1350x1400 vs the 483x500 one I have scaled down on the thread)

@cryptpuppy Oh! I like the unnatural colors linked to genes. That sounds like the best of both worlds honestly!

....1350x1400!! Omg! That is crucial information for deciding :lol: I would be resizing if I won any adopts on those lines. But on the positive side, I could admire any adopts without my glasses on :thumbup:

Volx currency teaser

Postby cryptpuppy » Thu Jan 18, 2024 6:36 am

Volx Beads, or VB, are the beads from young Volx ears. Volx shed their auditory beads as they mature much like shedding their juvenile teeth. These small beads hold environmental information and are used in trading between different regions of Elysia. They are a form of currency on the planet and can be obtained via C$, pet exchange, exploration, or from leveling up your Volx! These can be exchanged for items in the Marketplace or exchanged between users in the Trading Hub.
