Welcome guest to the application for Rilkayne. =D This is crystal_mimi here
Have a look around and feel free to enjoy my art and senseless stuff I wrote here. This is my first application I ever made so feel free to tell me, if you have any ideas to improve it ^^. I know lots of things are different like in other apps but I tried to be a bit original and not to make an app like everybody else.

If I would be chosen for Rilkayne's new owner, he will go to my side account side_crystal_mimi. (yes the transfer of that account is open for October XD)

btw... ALL the artwork on this page is made by me and is made especially for this app. I decided NOT to ask for special fanart because as an artist, who loves being on the BC boards, I KNOW how annoying it is, when people just keep asking for artwork for their application. Why? Because when the artist puts a lot of work into a fanart it's not an achievement of the person, who made the application and therefore it doesn't make him a better owner. That's not really fair for the artist AND the other application makers. It should be far enough if there is LESS fanart but only of the future owner himself/herself (or just take some non-custom adoptables, makeables and premades, which are easy and free to get, if people can't draw) :P
But maybe that's only my opinion ^^'''

I made the coding myself with the help from this page. Just you know.

I admit that my html is still not THE BEST... I try to avoid css as much as I can so my lookup/shop is a mess XD But I'm trying to make this app look as nice as I can anyway ^^

About crystal_mimi

I thought I should start with this. Well... I'm side_crystal_mimi but people are used to call me just Mimi or crystal. So call me whatever you like ^^''' I'm 18 years old, I have Dutch nationality and I live in south Germany. I really want to apologise right now already, for all my spelling and grammar mistakes D: It's no problem for me to understand English and to express, what I want, but I still make a lot of detail mistakes in the language, I guess (like grammar and spelling). In addition the meepits made my typo this bad... BLAME THE MEEPITS! *lol* Of course I tried the spellchecker but it's always a bit confused (It always switches itself to German spelling, which is useless of course)

this account is my main (and will most likely stay my main). I have also 3 active side accounts with other pets. side_crystal_mimi, crystal_mimierva, and crystalhunter_mimi.
In addition I have 1 lab account with only temporary pets: crystal_mims

In real life I'm an 18 year old student. Not really special I guess. I just go to school every day and I hope that it's over soon *lol* Right now I have to work hard for my final exams already so I'll be busy for a while ^^ I guess more interesting is the stuff I do in my free time. My main hobbies are doing Ju-Jutsu (fighting sport... yay ^^), playing video games, reading, watching movies and listening to music of all kinds. I just like to turn off my mind by doing that ^^ It's a great distraction from daily life and in addition gives me so much inspiration for stories and characters. Well.. I guess I'm really a bit of a dreamer but I like to express my creativity here on neo then. I made most of my pets for example after I got my inspiration from such stuff (mainly from movies and from books). When you read their stories you can try to guess what may have been the inspiration ^^


My main passion right now is drawing. Well... as you can maybe see from my drawing style I love the anime and manga style. When I was 10 I really fell in love with those cute, big-eyed characters. After that manga fascinated me because they could tell quite emotional stories. It made me want to draw myself but I realised soon that it's not that easy. For a long time my drawings really all turned out horrible. Since 2 years I've been drawing more seriously but I guess I'll never be a super-duper-amazing artist like some other people here on neo. Well... since I've been here I've made a lot of progress, though. So who knows how my pictures will look like in the future =D



I've been on neo for about 6 years now. I was introduced to it by a cousin of mine, when I was 12. I just watched him playing some games and I was really jealous because I wanted such cute little pixel pets as well. *lol*

In my first 3 or 4 years on neo, I wasn't really active anyway. I started giving my pets personalities quite fast, which gave me motivation to log on every day, but I was like an eternal newbie and I didn't know, how to get such pretty things as Paintbrushes or even much NP XD

Anyway... The reason, why I became more involved here on neo, was most likely the Beauty Contest about one and a half year ago. It gave me lots of inspiration to work more on my drawings and especially on my neopets. I found lots of neo friends there and it really helped my drawing progress. The other big inspiration for me was taa, when I met her in the BC. She's one of the most amazing neo artists I know and her petpage of Kihanni was the major impulse, which made me want to work on my petpages and stories even more.

