Welcome!

Hello! And welcome to Welcome Home, a pet directory! What sort of pet directory, you may ask? This is a page for all sorts of Neopets users to list and tell us a little bit about their Adopted Pets. Being able to create a pet and care for it on your own is a wonderful thing; but when you adopt and give a home to somebody else's unwanted pet, the deed is even greater. You're giving that pet a second chance, as well as something that it has since been deprived of: a loving home!

This is a non color- nor species-specific directory, so everybody's adopted pets can get listed! Whether you were gifted a pet, applied for your dreamie, or just found a pet in the pound that caught your fancy, here's where you can tell everyone all about your happily rehomed pets! There are just a few rules:

- Please list permie pets only. As in, pets that you intend on keeping forever.
- None of the pets in this directory are UFA! This is NOT an adoption agency! These pets have already found their forever homes, so please do not pester their owners. :)
- If you list a pet in this directory that you eventually want to trade off or rehome, please let me know so that I may remove your pet from this page. Let's try to avoid doing this, okay?

Newly Added Pets

Updates & Announcements

Back from a school-related hiatus!
I'm so surprised people are still managing to find this site; I haven't been advertising it anywhere, and I've never even gotten around to listing this page/seek affies. You people are wonderful! :*
+ 4 new pets
+ New Featured Pet: Jacques

Deleted some old updates.
+ New Affie - ZYDP!

Saturday, January 14th, 2012; founded Welcome Home!

Featured Pet

Jekkali the Chocolate Yurble
Owned by: Kirbi (the_beatles_55)
Nickname: Jacques
How did you get this pet?: Jacques was UFA and I didn't want to apply for him at first, but since his name was stuck in my head for a while, and he was adorable, so I decided to apply for him! I made a petpage application for him and was finally chosen to adopt him on January 8th, 2012!
About Jaques: Jacques was born in Neopian Paris, NeoFrance, and moved here to Neopia Central when he was a child. He and his dandan, Fraise currently own Le Patisserie Chocolat de Jacques! (Translation: Jacque's Chocolate Pastry Shop!)

Add your Pet

Did you ever adopt a pet? Do you still own that pet? Do you intend on keeping that pet as a permie? Excellent! If you answered yes to all of those questions for any one of your pets, that pet can be listed here at Welcome Home! Welcome Home is a directory whose goal is to proudly display everybody's adopted pets and provide viewers with a few kind words about it. You have the opportunity to introduce your pet to everyone and tell us how you crossed paths with him or her. Whether it was chance, fate, desire, or dumb luck, all of your adopted pets have a story!

If you're interested in listing your pets, please read over these rules:
1. You may list one or more pets, but only if...
2. All pets you decide to list MUST be permies! If you just impulsed a pet from the pound, you might be thinking "Oh, I'm definably keeping this one forever!" But will you really? Please ask yourself that and give yourself some time before you go and submit your pet to our database. You might be attached to a pet now, but in a few months, your appreciation for it could dwindle down, causing you to trade it, or even re-abandon it...
3. Send all submissions to your_freedom. It's more convenient for me.
4. Please fill out an individual form for each and every pet that you submit. Again, it's just convenient for me. If you're submitting multiple pets at once, try to fit as many forms onto a Neomail as you can. If you run out of room, feel free to send me multiple Neomails. Just make sure they all have similar titles, such as "My Pets 1, My Pets 2" or "Submissions, Submissions cont.".
5. Please be polite. :) I always try to do the same for everyone who Neomails me.
6. Yes, I CAN link to petpages if you want (For example, if you would like for me to link to your pet's character page, art reference, etc.). Simply provide me with the desired link in your form.

The Form
Everything with an * next to it is optional, meaning you don't HAVE to fill it out. And please delete everything between the ( )'s before submitting!
Pet's Actual Name:
*Pet's Nickname:
Species:

Your Username: (You need not fill this in multiple times if you are submitting more than 1 pet; putting this in your first form will work)
*Your Name: (You need not fill this in multiple times if you are submitting more than 1 pet; putting this in your first form will work)
Category: (Adopted, From the pound, or Gifted)
How did you get this pet?: (In your own words, tell us how you came to own this pet. You can start from the very beginning, such as, "It all started when I first saw Faerie Draiks in the Rainbow Pool..." Or, it can be short and sweet: "I liked her name, so I adopted her from the pound.")
*About PET NAME HERE: (You can describe your pet to us here. You can say a few things about their personality, what sort of story you made up for them, what sort of things you like to do with them, roleplaying status, anything!)
Would you like your pet to have a chance at being the Featured Pet?: (The Featured Pet is a usually random pet listed in the directory that I choose to be on the front page. All information you submitted in this form will be visible to others, and you will be notified if your pet is Featured. Yes / No)

All About Adopting

Adopting first became a part of Neopets when The Neopian Pound was implemented in 2000. Since then, trading and lending have become possible for Neopets users. You're not limited to only caring for the pets you create, and likewise, you can abandon your unwanted pets, too.

Welcome to The Neopian Pound. This is where kind-hearted souls can find the perfect Neopet for themselves, often far smarter and much better behaved than the younger Neopets. Cruel, irresponsible owners can abandon their unwanted Neopets and hope that someone will eventually come along and care for them.

Despite how... heartless... TNT can make it sound, not everybody who wishes to abandon their pets is cruel. In fact, some of the kindest, most caring users put their pets up for adoption.

Who puts pets up for adoption? Why?
There are many, uncountable reasons for why somebody would want to put their pets up for adoption (or UFA, as many on the Neopian Pound Boards will abbreviate it). In most cases, users find that they've grown tired of the pets they once loved and feel that somebody else may want them. Others simply run out of room on their accounts and hope that getting rid of one or more of their pets will solve the problem. In many cases, users will grow bored of Neopets.com as a whole and simply put their pets up for adoption before abandoning their accounts. Of course, you don't need to quit Neopets or even require additional space on your accounts to put your pets up for adoption. Some generous Neopians like to put their pets up for adoption just because they feel that somebody else will take care of them more than they already have. Others like to take pets out of the pound, paint them a pretty color, and then put them back up for adoption. If somebody has access to the Secret Laboratory and gets a nice color zap, they may want to put the pet up for adoption as well.

