FIERCE
OPEN!
As you walk into the huge cavern, the word "Fierce" is scratched into the floor of the cave. The etchings are so deep they could have only been made by an animal with powerful claws and legs. A throaty rumble echoes from deep within the cave, and you suppress a scream. "Trespasser," Suddenly, a huge thing slams into you, smashing your body into the ground. You wail in terror, waving your extremities fruitlessly as you attempt to pummel the strange creature. Strangely enough, you weren't injured much. You realize that you have landed on a huge straw bed. It must have cushioned your fall! The round nest-like structure must be where the terrifying animal slept, as it smelled like raw meat, rotting vegetation, and farm animals. "Why are you here?" Its grumbling snarl made you scream yet again, a long purple viper stroking your stomach as it threatened to bite down. "Cavlin! Heel," A voice shouts out suddenly, making the frightening beast rise to its... hooves and claws and trot obediently over to the human. Long fingers stroked the mane of light, purplish fur around one of the two faces of the strange animal. "You don't have to attack every single person who comes in here!" "Your thing almost ate me!" You cry out in anger, scrabbling to your feet. "I'm terribly sorry about that," The girl sighs, obviously bored with having to explain this to every person who came into the damp cave. "Cavlin here is overprotective of his home, and the rest of the animals here as well." "What other animals?" You stutter, your eyes wide with wonder. "The other chimeras, of course!" As if on cue, other animals that looked exactly like Cavlin strode from the depths of the cave, their glowing eyes fiery and tough. "There are so many chimeras that were threatened by exotic animal poachers that most of them came to stay here with me." The girl smiles widely and says invitingly, "If you want, you can adopt them. But you have to be a really good owner, or else the chimeras might just want revenge." "O-okay," You mutter underneath your breath. You aren't sure what else to say. The chimeras do seem pretty awesome though. Maybe having one as a guardian companion wouldn't be so bad. You smile back at the girl and follow her into the herd (or maybe it's a pride) of chimeras.

ADOPTION
Before you can adopt a chimera, you have to understand a few rules of adoption!
1. No art theft allowed.
2. Only five slots are allowed to be filled at a time. If you ask for a chimera after all five slots are filled, I will ignore your request. Please only order one chimera at a time so that other people can have a chance to order too.
3. Pay your TU right away once I confirm your place in the waiting list. Do not pay me right after you post your form, as there may not be any slots left. Failure to pay for your art commission will result in me reporting you. I will wait one week for you to pay your TU, and after that, unless you have a valid reason, I will send a support ticket.
4. No complaining about your chimera! The results are completely random, and don't ask for a custom.
5. Post "Fierce" somewhere on your order form so I know you read the rules. If you do not have "Fierce" somewhere in your post, I will ignore your request.
WAITING LIST: 2. Open! 3. Open! 4. Open! 5. Open!
ADOPTION FORM:
Copy and paste this form! Personality is optional, just a bit of creative fun for those who want to create it.
Username: Name: Gender: Species: Egg: Personality: Other:
EGGS:
Chimera Egg 50,000 TU Infinite Available
Rainbow Chimera Egg 75,000 TU 49 Available
Splotched Chimera Egg 100,000 TU 25 Available

BREEDING
This is where you can breed your awesome chimeras! You can either breed two chimeras of your own, or you can request to breed someone else's chimera with your own. If you're breeding with someone else, you'll have to split everything fairly with them. Here are some rules of breeding:
1. Only three breeding slots allowed!
2. If you're breeding with another person's chimera, get permission from them by rmailed or posting on this thread or however else you want. After coming to an agreement, both users must either rmail me or post on this thread that they are okay with having their chimeras bred with each other.
3. Breeding costs 50,000 TU, plus 10,000 TU for every chimera you keep. For the chimeras you don't want, they get sent to the shelter.
4. To make sure you read the breeding rules, post "Chimera" somewhere in your form so I know you read the rules.
WAITING LIST:
1. Open! 2. Open! 3. Open!
BREEDING FORM:
Copy and paste this form. If you're breeding with another user's chimera, only one user has to post the form. Both people have to agree on the form though. Just post the names of the chimeras, as I have a record of all the adopted pets and can easily look them up myself. For the number range, this is optional and is meant to specify about how many chimeras you want in the litter. Please post a range, like 3-5, for this part of the form. If you leave it blank, I'll simply choose the number.
Usernames: Chimeras: Number Range: Other:

SHELTER
The shelter is where you can adopt abandoned, homeless chimeras. As with everything else im[injection]portant on this thread, there are rules for the shelter, but luckily, there are only four!
1. You can only adopt one chimera from the shelter at one time.
2. It costs 10,000 TU to adopt a chimera.
3. You aren't allowed to change anything about the chimera you adopt.
4. Put the word "Lion" or "Goat" somewhere on your post so I know you read the rules. Do not post both words, just post one!
ADOPTION FORM:
Username: Number: Name: Gender: Other:
ABANDONED CHIMERAS: There are no chimeras in the shelter!

ARCHIVES
The archive is pretty self-explanatory. If you lose the codes to your chimera, you can come and retrieve it here, in the archives. Don't steal anyone else's chimera, though! If you do, I will seize all of your own chimeras - if you own any - and place them in the shelter. I will ignore all orders requested by you if you steal someone else's chimera(s). If you steal more than one chimera, I will also go so far as to send in a support ticket. So yeah, don't steal. But because I trust all you wonderful users, I'm making the archives public. But you have been warned.

This is partly art theft, since it is not your design.

No, I didn't steal it, I took a tutorial on it. >_> It says in the first post that I took a tutorial on how to draw a chimera. I honestly didn't know that there was anything wrong with taking a public tutorial. I've seen other people sell drawings they made from using tutorials, so I thought that it was allowed, as long as I actually drew it myself using the tutorial, which I did, and didn't trace it.

People can sell adoptable tigers, but-if we're singing that tune, that would mean that's art theft too. o-o; But, I really don't think this would be 'theft' she drew the adoptables, so the art is hers. Not anyone else's, unless she sold the art to them. P:
I am online..

Well someone else drew it to begin with. It's copying someone else's design. I'm not going to argue but I'm just warning you.

Because this came from a tutorial, and the site specifically states "images if not copyright to dragoart.com are copyright to their respective users" it has been officially decided that this isn't a case of art theft. There was some question as to whether or not it was okay to use the design, but it still isn't willful or intentional theft. A tutorial is free for anyone to use, although some modification and your own creativity is encouraged.
So to recap, officially, this is not considered art theft, because it came from a public tutorial on how to draw the chimeras.
Wishbelle: when you have concerns over this type of thing, you should put it in a private form such as an rmail to Support staff, or a Support Ticket. It is impolite and out of place to outright accuse someone of theft on a public forum.

Rainbow ones can be a variety of different colors, while normal ones usually are more neutral colors.