I've never been completely frozen by the way... yet ^^'''. I was once temporary frozen because of a misunderstanding not too long ago. They said I gave out my password to someone, who promised me items, neopoints or other stuff. Of course that was not true and I got my account back a few mails from TNT later. ^^


Right now only one of my pets has a petpage online_ .. You can visit it on neo_magic_flower's petpage. (click here) That's because my uni has been the first pet of mine with a real design. Don't worry, though. I already have stories for my other pets already so I hope their petpages will be up soon, as well. (I just have to stop being lazy and start drawing more again on unique designs...)

Laziness is probably my biggest problem overall. It's not hard for me to start making stories and stuff but it's hard for me to start and FINISH a big drawing or even a petpage... well... At least I finished this app more or less in time... yay me! It seems like I always need some motivation boost to work seriously on my pages XD

I'd like to say that I'm not a RPer... I made some bad experience because some neofriends got angry at me while doing RP so I'm a bit scared off XD Maybe I'll try again someday..

crystal's neogoals

I have lots of neogoals right now :3 First I want to make designs for each of my pets, which matches their personalities (which I already made for them). Of course designs aren't necessary but I think designs (even simple ones) always make pets unique on neo. In addition, I like entering my pictures in the BC and a nice design is always good to stand out from the competition.
Once the design and artwork is done I want to finish some appealing petpages for them. I want all of their stories to be connected a bit so it's fun to read all of their stories and learn about their personalities (you can see on this page's "other pets" section, what I mean). :P Some story chapters may have the same content that way but it's written from a different point of view every time. ^^ Right now there is no petpage with a story up, yet. Because it's connected I have to be careful that it makes sense so I'll write it once I have all my characters together XD


During this period I also want to paint all of my pets in a matching PB colour. Since I'm really slow at saving up it could take a while, though *lol* I get my NP the old fashion way: with games and dailies... and because I don't want to play games hours a day I just stick with 15k to 20k a day and I wait until I have enough in the end XD

even if I would ever be finished painting my pets with PBs and finish their petpages, I will start reading more books to my peophin Fasuy. She's read over 250 books already XD By that time I hope more decent customizing stuff is released so I can make my pets make more outstanding. When I STILL have NP left I would spend more NP on training my pets (especially my BD pet Lasuy.

Of course I'll keep entering the BC... it's always a challenge to make a new picture, which people would like to vote for.

Anyway.. I guess I'll find new stuff to do anyway. There is always something to do on neo :)

Why Rilkayne

Yeah... I guess you really might wonder why I apply for Rilkayne. Well... I've wanted to apply for a desert pet for a long time already. I have a lot of pets already (and I still have ideas for more pets) but it'll take AGES to paint them all. That's why I want to try to adopt one or two =D I really wanted to thank you here for giving us the opportunity btw. (^^/)

I want to make Rilk part of the major neopet spirits on my side_crystal_mimi account. First you might think: "What on earth (or neopia) is a MAJOR SPIRIT?!" It's a small group of neopets I invented. ^^ The pets have special (mainly elemental) powers and are immortal and don't age. It's unknown where those powers come from. Some have it since birth and others get it mainly by environmental changes. Rumours say, the faeries give them to chosen pets, others say it's a divine fate and other say it's a weird kind of mutation. No one knows. Only thing sure is that they have high influence on their environment and on the community of the other pets (because they are often treated as Leaders or Kings because of their experience).
You might also think now: "Oh no... I don't like Rilkayne to be on a side account because crystal won't care for him anyway on that account. Most of the pets on that account aren't even painted". But that's definitely not true. I like all my pets just as much. Yes, I even feed my side accounts' pets, too *lol* It's just that my main account pets are my oldest pets and have been painted before I actually got the idea making a big story and connection with other pets. ^^ (as you can see are my side accounts very young in general)

Of course there are thousands of desert pets UFA. So why do I want Rilkayne? I admit that I was first looking for a random pet UFA. But there wasn't really someone that had the desert pet which looked like the personality I was looking for (most desert pets more look like Egyptian workers then ruler or just a bit weird ^^'''). Then I saw Rilkayne UFA in an adoption agency. I just thought: wow! That's what exactly how I want my character to look like. I think the original design made by TNT of the desert Hissi is almost perfect already for the character I was thinking of. The desert hissi looks most of all desert pet like some kind of "Pharaoh" and therefore like a ruler or king. In addition it's great to have some symbolism in his species because snakes had some very high spiritual influence in old Egypt. Did you know that cobras were a symbol of wisdom and power of the old kings and gods and at the same time the people believed that cobras protected them from evil? :3
I became really addicted with Desert Hissis while making this app that I will only try to get another Hissi even if you would reject me (Of course I hope you won't, though ^^''')
In addition I really love Rilkayne's name. I know it doesn't look Egyptian, how I wanted it to be but it really like the sound of it. It sounds like a bit of personality is hiding behind it ^^. I think it sounds a bit like someone, who has wealth and lots of power... just like I wanted Rilkayne to be. Or is it just me thinking that? XD