What is "applying" for a pet?
As I said before, people who put their pets "UFA" don't necessarily have to be cruel and uncaring. When somebody DOES care about who their unwanted pets go to, they may require you to fill out an application. An application (commonly abbreviated as "app") is an informative passage you write entirely on your own. In it, you say a little bit about yourself, describe your life on Neopets, and explain what your plans are for the pet you are applying for. The person whose pet is UFA (usually referred to as "the owner" or "a foster") usually receives a number of apps for their pet. They read through all of the apps and finally decide on who the new owner of their pet will be. The winning applicant obviously gets the pet. As for the not-so-successful applicants... better luck next time, I suppose!

How do I apply for a pet?
You first seek out a UFA pet that you like. Please pick a pet that you truly do wish to own! The owner of the pet you applied for won't like it if you reabandon it after a while or even trade it off! You can find hundreds of pets that are up for adoption in the Neopian Pound Boards. Once you've picked a pet, you can either submit a Neomail app or a Petpage app. A foster whose pet is UFA usually has a deadline, so if you take a several days to work on your application, it is wise to turn it in before the deadline. After the deadline, the foster reads through all of the applications they received and finally picks the one app they liked best. If that app is yours, you can adopt the pet! The owner will either transfer the pet to you or give it to you via the pound. It's usually a transfer, though.

What's a Neomail application?
Neomail apps are applications that are written and submitted in a Neomail. You are essentially messaging the foster your plans and intentions for their UFA pet. However, keep in mind that there are character limits in Neomails. If you have a lot to say, you will probably run out of room. In that case, you can mail the foster 2-3 Neomails containing your app. It's wise to paste the text onto a petpage if the app lasts for several Neomails. Neomail applications are suitable for short applications. If you have many things you want to say about your intentions for the pet you are applying for, you can try to submit a Petpage application instead.

What is a Petpage application?
A petpage application is an app that gets done on a petpage. Since petpages don't have a character limit, this method is better suited for very long applications that would otherwise take up more than a dozen Neomails. Since applicants have more space and virtually no limits when it comes to petpage applications, applicants like to show off their talents in their petpages. A petpage applicant might create stories or drawings of the UFA pet as examples of what they intend on doing with the pet. Petpages can also be coded to have nice layouts. However, petpage apps take much longer to do than Neomail apps.

What is better? A Neomail application or a Petpage application?
Usually, fosters don't have a preference for either (Although some might make it a rule that you can only submit Neomail applications. Fosters will NEVER require you to make a petpage application!) If you want your application to be short and to the point, you can submit a Neomail application. If you have talents and dedications that you wish to show to your foster, you can do a petpage application. Petpage applications take much longer to create, however. And just because you made the longest petpage app in the world, it does NOT mean that you will be the chosen applicant. So only do a petpage application if you can work for more than a few minutes on something and still accept possible failure. I, personally, have made both Neomail and Petpage apps over the years and I have been successful at some point with each one.

There is somebody on the Pound Boards who wants Neoboard Apps. What are those?
Exactly what they sound like. They are similar to Neomail apps, but you post them on the foster's Neoboard rather than message them to the foster. Fosters prefer Neoboard apps when they do not wish to be plagued with hundreds of Neomails, so you definably should NOT mail them unless they grant you permission. If you run out of characters whilst writing your Neoboard app, you can continue it in another post. Fosters who ask for board apps usually rehome their pet right away, so you don't have to worry about the board being deleted. However, just in case the board does get deleted, it is wise to back up your app on a petpage or in a word processor on your computer.

Any tips on applying for pets? How can I better my chances at being the winning applicant?
Always, always, always read the rules! Usually, a foster has some set of rules that all applicants must follow. For example, if you didn't read the rules and the foster states in the rules that she only wants Neomail applications, wouldn't it be a bummer if you worked your hardest on a petpage just to get rejected for not reading the rules? Fosters will consider your application highly if you at least obeyed the rules. And I recommend that you make your apps stand out from the rest in some way. Don't say and repeat the same things everyone else is doing! I strongly urge you to read through various Pet Application Guides to get an idea on what fosters want to see in apps. It truly does help if you do your research beforehand. If you really do want the pet you're applying for, you'll go the extra mile.

Can I adopt pets without applying for them?
Of course! There are plenty of pets up for grabs on both the Pound Boards and in the Neopian Pound itself. Just don't go adopting every pet in sight just because it's free. Make sure you actually want the pet. There might be somebody else who wants the pet more than you do!

What if I adopt a pet but don't want it anymore?
It's always best to either find and contact the previous owner of the pet to ask if they want it back (if you applied for it) or simply put it up for adoption all over again. There's always a third option: trading the pet for some other pet you might like. But this is very much frowned upon if you applied for the pet, so let's not do that. If you adopted the pet from the pound, you could always stick it back into the pound... poor thing...

Are there pets that I CAN'T adopt in any way?
Yes, a few select pets are deemed as "special" and cannot be adopted by some means. Magma pets cannot be adopted from the pound, because if you pound a Magma pet, it turns Red. Ice Bori are special because they were given away to users a long time ago by TNT for downloading the Neopets Toolbar. To keep the Ice Bori special, TNT has made it so that they turn Blue when you put them in the pound. If you want to adopt a Magma pet or an Ice Bori, the only way you can do this is if somebody transfers one to you. Lutaris are special, too. If you pound a Lutari of any color, it will disappear completely! The same with transferring. It is impossible to adopt or receive a Lutari Neopet from somebody else.

History of the Pound

The Neopian Pound was established and added to Neopets on June 30th, 2000. At first, it was managed by a character named Ms. Worley, but later on, good ole' Dr. Death took over.

Dr. Death (sometimes spelled as Dr_Death) is the Yellow Techo you see behind the Abandon door at the current Neopian Pound. He looks a bit unsettling, but that's because he's upset with the alarmingly high rate at which pets that are abandoned. According to his Neopedia article, Dr. Death was a doctor who always enjoyed helping out others. After taking over the Pound and seeing all of the sad faces of the innocent, abandoned Neopets over the years, he lost all hope and now gives pound goers a cold shoulder.

The Dr. Death Avatar

You can get Dr. Death's very own avatar by visiting the Neopian Pound's Abandon Page.
You don't have to actually abandon a pet to get the avatar!

In 2007, Neopets underwent a site revamp, and the Neopian Pound was closed down on April 26th so that it could be adjusted to work with Neopet's newest feature: customization. Even though it was closed down, users were still able to abandon their Neopets. It was impossible to adopt any, unfortunately. The Pound didn't come back until over a year later, reopening on April 30th, 2008. By now, the Transfer feature had been added, making it possible for users to send pets directly to other users without risking intervention by a random pound goer.

