Homelands Registration

Posted 2 years, 11 months ago (Edited 1 month, 8 days ago) by BGArts
Greetings fishies, and welcome to the Homelands registration page!!

Everything you need to know about Homelands will be written below, so please read through carefully before applying!

What are Homelands?

A Homeland is a Phish-Keeper assigned region that acts as an individual community, with a usually small to mid sized group of individuals that live and thrive together in that shared space! These P-K’s will act like a family, and will actively help each other out when there is trouble or to protect their space and the creatures that live there with them.

When a Phish-Keeper is choosing their Homeland, they will think about the best environment to suit both their Companion and themselves, often being drawn to a location based on a habitual instinct transferred emotionally through their Companion!

Choosing a Homeland for your Phish-Keeper will grant special perks, based on the Homeland they choose, that can be applied when completing Quests, Prompt art, personal art and even commissions!

Below are a few of the currently researched Homelands, and a small description of their localized microclimates and habitat types.

Homelands

Tuoko Reef

Salt Water

Tropical climate, consisting of a long strip of pink sandy beach, shallow to medium-level water and teeming amounts of wild fish and sea life. Mutations from common species are plentiful in this zone.

"This vast reaching, warm water reef is teeming with life; from the giant, coloured corals, kelp, and reeds that gather along this reef’s floor to the various tropical Phish-Keeper, who carefully craft their dens within the foliage and rock formations among the sand."


Lily Lagoon

Fresh Water

Mild to cool fresh water internal land lagoon, within a dense forested area. This particular area is home to a multitude of giant fish, frogs, and insects, and has regular periods of heavy rain & storms.

"With it’s cool, clear water and low salt content, this expansive lagoon is the perfect place for fresh-water fish & insects to thrive, and fresh-water Phish-Keepers to make their dens. Floating at the surface of the water are giant lily pads that tower over the rest of the lagoon, dappling the shallow sandy floor with speckled shade during the day, and letting glowing moon-beams in at night."


Hollow Cavern

Salt Water

A large, deep crevice filled will cold saltwater, homing a plethora of bioluminescent animals and plant life.

"Deep within the cracked walls of this massive underwater cavern, live the deep ocean-dwelling life forms and deep ocean Phish-Keepers who are used to the low light levels and near-freezing temperatures. With its looming reeds that seem to grow beyond the ceiling of the cavern, to the bioluminescent & glowing foliage interwined within the walls and ocean life threading sparkling patterns within the water, this dark world is unlike any other."


Redwood Rocks

Fresh Water

Mild to warm fresh water lake with several medium-sized waterfalls along one side of the cliff surrounding it and a few small lakes that lead into wider rivers. Nestled in the middle of a gargantuan redwood tree forest, this spot is a hotspot for ancient species and giant sizes.

"Shrouded in the dense red bark of gigantic redwood trees and thick coverage from the foliage, and the multitude of external rives that lead to this spot, large numbers of migratory fish and ancient creatures call this fresh water lake home. Salmon can often be seen during breeding season scaling the many waterfalls that pepper the cliffs surrounding the area, and larger than normal specimens are a common occurrence here."


Arctic Trenches

Salt Water

Freezing cold temperatures and salty ocean water, this zone regularly freezes over and only the hardiest of creatures like to stay located here. Little plant life, but large number of nocturnal, bioluminescent, and predatory species are common here.

"Littered across the surface of the frigid ocean water in this freezing area are gigantic sheets of ice, thick enough to easily support a thousand Phish-Keepers or more. Diving below these white behemoths reveals large, deep creeks plunging below where the light can travel successfully, where the weirdest and wackiest of creatures live."


The Deep Dark

Salt Water

Cool to cold salt water ocean, this biome is the darkest and deepest of any known Phish-Keeper location. 

"Down below the surface of the water, where even the sunlight struggles to travel, is the strange climate of the Deep Dark. With a thick, dense pressure and large brine ponds littered across the barren sandy floor, this zone is full of hazards and means that Phish-Keepers must rely on their hardy bodies and adaptive senses to survive to the fullest."


Leviathan Whale Fall

Salt Water

Cool to cold salt water ocean, this biome is nestled in amongst a giant Phish-Keeper skeleton. 

"Resting at the bottom of the ocean, tucked in an undersea canyon, the ancient remains of a gargantuan P-K and their whale companion lay. Steam vents keep the area warm, and promote foliage growth, making the area a prime spot for scavenger Phish-Keepers and their companions, who form their dens in the cliffs surrounding the skeleton. Some say they can see the skeleton’s ghost in the darkness when the nights get long."


Sekuoyah Kelp Forest

Salt Water

Cold, nutrient-rich salt water dominated by large forests of thick kelp that reaches all the way to the water’s surface, one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems. Salt-water mammals are prevalent here.

"Kelp forests are filled with a wide array of kelp and other algae. This particular kelp forest boasts the tallest kelp with large, red stems. With all this food and shelter, you can find everything from the tiny nudibranchs to giant sea bass, making it a perfect place for mammalian Phish-keepers who need to eat a lot to keep warm."


Cinder Beach

Salt Water

Igneous tidepools and a black sand beach are the striking features of this location.

"On the black-sanded shore of a long inactive volcanic island, lays a series of tide pools formed by the igneous rocks of an age-old eruption. These tide pools serve as a home for many crustacean, and mollusk Phish Keepers and their companions, who spend much time out of the water. During the breeding season, the beach will be covered with sea turtles, returning to lay their eggs on the sand."


Open Ocean Dwellers

Salt Water

Phish-Keepers of this type are migratory, and do not usually settle in one spot for long periods of time. Instead, they choose to travel into different regions regularly and have ties with multiple different Phish-Keeper clans at a time.


Coming Soon!

New regions may be added as they are discovered.

Phish-Keepers can switch their Homeland if they feel like a different region is better suited!

Phish-Keeper Companion: Crownfin Betta

Requested Homeland: Lily Lagoon

Why would you like to join this Homeland?: Glass and her companion are freshwater, and the other freshwater biome seemed maybe a bit out of place for her as she's not a migratory critter. Her companion's species normally resides in still or slow moving water in Thailand (I may be wrong a bit but meh lol). I think the lagoon is best fitted for this small freshwater PK!

Phish-Keeper: Amithelia

Phish-Keeper Companion: Butterfly Goldfish

Requested Homeland: Lily Lagoon

Why would you like to join this Homeland?: Ami loves the lighting of the lagoon; how the noontime sun shines low through the water and sends the debris swished by her tail through the sunbeams to glitter like real gold. She adores the sound of rain on the rubbery tops of the lilypads, and decorates her den with the fallen blossoms. Her companion, Greta, likes to nibble on the leaves and roots of the lilypads, and both adore watching frogs and insects go about their business in the world above.

Phish-Keeper: Wylie

Phish-Keeper Companion: Bluntnose Sixgill Shark

Requested Homeland: Hollow Cavern

Why would you like to join this Homeland?: Swimming unnoticed in the shallows above a deep pit, Wylie decides to investigate deeper, farther into the rocky caves. Underneath the surface, where the shallows stop and the water darkens, he finds a world full of animals that would dislike the light above. The sharp crags and cliffs in the caverns call to him; hiding places to explore and call his own. After all, what more could he wish for than to cultivate a life down here, among luminescent plankton and small, silvery fish?
