STEP TWO.B: Your First Shedu!
Back to ; Step One - THE START | Rockport Daily
Ah-hah! So you want that sweet, sweet kitty first! No worries, we’ll go back to the Handler soon enough.
Through the Shedu Novice Diploma!
Completing the SND gives you access to a collection of already designed & uploaded Shedu Cats.
This means you can go straight into playing the game. You don’t have to wait like with the other steps.
If you want to play IMMEDIATELY why not back track to > C H A R A C T E R < and follow those steps?
These are RNG cats
These are streetbred cats; they can’t participate in certain official activities!
You cannot have any cats OR genos already; so you can’t do SND first & your friends can’t gift you things & you can’t buy things!
You have to design the cub yourself or get someone to design it for you
You have to wait until it’s at least approved to draw it; and it has to be uploaded for you to enter activities
Feral Shedu Import
You can get one during special sales or find one in explorations or trade for one. Read about Feral Shedu Cats HERE.
Buying from Community!
Sometimes holidays bring special kitties that players can be randomly gifted. This is very rare and very unreliable.
Players are always selling cats for art, RDs or USD.
Friends might gift you a starter cat.
Just don't rely on these options for 'freebie' cats!
So… What’s a STREETBRED and what’s an OFFICIAL Cat!?
Streetbred cats are just that, bred on the 'streets'. Meaning they are not given official papers upon birth. Meaning they can’t produce official cubs* and that they likely have questionable lineage!
Official cats are registered with Elseviers. (OERS ; Official Elsevier Registered Shedu) They do have official pedigrees given to them at birth & can participate in Official events. Their lineage is tracked the same as a pedigreed animal IRL.
* if you apply Fake Papers your Streetbred can be treated as official. All their cubs will be born with "Official: pedigrees. If your Streetie was ‘Unknown Lineage’ before they’ll be assigned a random bloodline and if said cat is a male, all of his offspring too will carry this lineage.
You have a GENO - Now what!?
Well, now it's time to design that kitty!
You have a CAT - Now what!?
So you have an uploaded cat? Good! Now you can decide if you want to BREED this cat or if you want to pursue a story!
If you want to BREED the cat please move to > Step Four; How to play <
If you want to do group hosted activities such as Bi-Weekly Street Races and The International Federation of Shedus Training then follow Step Four as well!
If you want to pursue a story, all you have to do is start drawing and writing about your characters! Ultimately you don't have to do anything you don't want to. But there are some fun things you can do with your cat such as...
