Welcome to the imaginary world of Gemstone Guardians!
This place is all about imagination, creativity and having fun together in many different ways and my goal in this introduction is trying to explain very shortly how things work and what your options are from here.
Firstly everyone is welcome but please notice you need a Guardian to actively play the game.
Guardians are addressed as a “species” but in reality it’s just a term to include all original characters active in this game. So they are a bunch of designs coming from the same world, but none of them are 100% alike and all come with their own reference sheets. Among different designs you will see liniage names or other info about how a specific type of Guardian was made and where it comes from.
So Gemstone Guardians is a united term for all creatures in this group.
Guardians are designed only by myself, Ravica. I will sell the designs through our galleries when new ones are available, so please watch the group for updates.
Once you own a Guardian you can play the game.
The game takes place in a fantasy based world with multiple levels of activity and many possibilities of forming the story yourself as a player.
Static Play is a term we use for non-roleplay-activity. Meaning quests and adventures set up by the group where interaction with others is not necessary. For those who are not interested in roleplaying Static Play is the way to go, as you can play and draw in any pace you like. You can do the different tasks when and if you choose.
In the static part you can:
- train, breed, buy and sell creatures
- earn special items and create things
- learn and evolve
- enjoy a slow paced game
- take challenges when you choose
- become a ranked player
- ignore any part of the world story that does not interest you
Social Play is the term we use for actively taking part in roleplaying aspects. The roleplay is the story that you guys write together. All roleplay must take the original world, lore and other group created stuff into consideration and players can not randomly create Gods or expand the map. But otherwise you truly help decide the fate of us all.
In the roleplay you can:
- fall in love and start a family with OC kids that resemble you.
- become a warrior and help save us all from Chaos
- join the dark side and be a Chaos villain
- ignore all the evil and play with a small group of friends
- learn and evolve
- have fun in a social environment
- enjoy a more fast paced game
- be part of those who make and change history
And the best part is that you can enjoy both version and don’t have to select a specific side. So you decide how to make this game work for you, which parts you want to enjoy and which parts you wish to ignore.
Play just to relax and have fun - or play to be in the rankings, collect items and work to reach goals one by one. It’s up to you!
Gemstones and items, and generally collecting, creating and upgrading, is another big part of the game worth mentioning in this intro. There are a ton of different way to gather items and I constantly aim to add new stuff. Items collected are used to build or invent new stuff that gives you benefits in the game.
And gemstones hold all your power as an OC. It helps determine both who your character is, what you can do and what role you hold in this world. And instead of forcing something on you, you get to decide on your own what you want and in what direction you are evolving - and you get there by learning skills and collecting stuff!
And that is the basic perimeter of this group game.
So as you can see YOU help make the game!

Can I change my Guardian?
No, you can not change your design.
The design is what it is - only Ravica (https://www.deviantart.com/ravica) can create and alter designs.
So buy a Guardian you like!
You can NOT
- have your design changed after it was uploaded
- "fix" markings and colors on the design yourself
- trade an existing character into a new design. If I or the group is looking to buy designs we will set up a post about it, but we do not buy characters that already active in the game play, only characters that haven't really be used in the group yet. And again only if I ask to buy some ...
- kill off your character and get a new free design
- pay Ravica to "fix" a design (you have to buy a n
Getting a Guardian
To get a Gemstone Guardian you first need to understand how they come to exist.
Because Guarians don't just mate and make babies. They are ... created!
The Biology:
GGs are unable to have babies the regular way. They do sometimes find a mate for life and have sexuality based on love, pleasure and just to bond. But it is extremely rare for them to actually succeed in becoming pregnant and carry out a pregnancy to full term. The biology of GGs is a little funky just because it is not uncommon for them to be hermaphrodites besides having normal male and female genitalia.
The reason for this is actually very simple:
Gemstone Guardians
Shapeshifting / Anthro form
Unless specificly stated otherwise on the adoptable itself all Gemstone Guardian have a minimum of two shapes.
So what you find om the design reference is multiple shapes for the same character - NOT multiple characters.
Often you will have a feral shape AND the anthro version of same creature.
You may use both shapes in the game world and outside of it, but only as a single character that changes - not two individual characters.
Shapeshifting between 2 or 3 primary forms is a common type of magic in the game world.
It is painless, quick and easy!
NPC Creatures
Non-Player-Characters
are different creatures that roam our game world that you may use in your art and storylines without asking first.
A few are owned by the group and can not be killed. Those have specific designs, info on personality and how you can use them.
Others are more general NPCs like for an example:
Your character eats a wild mouse.
That mouse doesn't belong to any players and you can feel free to grill it as you please.
Just don't use any real living mice, cause ... they are cute ^^"
Or your OC runs into a forest creature, maybe a Klirik Ram.
But this ram exist only as a design in your head and is owned by nobody.
So you