Now to the maybe MORE important question... why should I get Rilkayne. Well... Of course I could give reasons like "I'll love him forever and ever" but I think that would be really unoriginal XD
Infact, I've seen 2 other applications for Rilkayne already, who most likely would deserve him as well.

First of all I'll stick around for a looong time. My main is 6 years already after all.. so it's very unlikely that I'll stop neo in the next few weeks ;) Neo won't get rid of me that easily *lol*
Another reason would be, I'm an honest person. There are thousands of people claiming in application: "I'll BC this pet every week in the future." Both of us know, this will most likely NOT happen ^^''' But I have full proof that I entered in the BC before and I was successful with 7 trophies. It's not really important in the BC to enter every week anyway but if you have enough ambition to make people love your art and pets (I'm quite over-ambitious when I enter *lol*). Since the BC is one of the major reasons I stay here on neo I'll go on entering my pets for a long time. So if I say, I WILL enter a pet I WILL. Of course I can't enter every week, though. It's very hard to advertise enough all week so I always keep some breaks between entries. Until now my side account pets don't have much BC trophies, yet, because side accounts weren't allowed for a long time but I want to change that soon. Because Rilkayne is now one of my pets with a design (even if it's a quite simple one) he'll certainly be entered, if I'd get him ^^

Of course I'll give him a nice petpage like I plan with all my other pets. I think I'm the first person, who connected this much pets in one story connection this complicated. Of course it'll take a lot of time but I feel that it's going to be great and I definitely would like Rilkayne to be part of it. ^^ When people will like it they will start linking it to others and make it more popular.
Maybe Rilkayne will be a bit famous in the future ^^'''
You may say now... almost none of the petpages is online_ .. so how should you know, I will do that in the future? I may be a lazy person but soon, when the major part of my exams are done I will have more time and I'll work like crazy ;)

If he's lucky, Rilkayne might get into the art gallery or NT some day. Well... I hope my drawings and comics will be good enough for that soon ;)
(TNT never thought so until now ;___;)

Will I customize him? Most likely not... sorry about that ^^''' I'm not that into it because most of the buyable clothes are very expensive or just don't match my pets like I want them to. Some neomall clothes are pretty but I'm not really willing to spend real money on such stuff ^^'''
most likely I will buy a background for him but I can't guarantee for more ^^''

For last details I would give him a new petpet: a Kepru. They seem very cheerful so I think it would be a great addition to Rilkayne's personality.
Alright.... giving a petpet isn't a great reason to make me a good owner...but it's nice for Rilkayne maybe ^^'''

by the way... this may not be important for you, but I think it would be nice to assure you that I would NEVER EVER trade Rilkayne away. I never traded a pet before and I'm not up to do that some day. Alright... I admit I tried it once but the other people just didn't have the pets I would really like DX. So I don't think pet trading is a good way to get peoples' dream pets (Or I'm just too picky).
Instead of having my pets UFT I put them UFA. I think it's a lot of fun to zap pounded pets and give them to a nice new home after that :3 Of course there are a lot of people doing that already but, when I see the pound boards I see that there can never be enough people doing that ^^ Right now I have a red meerca and a blue Ogrin UFA (They are still being zapped by the lab ray :P). So yeah... XD

About Rilkayne's design

I made a mistake and on this reference picture he looks a bit too short... just look on the background picture, how long I want him to be :P (Don't read next paragraph, if you're not interested in hieroglyphics XD)