Between April 26th, 2007 and April 30th, 2008, thousands on top of thousands of pets had been abandoned. If you were to look up one of these pets, they might either be frozen or on an account called pound_release, which is owned by TNT. This is because TNT was in the process of slowly re-releasing these pets into the pound. Some of them are still frozen and have yet to be released.

With the new pound, pets that normally come with clothing (i.e. A Royal pet with its gowns and crowns; a basic Aisha with its collar) are unclothed and will not come with their clothes when pounded. In the past, clothed pets such these sometimes did not get transferred with their proper clothing: if you had a Desert Kougra and took off its Desert clothes just before transferring, the receiver would not receive the clothes and they would remain in your closet. This was eventually fixed. Two-way user-to-user trades were also implemented to avoid trading scams.

Today, we can currently abandon, transfer, or adopt pets. You can only abandon one pet per day for a fee of 250 Neopoints. Pets must be at least 7 days old to be transferred, and no one pet can be transferred twice in a day (if you transfer a pet from your main account to a side account, you can't transfer it to any other account until a day has passed).

Accounts that are younger than 4 months old can only adopt or receive the following types of pets via pound or transfer:
- Level 1 or 2 pets
- The basic colors (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow)
- Brown
- Checkered
- Glowing
- Invisible
- Orange
- Pink
- Purple
- Shadow
- Skunk
- Silver
- Speckled
- Split
- White
All other pets, including Limited Edition species (Chomby, Cybunny, Draik, Hissi, Jetsam, Kiko, Koi, Krawk, Poogle, Tonu) cannot be adopted by accounts that are less than 4 months old.

Originally, all accounts could only receive 1 transfer and send 1 transfer per month. This has since been adjusted. The number of transfers you can send and receive are now based upon your account's age.

Acounts that are 1 - 23 month(s) old get 1 In and Out transfer per month
Accounts that are 24 - 47 months old get 2 In and Out transfers per month
Accounts that are 48 - 71 months old get 3 In and Out transfers per month
Accounts that are 72 - 95 months old get 4 In and Out transfers per month
Accounts that are 96 - 119 months old get 5 In and Out transfers per month
Accounts that are 120 months or more get 6 In and Out transfers per month

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I list my pets in your directory?
A: Yes, as long as they are adopted pets, you may add them. Be sure to refer to the Add Your Pet page before mailing me.

Q: Are any of these pets up for adoption?
No, this is not an adoption agency. All of the pets listed here WERE up for adoption at some point, but are no longer, as they have already found a good home.

Q: I have some pets up for adoption. Could I advertise them in the directory?
A: Unfortunately, no. Again, this is not an adoption agency. This is a page for pets who have already been adopted, and we don't need to throw in some unhomed pets into the bunch to start confusing visitors.

Q: How many pets have you adopted?
A: Of my 19 permie pets, 10 of them are adopted. Some of them I adopted through Neomail apps, others were petpages, and a couple were from Neoboard apps. Allamyi - my Chocolate Aisha who is hosting this page - was adopted out to me by an amazing person. I did a Neoboard app for him.

Q: Other people put customization images on their petpage apps. How do I create a preview of the pet I'm applying for with the customization I have in mind?
A: There is a lovely site called Dress to Impress out there. You should Poogle it. It's not on Neopets.com, but it is safe, useful tool for creating previews and trying to dress up a pet you don't own yet with every wearable on Neo, NC included.

Q: Where can I find some adoption agencies?
The Neopian Pound boards are a good place to start. You can also visit some link directories. My favorite directory is Soroptimist. You can find many adoption agencies there.

Q: Did you make this layout?
A: Nope, not at all. I can't take any credit for it. I have adjusted some things to suit the site theme, but if you want a layout like this one, check out That Kills Me.

Q: I put my Yellow Ixi UFA but nobody applied for it. Why not?
A: Well, people on the Pound Boards won't want to adopt a basic pet if they can just create one themselves. People prefer to apply for painted pets and Limited Edition species because they are difficult to obtain and can't simply be created at the Create a Neopet page. The only way somebody would apply for a basic non-LE pet is if the pet has a rare name, such as a RW or a RN. A RW (real word) is a pet name that is an actual word in the dictionary (i.e. A pet named Hope, Beauty, Imperial, etc.). A RN (real name) is a pet whose name is quite common in the real world (i.e. A pet named Bill, Angela, Carlos). Basically, people won't want to apply for a pet and keep it forever unless it is rare in some way. That's the sad truth.

Q: What's a "dream pet" or a "dreamie"? What's a "permie"?
A: First of all, a permie is just a short way to say "permanent pet". Basically, if your Neopet is your permie, you're not going to trade it or put it up for adoption. You intend on keeping it forever. Dreamies and Dream Pets are both the same thing; Dreamie is just an abbreviation of Dream Pet. Dream pets are simply pets that somebody really likes and hopes to achieve someday. So if you really, really, really like Royal Lupes and your goal is to someday own one, a Royal Lupe is your dreamie.

Q: I keep applying for my dreamie, but I am never the winning applicant! Why is that?
A: Competition and rarity. If your dream pet is a pet that is really popular, chances are, you're not the only one whose goal it is to someday own it. Often, fosters receive dozens of applications for their pets, if the pet is really popular. If the UFA pet is a Draik, Krawk, or UC (unconverted pet; a UC pet is one that cannot be customized with clothing and still uses the old Neopets art from before the site changes. They are no longer attainable and are extremely rare. They are very popular as dream pets.) fosters can receive literally hundreds of applications, as Draiks, Krawks, and UCs are incredibly hard to obtain. If you are competing against a hundred applicants, the odds of you being the winning applicant is very slim. My only suggestion is for you to closely study and observe techniques used by successful applicants and try to mimic them. Don't flat out copy anybody, though. That is plagiarism, which is a reportable offense. Read up on many app-making guides, too.

Q: My application got rejected, and I worked really hard on it!
A: Chances are, you didn't read the rules set up by the owner of the pet you were applying for. Also, fosters don't want to hear the same old "I will feed the pet, play with it, draw it, etc." over and over again. If you put this in your app, you need to be more original, unfortunately. Again, I suggest reading through some of the Pound Boards' successful apps and reading some app-making guides.

