MOVED HERE.








You find yourself in an unfamiliar area, dazed, not knowing you have ended up on a completely different planet. It's cold and the wind blows your hair as it chills you to the bone. It appears to be night out, the stars and two moons suspended in the sky above you. Snow flies around on the howling wind and you squint as you see a large dark figure just ahead. What is it? It doesn't look to be another person...

I large creature, almost as big as yourself steps from the swirling snow, her gentle, glowing purple eyes fixated on you. "Welcome to Calypso, young traveler. I am Isa, guardian of this place. Come with me, it's too cold for you to stay out here any longer, you'll freeze." You nod slowly and follow at her shoulder, her tall frame blocking some of the bitter wind. She leads you to a large opening in the side of a towering mountain. It's a cavern and torches line the walls of the space, softly illuminating the area. You are surprised to see other creatures like Isa as well as other humans mingling and lounging around, safe and away from the cold. Stalagmites hang here and there, and a large, clear pool of water stands along the back wall, water trickling from a crack in the wall. There are several different chambers, a network of tunnels and spaces within the mountain. "Welcome to the Great Cavern. Here you may meet new companions or befriend another Initium Novum." She nudges your back with her muzzle, pushing you forward gently, "Go on little one, talk to the others. Do not be afraid."

Nervous, you look back at the gentle giant, her warm gaze looking own on you and nod before stepping forward. Here, you would meet a companion hopefully for life...

The Initium Novum (Pronounced In-it-ee-um Nah-voom--Meaning "New beginning" in Latin.) is a large almost wolf/dragon like creature. They are found on the hidden planet of Calypso, light years away from the planet Earth. Calpso is slightly smaller that Earth and most of the planet is cool, snowy though there are warm and grassy areas as well for the sun loving Initium Novums. The species is usually found in the mountainous or highland regions of Calypso where the cooler weather is most comfortable for them though very few have been found in grassland areas. Those that live in the grasslands are said to have slightly shorter tails and thinner fur for the warmer climate. They have a somewhat thin body build and soft, fluffy fur to keep them warm. Their long tail is used for balance on slopes and in some cases serves as a scarf to protect against the wind. Long legs help with climbing, running, and walking through deep snow and the dragon like back feet and long claws help with climbing and gripping onto surfaces. The larger ears help pick up faint sounds. They have a somewhat wide nasal cavity that warms cold air as it's inhaled, making it easier to breathe in cold weather.

The Initium Novums are omnivores. They mainly feed on smaller animals such as rabbits and birds, but have also been known to take down larger animals like deer when they come along. They eat a variety of plants and have been known to love to eat berries and other fruits. They have sharp teeth to tear through meat but also have flat molars toward the back of their mouths for grinding down other foods.

There is a wide variety of coat colors and markings as well as unusual, bright eye colors. Males are usually larger and more muscular than the females and tend to have slightly duller colors. Either gender's weight ranges from 100 to 180+ and are slightly taller than the humans, though there have been a few ones that are smaller and stand at a human's shoulder. Height ranges from 6-8ft, sometimes smaller, length of the body can be 5-7 and the tail is usually around 6 or 7ft.

Initium Novums can have up to 4 children per birth and mating for life is more rare than what it used to be. The babies do not reach adult age until 3 human years have passed but there have been a few born with a rare syndrome, keeping them children for their whole life. They can live to be hundreds of years old and often outlive their human companions.

Here is we're we will post different kinds of contests! We will hold art contests to become an artist here, name that Initium Novum, writing contests, and so on. We will also give away Initium Novos, store items (custom positions, wildcards, accessory requests, aging potions and so on) as well as the change to gain a rare mutation to add to an offspring or a new adopt you win. Several contests may run at a time and will happen frequently so continue to check this!

Contest #1. Write a story of how you ended up on Calypso, what you saw, and who you met. (You may use any of my INs. Check the archives for others.) OR draw a picture of an Initium Novum. It can be plain, a pre-existing one, or you can come up with a little design of your own if you want. Two winners will be chosen with a runner up each. 1st place prize will be a Custom IN. I can do it for you, or you can wait until we get Oekaki lines to do it yourself. Runner ups will recive an IN each from the first litter born once we get baby lines or they can choose a design up for adoption to have for themself.

Q: How many Initium Novums can I own?
A: You may own as many as you want! All we ask is that you don't have so many that all they're doing is collecting dust. We want them to be loved and adored.

Q: If I no longer want mine, can I trade or sell it? If not, what can I do with it?
A: No! You may not sell or trade away you Initium Novum(s) as stated in the rules. If you no longer want one of yours I feel you have to many you are to send them back to TrueBluue so she can re-home them.

Q: Can I breed my Initium Novum?
A: Yes, you may, but you need to buy a token first from the shop and post the forum that's there. True or one of the artists will get to it.

Q: Can I make a custom?
A: Yes, but you need to get a token and True's permission.