On his back are blue hieroglyphics instead of the blue dots like on the original neopets picture. You can see a more detailed version all over the page as paragraph header (like above this paragraph ^^). What it means? It's his wonderful name: Rilkayne... I'm too unoriginal to get him a super mega fancy word on his back XD Literally the symbols actually say Rirkadjra. I had to improvise a bit because those stupid Egyptians don't have an L or the letter Y. Not even a good pronounced E (like in "Hey") DX. Anyway... the first letter (that mouth sign) is the letter R, the i is that reed (?) sign and for the L, which is actually not existent I took that mouth sign again. The syllable ka is that basket looking (?) symbol, which isn't very common, but it also means soul or spirit, which I like a lot. That symbol IN that basket is a cobra hieroglyph which stand for the letter J (pronounced dj). I thought that would be the best replacement or the Y since Rilkayne is very cobra like after all XD. The last syllable I used is Ra. Of course I could've used NA or something like that, but the symbol for RA is also the symbol for the sun, which I liked also :3
You may ask yourself, why I arranged the symbols this weird. Some are bigger some smaller. In fact the Egyptians themselves arranged the symbols how it looked the nicest. So I wanted to try that, too XD

You see... I had to research a lot in the internet because of that name... yay me XD

You might wonder now as well, what's written on the obelisk (the Egyptian pillar) on the background picture. It says "This app is by crystal Mimi". Original, huh? XD Nobody will dare to steal it now XD

I guess this should clear up a lot about his personality already. Now a bit about his past and a "small" summary of his plot XD It's still under construction. If it's not completely done, when you read this, I'm sooo sorry ^^''' anyway...

Rilkayne is the oldest of the major spirits, who is discovered (he therefore didn't have any connection to any other pets at the beginning), and never met his real parents. He came out of an egg lying single and hidden in the warm desert sand. In his childhood he tried to find his parents but he gave up quite fast. He just accepted the fact, he was alone. Instead while travelling through the desert he soon found out he had special powers to control the sand. He could compress it to sculptures (later even to buildings), use it as a weapon or could summon sandstorms to drive away others, when he felt harmed. When time passed he also realised he was the only one, who never aged. The other pets around him were born, got older and died after a set period but Rilkayne stayed always the same. He survived several generations without aging a day. He gave up looking for friends since they would die soon enough anyway. At the beginning he saw it as a curse but that attitude changed as he saw that it's a huge advantage in the struggle for life in the desert. He was willing to sacrifice everyone as long as he stayed alive. The stronger pet always has more right to live. It's a principle of life. At the same time he developed some kind of a "napoleon-complex". well... Rilkayne's "long" but other pets often didn't acknowledge him because he barely sticks out from the ground (he's some kind of snake after all). To make more impression he therefore tries to make him more noticeable by spreading his neck skin all the time and to emblaze himself with the most expensive gold, lapis lazuli and gems. To show of his power he conquered his own oasis (which he only did to show power... he HATES water) and expelled all other pets nearby with his sandstorms and made his own sand residence: a huge pyramid with a red ruby eye symbol on it. During this period his loneliness seemed to grow, which created a hollow feeling in Rilkayne. His only companions were the small colonies of Keprus, who lived at his oasis. He loved the cheerful character of this creatures and he kept always one Kepru with him in the Pyramid called "Nephthys". Once the one "Nephthys" died another one took its place, which ended in a cycle just to help Rilkayne to get over his loneliness.

One day, about 100 years after Rilkayne began to isolate himself the desert nomads got in big trouble. Many oases dried out and water became very valuable. Most pets in the desert were about to die at that time. A tribe of kyrii nomads decided to ask Rilkayne for allowance to settle his Oasis for a short amount of time although they knew, Rilkayne never shared his recourses. Instead they found about Rilkayne's love for expensive stones and presents and traded their last water for rubies and other gifts to offer him.
Rilkayne was sceptic at first but he seemed to enjoy the thought that others begged him so much and he sensed the opportunity to gain even more power. He agreed under a few conditions. He wished to have full control and reign over the new founded village and over the inhabitants. In addition every villager had to give a percentage of sacrifices to him every month with food, gems or gold. The nomads agreed, since they knew it may be the last chance to survive. They put up their nomad tents near the oasis and tried to make their living with a bit of farming. To get the sacrifices Rilkayne was demanding, they started trading their wares, which were still very precious in the time of famine and drought. The villagers soon got more wealth as they could offer Rilkayne and became quite rich themselves.
First Rilkayne wasn't very happy about to see that. He thought, only He had the right to have jewels and gold. In fact the wealth of the village lured countless people but the villagers became quite greedy themselves and refused to let the new people settle. This is, where Rilkayne took over control, he saw yet another chance to raise his power, to create a village full of elite warriors and scholars. He decided to let everyone come at his sphinx in his pyramid to receive a riddle or test. That test included a lot of wit to understand it, strength to obtain it and sometimes travels to look for a certain rare item. Those, who couldn't solve the riddle, were cast out of the village until they could solve it.
Most of half his village was expelled in that time but the ones, who could stay could live in more wealth and richness then before. They began to praise and worship Rilkayne for his wise decision and Rilkayne seemed to enjoy it. They kept it as a tradition that everyone, who wants to join the village, has to fulfil the task and every child, who was born in the village, was to fulfil the task as well, when they turned 14. This was the official beginning of the "salamandri village".

