Cloudweaver Adopts

Postby Swiftalu » Wed May 21, 2014 3:30 pm

Welcome to Cloudweaver Adopts!


What is a Cloudweaver? wrote:Cloudweaver's are cat sheep hybrids that help ventilate good dreams to children in the world, while also gaining energy from the dreams. Their tails are literal dream catcher's and they usually have two tails, but can have up to three. One dream catcher is for the good dreams while the other is for the bad dreams. A CW's main diet consists of sweet, soft pastries; such as angel cake. They have no teeth, and are very gentle creatures. They are very scared in nature and will emit cloud puffs from either their head to the neck or around the paws, these clouds contain particles which makes anything around it sleepy or calm. The only thing that is able to withstand this is the CW's mortal enemy; the Nightweaver. Can you tame a Cloudweaver?

Basic Anatomy of a Cloudweaver

Image
From a far

Cloudeweaver's have the facial appearance of a cat and a rabbit-like nose to match. They are keen in scent, eyesight and hearing (Hearing being their strongest trait). Cloudweaver's never have short fur or a nose that isn't like a rabbits.

Image
Up close

Sometimes, a Cloudweaver may go through a genetic mutation and gain floppy ears instead of pointed, this is quite rarely seen however. If both parents had floppy ears and were to breed then the gene would pass down. If a Cloudweaver with pointed ears were to breed with floppy ears, then the chance of the gene passing down is quite low. No other ear style has been discovered.

Image

Cloudweaver tails are very flexible and sturdy, and come in 3 different sizes. They can either appear short (Uncommon), medium (Common) or long (Rare).

Image Image Image
Pictures of a short, medium and long tailed Cloudweaver

The tails can also appear in numbers of 1-3. The most common being 2, 3 is uncommon and having 1 tail is rare. Despite Cloudweaver's using 2 dream catchers to separate good and bad dreams, 1 tailed Cloudweaver's can still function fine without both in hand. Cloudweaver's never have no tails, as this would cause them to suffer hugely.

Image
3, medium tailed Cloudweaver

Each tail a Cloudweaver has is wrapped in a special string that does not fall down when the tail relaxes and attracts dreams. There are 3 different patterns the dream catcher can come in, each being handmade by the Cloudweaver.

Image
Messy string pattern

The messy string pattern shows that the Cloudweaver struggles in weaving.

Image
Crosshatch string pattern

The crosshatch pattern means that the Cloudweaver is an average weaver.

Image
Diamond string pattern

The last string pattern, diamond, shows that the Cloudweaver is skillful at weaving.
None of the patterns have much significant different to each other, nor does it affect the Cloudweaver negatively. Cloudweaver's are never found without a dream catcher wrapped around their tail.

The weaved dream catchers have an item that dangles next to it, to show that the Cloudweaver collects this specific item. There are only 4 known items that Cloudweaver's collect. The marble and feather are most commonly collected for Cloudweaver's, and the reason behind it has not been found yet. The less commonly collected items are gem stones and flowers and, again, the reason has not been found yet as to why. It is possible for some Cloudweaver's to not be interested in collecting items, however this is quite a rare occasion as their nature, in general, allows them to be fascinated by many things.

Cloudweaver's lastly have puffclouds coming from their fur, this is because their fur contains these particles from when they were newborns. The puffclouds can either come from the top of their head down to their neck (Like a horse mane) or be ringed around their ankles. It is more common to find a Cloudweaver with puffclouds coming from their head. Cloudweaver's never have both or no traits as this could overexert them or put them in serious danger, since the puffclouds carry the calming powder they produce.

A Cloudweaver's size is quite small, roughly the size of a domestic cat (Though a tad bit smaller).

Growing Your Cloudweaver

Postby Swiftalu » Wed May 21, 2014 3:31 pm

Baby Cloudweaver

You now have a fresh baby to interact with in order to grow. Unlike most adopts which require you to wait a certain amount of time, there is a weekly event help that allows your Cloudweaver to grow. The event will be explained later on, but now your Cloudweaver has to go through 5 levels before growing into an adult. The only way to level up is through experience, which is where the event will come in.

