Hi, my name is Adrian.

I'll get to the stuff most people probably viewed this for, my confusions. First, how long do creatures take to age into adulthood from their egg stage? I found an egg when I was exploring and would like to know when I can see it hatch. Second, do they have markings when they hatch, or are they plain? Most other sites I go on, you have to add markings to first generation creatures yourself by use of items. Would be pretty cool if this site was different in that way, but I won't be disappointed either way. Thanks for the answers :)!

Now, for a little bit about me since this is the introduction board and not the help board :p.
Like I said at the top, my name is Adrian and I am a 16 year old girl who's trying to pretend that she doesn't only have 1 more year left to figure out what I want to do with her life. I love music and can play the guitar and clarinet (it's been a while since I touched my clarinet though) and I have been thinking about purchasing a keyboard and learning that too. Petsites like this are a fun pastime to me, the other site that I am on most often is Flight Rising.
Like I said, I love music, and not only playing it, but listening to it too. My favorite genres are psychedelic rock, shoegaze, dream pop, space rock, indie rock, indie pop, you get the trend here ;). As for favorite bands, I am very fond of both STRFKR and of Montreal, but I enjoy lots of other artists and groups too, including but not limited to Beach House, Slowdive, Pink Floyd, Foster The People, Two Door Cinema Club, Portugal. The Man, etc. etc....
That's about it. I am enjoying it here so far even though the tutorial was kind of tedious. Looking forward to spending more time here. This place has earned a spot in my bookmarks.

Hey there ^^ Welcome! I'm Kate, I have been here for about 3 years so if you every have questions I would be happy to answer! Speaking of which! I'm going to answer your Current questions ^^

From an egg do believe It is about 28 days to reach adulthood If you look on the profile of the pet there is a number somewhere That lets you know how close it is I believe, it's a bit new bit useful.

Some tamed eggies can have visible traits but they often at least have one carried, but you can tame first gen pets that have visible while exploring

I am a Senior in collage and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up so don't stress it too much It all works out as you go ^^

Thanks so much for all this info! Good to know. I just did the tutorial for traps so I'll see if I can manage to snag a cool creature :-). (And it's a little comforting to know that you're still not sure what you want to do with your life either :p.. hopefully we both find our ways eventually) Thanks again!

No worries ^^ and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon
