LIFE IN CHAROITE

[/size]

+Animals
Wild animals are abundant in Charoite Village. They are typically common animals, such as birds, squirrels, rabbits. Although they are NPC, do not forget to include them! You may keep wild animals as pets, if befriended.

+Assists
In character, Assists are essentially male assistants for the legendary three. They are ghosts, and are made of the magical qualities from the legendary three. Out of character, these are moderators are in charge of moving, editing, making announcements, ect.

+Birthdays
Character birthdays are listed in the events tab of the info board at the beginning of each season. That character is free to celebrate their birthday during that two-month period however they wish - anything from a personal thread to a huge party announced on the bulletin board. At the start of the following season, an admin will go to the character's profile and edit their age.

+Chickens
Chicken Coop required. They are low maintenance and a good source of income. It takes three threads for a chick to become an adult. In the first thread, the egg must be placed in the incubator. In the second thread, they hatch, and in the third thread they are little chicks. By the fourth “chicken” thread, they will be adult chickens and will begin to produce eggs. Adult chickens may be obtained through the Ranch or as a mail-in order.

+Children
Pregnancy usually occurs after unprotected sex. If such activity occurs, PM an admin and we will determine the sex and number of children the “lady friend” is carrying. Pregnancy lasts three seasons. After the child is born, they may be played by either parent or pawned off onto someone else. The child ages one year every season until the child is four years old, then they age normally.

+Cows
Barn required. Cows require regular attention and care. It takes a pregnant cow a season to conceive her calf, and it takes another season to become an adult cow. When an adult, they will automatically produce milk and be able to produce more cow spawn. Adult cows may be obtained through the Ranch or as a mail-in order.

+Crops
Crops may be obtained via Crop Farm or mail-in order. Crops are available by season.
Spring - Cabbage, Flax, Lavender, Strawberry, Turnip.
Summer – Cocoa, Corn, Tomato, Sunflower, Watermelon.
Fall – Pepper, Pumpkin, Rice, Rose, Yam.
Winter – Anemone, Buckwheat.

Two threads must be completed before crops are ready for harvesting. First, the planting, second, watering, and by the third thread crops will be ready for harvest. Crops planted out of season will grow slower(require four threads before harvesting), and will be of lower quality.

+Festivals
There are two main festivals every season, each lasting thirty days. They are as follows:
Spring – New Years Gala, Valentines Day, & Spring Horse Race .
Summer – Beach Festival, Founders Festival, & Fireworks Festival.
Fall – Harvest Goddess Feast, Fall Horse Race, & Halloween.
