Pets and Companions

[voidtreckermods]

Animals, familiars and other NPC creatures can be either brought along with a character's arrival, or purchased from the On-Board Shop. This page is to help everyone keep track of who owns what, where. Click the creature's name to see the full information posted by the owner's player.

Animal Rules
As of July 2021

Small (30)
These are small domestic animals, such as mice, rabbits, ferrets, geckos, birds such as parakeets or pigeons, turtles and fish. Some miniature dogs and cats can be purchased here, but they would be handbag pets - munchkins and chihuahuas. The rule of thumb for small animal purchases is that they should be able to live comfortably in a cage or tank.

Medium (100)
These are the more generic domestic pet animals. Cats, small or medium-sized dogs, badgers, foxes, monkeys. Miniature goats and deer, large birds such as eagles or vultures. The rule of thumb for medium animal purchases is that they should be a manageable pet size. An adult human should be able to lift and handle them without difficulty. Animals may be larger in height or length than the examples given, provided they are not bulky and cannot be mounts.

If an animal is capable of evolving or transforming into a larger animal, the catalyst for this transformation will cost the difference between the animal's current and new size category. A creature's adult size is what is considered for purchase categories.

We cannot give specific sizes for Pokemon due to the inconsistencies in source - anime, game etc, so the rules of thumb should be applied in good faith. The important thing is to ensure that you keep the size of your fictional animals consistent in play.

Starter companions, which take up the character's starting item slot, are an exception, and can be any size of creature provided they are not large enough and/or sturdy enough to be a mount.

Summoned creatures are not affected by these rules provided their summoning is for a limited duration.

Owner: Devero
Cabin: 3C
Name: Sir Beepers
Type: Companion drone

Description: Sir Beepers is a Xenopets Mantiscope-model companion drone, which basically means it's a pet robot that looks like a weird little alien thing. It has two primary configurations, floaf mode and skittles mode cam mode and critter mode. It can hover in both modes, and also extend and retract its appendages at will in mixed configurations. Its camera lens eye has an LED ring around it that flashes different colors to indicate its mood: default/positive is bright electric blue. Its body is brushed silver with glossy lacquered purple accents, and the ribbon-tassel on its tail/antennae is purple as well to match.

Behaviour: The majority of the time, Sir Beepers will be found accompanying its primary user, though it may choose to find or follow any other registered users it has. Currently Koumyou Sanzo is its only other registered user. Mostly it floats around and observes things, though it may occasionally land to investigate (read: poke) something that's caught its attention. It does not like being restrained or contained in any way, so if someone were to try to do so, they can expect it to buzz or beep loudly at them until they let go. Don't make it call Devero B[!!

Location: Sir Beepers has a charging dock in Devero's cabin, but it can hold a charge for a long time, so mostly it's free roaming.
Permissions: Players can assume they've seen it, most likely accompanying Dev. They can attempt to interact with it, but since it's just been activated it won't engage unless Devero tells it to. However, anyone who's doing something it hasn't seen before, or using an unfamiliar item, may find themselves subject to close, unblinking robo-scrutiny for a while.
