Time for more Mendacium pups!

Now that some details have been ironed out, here is the official litter application for Manea and Alastor's third litter! This is the first time we're doing open adoptions for these kids so I'm excited to be able to invite some other players into the family! The litter is going to be born on December 6th (my birthday!) and will be playable on December 20th! Due to the Mendacium genetic trait of having naturally smaller litters, we're looking for a maximum of three pups, but we're more likely to pick around two.

Due to some bad bad rolls on our cursed litter pass, we'll have to have two pups with disabilities. We would prefer to have crystal themed disabilities just out of personal preference, but if you have a really good idea for a mushroom themed one we're open to suggestions! Please keep in mind that any pups with noticeable deformities would likely be killed by Manea and Alastor. They would not want their children to struggle through life or suffer due to their disabilities so we encourage you to think of things that either wouldn't be immediately noticeable or wouldn't have as much of a physical impact on their daily lives. If you need ideas or help you can leave that part off of your app or DM myself or Joe for suggestions!

All of the information about the Mendacium family, their beliefs, and their laws can be found here! I'd encourage you to give it a read before applying for a pup just to make sure you get a feel for their culture and what would be expected of them in the long run.

Personalities and Skills

Their alignments can be a pretty wide range, but for the most part they would skew likely either neutral or evil. They will grow up with very loving, protective, and encouraging parents, but there isn't many limitations on what is "right" and "wrong". They are pretty much allowed to live as they please as long as they are abiding by the Mendacium laws. The Mendacium family as a whole does tend to be more volatile and violent, but are very dedicated and passionate as well. All of that being said if any of them skewed more sweet and kind that is certainly not a bad thing! In fact, Alastor would adore it!

As far as skills go, it's pretty much anything goes! Manea, Alastor, and Saracyn all went the fighting/hunting route while Avacyn and Fiametta went fighting/intellect. They'll grow up around Irilyth and Aunt Ikigai as well that could be mentors for healing if you want to go that way with it and there is also Ricin in Elysium that could teach them navigation. Whatever skill they want to learn there's someone that can teach them! Obviously fighting as one of their skills is preferred, but not required at all.

Appearances

Color scheme should stick to purple, red, and black and can have accents of white, blues, or other unnatural colors. More vibrant coats and various mutations are definitely encouraged for their bloodline. It's common in Manea's line of the Mendacium family to have a marking around one eye and all of their children so far have taken after that trait so if you wanted to incorporate that into your design as well that would be awesome! There are some unused designs on the Mendacium family information page to sort through if you'd like, just keep in mind those were purchased for the family as a whole, not for this litter in particular.

Applicable discounts:
25% off purple coloring
25% off red coloring
25% off odd shaped marking passes

Here are some designs you can pick from! You can also bring your own design as long as it fits the family's color scheme and patterns.

Activity Requirements

Activity wise I do expect them to be at least moderately active and to participate in Elysium pack activity checks as well as family events. If they are set inactive at any point or go two months with zero posts with no warning I will take them back for readoption. If at any point there is a major life event that would prevent you from posting for a long period of time just contact me and we can discuss it! We would prefer for them to be at least advanced in both skills by their first birthday as well, but this isn't a hard rule.

Application

Here is a form to fill out if you're interested! It doesn't have to be complete right away, but a work in progress would at least let me know if I should pursue having this litter or not. Thanks in advance!

Applications due by November 29th!
