Special thanks to Gortys for these designs!

Congrats to our winners! These accounts should be created and filled out today, as these guys hatch Sunday, the 25th! ORIGIN reserves the right to reclaim these adopts if they go inactive.

Corvus has won the Sphinx adopt! You have until later today to let us know that you plan to create the account and also to let us know your OOC name!

Fracture has won the Horse adopt!

Arthur has won the Chaos Noodle adopt!

HALLOWEEN RAFFLES!!!
We will roll winners on October 24th, as these guys hatch October 25th.

How to enter:
1. Choose the adopt you would like to enter for. You can enter for more than one, but you can only win once. They will be drawn in order of their codenames: Sphinx, Horse, Chaos Noodle. Anyone can enter, except Navy and Java (who already won adopts earlier). ((Note any preferences you have to the adopts. I will roll all 3 and if you've won more than one, I will choose your preference, and re-roll the other for a new winner.))

2. Create a quick MS Paint doodle of the adopt(s) you are interested in. Don't have access to MS Paint? Use the online tool: JS Paint. NOTE: we are not looking for recreations or gorgeous works of art. Draw your quickest, silliest entry.

For example, my favorite is Chaos Noodle:


3. That's it! You will need to have the accounts created and ready to go by the end of the day on the 25th, but if you need more time, just let me know.

Somewhere in Eridanus and tucked away near the Eyes, cracks in the wall have exposed a glowing alcove. It is almost impossible to tell what is inside, but one may be able to sense three growing chrysalises there... it sounds as if thunder rumbles behind the wall, almost like an entire storm may be brewing there...

SPHINX



Name: Up to the adopter
Species: Valkhound
Stone: Oilstone
Stone Location: Inner Chest
Element: Corrupted (will have to be set by GMs when account is created)
Staring Spell: Profaned Creature

Appearance: The Oilstone protrudes through the center of the chest as a small spike in the middle of a milky iridescent marking; this same milky iridescence is found within the hood surrounding its head. This creature is semi-furred in slick oily hairs and scales that are black-blue in color, shimmering with dark iridescence. Its eyes are glowing orange. It has retractable wings. The bones of this creature are also iridescent blue-black, as are its teeth and horns. It stands about 7 feet tall at its shoulder.

Personality: Up to the adopter

HORSE


Name: Up to the adopter
Species: Valkhound
Stone: Oilstone
Stone Location: Lower Skull
Element: Corrupted (will have to be set by GMs when account is created)
Staring Spell: Chaotic Plague

Appearance: Its stone juts out of its face as thick tusks on its lower jaw. This necrotic-horse is constantly venting puffs of hot steam that seem to glow green due to the underglow of its insides. It is very warm to the touch and stands about 7 feet tall at its shoulder. It has dual-tone coloration of rusted red and dark, rotting grey-green.

Personality: Up to the adopter

CHAOS NOODLE


Name: Up to the adopter
Species: Valkhound
Stone: Oilstone
Stone Location: Heart
Element: Corrupted (will have to be set by GMs when account is created)
Staring Spell: Cursed Flame

Appearance: This creature has armor-like scales it can shed at will, and it is constantly regrowing them beneath the skin. This may sometimes cause discomfort. It is 3 feet tall at the shoulder. Its limbs are most likely to spontaneously combust into Cursed Flame, and often it may be seen with violet-black licks of flame on its feet, legs, back spikes, and tail-tip. These locations are sooty in color. It does not have eyes, and instead relies on sensory pits on its face.
