Some where in the depths of space and time floats a planet entirely made up of the antro kind. This planet, aptly named by it's inhabitants, anthrosia, is a quiet place..or so it was beleived. Every port and peir terrorised by pirates, bands of cut throats, theives and scallywags out to plunder, pillage and ransack your village. As luck would have it though, one town popped up, where strange ships of unknown ownership peir and call forth the men (and women..even though it's powerful bad luck to have a woman aboard.. Hush you!). They birth beside the great long navy vessels, happy men (and women of course) come, eat, drink, recruit and leave, the question is, when you're recruited will you be raising the flag of truth, or will the skull and cross bones be your mark? Welcome to the Port of Anthro my friend, you have stumbled upon, The Pirates of Anthrosia.

Welcome to the great wide world of Anthrosia!
The world is made up of many islands, each with their own species and culture.
See the map and a description of each island below.


User Image





:: The port of Anthros ::

The port of anthros is a very important place. Most people travel heer to jump on a ship, Ships of unknown origin and ownership dock here to recruit hords of burly men and strapping women and even cocky young lads and lassies to help run a ship.

The navy also docks here though they of course have a recruitment office, there are several navy ships, the most powerful of course run by the Admaral. Others are run simply by captains.

The port of anthros is a bustling town and the main watering hole, where everyone goes for some scully and rum is of course The Rusty Bucket. It's a very large pub, where alot of fights happen, it's also rumoured to be a favorite hiding place of Pirates when they wish to discuss their hunts. Of course, that is just a rumour.

To the west of the port of Anthrosia lay many smaller villages where people of various origins travel to the port to seek their fortune on the seven seas!

:: The Sea of the Tranquil Beast ::

This sea feeds directly out from The port of anthros, noone truely knows whats beyond the main island, theres a thousand rumours of islands, filled with treasures and midgets in loincloths, maybe when one of the ships sales, you'll be able to find out.

Here Thar be monsters..well..we don't acctually know whats here do we? Thar may be monsters tho!!

:: Fire Mountains ::

At the very heart of Anthrosia grows the most magnificent mountains you will ever see. Snow topped peaks that seem to stretch on forever, and enough caves and secret passages to be re-named as Labarinth Mountains. The Mountains are inhabited by a small race of creatures that never show themselves. Instead they choose to walk around in huge black cloaks and were nick named 'Fire Eaters'.

:: Fox Isle ::

Fox isle is an island completely covered in forest and is populated by... you guessed it! Foxes! They like to keep to themselves, but will often leave the island to trade or explore. Strangely the island is 'paw' shaped and hidden amongst the trees you might find long lost relics of an ancient civilisation. What happend to this civilisation, nobody knows, but it is believed that the island holds a great power.

:: Amazon Isle ::

To the south west of port Anthros, floats a rather large island inhabited by a tribe of fierce amazonian women. It has a cove-like beach surrounded by cliffs that lead up on to an overhang where great towering trees peer over the edge. The rocks are green with age and the sounds of an ancient jungle echo above.

:: The Frozen Lands ::

Far, far to the North you will find a yet uncharted place known as the Frozen Lands. The air is so cold here it's like inhaling small needles as you breath. The only ship capable of cutting through these solid waters in the Golden ship Noel... maybe there is some other way you could get there?

:: Aislin ::

Recently discovered by a seriously lost explorer (Professor A. C. Woodrow), Aislin is a glorious and wealthy city situated in the east of Anthrosia. It is a floating city holding millennia of history and culture. The people who reside there are very beautiful with an ability to fly, as well as cast spells and understand a thousand languages (or so we believe). They are a timid race, taking part in no wars for over three hundred years, and making no contact with the rest of Anthrosia for a further six hundred.

:: Desert Plains ::

The dryest and warmest place in Anthrosia. The sand dunes spread out for miles and the only sourse of wather there is a small oasis called puddle town.

:: Shadow Lands ::

Not much is known about this place yet, except that only the most daring (or insane) captains set sail for the Shadow Lands.

Scurvy dogs!

