Use this thread as a guide on how to set up your pet's journal. You don't actually have to follow any of this information, except the first post. Shortly, we should have a journal set up to use as a reference.

This is still being worked out, so feel free to post comments at the end. When they have been considered, we'll make appropriate changes, then delete the relevant comments.

Contents of your pet's journal (post by post)

I. Title, picture, pet's stats and inventory - WE POST THIS
II. Basic information
III. Pet's family and history
IV. Pet's owner (The character)
V. Pet's owner (About you)
VI - ?. Do what you want for the rest

The following posts will go more in-depth on each of these.

I. Title, picture, pet's stats, and inventory


Title
The title of your thread will include your pet or pets' names. Each of your pets will have its own thread, unless you request otherwise. Their names will be in the title.

At the top of the first post will also be a title. You can make your own, and have one of the crew edit it in. Otherwise, it will simply be your pet (or pets) name(s) centered in large font.

Picture
This is the one place you will stay direct-linked, even after your pet is fully grown. If you're active, keep an eye on it, because something might just happen...

Pet's stats

Various important things about your pet, such as age, type of vullius, and anything else we think should be here.

Inventory

Here is where we'll list any items that your pet has, including potions and decorations, such as jewelry. Anything purchased in the Store will appear here, including items not currently in use. There may also be some items related to the storyline that will show up in this section.

III. Pet's family and history


Pet's Family
If your pet is descended from other vulli, or if you have agreed with another RPer to have some other relationship between your vulli, this is where you would explain those relationships.

Mated pairs must have believable back-story in the RPing before they'll be accepted, especially in regards to breeding.

History

Your pet's backstory. When your pet is an orb, there really isn't much you can put in here. Later, you can put in descriptions of important events in your pet's life.

This is also where you would probably put any memories your pet developed about the Vulli homeworld. Your pet will start out with few or none of these, however, and will normally "discover" them through RP.

IV. Pet's owner (The character)


This is the post in which you will describe the in-world character that owns your vullius. Think of this as your author-insert character. This is you, just in the story-world. So you can choose to change things, but try to keep the character believable.

Important information to include in this post:
•Physical description
•Personality
•Profession (can be "student" or "child")
•Useful and interesting abilities
•History

V. Pet's owner (About you)


Basically, this is where you can say whatever you want about yourself, the real you. Interests, what you do all day, list your friends, what you're looking for in an RP, you name it, you can put it here. (Even your favorite recipe, if you so desired. =P) Feel free to do what you want with this post.




VI - ?. The Rest of the Thread


Yours to do with as you will. You can keep an actual journal, or use it as a hang-out for your pet and your pet's friends, or just somewhere to post fun song lyrics; it doesn't really matter, it's your thread after all!