This small village of warriors became quite famous in neopia. People all over the world began to admire Rilkayne's powers and adored him... just like Rilkayne always wanted.

Oh? Are you STILL reading guest? hehe...

One day rumours began to spread, that someone had appeared with the same power as Rilkayne. A wocky from the boarder to haunted woods had power to summon Thunderstorms and lightning. Rilkayne got worried... will that wocky try to take over his power? never! He gave out the message that he'll meet that wocky at the boarder of the Lost desert to the Haunted woods. Indeed that wocky "xtzu" came to oppose him. The arrogant and cocky wocky didn't have respect for Rilkayne at all. She even gave Rilkayne stupid and childish nicknames like "Rilk" or "kay kay". Rilkayne became furious and a fight was unleashed. They fought about 3 days and at the end they were lying exhausted in the sand. Rilkayne ordered the wocky never to enter his desert, because it'll always stay his domain. That wocky agreed with a phony smile. Since then "xtzu" likes to walk along the boarder to demonstrate that Rilkayne doesn't have any power at all over her and Rilk can't do anything about it.

Another 50 or 100 years passed (counting years is useless anyway, when you're immortal ^^'' ) until a strange creature, who most likely doesn't come from this planet broke down near the village... Rilkayne became quite interested in that creature and sent out some of his warriors to bring this creature to him. This creature turned out to be a grundo, who lost his memory and was badly wounded. Rilkayne interest rose and he let the grundo heal up in his village. The grundo showed its greatest gratitude to Rilkayne and offerd to be his companion and bodyguard. Rilkayne didn't see any sense in that first but he agreed. He was very loyal to Rilkayne and for the first time Rilkayne had the feeling to feel attached to someone as a friend. He even gave the grundo parts of his fortune and the sacrifices he got from the villagers. the Grundo's memory slowly came back. He could remember that his name is "Lapratti" and he did come from another indeed.. but he didn't know, why he travelled to this planet. The more Lapratti tried to think about it the more he suddenly began to panic. Rilkayne ordered some of his scholars to look for Lapratti's past to help him. The scholars found out that the mother planet of Lapratii has been completely destroyed not too long ago and that Lapratti only barely survived it.
Rilkayne tried to explain it to Lapratti now but Lapratti suddenly turned quite aggressive. He said that Rilkayne is a liar and it's not true. Out of a sudden Lapratti started to rampage the village and started to talk weird senseless stuff. Rilkayne first wanted to talk to him but in the end he agreed to ban Lapratti from the salamandri village. Since then he's roaming the world saying confused and schizophrenic things.

Rilkayne's story

I wanted to write here the first really out written chapter of Rilkayne's story... but I don't have any more time to finish it... I'm soo sorry DX I admit... I'm lazy right now but do you REALLY want to read MORE about Rilkayne's plot anyway? The main structure should be explained enough already *lol* Well... I'll leave it like this and I'll write it out for his own petpage (if I'd get him) ^^

About my other pets

Well... In total I have 14 permanent pets right now (and 2 UFA). Yeah... that's A LOT XD But I love them all with the personality I gave them :3 I sometimes feel like they all represent a part from me *lol*
oh... btw... I created and painted almost all of them myself. The only exception is xtzu and Lapratti. I got xtzu as a blue wocky from surfing the pound at random and painted her myself electric after that. I found Lapratti in an adoption agency... ^^ (I was lucky to get him without application)

Well... I guess I'll tell about every pet a bit on this page (yay... lots to read XD). The plots are still under major construction (since I still have to make it more logical) so they may still change a bit in progress.
I'll start with the pets, which are most important to Rilkayne's plot (I guess that makes sense O___o)

Lapratti
He says, he's a maraquan-cheerleader-cyborg-zombie-ninja-pirate. Some people think, he's a weird type of genius and others simply think he's simply insane. Only thing sure is that he only barely survived the apocalypse of another planet a long time ago and never really recovered from that experience.
When Lapratti's spaceship came down to neopia and Rilkayne decided to look after him for a while. They were good friends until Lapratti turned completely insane and schizophrenic.

