Dim-lit Night

Not many may know about me... but that's because I don't usually like to be known. My name is Grover Bloom, Private Eye. I manage a detective branch of the Defenders of Neopia. Not many know about us because we like to work on the sly. If you've found your way this far, though, I trust you to listen and keep any secrets revealed to you...

About Me

I, honestly, would never have picked the life of a detective. It was something I was just fortunate to happen across earlier on in my life. It all started with the arrival of a certain little girl into my life - but I won't spoil the story here.

Eventually, I managed to obtain a grant from the Defenders of Neopia to form a Detective Service in their name. I'll admit, I had my doubts as to whether it would work or not, but thing have really been going well so far. I can only hope that they will keep going in the right direction.

Likes/Dislikes

Likes Mysteries A good detective story Science Law Stunjelly
	Dislikes Crooks/thieves Slow days on the job Babysitting Arguing with Alan Loudmouths Getting dirt on my suit

My Stories

I have very few stories up at the moment. For the time, you can read the ones I have - we will hopefully add more once they happen :)

My Family

These are the people in my immediate family. They are the ones I care the most about and I would do anything to protect them.

Rose is what I like to call my "founder". After all, it was she who really encouraged me to pursue detective work in the first place! She's always been very supportive of me and has been there to help if I ever really need it. I suppose I'm really grateful for that.

Alan is technically my older brother. However, our species age differently and I've grown a lot faster than he has. He's never given up on the idea that someday he'll be in a famous rock band... while I wish him luck with it, I would like to see him focus more on studies than aimless wishes.

Romani is my younger sister. She recently left us to move to Maraqua. While I miss her terribly, I know that she'll be safe there - and she has so much more for her there than we could have ever given her on land.

Ainad is my youngest sister. She's grown into quite the respectable young lady - I'm very proud of her. She doesn't live with us any more, but we still get to see her from time to time.

Petpet

Teddee is the best sidekick a detective could ask for. He's very good at keeping secrets and he's such a nice help when it comes to spying... no one would ever suspect a Walking Carpet of being a spy, don't you think? I'm really blessed to have him. He was a gift from my Aunt Beater when I was very young so we have been together for a very long time.

My Collections

I've managed to collect several things over the years. Fortunately, an old friend of mine has volunteered to watch them for me. What do I have, you ask? Well, I have a tendancy to collect any Blumaroo, Walking Carpet, or detective-themed items as well as camouflage and Jazzmosis items.

Want to see my collection? Click on the magnifying glass below to see all of the items I've collected so far.

Also, if you'd like to send something to me that I don't already have, just send it to 'purplepadfoot' and Rose will put your name on my Petpage. Some of the items are priced in an italic number following its name. Items marked "UB" are unbuyable. The following people have contributed to my collection:

Fanart

This is my collection of images that have been drawn for me. It's taken a lot to preserve these and display them for you, so please DO NOT use them. They are for me and the artist who made them, no one else. If we find anyone using these images, we will make sure you are frozen. Many thanks to the talented artists that have drawn for me! That being said, enjoy my Fanarts!

Adoptables

I know I've published a few detective stories - It's nice to see that these Blumaroos have managed to get themselves a copy!

Do not alter these images in any way. Do not remove the word "Grover", do not change the colors, etc.

Do not steal these images for use in the Beauty Contest, Art Gallery, etc. I will find you, and you will be punished if you do so.

These Adoptables are only available for adoption through this page. If you find anyone else with a site that lets you adopt one of these images there, please let me know.

I will never open Custom Requests. Sorry, but my life is too busy for me to randomly make customs for whoever wants one. I will, however, open trades from time to time. Click on the "Trades" link below to see if they are open or not.

Though I won't take custom requests, I WILL take color requests. If there is an official Neopets color that I haven't made yet and that you would like me to make, Neomail me and let me know! Chances are, I haven't gotten around to making it, but knowing that someone wants it will put it on the top of the list and I will finish it faster :)

To adopt a Blumaroo, copy the code provided beneath it. Copy the code EXACTLY and don't alter that code in any way!

