Gem Folves

Postby LostHope » Sat Jul 28, 2012 8:17 pm

Welcome to the Gem Folves!

what is a Gem Folf?
A Gem Folf is a fox-like creature but is the size of a wolf. Everything about them us bigger. Their tails, ears, longer legs, and a bigger snout. They have large tufts of fur hanging out of their ears, and one would think it would hamper their hearing. This is not the case, the hair-like fur actually acting much like a string and cup telephone line, amplifying the vibrations in the air. Gem Folves have beautiful gems embedded into their skulls and give them mystic powers. Males have an extra, smaller gem that grants them slightly more power. The gems that emit a faint, or bright glow are signs of a more powerful Gem Folf.

Behavior:
Gem Folves act much like typical foxes. They are mischievous and sly, but curious and very playful. However, they seem to form small packs and clans, reacting to one another as wolves would. They hunt small animals like rabbits and mice, though will scavenge larger meals and scraps left behind by other predators. They use their gems to attract mates as well as fight.

Territory and habitats:
Gem Folves can be found mainly in forested areas, though some live in mountainous regions and hoard gems much like dragons. These often have small protruding fangs jutting out over their bottom jaw. Rarely do they live in the arctics, though there are a few in pockets. They have a territory of several miles, and will dig large fox holes and dens, creating tunnels deep underground. Occasionally when new kits are born, or another Gem Folf joins in, another chamber will be dug out for them. This occurs when each chamber houses four folves inside. Generally, Gem Fovles of the same gem colors join together, each folves targeting their opposite color in brutal attacks for dominance and territory.

Rules:
Do not steal the lines
Do not take a design that is not yours, or copy them.
Behave yourself please. This means don't be rude, complain, or just be bothersome.
4 Gem Folf limit until they are popular.


Custom form: 1 custom at a time. Customs go toward your 4 Folf limit.

Opposites do NOT attract+ basic information

Postby LostHope » Sat Jul 28, 2012 9:30 pm

Understanding opposite colors is basic:
Red vs green, blue vs orange, yellow vs purple, black vs white. But... what happens when you start going into different shades? Say, red violet. What it it's opposite color? Why, yellow green is. But, what about brown? This is where things start to get complicated.... But don't worry, I will keep track of it's opposite color, and don't worry too much if a gold gem has an opposite color of say, green. It's simply the hex color's opposite hex, and them that color's category. like I said, things my get a little complicated once they start mixing into the red-purples and such.

Why do gem folves have opposite colors?
Simple. To help give character to the species and make things more fun. If you own a diamond and an onyx, you can't breed them. In fact, they are mortal enemies. This also helps pave a path towards an RP.

How many gems could there possibly be?
Heh... Emeralds, rubies, sapphires.... These aren't the only gems one can be born with. Precious and semi-precious gems and stones are all available, meaning Jaspers, Agates, Quartz, Black and white onyx stones, Cat's Eyes, Jade, Lapis... And the list goes on. The most commonly found gems are indeed precious gems such as diamonds and emeralds.

How does breeding with two different gems work?
Opposites aside, when two different gem types breed, the offspring will share one of the parent's gems. The more common the gem, the higher the chance it will be inherited. So a rose quartz breeding with a ruby may have an outcome of a ruby. But there is still always a chance of producing another rose quartz.

How does breeding in general work?
When someone wants to breed their Gem Folves, or their's with someone else's, they can fill out a form asking an artist to breed them together. 1-3 kits will then be born, gender being chosen by the artist, or preset by the customer. breeding lines may be created, but are not planned right now.

More information possibly to come. If there are any questions about the species, please feel free to ask.
