Happy 11th Anniversary, ORIGIN! - Origin Cave - May 18 2026
It's been 11 whole years since Origin opened in May of 2015, and so much has happened and changed since then! We know it's been quiet around here lately, but we appreciate everyone that is still sticking around and talking in the discord and we're excited for all the talk of activity upcoming!
We don't have anything huge planned for this year's anniversary, but we're around for the (slightly late) annual gacha and an extra little treat - magicka for posts and thread creation is doubled for the remainder of the month, as are completed thread claims! If you're thinking about coming back to your creatures, now is the best time! See you out in the caves!
Please claim your gacha rolls in this thread using the below form. Please only post once for yourself and edit your post when claiming new rewards. Each player may roll the gacha once per day, for a maximum of 5 rewards. Copy the date and time from the footer of your roll, as well as the reward tier and what you're claiming. GMs will mark your post when the rewards are sent out.

Reward:Tier 4 - Rare Character Slot, maybe with Optional Design Concept sketch, if Dark wants: (Jay is noting that the design was indeed received)
Semi-Aquatic Burrowing Crechur Design Vibes:
- General Body Shape: Eel+Ferret body shape vibes combined
- Very good burrowing claws on the paw-adjacent limbs (probably four limbed for best land and water utility, though six-limbed would equally good if it works with the vibes)
- Has "headfins", which are practically speaking there for adjusting coverage of the creature's ear-holes, so that more or less input is received depending on the need for that type of hearing, which is more useful on land
- Their burrowing-leg-limbs are not used in swimming, tucked close to their body
- Their tail and their lean body is what they use for water maneuverability. Their tail has a set of vertical fins, which are probably closer to being shark-solid than beta-fish feathery-solid, and their movement in water is somewhere like if a shark was an eel... but was really a shark-ferret with a prehensile tail with shark-solid eel-axolotl tail and back fins that they use for easily adjust angles while swimming?
- Gills exist
- Sharp teeth, optional shark-row teeth if desired! ...Imagine if crechur-friend smiles with all the teeth...
- Some even amount of eyes... Maybe 4? or 2? or 6? one of those!
- Scaled, but small, fine scales. Not really distinctly visual, but the scales make the kind of unseen potential-sandpaper grain-esque type that makes the difference between smooth-to-touch and rough-to-touch depending on direction
- Coloration is like a chameleons, it can be used deliberately like camouflage with effort, but it comes way more naturally to act like a mood-ring. Closest to a 'default' is a mix of a variety of vibrant greens and blues displayed
- Could definitely have some spikes and spinies, but probably only in ways that won't be a detriment to water maneuverability
- Technically could live fully in water, but is naturally suited biologically towards enabling creating burrow-nest areas on land right near water, taking advantage of their semi-aquatic adaptions by leaving the water for the full-sleep-type rest they require
- While technically Semi-Aquatic, this creature would feel intense-itchy physical discomfort if not in water for a cycle, for sure, because they're made to be aquatic living for certain