Physical appearances of a baby include them not having a tail, the owner will not be able to find out how many tails they have until the adult stage. A baby Cloudweaver also hasn't fully developed any cloud puffs, but still contain the particles in their fur.

Adult Cloudweaver

Since your Cloudweaver has reached the maximum level (5) there isn't really any interaction you can do with them now sadly. :c

You will now know your Cloudweaver's tail size, string pattern and the item it collects. Item collections are passed down from parents.


Levels

Total EXP needed - 10,000

1 - Needs 1,000 EXP to get to lvl 2 (Defeat 4 Nightweaver's)
2 - Needs 2,000 EXP to get to lvl 3 (Defeat 8 Nightweaver's)
3 - Needs 3,250 EXP to get to lvl 4 (Defeat 13 Nightweaver's)
4 - Needs 3,750 EXP to get to lvl 5 (Defeat 15 Nightweaver's)
5 - Max Level

Nightweaver Events

Postby Swiftalu » Wed May 21, 2014 3:31 pm

What are Nightweavers?

Nightweaver's are the arch enemies for Cloudweaver's. Instead of spreading good dreams, the feed on them and corrupt them into nightmares. Despite a Cloudweaver's gentle nature, they fight the Nightweaver's in order to protect the dreams.

A Nightweaver's appearance is similar to a Cloudweaver's.

Nightweaver's have a zig zag tail instead of a smooth one and the dream catcher that would be weaved into the tail is broken up for them. The eyes for a Nightweaver is glowing white and where a Cloudweaver would emit cloud puffs, the Nightweaver emits black smoke. Nightweaver's also always have dark colors, unlike a Cloudweaver's wide variations towards colors.

Nightweaver Scavenger Hunt Event

Please note: This event is closed until I am able to set it up, I appreciate your patience!

Every Saturday (In the US), Nightweaver's are hidden in posts to PM and challenge. This is a chance based game, where there is a 50% chance you can defeat it or lose to it. If you defeat it, then you gain 250 EXP points and the Nightweaver disappears, losing means the Nightweaver stays until another user challenges it and defeats it. You are given 5 go's to challenge Nightweaver's and try to get rid of them, to find them and challenge them, simply look for art of them in a staff member's post and PM that staff member, quoting the post that has the Nightweaver. Make sure to state which Cloudweaver you are using!

There is a small chance of an item drop to happen when you defeat a Nightweaver.


    Rules

    - Key searching words is not allowed, doing so can get you temporarily banned from scavenger hunting. Continuing to do so could risk causing you to get your Cloudweaver's revoked and getting banned.
    - Play fair! You can't PM one staff member 5 times and another one 5 times, this is not allowed
    - Poor sportsmanship towards the game could lead to warning, please remember this is a chance based game
    - You may only PM finding 1 Nightweaver at a time until replied to, multiple PMs without a reply will be ignored.

Here is the image of a Nightweaver to look for

Image


    Items (All of these have 1 use)

    Minor EXP Potion - Gives 250 EXP to the Cloudweaver when used
    EXP Potion - Gives 500 EXP to the Cloudweaver when used
    Major EXP Potion - Gives 1,000 EXP to the Cloudweaver when used
    Contact Lenses - Changes the eye color of a Cloudweaver
    Mood Ring - Changes the expression of a Cloudweaver
    Rainbow Paint - Changes the color of the Cloudweaver's collective item
    Twin Scroll - Guarantees twin Cloudweaver's when used

Special thanks to winter & fireflii (fireflii) for helping design the game

I can't wait to see how these turn out!
I had fun while I was here, but I've decided that it's time to quit cs.
I'll be giving away most of my stuff (as of June 4th).

If you want a specific pet of mine, feel free to pm me/send a trade.
Everything in the unlocked groups are up for grabs until they're gone.
If something gets canceled, try again.xxxxxxxxxxxxxLove y'all!
