Description
"On this bright and sunny day, seemingly without warning or fanfare, a dashingly handsome, capable stranger has arrived ashore.
It seems he has a quest for you! A marvelous quest, and a generous reward awaits anyone who dares assist him in his daring venture!
Won't you lend a hand to such a humble and very-very-very smart Chimereon such as he? Won't you aid him in his—"
The mysterious blue Chimereon, who has been speaking quite loudly in third person all this time, is suddenly interrupted
by a loud, irate thunk of a finned tail on the impressive tank behind him. In the large glass thing floats a beautiful, shimmering Chimereon,
unlike anything you've ever seen before. Their body ends not in legs, but in a long, flowing fish tail--a Mercham. You've heard tales, but never seen one for yourself.
The other Chimereon—the one with all limbs very much accounted for—grumbles under his breath and suddenly points his cutlass towards your nose horn.
"I'll keep this short, bucko. The name's Rokusho. I've got somewhere to be with this here pretty thing. A merchant port, across the sea to the north.
I landed here on account of needing some crew members to help make the journey a little less... lonely.
Not 'difficult,' because I am very capable on my own! Very!! Just... you know. Could use a few friends along to sing sea shanties with."
He lowers the sword, blinking as he sizes you up, and seems to nod. You'll do for the job, his look seems to say,
and with a flourish of confidence he draws his cape around himself and spins around on his heel to face the wooden ship docked on shore.
"Wasn't jokin' about that reward. If you help me out, I'll compensate you. And... if you're lucky, I might toss one of my rarer wares your way.
See you on board!"
As he marches on his way, back towards the ship, the Mercham in the tank turns their eyes towards you.
They glance over their shoulder, then lean in close, pressing their front paws to the glass. Their voice is quiet, barely audible behind water and glass.
"You there—please, listen to me. You have a trustworthy face, and also, you're all I've got right now.
My name is Marin, and I've lost something very important to me. I can't get out of here and back to my home without it. It's..."
The Mercham pauses, their eyes darting to the ship, then back to you, speaking much quicker now.
Their gaze, sharp and almost hypnotic, doesn't waver as they stare you down.
"It's a very powerful item. A blessed piece of coral. I can use it to escape, and teach that horrid poacher a lesson.
If you help me... and swear to keep it a secret... I'll reward you. Maybe, I'll let you have a little piece of the item.
I think the poacher must have taken it and hidden it away somewhere on that ship.
Would... would you please help me?"
Hello all! We're happy to introduce a new mini-event that will introduce two of our Chimereon NPCs.
This event STARTS right now.
This event ENDS on July 1st, at 12:59 am EST.
(This gives you one full week to complete your entry!) SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY HERE!
www.deviantart.com/chimereons/…
Please read the following rules thoroughly! In this event you will choose an NPC to help—Rokusho the Merchant, or Marin the Mercham.
Complete one of the prompts given via either art or writing!
All entries must include links to the masterlist entries of each chimereon involved. Including the npcs!
You can only submit ONE entry.
As with all events, your account must be 5 months old or older to enter.
All participants on either side will receive Beetoles as an automatic prize, and will get more depending on amount of effort (see below)
At the end of this event, there will be a total of two raffles drawn, with three winners each.
What can you win from these raffles? Well, that's a secret! The amount of effort put into your drawing / writing is what determines how many raffle tickets you get!
FOR ART ENTRIES:
- At least one colored fullbody, sketchy lines, no shading, solid/transparent background - 1 raffle ticket + 2 beetoles
- At least one colored fullbody, clean lines, shading, solid/transparent background - 2 raffle tickets + 4 beetoles