So you want to know about pirates do ya? Well they be the scurviest bunch of ruffians you'll ever meet. Aye , that's what I said. Somehow though these looters of the sea manage to have some sort of order, or at least general guidelines to go by. The following ranks is what I be on about so listen up and listen up good ye scurvy naves or I'll hang ya by the giblets I will!



:: Legends ::

Thar be legends on the seven seas of pirates so feared that the likes of them are never again seen on these 'ere seas. Some says they be myths, others? Well others they knows better! Watch out for Captain Red Beard, Black eyes or even the mysterious Arabella Drummond. However theres a randsom out for their heads if you get in beheading distance. MAybe you could use the dabloons?


:: Captains ::

Captains are the most respected and hated people on a ship. They are the people most likely to get it in the neck when there is a mutiny. However they are usually very powerful men or women who have worked their way up the ranks to be the top cat. A captain chooses where a ship goes, who swabs the decks and who walks the plank. Basically whatever they say goes, savvy?


:: First Mates ::

First mates are the captains most trusted recruits (or their most hated rival) Either way they seem to manage to work in unison to keep the rest of the crew in check that is of course unless he (or she) is just that little too ambitious and talks the crew in to a mutiny.


:: Cabin Crew::

General crew mates of pirates are both men and women! Pirates aren't too discriminative about sexes in Anthrosia. Hardy rough around the edges men and rough and ready wenches out for adventure and a chance to cut throats, plunder, pillage and maybe even get their leg over! The crew is generally obedient to the captain, or just generally scared half to death of him! Occasionally they band together under the first mates call to mutiny against a particularly tyrannical captain or simply because they want his treasure for themselves! It is possible for a crew member to leave and run their own ship as captain, but on a scoundrels wage it would be unafordable.


:: Cabin kitties ::

Cabin kitties are usually left to do all the dirty jobs even the cabin crew wouldn't do. Swabbing the decks, cleaning the kitty litter trays, shining boots... quite an abused position really. I suppose you have to start somewhere. Its not all work though, cabin kitties are free to roam about and do as they please in their free time. An adventure filled fun life, so long as you dont anger the captain and crew.

The Great Anthrosian Navy

Aside from the scoundrels of the Anthrosian waters, there just so happens to be one of the finest Navy battalions out there too! The gentle folk of the Anthrosian islands feel a lot safer this way, as Admiral Dogbert the third commands his great ships of trustworthy men (and women), who guard the shores with their lives. It all comes down to Dog vs Kitty Cat in the never ending battle between the good the bad and the kind of inbetween?



:: Sir Admiral Berthold Dogbert the third ::

Admiral Dogbert the third is the greatest Mariner that ever lived, and he's still living today. Although he's rather ancient and needs the help of a cane to stand, he still has that lust for pirate blood he's had since he was a young deck swabber. Leading the Queens Navy to victory against all enemies of the crown and everything 'propper', Admiral Dogbert is one mutt you shouldn't mess with.

Sworn enemies with the Legendary Long John Silver (Who took a chunk from his right ear in a cat fight), and just about every pirate captain that ever lived, Admiral Dogbert proves himself both out on the sea and behind a desk planning offense tactics. If you want to be a captain of one of his ships, then you'll really have to go out on a limb to impress... this is one mean puppy!

:: Admirals ::

The top dog on deck as they say. The Admiral is in charge on whichever ship he sets foot on. Usually he won't bother the captain, but will over see battle tactics and how a ship is run. They will usually have the first and last say in everything, unless royalty is involved. Admirals take orders from the Queen, and usually whatever she says goes! Admirals also have the power to sentence a pirate (or officer) to death, once sentence is past though, anything could happen...


:: Captain ::

Ahoy captain! Appointed by Admiral Dogbert the second, Captains are at the head of the ship. They are the organisers, navigators, mediators and general pain in the arse sometimes. But don't let their strict temper fool you, if it weren't for the captain the whole crew would be swimming with the fishes right now. There is normally one captain per ship (unless there is a second in training), in which case there may be multiple.


:: First Mate ::

As with the pirates the Navy captains also choose to confide in and give out orders through a first mate. These are usually the most trustworthy member of the crew (so it's believed) and they are treated more as a friend by the captain than just one of the crew.


