What is This?
___________________
​
Realm of the Endless Void: Beyond the Path of the Mortal Veil, more colloquially known as Realm of the Endless, RotE, or just Endless takes place primarily around southern Louisiana, most notably New Orleans – a town renown even in the real world for its ghostly hauntings and its hodgepodge of esoteric magics. Unlike the real world, however, magic is not up for debate. It's everywhere, thick the air, tangible and summonable in a variety of shapes, elements, and forms. That isn't to say that every human is attuned or capable of handling these expansive capabilities, however – some fledgling learners breathe their last unexpectedly as they engulf themselves in flame or break the very fabric of their reality with magic they can’t contain.

In quite sharp contrast, these abilities that take years for some earthians to master are commonplace to ... other sentient creatures. Indeed, it’s like breathing to them, just as much as disguising themselves to walk among the curious, immutable creatures that inhabit this planet of stone and sea.

The time is a quarter to midnight, the year 2056. When you look up, all you can see is the Void.


Please Note: This shop pushes the boundaries of our rules here at Basilisk Stew. It may contain (mostly written) scenes of graphic nature. If you are particularly phobic of violence, non-obscene but sexualized situations, adult themes, common artistic horror elements, or you are uncomfortable with black humor or morbid storytelling, this shop is not for you. Due to this, minors are also encouraged not to join.

What We Are
___________________

​


Welcome to RotE!

We're a little bit of a mix of what we are; we aren't exactly a single closed species adoptable group, as we do have extensive lore, several races, and humans included in our shop. We also aren't strictly a B/C (breedable/changeable) shop, as our characters do not grow or change automatically. We do have some form of "breeding" through certain races' accelerated propagation systems, and we do offer ways to get new forms or updated art for your characters, though!

We don't require any kind of roleplay to keep characters, nor do we ask for strict activity, though we do have benefits available for both. We allow swapping and gifting of characters, and we have a special rarity and uniqueness system to easily identify edits and unique art without the hassle of asking. We have both base-drawn characters and fully unique characters as well, and to facilitate that we have fairly loose standards on art style as long as quality is maintained, meaning there's likely an artist for everyone's tastes in our ranks.

Several races call Earth and Endless home, providing you with ample options for design possibilities, and many of them can take on multiple forms, offering even more choice in creation! Even in simply their base shapes, the canine aliosa, cervine sanjari, faerie-like elphyme, and feline grimmalkin present plenty of options, though there's nothing stopping you from claiming a perfectly normal human or two, either. That's not even getting into espers... It's best not to get into them at all, really. We'd be here all day!

As for our setting, our story is based in an alternate Earth, near modern day, in a reality where another sort of existence is invading our own. Our rating exists because we want people to be able to delve into realistic characters if they want; some of our races are predatory, while others struggle with that urge. Humans can tap into powers they were never meant to, and that could potentially have profound effects on the personality and psyche - or not! We consider RotE to be a grimbright setting; there is a layer of darkness settled just under the surface of standard reality, but that darkness can be resisted. Death and violence are simple parts of some existences, but these forces can be fought against and in some instances truly changed for the better.

Or maybe you just want to ignore any of the deeper ramifications of an Earth with otherworldly invaders; that's just as valid and viable here. From the trickster elphyme playing lighthearted pranks to an allios who simply wants to be a barista and survive off happy chitchat and bubbly patrons, there's as much light as there is dark, here. Ultimately, this is a place for you to create your stories, and we wholeheartedly invite you to make your mark in the Archivist's pages.

(Just don't tell him we gave you permission. He wouldn't like that.)

Rules and Expectations
___________________
​
Realm of the Endless follows all of the forum rules as they are written.
In addition, we have the following rules regarding usage rights of concepts and races belonging to this world.

I. Users must be a member of this forum or the Discord server in order to trade or sell any characters. Any characters belonging to users not on either of these platforms are not eligible to be sold, traded, or given away.

II. All characters have restrictions on how they may be sold. Only characters originally obtained for RLC may be sold for RLC. Non-RLC characters may not be swapped for anything with a direct cash value except other characters; vouchers, cash, gift cards, and cash currency are all prohibited, as is any other exchange that represents something worth real world money being traded. Trading is allowed but worth must be clearly stated in the trade offer.

III. Characters purchased with RLC may be sold for any amount, but you must disclose the original purchase value in your sale. We believe in a free market, and if you think your character is worth more than you paid for, great! You do not have to give any in-between costs if you don't want, only the original.

IV. You may freely rehome characters at your discretion. However, if we find you using this privilege to make under the table sales of non-RLC characters, you will be banned with no further warning. This is a serious offense.