- 500 words - 1 raffle ticket + 2 beetoles
- 1000 words - 2 raffle tickets + 4 beetoles
- 1500 words - 3 raffle tickets + 8 beetoles
And finally, the prompts!
ROKUSHO - Draw / write your Chimereon assisting Rokusho on his ship in any way they can! What role do they take on?
Alternatively, have your Chimereon interacting with Rokusho in some way!
MARIN - Draw / write your Chimereon looking for Marin's stolen blessed coral item , hidden somewhere on Rokusho's ship.
Alternatively, have your Chimereon interacting with Marin in some way! Choose your side wisely! Depending on which NPC gets more helpers, the lore of these two will change!
I don't have a Chimereon! Can I still enter this event?
Yes! As long as your account is 5 months old, you can look here:

is it alright to write in the POVs of the NPCs instead of my own/someone else's cham?
e.g. Draw / write Marin looking for her stolen blessed coral item , hidden somewhere on Rokusho's ship.

ahh no sorry, it needs to be your Chimereon because Marin is trapped in a tank, and is therefore unable to search for the coral by themselves as per the prompt

Spyromancy In reply to Windinz [2019-06-24 08:40:42 +0000 UTC]
It can have some images! You'll be rewarded for whatever is highest in value-- a 500 word story with an image that's clean lines + shaded + BG will be worth 3 tickets

Windinz In reply to Spyromancy [2019-06-24 10:36:16 +0000 UTC]
Alright! Same with the 1000 and 1500 then?

Spyromancy In reply to Windinz [2019-06-24 17:21:35 +0000 UTC]
Yup! Alternatively if you make a 1500 word story with only a colored sketch to supplement it, you'd receive 3 tickets for the 1500 story!

I cannot add my journal to the entry folder. Where else should I post it?
Journal \/\/
A Mysterious Merchant // Writing EntrySammy walked onto the boat, gazing at her surroundings. ‘Rusty,’ she thought, ‘they really need to clean up around here.’ She spotted a blue Chimereon with slightly intimidating features, and walked up to him. “Hey.” Sammy tapped his shoulder. The stranger slightly jumped and looked back at her with a look of surprise.
“The name’s Sammy. Guessing you’re the owner of this boat?” She gestured to the symbol on his stomach and the cape he was wearing. “Rokusho. Yes, I own this pretty ship. Feel free to look around.” He gave her a happy look.
“Also, I’ve been looking to have a companion with me on my trip.” Rokusho’s eyes suddenly widened, “I AM capable, but, you know..— uhm.. If you help, I could maybe give you a reward?” He offered. Sammy averted her eyes.
Sammy was looking at a glass tank — with a Chimereon inside! She dashed over and locked eyes with a me

For add journals on groups you have to go to the journal and click add to group and type the name of the group you want to put it cuz doing it directly on group you cant, its the same for desktops too

So, I posted a journal, and it wont post to the folder for my writing entry? How do I get it submitted to the group so I'm able to get my raffle tickets and beetoles?
www.deviantart.com/darkfang193… is the journal.

Spyromancy In reply to Darkfang193 [2019-06-24 03:31:32 +0000 UTC]
Normally you'd go to your journal, look for "Featured in Groups" on the right side of the screen (scroll down a bit) and hit Add to a Group and find our group / the correct folder. Is it faulty for you?
Either way, I've sent a request!

You can participate. There is a comment that is linked in the description where other users could post their chams for users that don't have a cham to use in this event.

Just a small question concerning the mercham, Since they are aquatic, there are suppose to be gills correct? If so then where are the gills on her? I cant seem to see them on her. It may be because of her color palette or something but if i can get told the place where they are that would be helpful/nice! <3

Urocyongrey In reply to C0RV3X [2019-06-23 23:13:41 +0000 UTC]
Their gills are not obvious so I never added them since you generally wont see them.

Alright, Thanks for telling me. Just to be extra sure she has no gills correct?

Gills are common for Aquatic chams so you can draw them on Marin!

Darkfang193 [2019-06-23 20:27:29 +0000 UTC]
I have a question regarding the writing prompts. So, I'm doing the first option with Rokusho, but as a task, can I somehow "merge" the prompts with the main cham I'm using to write with finds another cham trying to steal the coral?