:: Ships Doctor ::

The most important member aboard ship, and usually the cleverest. The ships doctor is the saviour of severed limbs, sea sickness and cabin fever. It's a tough and often disgusting job, but somebody has to do it. A doctor is permitted to bring on board a nurse or assistant to help with the work load.


:: Cabin Crew/soldiers ::

Lookouts, cannon operators, toilet cleaners, and every other basic job you could think of on board a ship comes under here. From here you can work your way up to other roles, but you'll have to prove yourself! Every crew member is expected to take up arms during battle, but cabin crew will be more, should we say... expendable than others.


:: Cabin pups ::

The lowest of low, and of course! You're a kid, what else would they do but have you cleaning the floors and tying lifelines. Besides you get what you're given! Shouldn't have left school should you! *Glares* Cabin pups are too young for battle but when they get older they will become crew members.

There are of course other people in the land of anthrosia , the port of Anthros is a bustling city filled with people! Heres just a small list of them.

:: Royalty and Gentry ::

Kings, queens, general royalty. They are head of the navy. Young up coming princes will join the navy and instantly become captains due to their ranks (this isn't always the best idea but it happens!)

The govorner / Governess is a very powerful person. they basically run the show when the royalty arnt around. They are usually shrewed buisnessmen and women with apt minds. They were often navy men or simply very powerful women whom seize the power by the throat.

The gentry of any town are basically your snobs, people born with silver spoons firmly lodged int heir gobs. They are likely to go on small voyages, when they get bored.

:: Scientist, Explorers and Artist ::

Scientists in this day and age are sort of frowned upon, but they often have quite alot of money at their disposal and occasionally they will do something rather wreckless like higher a crew to sail off in to unknown waters. They are educated men if a little wrekless at times.

Explorers and artists will either join a crew or become a stow away in the hopes of seeing new places and an unexplorer world. Don't let anyone find out though or you'll be Keel hauled! Owch!

:: Town Folk ::

The port of Anthros is a bustling town, full to brim with strange and wonderful characters who trade their goods and services for money.

With ships come merchants! They come from the seven corners of the world to bring items to land lubbers, pirates and navy men alike. They also run places like the Rusty bucket the favorite watering hole of the port of Anthros.

Peasents of course have the power to stop being peasents and join the navy or, if they are particularily naughty, run away and become a pirate! Peasents also include dock yard crew people! These peasents clean, paint and generally look after the dock for minimum wage. 'Can I ave a penny mista?' A common sound on the streets of the port of anthros as the many orphans whom have escaped the work houses or orphanages wander the streets earning a *cough* honest living by begging or stealing.

Gypsys are wandering peasents though they certainly earn alot more than your average peasent! They come in great masses to the port of anthros a few times a year for festive celebrations where booze and pleasentry run amuck!

:: Amazonians ::

There are many hidden races that reside in Anthrosia. The discovery of Amazon Isle has created a lot of talk lately, and more and more is known about this small civilisation everyday. Explorers are still unsure where the people (if you can call them that) actually live, but rumour has it that if you see one you shall die withing 36 working days!

:: Barbarians ::

Little is known of this savage race, but it is said that they live on a dark, obsidian island where there is only one port of entry. High cliffs and shallow shoals prevent most ships from even entering here. It is said that they have ships of ther own, slim low birthed ships which can land on any shore. Beware of these creatures! So little is known of them and so few have survived to tell the tale!

Welcome to the island of love. As we all know, pirates and genrally peopple are randy lil fellahs so we seem to get a whole lot of people havin babehs! However, bredings only happen when we see activity from the couple involved. Thar be a few rules when it comes to choosing a partner (or even just having a tustle in the hay with the land lady at the Rusty bucket!)

