About The Breed....
Salemandre are a unique breed that only appear during severe natural storms or disasters, depending on which element they connect to the most. When threatened, they are capable of defending themselves by producing natural chemicals to stun predators. The actual chemical produced depends on the breed. While some simply paralyze, others may also poison, or cause hallucinations.
Interestingly, a Salamandre who willingly gives its blood to another can give them the same immunity that they have. For example, if a Darkness one gives its blood, the receiver will become immune to any plague or becoming able to survive on limited food rations. A fire salemandre can allow an individual to be literally fireproof. Very rare occurrences of this have been recorded, but it is an extremely effective cure.
Salemandre thrive off of their element- the reason they appear in times of disaster is because the 'power' of their food source is disrupted and empowered, causing more of them to gather in the area. They are otherwise very, very hard to even spot, and most instances of them being seen have been pushed off as mere urban legends. Though it is impossible to truly own a Salemandre, when one gives its blood to a human, they usually will follow that individual around as a sort of familiar.
Leather made from their hide is impervious to their element, but is considered to be cruel and unusual to harvest, though many have tried.
They do NOT:
-get caught to be put up for adoption! If captured by humans, which very rarely happens, they would be skinned for their hide. I can't stress this enough- they choose to be bound to a human, but don't necessarily do that because as a whole, the breed enjoys freedom.
-ever have wings of any sort that function to fly
-have more than 2 elements, and 2 elements are very, very rare. You must get approval from me, Jager, before making one like that, and even then, the elements must be similar.
-raise their young. Though some have mammalian features, they are reptiles.
-appear frequently. Salemandres are intended to be a rare breed, not like pets that you just stumble across one day in your back yard. They have high intelligence and can choose whether or not to give their blood to a human.
-have a standard set of features for one particular element. Salemandres vary very, very greatly from one another even within the same elemental family. The only ones that appear the same are laboratory made ones (customs), because they are more specific and less prone to mutations.
-wear human accessories, unless previously or currently bonded to a particular human who favored an accessory. All wild ones will be item-less- they will have mutations only. However, using a Hunter's Missive, you can add an object or mutation to your lab-born Salemandre.
They DO:
-have very high intelligence, greater than or equal to that of humans.
-live limitlessly- they are immortal, unless killed by disease (which rarely happen), or hunted by humans.
- have history- they've been around since before the dinosaurs.
-vary in size. They can be any size between a small dog or bigger than a blue whale. It depends on the availability of thier food source and age.
-have blood gifts. It isn't like on has one and one doesn't. Each Salemandres blood has magical properties.
-breed, but the parents are reptiles, and therefore do not raise the offspring. They are born as smart as an eight year old human with the instincts to survive.
-choose whether to reveal themselves to a human or not. Most live away from mankind, but every now and then, a rare one will give its blood to a human and seal their bond until that human's lifespan is over, which frees them from the partnership again.
1 user can only have up to 3 Salemandres captured from the wild. Any forms submitted after reaching this limit will be ignored. Customs do NOT count toward this limit.

Adopting Pre-Created Adopts
These are Free!
If you no longer want a Salemandre anymore, you must return it to here to be put up for adoption again. It isn't allowed to put them in places like character adoption agencies here, and I ask that you respect this rule of mine.
Fill out the form by posting it here or on the adopts page you want. Unadopted Salemandres will be marked with an X in the bottom right corner of their page. Transparent images of the adopted Salemandre may be provided, and usually will be unless my time is limited.
The more detailed your form, the more likely you will get the salemandre. ^^ I will not give away any Salemandres to people who put minimal effort in to their adoption form. Write at least a pararagraph or two instead of giving simple reasons like 'it is so pretty'.
Also, Salemandres do NOT have parents as of right now. They are not able to breed yet, but even when they do, it should be noted that they are REPTILES, and that their parents would not raise them anyway.

PM me with your qualifications and why you want the job. ^^ I appreciate correct grammar.
Breed Count:
When one breed starts becoming more common than another, the population of the popular breed will decline and the others will increase until it has evened out. All Salemandres will be created in similar numbers, or at least they will be attempted to be. Counts include both completed customs and completed wilds.

Sacred Objects
I'm not too big in to points systems, but I will have two additional items that can be purchased or won to use on your Salemandres. As of now, I'm the only artist using these 2, because of the time and line alterations that these items will cause an artist to spend. n_n Sacred objects will purposely be hard to obtain.
In order to breed, a user has to purchase an Essence Potion to call a new Salemandre(s) into existence based off of two existing ones, regardless of whether they share the same element or not. If there are 2 separate Salemandre owners involved, they will each get a pick of the clutch and if there are any other designs, they will be 'set free' for adoption. For example, if a breeding creates 3 new eggs, each Salemandre's owner can have one, but the last one will be put up for adoption. These are transferable (you can gift them to other users), but they will be kept track of so you must alert me or the artist you bought the Essence Potion from before you gift one to another user. Please, be aware of whether or not the artist you are trying to purchase an Essence Potion for is open or not, breeding slot-wise. If not, do not send them it.
Cost: 1 Rare
The other new option is to obtain a Hunter's Missive through special events or competitions so that you can add another mutation to your existing Salemandre. These include accessories, which are not naturally existent on an animal so they aren't a part of any design or custom. The exception is wings- Salemandres will never have wings, aside from wing-like, smaller appendages such as head wings or feet wings. Basically, a Hunter's Missive allows you to add anything from a spiked collar to a halo to an extra few tails on your Salemandre. These will not be available for purchase but are rarer objects.
Cost: Unobtainable Through Trading
*Hunter's Missives have no payment. Also, send payment to the artist you intend to eventually allow to do the breeding. It's best to make sure they have the slot open before you offer. Closed artists do not have to accept payment for an Essence potion.
