 💎 Rumiu - Species rules 💎

Rumius are a semi-open species invented and managed by FuriaAndMimma!

Every rumiu is registered to the Rumiu Genealogical Tree – an online register that’s always freely open for consultation by anyone – which makes it officially part of the species and allows the owners to breed it with other rumius.

What does that mean for you?

We’ll keep it simple: the management of this species works like a professional breeding farm, and there are three ways to obtain a rumiu.

 

The first is to buy it directly from us: we’ll regularly put new designs up for grabs!

 

The second is to contact us and buy a MYO (make your own) ticket for only 7 dollars, which allows you to take the reins on the design for your first generation rumiu and, once it's approved, make it become an official part of the species, signing them up for the official Genealogical Registry!

The third is to breed it yourself (or to buy the design from a friend that already bred it): if you’re the owner of a couple of rumius of opposite sexes, it doesn’t matter if first or second generation, you can do this:

1) Contact us and send us a note in which you specify the identity of the two parents (they don’t need to be owned by the same person! You can breed your rumiu with another one that belongs to a friend or a fellow rumiu enthusiast, as long as they’re a male and a female and that both owners agree to this breeding).

2) We’re gonna register the offspring to the Rumiu Genealogical Tree, making it officially part of the species!
Every breeding will generate a maximum of two baby rumius, and a rumiu can be bred max twice every year.

 

3) Done, you have your baby rumiu/s! 

Of course, all baby rumius obtained through this method won't be first generation, and will be instead categorized as the generation following the one of their "latest" parent, the one that belongs to the most recent category.

For example, if your baby rumiu is born from a first gen and a second gen, they will register as third generation. If they're born from a fifth gen and a third gen, they will register as sixth generation, ecc...
 

Let’s talk about what we all know you want to know: the design! What will your baby rumiu look like?
The generated offspring can have any mix of features inherited by the parents, or even other relatives, but no features that don’t already figure in their bloodline.

For example, a green and red rumiu cannot produce a yellow offspring, but the offspring can have both green AND red in its palette.
You can invent the design of this new rumiu yourself or decide to commision us; commision for rumiu designs are always open, and for bred rumius that are obtained like this, the standard ones only cost $15 dollars.
Standard design commissions are made using a base created by us, so they have all the same pose, but with colors and features personal to the commissioned design. If you wish to get something more complex or just different, you can check our commission prices, that you can find →HERE←

But wait, what if you’re buying an official rumiu from someone who isn’t us? In that case, we only would like to be notified of the ownership transferral, so we can keep the Register updated!
Please, do so with some proof (a screenshot, for example) so we know you’re not just stealing the design from someone else.

 

If you’re unsure about anything concerning rumiu ownership, just ask, don’t be shy

You can now go, and enjoy your crystal babies!