Q: I finished my app, but I want some feedback on it before I submit it.
A: The people on the Neopian Pound Boards are always willing to rate applications. Just start your own board or post a link to your app on somebody else's "rating" board to get your app judged, rated, and perhaps receive some suggestions. I am also willing to rate apps; just mail me and I will try to rate you as fairly as possible.

Q: Can we be Neofriends?
A: Yes, I do accept random Neofriend requests... But I must warn you, my account your_freedom can be inactive, as I only come here to update the directory. If you ever do want to chat, you may message me. I'm nice enough, but I'm too shy to ever message you myself. I don't want to be a bother. You can also request jaylanna and Aviecat, my more active accounts.

Q: My question is not here!
A: I try to answer all questions to the best of my abilities. You can contact me on your_freedom with any directory- or adoption-related questions you might have.

About This Category

Does your pet fall into this category?

Adopted pets are pets that you applied for in some way. Basically, if the previous owner of the pet said "this pet is UFA" and you did more than just say "interested!", your pet probably falls under the Adopted category. Whether you received this pet through the pound or transfer does not matter.

A few qualities that Adopted pets might have...
- You applied or submitted something for the pet
- The owner might have had a few rules to follow
- Other people were interested in the pet, but the owner had to choose just one person
- You knew what the pet was in advance; it wasn't a "guessing game". Therefore, you applied because you wanted the pet
- The owner had to judge all interested applicants in some way and you had to wait to hear the decision.

These are just some simple guidelines and suggestions. If some of these apply to your pet but you feel that it belongs in another category, you can decide what category your pet qualifies for on your own.

Happily Rehomed

You should show it off with a button on your pet's lookup.

Species A - E

Lucy1091 the Mutant Acara Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
Nickname: Lucia
How did you get this pet?: Was able to adopt her after a quick 4-piece neomail app. I felt quite accomplished since it was one of the first times I have created an application before. To think my measly neomail was able to convince the foster more than those lovely petpages? ;___; Ahhhh.. It's crazy to think about it.

Ranjini_12 the Purple Acara Owned By: Charlai (13germandames)
How did you get this pet?: I saw that Yellow Acara picture at the Money Tree, and fell in love with Acaras. I found Ranjini in the pound after that and adopted her, a red Acara. (Might've adopted her after I already created an Acara.)

Allamyi the Chocolate Aisha Owned By: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nicknames: Al, Allam, Amyi
How did you get this pet?: A Chocolate Aisha has been a huge dreamie of mine. I came up with a wonderful story for one, but I could never seem to trade up for one. I was thrilled when I saw that Allamyi was UFVQA on a Neoboard. I submitted a Neoboard app that lasted from 3-4 posts, outlining his story plans. I was granted the honor to adopt him come the following month. :)
About Al: Al is a mischievous mage from a planet that rivals Neopia. He plays the piccolo, and he loves nothing more than goofing off, wreaking havoc, and nomming on chocolate. :)

Ceapra the Maraquan Aisha Owned by: gwensflower1152
How did you get this pet?: I fell in love with her name and was fortunate enough to adopt her. :)

Dahrek the Halloween Aisha Owned by: _____melissa13____
Nickname: Rek
How did you get this pet?: Adopted

Ilisidi the Alien Aisha Owned By: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nicknames: Sid, Siddy
How did you get this pet?: Oh, I've wanted a cute little Alien of my very own for such a long time. They are amongst my favorite pets. I applied for Ilisidi here, and was overjoyed when I was chosen to adopt him!
About Sid: He's a power-hungry child who's fighting for total control of the universe. What he doesn't know is that the world as he knows it is all a lie, and he's really just stuck inside of a dream. I have many other characters for him as well, but this is his main story. c:

Xlyc the Baby Aisha Owned By: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nicknames: X, Slick
How did you get this pet?: I happened upon this little cutie when he was UFQA on the PC. Everything about him was so perfect, and he fit a certain character idea I had in mind to a T! I was planning on doing a Neomail app, but ended up doing a short petpage. I was so happy to receive him come the following month!
About Xlyc: He's a cute little kitten whom I've given many diverse characters to. I love to doodle him (even though I'm not very good at it...), and I look forward to hopefully roleplaying him someday!

miss_ladyslipper the Baby Blumaroo Owned By: AJ (twilightnewmoon116)
Nickname: Missle
How did you get this pet?: I first saw Missle UFA when visiting a Baby UFT/A board when I first started visiting the PC. I was obsessed with babies, but at first, Missle didn't appeal to me. But after seeing her around so much, I decided I'd apply. A very kind person named Luna chose me to adopt her and she shall stay with me forever.

Kyrren the Plushie Bori Owned By: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nicknames: Ren, Bumble-Berry, Berry
How did you get this pet?: I'd been seeking either a Faerie or a Royal Girl Bori UFA for a certain character of mine for a few days, but when I happened upon Kyrren, something about her just clicked. I really didn't think I was going to get her (only 10 days to do a petpage app!), but even though my app was unfinished by the time the deadline passed, I was chosen to become her new owner! I was stoked. x)
About Ren: She was once a high-ranking Priestess in a previous life, but now her soul floats freely across the land. She usually takes possession of a doll named Bumble-Berry.

Omubaly the Chocolate Bori Owned By: Eugenia (silverpurpledust)
Nickname: Omi
How did you get this pet?: I saw Omubaly being up for adoption along with the pet that my friend was going to apply to. Sadly, I was going out of town, so had no time to apply... But when I came back, I asked owner of the pet to give me a bit of time and made up a cool petpage application for Omi for two days! I was in hurry, heh. And now she's a part of my family ^_^
About Omi: You can still find my application for her here.

Moranlay the Mutant Bruce Owned by: _____melissa13____
Nickname: Lay
How did you get this pet?: Adopted

wierd_1 the UC Mutant Buzz Owned By: Abby (0range_Luver)
Nickname: Rye
How did you get this pet?: I debated over applying for Rye for a while. Most of my neofriends didn't understand why I wanted to, but I knew I had to apply for him. I don't have a particular love for UC Mutants, but when I saw Rye UFA his character just popped into my head. From there it was as simple as writing his story, adding a few drawings, planning and customizing his lookup, and obsessively adding little touches to his app until I sent it in. After a week of waiting, I came home to find a neomail informing me that I was Rye's new owner, and I was overjoyed!! Though most people don't understand why I was so excited to adopt him, he'll always be special to me ^^
About Rye: Rye used to be a bad boy, a motorcycle rider without a care in the world. Then his hobby got to be too expensive, so he joined the rat race to pay for his passion. Unfortunately, that's when the real trouble started...

