post i.    INTRO
post ii.   INFO
post iii.  SPHINX
post iv.  ITEMS

---

The ruins are silent, but never still. Each wall of each hallway is similar; sloppy, 
deep rows carved into stone filled with books and scrolls and all sorts of weary,
 weathered things that you fret would fall apart under your touch. 

You could call this place a labyrinth, if you wished; 
the passages change, and if getting lost every time wasn't enough proof, 
you can feel it under your feet, a fluctuating rumble as if the maze is alive 
and breathing and keeping you under constant surveillance 
which it most certainly is ). 

However, it is far from the malevolent maze of legend, void of traps and dead ends. 
The exit always seems to appear just as you are starting to feel lost and hopeless. 

And you never overstay your welcome. After all, this is their home, not yours.

--

There is a room within the ruins filled not with books, but where 
you might instead stumble upon a curious collection of eggs. 

The unhatched sphinx in this sanctuary have waited a long time for a caretaker, 
likely much longer than you have been alive.

|| about

The sphinx are of a dying breed, proud but few. Renowned for both their intellect and raw power, the cause of this long-lived race's decline can only be speculated, and with as mysterious as they are they are reluctant to share their secrets. It has long been said, though, that those willing to shelter or bring aid to a sphinx will be granted favors, gifts, or answers to the most compelling questions of history. Those who cross them, however, at best risk becoming victim to their mind games- and at worst, becoming a meal.

Loners by nature, for a sphinx to bond with another creature is quite rare, and many live their entire adult lives alone in solitude. Fortunate few are capable of establishing deep connections with others, the imprint indeed so sudden and powerful that from the very instant she meets their eyes, a sphinx will understand that she will be with them until death. To have a sphinx's trust is to have her eternal loyalty, regardless of her natural demeanor. There is nothing she would not do for her chosen ones.

|| rules

i. The concept of a sphinx is obviously not my own, but I do make all the designs myself and put a lot of thought and care into each one! You may do whatever you wish with the character and change them however you like, however I ask you do not edit my art or claim my art is yours.

ii. I take only tu or cp right now, unless otherwise stated (I may occasionally host deals for certain items I need). Sorry if my prices seem weird, I have never been good at pricing my art stuff! I'm sure I'll learn!

iii. First come first serve. 

iv. Buying for other people is fine. So is giving your sphinx away. I request you don't resell them later on, but I can't really stop you. If you do choose to get rid of them, a link back to me here or my DA would be very appreciated, at the least!

v. Please show me if you ever draw your sphinx!!

UNHATCHED


NONE CURRENTLY! check back soon!


"domestic" | available: 0
These sphinx generally pose the least threat to others, known for being more tolerant than their sistren. Although they can certainly hold their own when provoked, they prefer to learn and observe from a distance- where others cannot meddle in their business and cause trouble to begin with. "Domestic" sphinx are usually based off domestic breeds of cat, small wild cats, and smaller species of birds.

--



"big cat" | available: 0
Crossing one of these sphinx can immediately make your day the best or worst of your life- or your last. They are often territorial, and have occasionally been known to stalk victims for entertainment, and are capable of keeping up the hunt for months on end before something greater catches their interest. However, these instances are fairly rare, and most sphinx encounters can end peacefully as long as respect is given. "Big Cat" sphinx are usually based on large wild cats, exotic birds, and birds of prey.

--




"mythical" | available: 0
Sphinx have a long life span indeed, but some far surpass all others. These sphinx are believed to have roamed the Earth far before our time, and others yet believe they are born from powerful deities. They do not often resemble any living species from our world. Subcategories include "angelic," "eldritch," and "wildcard".

SCROLLS

These magical bits of sphinx literature can have interesting effects on their reader,
 if one knows how to use them correctly. They are a bit hard to come by, 
but quite easy to notice if you do happen to stumble upon one in the ruins.

domestic/big cat: 15mil
mythical: 20mil

Create a custom spinx. You choose the base, cat/bird species,

HEART CRYSTALS

It is said that these meticulously crafted gems hold ancient sphinx 
magic at their very core. Sphinx do not reproduce the same as 
other beings, and it is rare enough that one would find a partner 
she wishes to start a clan with. If she is so fortunate, however,
 the pair may combine their powers and manipulate a crystal to create new life


Sphinx that belong to two different users may breed.
However, every new kitten requires a heart.

If you are not the first human to enter this sanctuary, 
you are certainly the first to pluck an egg from the walls.

The curious orb is ice cold, frosted over, but pulses in your hand.
The scent of saltwater is faint but unmistakable.

--


clouded leopard x puffin
While others graze the skies, this sphinx pines for the sea.
She is capable of submerging to the deeps in icy waters
to search for sunken treasure.

-- 

Theatrics aside I hope you enjoy her!! I was sooo tempted to keep this one myself but the last thing I need are new ocs omg,,

The orb carries with it the unmistakable scent of pine,
which sticks to your fingertips like sap under the sun
and refuses to wash off long after you've set the egg down.

--

american bobtail x cardinal
This spunky sphinx is built to climb the tallest pines,
and it's fortunate she has wings, for her balance
leaves much to be desired.

This egg blends in with the stone shelves,
easy for the eyes to glance over without noticing its presence.
Only upon approaching does it glow softly, as it's been waiting for you.

--


siamese x house sparrow
Common sparrows are plentiful and all around us.
This sphinx is only one, but she makes up by trying to be everywhere at once 
and shows no fear towards the unfamiliar or unknown.

You return to find that, without word or warning, 
three new eggs have made camp on the dusty shelves
without a trace of who or what left them here.

If you approach close enough, you can almost hear
the orbs coo.

  

(This is a themed batch- columbidae )

The colors of these kittens are soft and easy on the eyes,
but perhaps you may find their pelts unexciting,
or suspect a little more color would brighten their lives.


new item: ink quill
1mil

Change 1-2 colors on your existing sphinx.
OR
Add any 1 custom color and/or color pattern to your sphinx.

The egg glistens like silver silk under sunlight
and feels as though it's quivering in your palm,
the soul inside itching to break out.

--


manx x helmet pigeon
With her mind set, no threat is great enough to stop this fiery sphinx
although she may, on occasion, bite off more than she can chew
and go after prey easily five times her size.