Lasuy
Lasuy, a kyrii, who can't express his feelings, is one of the descendants of the salamandri village Rilkayne founded. In order to gain honour for the village (like it's tradition), Rilkayne gave him the task to get a secret Weapon, which combines strength, cleverness, beauty and wit. After one year of searching, he's still clueless, but he refuses to give up, because he wants to prove himself to Rilkayne, he admires so much. First he joined forces with Fasuy to learn to control his temper. He didn't want other to join at first but Fasuy insisted because she thought it would be a great lesson for Lasuy to control his temper. Always, when Fasuy is not looking, though, he starts picking on the naive Magic_flower.

Ainetad
Ainetad, another kyrii, is Lasuy's big brother and therefore, he's from the salamandri village as well. He was sent on a journey 3 years before Lasuy, to look for a path over the ocean wit only a hand full of sand. Because of his Laziness he never really tried to look for the answer to this riddle, though, and when he met Dranas, the son of a shipwright, he gave up on his journey completely and decided to join Dranas' odyssey. He still admires Rilkayne, though, and holds on to the jar of sand from his home desert and wants to help Lasuy to finish his task.
_Keren_happuch_
She's the young major spirit of Space, which has power over gravity. She gained her power by touching a mysterious meteor. This has already been predicted in her tribe's Prophecy and ever since she's been treated special by her tribe and is called "the chosen". She never really liked to be treated special, though, and she couldn't even get along with her sisters "star_sisterneo" and "Jeminan". When she turned 12 years old she decided to leave her tribe to find a place, where she could be "normal".
Her loving character makes her the only major spirit, who Rilkayne accepts in his territory, although she doesn't have her powers since her birth.

Xtzu
The major spirit of lightning and thunderstorm. Rilkayne and Xtzu seem to shun because they instantly get into a fight, when they meet. Rilkayne doesn't accept Xtzu because she didn't have the major spirit powers since her birth and he claims that she is a fake. In reality they both have a too big ego to get along. Xtzu is like Rilkayne quite arrogant but in addition she is short-tempered and quite violent. That may be related with her past, when she was poor and had to suffer hunger and a lot of degradation.

Jerrania
No one knows her true intentions. It's sure that she was a thief and robber in the past. Once she robbed an Item from the underwater temple from the peophin colony and has been cursed by the priests of that temple Ever since everything she touches will die or is doomed to live in misery.
Jerrania once devastated Rilkayne and tries to bring unfortune over his village as well. Thanks to Rilkayne's powers he could expel her from his desert before she could do any harm, though.

--------------
The other pets don't have anything to do with Rilkayne's plot itself but to the others (He can't know everyone... It's not his fault they don't come to his desert. duh!). In order to understand the characters above I think it's important to list them here :P
--------------

Euray
She's the major sprit of the ocean and the corals since birth, which gives her the powers to let corals grow wherever she likes and manipulate all kind of streams and waves. She has an adventurous and playful character and a crush on Dranas. she knows, they'll never get together but she still tries to be together with him, as much, as she can.
This is the only major spirit Rilkayne will never meet. Why? Because Rilkayne hates water and Euray can't come up on the shore ;)

Fasuy
A very intelligent peophin girl, who was cast out by her colony because she went to the forbidden underwater temple. She looks for a way to let the colony join her again but that isn't too easy since she knows that the rules are strict.
She likes to listen to stories from others about their life. She seems to be the only one, who's feeling comfortable with jerrania and other ghosts like cuniden. She joined forces with Lasuy as she knows that she lacks fighting skills to protect herself from people, who bully her. She agrees to let Magic_flower and Starsis join later on to form the "aimers"

Cuniden
He was once member of a rich family, which held their field workers under horrible conditions. The field workers formed a pack and overthrew cuniden's family. During this process, he was killed, while he was playing the piano out of grief over such violence. People say they still hear his piano out of the mansion every night playing a melancholic song. Only few pets have contact to him, like Fasuy (and later the other "aimers") and jerrania.