Sunallor the Darigan Cybunny Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
Nickname: Allor

Lavazia the Magma Draik Owned By: Qorkie
How did you get this pet?: I had been applying for draiks, trying to get one for so long, to apply my character concepts, and finally, decided to forget being nervous and went all out despite being rejected before. It turned out really well and my app shone through to the foster.

Grakd the Baby Hissi Owned by: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nicknames: Graddy, Grad
How did you get this pet?: Saw a "Baby Custom UFA" board on the PC where the foster was going to paint and give somebody their dream baby. I decided to give it a shot because 1.) Baby Hissis are my dreamies, and 2.) I really needed a certain character for this story that I'm coming up with. I ended up with Graddy, and I love him to bits. ^^
About Grad: He's a pickpocket, scheming, casino tycoon in my story. His personal symbol is a spade, and he loves Jazz music because I adopted him at a time when I myself was inexplicably in love with Jazz. xD

Ziochii the Island Jetsam Owned by: Plagge / Dan (asia1214)
Nickname: Zio
How did you get this pet?: I've wanted an Island Jetsam ever since I've started playing. It was one of my two dream pets, other than a UC Dari Draik(hah, I can dream :3) Once I saw him UFA, it was love at first sight. I adopted him over 2 years ago and spent hours on his application. I missed a homework assignment or two working on it, but I haven't regretted it for a second.
About Zio: I've recent gotten back from a long hiatus, so I'm still in the process of writing his story and figuring out a character for him.

Species K - O

Tziami the Red Kacheek Owned by: Maranda (jaylana)
How did you get this pet?: I actually had a recently-Boochified Kacheek that I wanted to paint red for a character in a story of mine, but when I saw Tziami's name, I fell in love with it. It sounded so perfect and full of character. After gifting my Boochied Kacheek to somebody else, I applied for Tziami and I was chosen to adopt him before I was even finished with my app!
About Tziami: I adopted him as a Faerie Kacheek, but I repainted him Red with permission from his awesome previous owner. :) He's the first of my pets to have more than one story to his name, and he plays the violin. C'mon, NC Mall! Give us a violin wearable already!

Later, when gathered people were chatting, they told us their account with pets being ufqa.

Femm the Water Kyrii Owned by: Amarashi
How did you get this pet?: I was applying for Femm knowing she was very tentatively ufa and her owner might keep her. It was pas the deadline and I didn' t got any message from her, so I though she was going to keep her.

Tenjui the Halloween Ruki Owned By: Vinny (tenmakenji)
Nickname: Ten
How did you get this pet?: I had fostered in myself an intense longing for a ruki, and had planned out the customization so that it would only fit with a halloween or christmas ruki. Then I started searching. I happened upon Sylvie's board, and when I saw Ten, I knew I had to go for it. I pushed myself to draw her, to explore her personality as well as Raymonda's, and eventually it all turned out for the best, as I was able to take her home on May 3rd!
About Ten: Ten's petpage

Katertier the White Shoyru Owned by: Kat (fire_earth_aqua__77)
How did you get this pet?: I adopted her her from someone who I am now very good friends with on neo. She was a faerie Shoyru, but the owner was perfectly okay with my painting her royal.
About Katertier: Katertier is my Princess of Darkness. She roams in the darkness, only appearing when she is needed. Is she good or bad? No one knows. Hopefully I can get her character up soon. Shes been through a bunch of color changes cause of boochi, so shes now white instead of the royal I painted her.

Nashtariel the Magma Uni Owned by: Micheala (picksy95)

oOXiionOo the Royal Boy Uni Owned by: Micheala (picksy95)
Nickname: Xiion
How did you get this pet?: I got Xiion from a quick adopt board. He was the first pet I ever did a pound transfer for =) It was one of the post your dream pet. I had applied for three RB Unis before getting him, so I was super happy to catch him =D

Parcifal the Usuki Boy Usul Owned By: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nickname: Par
How did you get this pet?: I posted on a Neoboard that one of my dreamies was a Usukiboy Usul. A kind stranger mailed me the following day, informing me about a Usuki Boy Usul who was UFA (I will always be grateful to them...). I applied for Parcifal and went all-out with the app. Took me forever to make. I nearly fainted when I was the chosen applicant. Jinjer, thank you so much for helping me accomplish my dream. ;~;
About Par: Quite possibly my biggest dreamie. I like to just stare at him sometimes. xD As far as characters go, Parcifal is a poet from a distant planet, and he also plays the cello. I like to write poetry for him and sometimes *attempt* to draw him. xD On a side note, Parcifal is a misspelling of Parsifal (You've heard the term "Holy Grail", right? Well look up either Parsifal (the Opera) or Percival (the character).)

Nate_r65 the Camouflage Wocky Owned By: Charlai (poinsettia_aster)
How did you get this pet?: Just looking through the pound. (Found him as a green wocky.)

Earwiin the Brown Xweetok Owned by: Maranda (jaylanna)
How did you get this pet?: Came up with an awesome character one day, and I figured that a Brown Xwee would suit the part perfectly. Unfortunately, my first attempt to adopt a Brown Xwee via Neoboard app kinda bombarded. Whilst trying again and applying for Earwiin, I found that I liked him a lot more, so I doubled the effort in my app. I was happy to adopt him from an awesome person. ^^
About Earwiin: He's an inventor who's had a mysterious past and likes to be to himself. As a skilled computer hacker and programmer, he's invented a sort of Super Computer, as well as his own version of the internet. He secretly likes pretty things~

Fyorany the Desert Xweetok Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
Nickname: Ora
How did you get this pet?: A simple 4-piece neomail application. I had sudden inspiration for her character. She remains as one of my most developed characters and has been a part of several roleplays since. Fyorany is one of my favorites^^

Nickname: Zam

Seherin the Water Yurble Owned by: Kirbi (toadrocks12)
Nickname: Cyrano
How did you get this pet?: I found Seherin while I was lurking the PC boards. He was put up as UFQA and the new owner had to have a transfer ready that day. I've always wanted to have a water yurble as they have been a dream pet of mine since I came back from my hiatus. During the summer, I had an opportunity to adopt one, but I was too late as someone else was interested in him. This was sort of like my only chance because I don't have any pets that I could trade for one. So I applied with a board post app, and within a few minutes, I adopted him!

