Welcome to Gaia! ::

General Information
As the general, jack-of-all trades division, the Mist Hunter training course is a combination of the other divisions' training challenges and also one of the more complicated. The goal of this course is to rescue the princess in the tower. Below her, you'll find yourself confronted with a number of shadowling attackers, and beyond them, a room of only slightly deadly traps. But even should you reach her location, you still need to pick the lock on the manacles holding her in place. Unskilled fiddling with the locks will prove unhealthy for both the princess and yourself. And once that's done, you need to make your way back down through the traps and shadowlings, defending the princess the whole way.

The Miss Taken Tower is one of the most challenging and frustrating courses available.

If you fail: your princess dies, and you are quite possibly KO'd. Senior hunters are observing and will make with a timely rescue as needed.

If you win: the princess will adore you for the rest of her exceedingly brief existence. Peen points for 100% health for you and the Princess, shadowlings fought, going for consecutive rescues.

Definitely not crying.

Almost on my 8th year here so Gaia must be awesome, amirite? Currently I'm in college and my major can change as often as the weather, so I'll probably never graduate. But I'm ok with that. Things to note about me are as follows: + [b]Time is tight[/b] *** [i]Which means art could be a tad late, this is normal. Don't Panic.[/i] + [b]I can't read minds over the internet[/b] *** [i]So don't gimme the ol' "Just draw me something[/i] [insert adjective][i]" TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT[/i] + [b]My prices are what I consider fair[/b] *** [i]I am an ex graphics designer, so I learned how to price myself and my work. Time + Detail = Price. The bigger the time and detail, the higher the price.[/i] + [b]I am an ex pre-law, pre-med, journalist[/b] *** [i]This is irrelevant, but it shows that I have ADD and might forget some details. TELL ME IF I DO! I'll (grumpily, crankily, irritably, unwillingly, unhappily, all other antonyms of happily) fix it![/i] + [b]NO OCCs without visuals please[/b] *** [i]Don't force me to butcher a beloved character that means so much to you. I don't like doing it! I'll do fan art and Gaia Avi art, or any other art, as long as I have a VISUAL reference to work from, text descriptions and I are not getting along.[/i] If after ALLLLLL of that, you're still crazy enough to want to hire me... You, my potential client, are even more insane than I. And I'm ok with that.[/size] [size=18][b][color=black]How this works:[/color][/b][/size] Abridged Form - You read everything, choose to bid or not, then check slot availability. In Depth Rules - There are slots, those are the set amount of arts I will draw. No more, but less if they aren't all filled. Check slot availability and current highest bid to know if a slot is closed or a new on started.