If you are interested in trading customs with me, please read the "Trade Rules" listed at the bottom of the Adoptable box by clicking "Trades" below.

Trades

Custom Trades are currently OPEN

So you've made it this far, have you? Still interested in trading customs with me? Well, my Blumaroos are pretty tough customs to make so I have a few rules that you must read before Neomailing me a trade request. Keep in mind, I have been doing Adoptable trades for years. I have learned from several bad experiences that it's best if I make a lot of requirements before I trade. I hope you can understand that.

From the time our trade "begins" we each have ONE WEEK to make the trade for the other. That means I expect my custom from you by then. However, I will allow you more time if you need it (for whatever reason) - just ask politely and keep me updated on your progress. We can work something out, I'm sure. :) I've had trouble in the past where I've been cheated out of trades because people conveniently forget or don't pay me back. I'd like to avoid that... This also means that I give you my word that yours will be finished within the same amount of time. If it isn't, then your custom is either free, or you will get any other custom free of charge to make up for me taking too long.

You MUST provide me with a full reference picture. I will NOT make customs from descriptions. I eyedropper your images to match the colors exactly - I need an image to do that.

Be polite. If you follow all of my rules but are rude to me, then I have any and all right to refuse you. 'Please' and 'thank you' do more than you may think. Respect me and I will respect you in return.

I will only trade for full-bodied Blumaroo Adoptables! This means your adoptable must be Blumaroo-shaped and it must be a full body. Not just a head, not just half-a-Blumaroo, the whole thing. My adoptables are full-bodied, so I'd like to trade for a full-bodied adopt in return.

I will provide an "Adoptable Trade Request Form" below. Copy that exactly and Neomail it to me to start a trade. If you do not follow this rule, then I will ignore your Neomail.

This goes without saying, but any trades with me will be trading for customs of my Blumaroo, Grover07 (nickname: Grover). His ref pic can be found here:
http://www.deviantart.com/view/25243292/ Every detail to his design can be seen on there - if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

It's always a good idea to save any custom I make for you to your own computer. There's no telling when my server will go down - this way you'll always have it. If you upload it to your own server, please be sure that you still link it back to Grover's page.

If you have any questions about my trades, please don't be afraid to Neomail me and ask. Trust me, it's better to ask a simple question than to royally mess up and annoy me later on ;) Make sure you include the species/set that you are talking about, though, so I know which one (I have a lot or adoptable sets, so I need for you to be specific!)

Okay... I think I've covered everything. If I haven't scared you away yet AND if you've read all of the rules twice you may now Neomail me with the Adoptable form.

Pet's Full Name and Nickname:

Pet's Species:

Pet's Full Picture Reference:

Where will you use your new custom?

Example of the Adoptable set you will be trading with:

Where should I link your adoptable back to? (provide actual link)

Have you read all of my rules and will you swear to follow them?

Thank you for considering a trade with me :) I hope you will be happy with your new pixel Blumaroo!

Retired

If you're looking for our other set of Blumaroo Adoptables, it's been retired. However, they are still available for Adoption if you'd like! You can get to them by following the link below the Adoptable from that set:

http://www.-blocked-/groveradopts/

My Customs

I only have three customs at the moment, but I'm also looking for regular Camouflage Blumaroo Adoptables to fill the space. If you see any that I don't know about, please Neomail me and tell me about them!

Roleplay

So you'd like to Roleplay with Grover, huh? Well, great! But don't think you're going anywhere right away, there are a few things that I want to get across before you Neomail me. Most of what I'm about to tell you can be clarified more in Grover's F.A.Q.s, My F.A.Q.s, and at Igan's RP Guide.

Before you decide on a pet that you want to meet Grover, there are a few things to keep in mind. First off, just because we RP them, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll become best friends or mates or whatever so don't count on it. We are RPing solely to introduce our pets. Whether they become friends/enemies/whatever is up to how they react to each other - nothing is guaranteed. If you just want to RP so your female Blumaroo can use Grover as a status symbol, FORGET IT. The same goes for art - I rarely draw fanart and, when I do, it's either for my sisters or it's for friends I've had for years. So if you're RPing with me just to get free art/adoptables - find another sucker-artist to pester.