Jekkali the Chocolate Yurble Owned by: Kirbi (the_beatles_55)
Nickname: Jacques
How did you get this pet?: Jacques was UFA and I didn't want to apply for him at first, but since his name was stuck in my head for a while, and he was adorable, so I decided to apply for him! I made a petpage application for him and was finally chosen to adopt him on January 8th, 2012!
About Jaques: Jacques was born in Neopian Paris, NeoFrance, and moved here to Neopia Central when he was a child. He and his dandan, Fraise currently own Le Patisserie Chocolat de Jacques! (Translation: Jacque's Chocolate Pastry Shop!)

About This Category

Does your pet fall into this category?

If you got your pet from the pound and it was not transferred to you, your pet could fall under this category.

A few qualities that Pounded pets might have...
- You had no idea the pet was in the pound prior to adopting it
- You did not submit anything to the previous owner of the pet in order to adopt it
- The pet was "stuck" in the pound and you were given the name by the previous owner or somebody else
- If you adopted the pet from the pound to use as a "lab rat" and the pet ended up being zapped into something you wanted to keep, the pet can still fall under this category, even if you were originally zapping to trade it or put it up for adoption

About Mercury_heights: Mercury_heights loves climbing cliffs which is why her middle name is heights

Lornea the Mutant Grundo Owned By: underground_sanatori
How did you get this pet?: It took me some time to come up with a perfect name for a new pet character I had in mind and I was disappointed to see the name was already taken. But to my great joy and surprise Lornea was simply sitting in the pound and waiting for me to take her home ;-) I morphed her into a mutant grundo myself.
About Lornea: She is huge, green, strong and loves dressing up in girly clothes. Thus, she became my BC princess. If you wish to find out more about her, visit her petpage.

Seedwood the Robot Grundo Owned By: Vinny (tenmakenji)
Nickname: Ed
How did you get this pet?: Once upon a time, someone was advertising Seedwood as a basic up for trade, but I had nothing to offer. I hung my head and shuffled away from the board. Later, I saw another board with a similar name, and mentioned my lost love. Well, some kind soul listening to me happened to look Seedwood up and BAM! She was an uncased robot grundo in the pound! -scoop and bring home- Happily ever after.

Species K - O

Ghendra the Electric Kougra Owned By: Jess (Darklady__22)
How did you get this pet?: About 2/3 years ago surfing the pound. She is my first ever painted pet.

MachV the Skunk Kyrii Owned by: Count (count_and_monsters)
How did you get this pet?: I was just pound surfing in search of WN labrats and impulsed MachV. Then, I just couldn't let him go =)
About MachV: Mischevious, self-centered and easily irritated. But I still love him anyway.

Pretzaal the Blue Kyrii Owned by: Adelia (leellah)

About Pretzaal: I'm painting him Royal soon.

_xChibi the Christmas Lupe Owned by: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nickname: Chibi
How did you get this pet?: Surfed the pound for the first time since it reopened. Chibi was one of the first pets I saw (as well as my first "painted" pet). I kept her for some time, and I suppose she just grew on me.
About Chibi: I've had Chibi for more than 5 years. She was the first pet I ever tried to draw (and fail miserably at...), first one I ever made up a story for, my first roleplayer, etc. Even though she's technically not my first pet, I definably see her as mine.

evonity the Rainbow Uni Owned by: Micheala (Picksy95)
Nickname: Nity
How did you get this pet?: I was simply pound surfing when I saw Nity. I love Unis and thought she was super cute and would make a good character. She is like the little sister of my herd.

Likii the Plushie Uni Owned by: Micheala (Picksy95)
How did you get this pet?: I got Likii from the pound as a Green Uni. Then after zapping for a time, I 'held' him in the pound as he got stuck. I got a FFQ on my side account and quickly readopted him and painted him plushie =)

Anna803 the Snow Xweetok Owned by: Librarian (Supergirl1057)
Nickname: Anna
How did you get this pet?: I rarely have characters and pets click, usually it takes a while and a lot of work to form a character around a pet I have. Anna's just clicked for me. She was sick when she was in the pound, she'd been in there for a very long time and something about her said that she wasn't a normal xweetok. You see Anna is blind, has been for almost her entire life. What little she can remember of colors is blurred and tainted with the stain of her old owner. When she came to live her I had to adjust to having a blind pet just like she had to adjust to having a [very thick] owner. But even after all this time I would not part with her for the world. She is everything to me on here.

Sollon the Brown Xweetok Owned by: Eugenia (silverpurpledust)
Nicknames: The Dark Minstrel, Darky
How did you get this pet?: My friend came up with a great custom for minstrel xweetok. I needed a pirate, desert or brown xwee to make it up, but I couldn't find any males =( So, lost any hope, I browsed a search engine to look for stuck in the pound mutant pets, when I suddenly noticed "brown xweetok". Sol was in the pound, great named, male and perfect coloured! I grabbed him as fast as I could and jumped across the room excited ^_^
About Darky: He is a part of middleages story. A minstrel who used to travel with random neopets, causing them troubles just for fun and extra adventures. =)

Dreams_To_Flames the Baby Zafara Owned by: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nickname: Riley
How did you get this pet?: Somebody on the PC gifted me a Baby Paint Brush after I listed a Baby Zafara as my dream pet on a board. c: I then went to the Lost and Pound website, found Dreams_To_Flames as a Green Zaffy, and painted him Baby. I luffs him to bits!
About Riley: He dresses up like a bumble bee. All the time. Riley is a very secretive character, and his past is a mystery.

Tifi the Mutant Acara Owned by: Amarashi
How did you get this pet?: I' ve been looking for a mutant acara since they were released. One day I' ve got a FFQ, and of course, I was going to finally make one, but... my greatest neofriend had draik she wanted to paint pirate for crosspainting. So I offered her I' ll use my FFQ on her pet, as it was much harder goal to achieve. Few months later, as a B- Day gift she transferred Tifi to me.

