On the outskirts of one of the major human settlements, one devoted soul and his trusty nanny doe take care of any homeless or motherless Rukaan they find. These may be wild orphans found unattended or unwanted tame calves surrendered by their owner, and injured wild or unruly tame adults are also not uncommon.
The shelter’s owner is happy to help Rukaan in need of aid but doesn’t have the space to care for all of them. He prefers to find them homes with people who are interested in learning more about the breed in order to spread awareness of these majestic creatures.
Adopted Rukaan will have an ear tag applied to their import. It does not have to be shown in art of the Rukaan.
The ear tag can be removed once they reach Thegn level in the ranking system.
Adopted Rukaan cannot be sold or rehomed until their ear tag is removed at Thegn level. They can be returned to the adoption center if no longer wanted.
All non-donated Rukaan ("generated genos") will be assigned a lineage when they are uploaded. You may specify ONE starter that you do not wish to appear in the lineage OR you may specify ONE other Rukaan you do not wish them to be related to when submitting your design after you have officially been given your geno. Your Rukaan cannot share any rare or mythical traits with the starter/other Rukaan.
Rukaan donated as imports do not come with a recreation stone. They are meant for newer members who may not be ready to brave the design process. If you intend to redesign the Rukaan, please adopt a geno rather than an import to give other players a chance at a pre-designed adoption.
All information in the geno, including disposition, must remain the same when registered. Disposition can be changed once the Rukaan is uploaded by completing The Passage of True Calling.
You are free to determine the backstory for your Adoption Center Rukaan. The Adoption Center does not need to be a part of their backstory unless you want it to be.
Each player may adopt 2 total Rukaan from the adoption center, regardless of how many Rukaan they already have from other sources.
These may be adopted at the same time or separate times, it is up to you!
If you adopt a Rukaan from the adoption center and return it, this still counts against your limit of 2 total adoption center Rukaan.
Adoption Center Rukaan are given a home on a first-come, first-served basis. If you don’t see one you like, keep checking back! You are welcome to include a second and third choice in your request in case your first choice is taken.
An admin will respond to your request. If they respond with a geno, that is your proof of ownership for your new Adoption Center Rukaan! You can request help designing it at the bottom of this journal, or design yourself using the Design Guide and then submit to the Design Approval journal.