1. Characters Must be active. Anyone just breeding for breedings sake won't be allowed to.
2. They must be adults, no cabin boys knocking up old ladies okay!
3. There doesn't have to be romance! If anything pirates are more likely to 'knock boots' and go seperate ways. Usually this means that the female looks after the kids, though occasionally, the guy gets lumberd with them while she goes back to see (scurvey wench XD!)
4. Navy men are very noble gents and usually don't just jump ship, though there are those who jump on a ship to get away from responsabilities. The noblemen and gentry usually go about it the old fasioned way asking hands of fathers and all that jazz.
5. Anthrosians generally go through this whole ritual of you know having the big S word XD! So if your pirate/ navy man / woman is gay they can't have babies theres no possible way for them to have them.

Oi think thats aboot right for now! Finally prices!

Breeding is a rarity even though it is of course possible. They cost 30k a piece and the people involved must decide who stays home! Remember if you're a pirate of the seven seas you're very unlikely to want to be tied down, so think about this before asking ye wench to marry ya!

Most Anthrosians give birth to two or more offspring, depending on their fertility. Therfore the two owners who breed their characters get a new POA each, which they can either keep or give to another gaian... its up to you really.

Tis FAQ time so here we go most frequently asked questions around these here parts, any others? We shall answer them here.

Q: OMG They are sooo shuuweet! i want one how do i get one?
A: Simple, either wait for a Flat sale, Auction or even a raffle. Just scroll down to the sales section to see whats going on at the moment!

Q: EEp I got one Can I name him Captain jack sparrow?
A: I'm sorry but no, you can't name your pet Jack sparrow, there will be a special POTC set in the future, until then please refrain from naming your pets after the characters from there, thankyou!

Q: I want to be a colourist, are you taking anyone on?
A: At this time no, though we may consider in the future if the shop gets mobbed to take on a colourist, so stay tuned!

Q: How much are flat sales?
A: Flat sale prices are as follows:

Navy men - 10K
Regular Pirates - 10K
Cabin kitties/pups - 25K

Q: Ugh, why are they so expensive?
A: They are pretty and take time to create. We don't want to sell out either, we only want serious breedable gaians who will make their characters unique.

Q: Okay okay, but could you lower your prices I'm a newbie?
A: Nope. There might be give aways, stick around for those.

Q: Okay so what about auctions? How much will they cost?
A: Auctions will be very special Anthrosians, possibly they will be new line arts, special editions, or just line edited, they will be captains and admarals and special people like govoners (or governesses as the case may be) Auctions will start at 50k a peice, with no auto buys, they will run for 5 days from the start of the auction.

Q: Wa hey okay, now raffles how much will they cost?
A: Raffle ticket prices & amounts will be decided depending upon the pet being raffled. Extra special pets are bound to have more people interested and will definately have taken more time. Please no mules thats totally unfair!

Q: Do you do custom colours? I want one to look like my cat/dog/pet that is cuter than anyone elses in the world.
A: Yes, you may request a custom from any of our colourists. They will be 50K though. ninja

Q: Do you do pet trades? I really want a custom!
A: At this time no.

Q: Do you do custom Line art?
A: Please PM padfootspaws about this as she may be busy or wants to go over your ideas with you. Custom LA will cost from around 100-200K depending on what you want.

Q: Are anthrosians rp necessarry?
A: No but we like it if you do come and rp! we have a guild and everything for you to rp in ^__^! Also if you rp and come around we are more likely to grow your pets cause we know you're here see so it's a win win sitch! Also if you rp you could be in with a chance of becoming a captain either by mutiny or **other** means teehee!

Q: Can I make a journal for my Anthreosian? I want to map what he/ she is doing .
A: Of course you can! feel fere to set up a thread for yourself in the guild!

Q: Okay so cabin kiddies grow up..uhm how / when?
A: Well cabin kiddies do indeedy grow, but I know alot of people like to rp their pets and if their kiddie grew to adult after a week they may be unhappy. So heres how it works. After a month (30 days from flat sale) you can request for your anthrosian to grow. Your anthrosian will then grow simple as that! If you wish your pet to stay a cabin boy/ gurl for longer / ever thats fine too it's really up to you though the minimum time you have to stay a cabin kiddie is a month okies?

Q: COSPLAY!!!
A: AH! Only if its's pirate related. For example a historical pirate, naval officer etc. No Jack Sparrows though, we will make that an event someday! razz

well thats it for now, any more questions? ask away!
