Congratulations! You'll need to contact everyone who offered prized to let them know what you want drawn. Have a great day everyone! Oh, and also! We'll be announcing which animals will become canon before too long.
The design contest for the animals
has now ended. This does not mean you cannot submit designs, though! We will continue accepting these submissions for the nest week (until the 27th) - they will save you from a strike but they
will no be counted for the contest.As a reminder, winners will be announced on
September 1st!
Having recognized that most people are having trouble finishing the roleplay element of this assignment on time, we will now allow extensions! A moderator or admin must vouch for individuals in a group, as long as you've made a reasonable attempt the assignment will be considered done (not like,
done done, but worked on to a satisfactory degree).
Please make sure you read EVERYTHING in this journal to avoid misunderstandings!Welcome, one and all, to the Elemental Animals event! There will be two key components to this chapter of tGB. You may choose either one to participate in. To ensure that everyone has a fair opportunity to participate in the event, you are
only allowed to pick one of the two available assignments. The consequence of not submitting an assignment this time around is
one strike.
Keep in mind that the elemental animals are PERMANENT ADDITIONS to Nandryx!! So this isn't your ONLY CHANCE to roleplay with them in canon! The Discovery Roleplays are just to learn more about them!
Let's get crackin'!
Discovery Roleplays!
In groups of no less than three, you will participate in a group roleplay to "discover" an elemental animal. During this roleplay, you will learn as much as possible about your respective animal; which element they preside over, any powers they possess, and other important data that may be useful.
You may only be a part of one discovery group. We want as many members as possible to be able to participate in this assignment!
As you complete your discovery RP, you will be required to upload and submit it to the gallery. After an elemental animal has been "discovered", their reference will be updated with a biography.
Each animal will have a specific mod playing them. The location of the elemental animals is included here. If an elemental animal is only available within a single tribe's territory, the cats that discover it must be part of that tribe.

If this is the assignment you would like to participate in, please comment below with the following information:
Group: [List at least two other members]
Characters: [Which characters will you all be using?]
Animal: [Which elemental animal will you be in charge of discovering?]
If you'd like to sign out an animal, but don't yet have a group, feel free to comment asking for others to join you in a group for that animal. However, you will not be put down until you post the above form for the animal. Please make sure you post the form as its own comment, and not a reply to someone else, so that it shows up in our inbox.
Elemental animals will be signed out on a first-come first-serve basis. If you would like to join a discovery RP after an elemental animal has been signed out, you may contact one of the group members and ask to join. If a new member joins your discovery group, please comment and tell us who has joined, and with which character. (Make sure to ask how far along the RP is before joining; if they're almost done, you might consider picking a different elemental animal so that you can participate more thoroughly.)
Discovery RPs will be due by September 1st at the absolute latest.
Design Contest!
You, the members, have the option of designing your own elemental animals! Several animals will be chosen to be made canon, and the top three winners will be given
fabulous prizes!
First place will receive: One free skill to any character of their choice (current or future), two free headshots from
Toadfoal, two free requests from
Silvadil, one free request from
viovinn, one free request from
quaill, one free request from
Baerrito, and one free bust from
decimaI!
Second place will receive: One free headshot from
Toadfoal, one free request from
Silvadil, one free request from
viovinn, one free request from
quaill, and one free request from
Baerrito!
Third place will receive: One free headshot from
Toadfoal, and one free request from
Silvadil!
Your designs should be put on the blank elemental animal reference sheet, found
here.
Your entries must include the following information in the artist's comments:
Name: [What is the name of the elemental animal?]
Element: [What element do they preside over?]
Abilities: [What powers do they have? Powers must be derived from the animal's element. Does not necessarily have to come from the tribes' skill trees.]
Description: [Describe the appearance of your elemental animal and key traits they have.]
Food Chain: [Are they herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores? Do they consider cats predator or prey? Both? Neither?]
Behavior: [Describe the elemental animal's nature; how they socialize, if they are hostile or docile-- just their everyday attitude.]
Provocation: [How do they react to being attacked/hunted/threatened?]
Other: [Any other important or relevant information you would like to share!]
When you're done, submit your design to the Elemental Animal Design Contest folder in the Gallery.
If you have any questions about designing your elemental animal, please contact
Sycopomp!
Please ensure that your elemental animal is not a
big predator. Anything larger than a fox or badger should not be submitted.
Members may enter as many times as they like. You may only place in the running once (and therefore only win one of the three prizes); however, every individual elemental animal will be judged respectively, and one member may have several of their contributions made canon.
The contest will end on August 20th. Winners will be chosen before September 1st.