There are a few things that you should know about Grover before you decide to RP with him. Now, just because I'm going to share these with you doesn't necessarily mean that your pet knows them. For instance, Grover is very dedicated to his work and can often be seen as a work-a-holic. This kind of prevents him from having any serious relationships - though he would be interested if the opportunity ever came along. He's very polite and courteous when he's not on his one-track mystery-solving mindset. He's always willing to take on new cases or to collaborate to solve one. His petpet is one of his main sources of information as a spy - Grover is very fond of Teddee. Grover was involved in a chemical accident that caused his skin color to malfunction - now his skin color can change between shades of blue at random and on command. Grover likes to meet other employees of the Defenders. To learn more about Grover, see him in 'action', and read more into his history, be sure to check out his Story Section!

Now, if you think you have a pet that might get along (or clash - because opposites/rivalries are really fun too), read Grover's F.A.Q.s, check my Lookup to see if RPs with Grover are open, and then go ahead and drop me a Neomail! Be sure to tell me which one of my pets you want to RP with, tell me which one of your pets you want to use and any important info about them. I want to be sure that they are compatible with Grover (whether positive/friendly or negative/enemy). I'm also open to 'cluster RPing' too x) If you want to RP your family with the Purplepadfoot family (Ainad [sometimes], Alan, Romani, and Grover) - that could be a lot of fun, too! Do keep in mind though, that if you want Grover to solve a case, you shouldn't already have it planned out. If you want to RP with me, we will write it as we go - I don't want to follow a mystery that you've already scripted... that's no fun for me! Once I think our pets could have a good RP, I'll usually say something like "Okay, why don't you send an intro." You can start RPing with your next Neomail.

Don't worry about being super-formal, because it doesn't really matter to me. I do prefer the Story-style over Chat-Style (refer to my RP Guide if you don't know what that means), but I will follow whichever mode you are most comfortable with :) Do be warned, though, if I get bored or if things just aren't working out, I'll either seriously slow replies or I'll just stop replying altogether. I also go through 'busy periods' where I may only reply once a week. This is normal for me so don't Neomail me saying "omg howcome you haven't replied, it's been like four days!!!" :p

Thank you for reading all of that - I look forward to RPing with you. I'm sorry there's so much to be said on this subject, but I've had a lot of bad experiences in the past - everything from people using my characters for popularity to people using me for free art. I'm just trying to avoid these things from happening any more than they have to :)

F.A.Q.s

Please read these before Neomailing my owner... she gets very picky about that...

The following questions are specific to Grover. For all of my F.A.Q.s, general to all of my pets/accounts/everything you'd want to know, please check Brenda's Page :)

Grover-Specific Questions

Wow!! Camouflage!!
That's right! ;D Now you can even look Grover up to get a Secret Avatar! (Approx. PB cost- 750K. I got it while it was fairly new, but someone had one really discounted. I was going to paint him on Blumaroo Day when it was released {August 8, 2005}, but TNT forgot to activate the PB right away xD So I finally got to paint him on the 10th xD So he's one of (if not the) first Camo Blumaroos in Neopia!)

Can my pet date Grover??
Grover's usually very busy with work, but he loves meeting ladies - especially Blumaroo ladies ;) He's always open for Role-play unless I say so otherwise on my lookup. In the meantime, however, your pet is more than welcome to join the Bloom Girls x) (Please read the FAQ question regarding RPing on Brenda's Page, read Grover's section on "Roleplay" {above}, and check my lookup before Neomailing me to RP)

Can Grover be friends with my Blumaroo/Pet??
Well, I guess that'd really depend on if they had anything in common. Otherwise, there isn't much of a point, is there? And I won't "friend" anyone without RPing first. (Please read the FAQ question regarding RPing on Brenda's Page, read Grover's section on "Roleplay" {above}, and check my lookup before Neomailing me to RP)

Can I draw a picture for Grover?
Yeeeey!! ^^ Of course you may!! We love getting fanart!