Magi / magic_flower
A small naive uni from faerieland. Since she met _Keren_happuch_ she's determined to become a major spirit as well in order to help other pets in need. When she met with Lasuy and Fasuy she decided to leave her home to gain more experience and to get into adventures. Lasuy didn't like her at first, but agrees as Fasuy insists that magic_flower could join. She is often upset because Lasuy picks on her but she still believes that she can become stronger while she is with the others
She invents the name "aimers" for the group.

star_sisterneo
She's the older sister of Keren_happuch and the younger sister of Jeminan. Unlike her sisters, she barely talks and shuns others. She was always treated badly by her tribe compared to her younger sister so she first was jealous. Not until Keren left she realised, though, that Keren_Happuch didn't like her fortune of being "the chosen". She tries to look for Keren now and likes to help her to find a peaceful place, where the can live. Because Magic_flower told, she saw Keren_happuch in faerieland, she hopes to see her again while travelling with her and the other "aimers".

Jeminan
The older sister of Keren_Happuch and Star_sisterneo. She already decided to leave the tribe, when she was young and tried to make her living while working at the shipyard of Dranas' family. When Dranas decided to found a pirate crew with Ainetad, she agreed to join because she promised to Dranas' parents to look after him. Therefore she's she person on the ship who gets others to work even if it takes a few hits with her mop :3
Only later, when she met "star_sisterneo" again after a long time she noticed how much she actually cares for her sisters.

Dranas
He's the son of a shipwright but he hates real work. Except his quite small ship he made himself with his father he never did anything special. That's the reason, why he made a pirate crew with Ainetad... Pirates don't have to work, right? Well... Since Jeminan is on the ship he has to work more, then expected. They'll never be a serious pirate crew, since Dranas refuses to steal anything. He makes enough money with playing card games (He's always the lucky bum in games like that).
He has a secret relationship with "Euray".

Mianarii
The ninja-scout of Dranas' pirate crew. His ninja clan was destroyed because the government were seeing it as a threat. Dranas found Mianarii badly wounded on a shore and decided to take him with the crew. Mianarii is very grateful and swears to protect Dranas and his friends at all cost.

So... those were all of my permanent pets right now with a bit of their story and relation background. Are you confused already because of the many different relationships? Gooood XDDDD

Out of boredom I decided to make a little sketch with the relationships I thought of until now (drag into your address bar for full few):

Yup... it's still confusing :P (especially because I made it this messy XD). I even may have forgotten a few lines of relationship... but never mind ^^''''

I guess the relationships will be more clear once all petpages and storylines are done XD Like I said before, I may be the first artist on neo (as far as I know) which connected this much of their pets with each other in this way (of course there were always artists, who conected their pets' story line a bit but never as complex XD). Of course most of the storylines (and petpages etc.) is still in progress but I wonder how people will react, when it's done. :3

Well.. even if it's not completly developed you should able to see that my pets mean a lot to me. They are not just like a trophy or even just a pile of pixels... they have stories and individual personalities for me. But maybe I'm just a bit obsessed ^^''''

other stuff

Yeah... that's it I guess... XD

Wooow... I haven't been working on such a big petpage for a LONG TIME. I feel happy that it's finished and I finally had the motivation to work on something this big again. ^^ I really hope the quality of the art and the content is good enough for you, guest. I really put a lot of effort in it, although I was very busy with school. Please consider that XD I would really like to be the new owner for Rilkayne. He's really a great pet and is worth applying for. Actually I maybe wanted to make more pictures but I didn't have more time... shame XD But guess it wouldn't have changed shondar's decision anyway ^^'''

Of course I would love to get Rilkayne (like everybody else, who applied I guess), but If you would choose someone else as new owner I will accept that (I don't have much other choice, right? *lol*).

to all other visitors: stealing art/plot/coding or ANY other stuff is BAAAAD... so don't do it ;)

Thanks for reading my very first application! (you DID read everything, right? :P). I hope you will come by to visit my other pet's petpages, too, once they are done =D
Yup... now it's REALLY over. NO MORE TO READ XD

10/19/2008: I got a message today that I'll get Rilkayne... omg! thanks sooo much shondar and everyone, who rated my petpage and gave hints to improve it. =D