V. Co-owning is not allowed, ever. Under no circumstances are you allowed to co-own a character, for any reason.

VI. The shop may blacklist any user for failing to follow rules or for attempting to create drama in the community, whether on Basilisk Stew, Discord, or any other outlets. If you have a problem with another user, just don't interact with them. This is not the place for your personal drama.

VII. Blacklisting does not relinquish any your characters from your possession, but you will no longer be able to use them in any shop capacity. If you are banned from the shop, you still hold rights to any designs you may have obtained. However, you will not be allowed to participate in the shop; you may not use them for metas or other events, you may not assign your characters new Providences or suggest new ones to be created, you may not roleplay within the shop, and you may not obtain any new characters under any means. All of your characters will immediately become non-tradable as well; you may choose to hand them over to the shop to give out as we see fit, but you may not trade or sell any character once you are blacklisted.

VIII. In order to track ownership, we must keep a record of at least one of your identities. We keep a database of characters and each is automatically linked to either your Discord, your Basilisk Stew username, or both. We don't keep any other information on you, and you may ask to have any of those taken off our record at any time. However, please note that if we don't have at least one verified record of who you are, you may not trade or resell your character or obtain new ones!

If you have any questions, you can ask by posting in this thread, starting a new conversation with either @polliwoggi or @ֆɦǟʀӄɮɛʀʀʏ🍕, or joining our Discord and asking in the #questions-answers channel .

How to Obtain

​
RLC Sale
___________________
​
Any form of "real life currency" sale. These can vary from custom orders, blind boxes, gachas, presales, wishes, anything you can think of, really! Any form of sale that involves the exchange of cash from buyer to designer is an RLC sale. These are the only characters that can be resold; all others can only be traded.



Flatsale
___________________
​
A set amount of characters are offered for sale at a certain time for a certain cost in a first-come, first-serve basis. The person holding the sale will announce the sale, then a short time later make a "GO" post. Please note that editing your posts during a flatsale is considered cheating and will be grounds for grey or blacklisting.



Flaffle
___________________
​
Like a flatsale, there are a set number of characters for sale, each costing a set amount, but instead of being based on speed, it is based on luck. Once the flaffle, or "flatsale raffle," is posted, people may enter for a set amount of time. Once that time is up, the individual running the flaffle will randomize the winners. You do not have to pay for a flaffle unless you win it!



Raffle
___________________
​
A raffle is... a raffle! Rather than paying at the end if you win, like a flaffle, a raffle can either be a paid raffle (where you purchase as many tickets as you have funding for), or it can be a free raffle (where you can gain tickets based on the instructions given). At the end of the event, winners will be randomized from all tickets!



Franken
___________________
​
Most common in livestreams, though certainly runnable through forums or Discord, a franken, or "frankensteined pet," is made up of rounds where the designer takes suggestions on how to build a character. They may request things like racial suggestions, palettes, pattern inspiration, and so forth. Whether or not the designer randomizes each of these or goes with the majority suggestion is totally up to them! At the end of the event, the winner is typically randomized from everyone who offered input into the franken.



Auction
___________________
​
A designer picks a specific time frame, starting bid, and optional autobuy/autobid, and then opens an auction. Users may bid amounts of currency in an effort to be the highest offer, and at the end of the auction the highest bidder wins the character! These are typically for rarer or more unusual characters, such as monsters or edited sets. Please note that bidding more than you are actually willing to pay is grounds for grey or blacklisting.



Events
___________________
​
Any number of other sorts of events might pop up, so be sure to read the instructions! It's impossible to cover everything here, so don't hesitate to ask questions if you're confused.

Newbie Appreciation Hour
___________________
​
Want to jump in to the game? Need a character? You may obtain one for free via this thread or the #newbie-zone channel on Discord! For either, simply jump in and post a personality description of your character in 300-500 words, along with an optional palette!

In order to take advantage of this offer, you must have an account that is at least a month old and has 20+ non-spam posts on Basilisk Stew, or you must be at least level 5 in Discord. Even if you win something else in getting to those goals, as long as you have no more than one character you will still be able to claim a newbie spot.

Please note that Grimmalkin and Esper are not allowed, and your resulting character will be between 1~3 star-rated! Any physical descriptions in your writing will be ignored, and their design is totally up to the artist that selects your request.

Code: 
[CENTER][FONT=Evolventa][COLOR=rgb(106, 106, 106)][SIZE=24px]Light a[/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(158, 158, 158)][SIZE=24px] [/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][SIZE=24px]fire[/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(158, 158, 158)][SIZE=24px] [/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(106, 106, 106)][SIZE=24px]and bathe me in[/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(158, 158, 158)][SIZE=24px] [/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][SIZE=24px]darkness[/SIZE][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(158, 158, 158)][SIZE=24px].[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/CENTER]