What is a 'Bloom Girl'?
Bloom Girls are fangirls (or just admirers!) of Grover. Back when he had his old page, I kept a list of girls that fangirled him and joined is circle of Bloom Girls. The idea is kind of based off of James Bond and the Bond Girls x33 You can check out his Bloom Girls Section to learn more about it or sign up to join!! Each member gets a special "member number" ;D

What do the Bloom Girls do!?
Actually... nothing ^^; Right now people can just sign up and put their name on the list, but we've never done anything more than that. It would be kind of fun if Bloom Girls met in "meetings" or anything xD Or if Grover threw fan-club get-togethers... that's something I may consider in the future if there's enough interest!

Thanks for reading! If you have any other ideas or further questions related to or about Grover that I should add on here, feel free to Neomail me!

Bloom Girls

A long time ago, we hosted a section on my page for "Bloom Girls". What's a Bloom Girl? Well, they're fans of mine, actually. Anyone who fans me, fans my page, etc. is welcome to be a Bloom Girl! All you have to do is put one of the buttons below somewhere on Neopets (on your lookup, petpage, shop) and Neomail me the link to where it is. If you are a human, your link can be anywhere, but if you are a Neopet, your link should be on your lookup or petpage :) Be sure to include the applicant's full name and species as well (i.e. human, Blumaroo, Acara, etc.) Oh, and guys can apply too :) I have no problem with being fanboyed - as long as he has no problem being called a Bloom Girl! I'll add your name below to my list of "Registered" Bloom Girls once I see where you've put the button!

Also, keep in mind that anyone can be a Bloom Girl! It doesn't matter what species you are - I've got fans from all species! So take a button, display it with pride, and Neomail us where you've put it!

Pet Spotlight 9xCHAMPION!!!	Site Spotlight 3xCHAMPION!!!
Petpet Spotlight CHAMPION!!!

2/20/04 Congratulations Demtiri the Tonu, they have just won the Pet Spotlight award.
This was one of Rose's Spotlight entries that she thought was sure to be a big hit. Tiri is a very cute character - and he told a good story! At the time, he was the youngest of Rose's pets to win the Spotlight! He would later be beaten in that category by both Cazal and Vyala.

1/28/05 The final Pet Spotlight award of the week has been given to a Kacheek called Brenda913.
Rose was very excited when Brenda won, because she thought it was one of her better-written and most creative spotlights :) She had also painted Brenda just for the occasion and was glad she got to show off her brand new color to the entire world!

5/5/05 BabyRomani and Grasshopper should be extremely happy today. They have just won the latest Site Spotlight award.
Our first Site Spotlight - and a big surprise at that! We entered Romani's site months before they awarded her! But the news was right, they were very happy about winning! We also thought it was pretty nice of them to credit Grasshopper for the win, too.

11/29/05 Crooks and thieves best steer clear of Grover07, the latest Site Spotlight winner.
We originally entered me for the Site Spotlight in August for Blumaroo Day... boy were we surprised when my name showed up in the news almost 4 months later! It had been so long that I had even been painted - and my Spotlight picture was outdated!

12/20/05 Gaze to the Future with magirose and Vyala, the latest Site Spotlight winners.
Vyala once again claims her title as Rose's most successful pet! She's also the second to win both Pet and Site Spotlights! We were very surprised when she won the Site Spotlight as we couldn't even remember entering her! She got a lot of nice publicity, though - it's nice to see such an underappreciated species so well-represented.

1/18/06 Teddee the Walking Carpet is quite proud to have won the Petpet Spotlight.
Our first Petpet Spotlight!! And my own Teddee, too! He won exactly a week after we entered him and was even featured on Anubis day... leaving us all feeling a little guilty that it wasn't an Anubis who had won that day. I'm very proud of him.