Eleia the Eventide Aisha Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
How did you get this pet?: She was gifted to me by a friend Ashley who found out that I adored Shadow Aishas. I fell inlove with her name. Eleia was a Shadow for quite some time until I was lucky enough to get an FFQ to paint her eventide^^

Jenove the Royal Girl Aisha Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
How did you get this pet?: Jenove was a custom made possible thanks to Larka. She one day, neomailed me saying that her pretty chocolate kacheek was UFT. But not for one of her dreamies, for one mine. ;____;

Zhekuu the Pirate Aisha Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
How did you get this pet?: Before the deflation of the pirate pets, my bestfriend Jojo told me she was trading her plushie gnorbu for me. I've always adored the Pirate Aishas. And wham! Zhekuu was sent to me in a matter of 2 weeks.
About Zhekuu: Zhekuu is, so far, my most developed character^^ Her design is very dear to me as I had a blast creating it. Her petpage has the most stuff too.

How did you get this pet?: I wanted a trans blum SO bad when they came out, and one person noticed and decided to gift me him c:

Tskari the Grey Cybunny Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
How did you get this pet?: She was given to me when I posted interest in a dreamie gifting board. She's quite the fellow seeing as I had the most horrid time coming up with a character for her.

Routen the Royal Boy Draik Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
Nickname: Rue
How did you get this pet?: I posted a little blurb on my lookup saying that I shall be saving for a female RB Draik (I thought they were absolutely GORGEOUS for the longest time.) My friend Larka immediately started saving. In a matter of a month, another friend Jen asked me if I would like to own Routen, a pirate draik she had acquired. Larka then sent over a royal paintbrush and Routen was painted to who she is today. Her design and story speak to me in a different way than my other pets. I still cannot believe I was so lucky to have such lovely friends.

Seriphelia the Faerie Draik Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
Nickname: Seri
How did you get this pet?: Oh gosh the beautiful Draik ;___; My friend Sev is known by me to be the Draik Queen. She has like 439843 of them D: I would always compliment her and tell her how wonderful her pets are and how great it is that she works so hard to maintain them^^ Out of nowhere, she sent me a Pirate Draik Egg and a Faerie PB. Seriphelia is one of my most favorite characters. Her design is special to me seeing as it is somewhat of a reincarnation of Xeisu, my mutant draik that was pounded due to a hacker. I adore her to pieces. And this time, nobody. Especially not a stupid idiotic piece of horse fail hacker will take Seri away D:

Species F - J

Tiitus the Maractite Hissi Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)

Otohime the Royal Girl Kyrii Owned by: Aerynn (scarlet_melody14)
How did you get this pet?: Otohime was a very very very VERY lucky board adopt. The owner was quitting and didn't want any apps. They were going to choose completely out of random. I entered simply to gain a chance, but I didn't think I was literally going to be chosen. RG Kyriis were my main dreams back then. I was absolutely ecstatic the moment I received wonderful Hime~ I drew her like crazy. GAH.

Mathyz the Swamp Gas Techo Owned By: Vinny (tenmakenji)
Nickname: Math
How did you get this pet?: Once upon a time I really wanted a Swamp Gas Techo. I searched to find everyone with one and neomailed them as to what they'd be seeking if the techos were UFT, but I honestly had nothing to offer (as always~). It just so happens that I ended up making friends with one such owner on a board on day (-waves to friend!!-) and she asked if I'd like Mathyz. UH DUH~ Then happily ever after with my will-o-the-wisp~

Jodikinos the Ghost Xweetok Owned by: Maranda (jaylanna)
Nickname: Jodi
How did you get this pet?: I was talking to a random stranger on the Neoboards. Always the type to compliment as a first impression, I told them that I liked their Ghost Xweetok. They said "Really? Then you can have her. I don't want her." That was over three years ago, almost four. Jodi has not left my sight since.
About Jodi: Jodi is a spiteful spirit who haunts hallways and eerie places. She was never able to get revenge on the people who killed her and her parents, so she unleashes her anger on unsuspecting mortals, whilst protecting her sole surviving family member: her brother, Iri.

How did you get this pet?: My best friend traded himand wanted to keep, but couldn't come up with a nice character. She just didn't feel close to this pet. So, she wanted to trade him away, but I feel sorry for the little xwee, so she gifted him to me =) How he will get all the treatment he deserves. He's now waiting for my side account to age so I can transfer him there =)
About xWake: He is a villain in my story. A vampire demon, who serves to a dark lord. He is too lazy, though, so he is not of much help to his master.

How did you get this pet?: Someone in the guild I'm in asked if anybody wanted a Faerie Zafara. I said I'd take her if nobody else wanted her, and she gave her to me!

O HAI! I... I mean... greetings. Welcome to my homepage! It may be an adopted pet directory, but it's still my page. I'm letting Maranda manage her little directory thing under my name just because she looked like she really wanted to pull this together. (Oh, but it would have helped if she had told me that her sense of style was severely lacking beforehand... Just look at this place... *cringe*) I've always wanted my own homepage, but now that there's this directory thing going on here, I suppose I'll have to step aside. I'm so selfless. Fortunately, Maranda has set up a few sections that are all dedicated to me. Not what I was expecting, but better than nothing, I guess. Sometimes we have to make do with what we have. Of course, I'm used to having much more than what I need, so this is all very new to me. If you're not busy or anything, you should definably take the time to learn more about me: a cute little Chocolate Aisha. I'm sure you've got the time. You're... in Neopia. Just being here suggests that you're willing to waste your time. You won't be wasting your time as you read about me, though. TRUST* me!
* You probably shouldn't trust him.

About Al

So, if you'll look up there at the URL of this page, you can see that this directory is hosted on Allamyi's petpage. I felt like my cute little cocoa cat deserved his own little section of the web just because I luff him so much. So I created 4 areas for him to have pretty little content written about him. This is stuff that I'm sure you'll probably ignore, so if you lack any interest in Allamyi, please continue to look at everything else we have to offer here at Welcome Home! This is primarily for my enjoyment. :P

Before I jump right into talking about my adorable cocoa Aisha, let me tell you how things came to be...

Chronicles of a Kitty who wants a Chocolate Kitty
Episode I - Opportunity Knocked Twice and I was too Lazy to Answer the Door

I have this thing going on with all of my permie pets... Their stories all intertwine to create one big Main Story, in which they all interact with each other and... stuff. There was one particular character that I really, really wanted to have in the story. Unfortunately, I didn't have a Neopet to fill in the part. So I went to the Rainbow Pool... and saw this.

lol, weren't expecting this, were you?

I decided that I wanted a Plushie Aisha immediately. Unfortunately, I did not know how popular they were on the PC. Seriously. Everyone and their grandma wants a Plushie Aisha, converted and unconverted. I knew that I was in for a challenge.

