Newton Adopts-Open Species!

Postby soupalicious » Thu Oct 25, 2012 1:35 am

"We're receiving word from our local reporters that the first Newtons have been successfully imported into the country! They are all in good shape and are behaving normally, and all sport a brilliant range of colour between them. These new and exciting creatures are going to be gifted to zoos, private collections and deserving members of the community, with all this being possible due to their hardy constitutions and complete lack of fear around humans. Their export is being strictly monitored, however, and demand is expected to outstrip supply for many years to come!"

Image
It has been 40 years since the introduction of the first Newtons to the general public. Their numbers quickly increased from the original stock, making owning a Newton possible for practically anyone with the time for them!

Originally discovered on a tropical island far out to sea, these strange creatures gained the nickname 'Newtons' from their love of the Fig Newtons being carried by the researchers exploring the island. Researchers were often followed by packs of up to 20 Newtons hoping for another treat!
Determined to an ancient off-shoot of the deer family, these creatures are perfectly adapted to their jungle habitat. With no predators on their island, males and females alike display brilliant and vivid colours, large fluffy patches of fur anywhere on their body (although some can be bald!) and anywhere from 1-4 horns, although anything above 2 is fairly rare. Their diet is mostly fruit and plants, although they love catching and eating the giant insects that live on their island. Their thin, elongated body and prehensile tail allows them to wind through the jungle trees with ease, while also giving them a fairly decent climbing ability, although they prefer to keep their feet on the floor!

About the size of a large dog, Newtons have become popular pets. With their bright colours, cheeky personalities and complete lack of fear, it's easy to see why people love them so much!

General:
Newtons are an open species, meaning you can make your own Newtons with their own wonderful designs! They can come in every colour, pattern and variation under the sun, the only limit is your imagination! You can also breed your Newtons using the Nursery thread, and see your Newton family grow :)
Futher information about a Newtons appearance, diet and behavior can be found here!
Artists may also pop in from time to time and create Newtons that are up for adoption! However, there are a few rules...

Rules:
-There's no limit on the number of Newtons you can own- go crazy!
-Obviously, do not steal or claim the species as your own.
-You are not allowed to copy a previous design, or a design by another user. Anyone caught doing so will be barred from making Newtons.
-If you no longer want you Newton, you are free to give it to another user.
-You can NOT, however, trade your Newton for DA points/ real world currency! Creating adoptables for pets on Chicken Smoothie/ Flight Rising/ any other pet site is fine, however!
-You can draw/write/rp your Newtons anywhere you want-I only ask that you link back to this thread or give credit!

Re: Newton Adopts FAQ!

Postby soupalicious » Thu Oct 25, 2012 1:37 am

-So what is a Newton?
  • A Newton is a mammal distantly related to a deer. They have lost the hooves on their front legs and instead have very rudimentary paws- while their individual toes are very limited in range of motion, their wrists are very flexible, helping them climb trees in their natural environment!
  • Their closest natural parallel would be the extinct Pig-footed Bandicoot, which had a similar conformation of hooved hind legs and pawed front legs.
  • They can come in any colour under the sun and often have extra fur over their body. Their overall coat is of very short, fine and velvety hair, while their manes can be anything from curly to wiry to fluffy!

-How many can I have?
  • As many as you'd like! The old restriction has been lifted :)

-Can I make roleplays for/with them?
  • You are more than welcome to! If you make a roleplay for them, your allowed- and encouraged!- to post it in the fanclub! (Obviously, if it is a 1x1 you are more than welcome to keep it private!)

-Can I pair them with my OC's?
  • You can pair your Newton's with your own personal OC's- they simply can't breed! Only two Newton's will produce fawns.

Can same-gender Newton's breed?
  • Yes! Thanks to the magic of science, a same-gender pair can indeed have fawns! No extra items or anything are needed for this (〃・ω・〃)
    More on Newton relationships and breeding here!

Can I ask another artist to design my Newton?
  • Sure can! You can check in the fanclub and see if someone is offering to do customs, or you can look in one of the user-run custom shops and see if anyone has any slots open to buy a design!

Can I draw my Newton in Sai/Photoshop/GIMP/Another art program?
  • Of course! I understand some people can have trouble with the oekaki; all you have to do is post a default Newton and then link to your actual design under the placeholder.

Can I make multiple albino/piebald/'rare' coloured Newtons?
  • Definitely! As Newtons are a domesticated species, rarer coat colours like albinos, piebalds, etc are often bred for, and can be very popular! There's no restrictions to the colours you can use for your Newtons :)

My Newton is featured in some official art- can I use that art?
[list=][*] If it's official art drawn by me (Soupalicious) such as a banner, guide or image that features your Newton, then you are more than welcome to use that art! Rules are the same as the rules for the Newton lines- credit where credit is due, no claiming it was made by someone else, no selling etc etc![/list]

When breeding your Newtons, you can either ask an artist if they can design a pair of fawns for you (provided they are open, of course!) OR you can design and draw your own fawns!

Each breeding produces 2 Newton fawns, with the default ownership being 1 fawn to each parent (and obviously, the owner of said parent!).
However, this can always be altered! Who the fawn goes to is decided by the owners of the breeding Newtons. You are even allowed to offer up baby Newtons for adoption in the thread! (Note: You cannot ask for payment in return for a baby Newton. They are to be given out freely!)

A Newton may breed as many times as they want!

Newton fawns tend to inherit their parents horn, mane shape and fur colour, however variations are to be expected! Every now and then, a fawn may be a 'throwback' and resemble a grandparent in some way, or may even come up with a completely different fur pattern than their parents!

Same-gender Newton's are also able to breed through the wonders of SCIENCE! (And a donor/brood mother, provided at no cost!).

*Auto stalk enabled*

Adorable! I am so going to try get myself one of those. ^^
Quitting CS.
The community I used to love has grown into a rude, hateful group. I can't take it.
The Trade Rant Thread, rude trade messages, adoptables where you get blamed for copying everyone...
There are good here, I know there is, but sadly, it is outweighed by the bad.
If I, piratepanda, meant anything to anyone here, promise me you give someone a compliment each day, a random stranger or someone you know. Even simple words can make someone happy.

You can still find me on Flight Rising (Piratepandas) or Transformice (Piratpanda).
Goodbye CS. It was fun while it lasted.
Quitting CS...
