information
Vilkians are unique, independent creatures possessing the combined assets of both deer, wolves, and some mythical creatures. Each Vilkian is different like humans, each having their own opinions, likes, and dislikes. Their appetites vary, as some have been known to eat solely meat, though others primarily fruits, leaves, and berries. Some Vilkians tend to be more domesticated than others, occasionally preferring prepared pet food over freshly killed prey of their own. Due to environmental adaptations and mysterious outside forces, Vilkians may possess very similar or completely undiscovered physical attributes. While some of these traits are considered more rare than others, they all tend to have hooved front feet and pawed hind legs. Most creatures posses a set of horns, while others have mutated over time and may have no horns at all! Each can have an infinite number of color variations and markings, along with unique personalities and interests.


history
Vilkians are a nature-based species, and most are born directly from The Tree of Life, a mystical plant found only in the deepest reaches of the forest. There are many of these trees around the world, though only one is known to produce Vilkians. When the magical plant blossoms, hundreds of tiny saplings are dropped, similar to seeds or fruit. These pods must be handled with extreme care, as each one contains its own individual Vilkian. The Tree of Life's Blossoming is a special occasion that is often celebrated within Vilkian culture.


lifestyle
After a Vilkian has blossomed, it may decide to travel many different ways. Some creatures may remain in packs with relatives, settling around The Tree of Life and relying on it for resources as well as awaiting new young to raise into their wild ways. Others may stray away from the pack and settle independently, though many of these Vilkians tend to be more aggressive than those living with multiples of the species. As of recent years, however, various Vilkians have decided to reside alongside caring and warm-hearted caretakers, choosing a life of luxury over the wilderness and behave more as a pet.


breeding
As a Vilkian comes of age, they may decide to search for a suitable mate to settle down with. After finding their match, they will travel with their lover(s) to visit what is referred to as The Breeding Den- a cozy little cave just West of The Tree of Life. Inside, couples will roam about the caverns until discovering a comfortable spot in which to mate, planting their blossom seeds in that area's soil afterwards. Information on the actual mating process is scarce, although we know it includes the use of magic and that Vilkians tend to sing or hum music while mating, leading us to believe it may be some sort of elaborate dance. The Breeding Den is rather small, however, which may somewhat limit its couple capacity per mating season. Couples will always wait until the time designated as 'mating season' before breeding because these particular times are those in which the soil is softest and therefor the safest for Vilkian seeds to be planted in.

Postby Graceymc96 » Sat Mar 05, 2016 4:56 am

post rules
Please do not double post or quote any forms you think we have not seen. Advertising unrelated topics and spamming will not be tolerated and any spam will be immediately reported and removed. Please try to refrain from mini-modding as well- if there is an issue or someone has broken any of our rules, simply PM one of the main mods and we will handle the situation.


trade rules
Vilkians can be resold and retraded, but transfers will not be moderated by the mods- determining the worth of your pet is entirely up to the individual's owner. If you no longer wish to own your Vilkian(s) and do not feel like reselling or readopting them, please PM one of the mods so that your Vilkian can be put up for re-adoption and introduced to a new, happy home. Make sure to notify a main mod when taking part in any transaction so that the changes can be officially archived.


art rules
Drawing your own and others' Vilkians is allowed and even encouraged, though proper credit and some sort of link back to the main thread must be given if any art or official adopts are posted outside of CS. Commissioning art or creating lines / your-character-here's of the species is permitted, though exploiting any other monetary gain from The Tree of Life or any of its concepts or claiming any as your own is strictly forbidden and you will be banned and all of your Vilkians and petals will be confiscated. Recoloring, editing, or tracing any official art is also against the rules.

artist applications

Are you interested in becoming a Vilkian artist?
Artists are responsible for designing Vilkians to distribute, creating the terms of their adoption, and PM'ing one of the main mods with the forum topic created for their Vilkian's try-outs. All who apply may not be accepted, as the mods are mostly searching for those who can create unique designs and quality Vilkians, along with those who are compatible with the other mods. To apply, please fill out and post the form below;

Code: Select all
★ I would like to apply to become an artist!★
[size=85][b]Username:[/b]
[b]deviantArt:[/b]
[b]Why do you want to become an artist?:[/b]
[b]How much prior knowledge do you have with The Tree of Life?:[/b]
[b]Do you have past experience with adoptables?:[/b]
[b]Example Art:[/b]
[b]Art Programs Used:[/b]
[b]Anything else you would like to add:[/b][/size]

If you do not have a deviantArt, you may delete that portion of the form. Under Skype, a yes or no is suggested, though you do not have to list your Skype in the form. If you are accepted and happen to have one, you may be notified at a later time by a main mod for it. Artists applications will be judged and results posted at random times, but please do not re-apply if you are not accepted or think the mods have not seen it. Applications will be posted after the main mods are satisfied with the number of new artists.