Purge comes around. I purge a name that I've been stalking for a long time. It is the name of a character from my all-time favorite anime. I'm not sure what I want to do with said name... so it tentatively goes UFT. Eventually, somebody comes around and offers a slew of amazing pets on the anime RN: 3L Maraquan Uni, Faerie Cybunny, CHOCOLATE AISHA, and some Robo or Mutant pet. I take the Faerie Cybunny.

Opportunity knocked once.

I grow bored of the Faerie Cybunny and put it UFT. Somebody offers a Chocolate Aisha. I reject, because my mind is still set towards trading up for a Plushie Aisha.

And then opportunity knocked no more.

Chronicles of a Kitty who wants a Chocolate Kitty
Episode II - Realization

A good friend of mine, knowing all about my endeavors to obtain a squishy ploosh kitty, points me towards a certain UFA Plushie Aisha, whose name I will not state to keep privacy intact. A little overwhelmed, I begin applying for said Plushie Aisha. I center the application around the character I originally intended to have in the story of my permies.

I begin formulating a good petpage application.

Everything is going spiffy.

Suddenly... I realize... I don't want a Plushie Aisha... (or at least not for this particular character). Sure, Plush Aishas are nice and everything, but this character that I loved so much.. it did not seem to suit a Plushie Aisha. But you know what it did suit?

A Chocolate Aisha. Dangit.

Chronicles of a Kitty who wants a Chocolate Kitty
Episode III - Opportunity Gives the Cold Shoulder

Well, for all of the Chocolate Aisha offers I received prior to actually WANTING ONE, I got zero offers when I began seeking. After dropping out of the application process for Xxxxx the Plushie Aisha, I took my Faerie Bunny and feebly tried to win me some offers. Guess what? LOL, NAO THE PC ALSO WANTS CHOCOLATE AISHAS. I feel like everybody's hunting them down. As for those who actually do have Chocolate Aishas, they expect nothing short of a Royal custom in return. Madness. I eventually trade for a 5L pronounceable Chocolate Gnorbu. Still, no luck. Not even the worse-named Chocolate Aishas will swap for my offer.

Let's just say that I never was able to trade for that desired Chocolate Aisha. On the bright side, I was able to trade up for a clothed RB Kacheek. His clothing is currently worn by Tziami, my adorable Red Kacheek. So some good came out of that.

Chronicles of a Kitty who wants a Chocolate Kitty
Episode IV - Opportunity: The Return

I was pretty close to giving up on my Chocolate Aisha goal, too. I eventually saw myself growing increasingly picky with what Chocolate Aishas I was offering on, too. I didn't want any old cocoa kitty. I even ignored the ones I saw UFA. I felt like none of them were the right one for my character.

I then saw Allamyi UFQA.

Well, actually, I saw "Chocolate Aisha UFQA". I clicked on the board to go see if this Chocolate Kitty was the one who could only be known as the Chosen One.

One glimpse at his name and BAM. Love at first sight. So I poured my heart and soul into the 3-4 posts it took me to outline his plans and my own Neo bio (with a Neoboard pen, mind you :U). I actually wanted to do nothing short of a petpage app. But, y'know, rules are rules. I honestly don't feel comfortable with Neoboard apps.

I had completely bitten off the nails on all my fingers when Allamyi's owner said she'd be mailing her chosen applicants (if I remember it correctly, she also had a Spotted Lupe UFQA). I refreshed immediately after reading over her post...

TO BE CONTINUED

...Just kidding. You already know how that turned out. :D

Today

If there's one pet who's slowly pushing me back towards roleplaying, it's Allamyi. Allamyi (sometimes Al) is a pet who's primarily inspired me to start rounding up an Aisha herd. I like (attempting) to draw him, and since his personality is so fun to play around with, I sometimes either write quick sketches of scenes with him in them, and I'm also leaning towards terminating my roleplaying hiatus just to see how he'll interact with others (and vice versa~). However, I sort of forgot how the ritual of roleplaying goes, so nobody send me Neomails for 1x1 just yet, k? I need to lurk moar. Al has agreed to be a host for my Adopted Pets Directory, since it will draw more people to *his* homepage. He thanks you just for visiting his abode. ^^

That about does it for Allamyi the Neopet. If you want to know more about Allamyi as a character, you can check out his profile!

Species: Aisha
Race: Concertian
Birthplace: Frigid Heights, Zero Alps, Concertia
Current Residence: Pivotal City, Concertia
Occupation: Food critic, Conductor, priest
Abilities: Understands the Language of Music, Mage, and, for some reason, he has the ability to control chocolate...
Eye Color: Green (not a pretty green, sadly. More of a swampy green)
Distinguishing features: His body is made entirely out of chocolate. He looks like he simply has brown fur from a distance, however.
Musical Instrument: Piccolo
Approach: Comes off as respectful, starts acting childish the longer you're around him
Habits: Talks loudly when excited (it's not a good idea to share a really good secret with him while in public), drinks beverages with pinky sticking out
Hobbies: Composing music, sampling and critiquing food
Sense of Style: Flashy and elegant
Good Points: Caring, happy-go-lucky, friendly, cheerful, polite
Negative Traits: Childish, conceited, gullible, bratty, pompous
Description: Allamyi comes from a world called Concertia, which is not only very similar to Neopia, but is also a neighboring planet. Concertia was created by a certain group of gods, and the language that these gods speak is the Language of Music. All forms of music have a special meaning behind them, and to communicate with the Concertian gods, one must play the correct piece of music to do so. Unfortunately, music is a difficult language to master, and not even the most learned scholar can grasp its most basic components. Allamyi is the only inhabitant of Concertia who can understand the Language of Music. Not because he's a genius or anything. To be frank, Allamyi is a tad shallow-minded. Rather, he was gifted the ability to understand the Language of Music by the gods themselves... for whatever reason. "Fate," he claims. Since his heart is so close with the gods now, Allamyi has become a sort of priest in Concertia. When he's not meditating in the temples, he's off exploring Concertia... goofing off. This, as the Concertians say amongst themselves, is a child not worthy of having such a wondrous gift. When war begins to simmer between the peaceful Concertians and the willful Neopians, they will be proven wrong by this childish chocolate connoisseur.

This... is where Al gathers all of the pretty things he sees around Neopia so that he can nom on them later. All of these cute little cocoa cats were made by people far more epic than me.
