How is your Keep organized? Messily xD I have a system but only I can figure it out I bet xD
Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any? Most of mine are unnamed but I do name some on occasion. The ones that are named are after anime or just whatever came to mind when looking at them.
What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist? I want to be a completionist....but I collect the scorpions mainly (I'm a scorpio)
Do you do creature armies? If I do....its accidental (mainly the freebies from chucking stuff during the holidays)
Do you do quests? Ive done all the ones that I was online for besides face changer and the herb and water shop ones :3
Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them? I have one lineage but other than that no.

"In-Character"
Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)? Not really?
Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures? Nope
Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature? I dont have any particular favorite...but I do like some more than others :3

How is your Keep organized?
By army divisons, I read the descriptions of each creature and imagine which war division they fit in based on their abilities. The Crown Generals are the exception as they are my Doni collection.
Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?
I used to name them randomly but I've stopped now.
What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?
Donis!
Do you do creature armies?
My whole Keep is an army, so yes I guess?
Do you do quests?
When I can.
Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?
I'm indifferent to them most of the time

• How is your Keep organized?
  I have/am sorting them in tabs named after the real life animal wiki.
  So all the sharks, rays and eels are kept seperate the dog types ectr ectr. Was barely halfway through when I got distracted by life.
• Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?
  I am busy naming all my creatures. With most I try to follow a b c for the critters. (name starting with an A for a male and a female. Then a name with a B for a male and female)
  At other times I will switch it up. All my goldfish will be named gold in different languages.
• What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?
  I am kind of ocd with them. I just want to have 10 breeding pairs of each type of creature. With a tendency to try that with parentless versions of hybrids too.
• Do you do creature armies?
  Not really. I do end up with some armies, Baku, hallowjack, amberspice mouse ectr by buying and events.
  But they are mostly for sale.
• Do you do quests?
  Yus, only way to get certian creatures. Well for more or less free anyway.
• Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?

I have a few lineages, but I get bored with them real fast.


"In-Character"

• Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?
  Not really.
• Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?
  Yes. There was a user started game with finishing mini quests or something like that.
  Was years ago.
  For that I created personalities for 3 of my creatures.
• Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?

Not really.

How is your Keep organized?
By area, like areas I think the keep would have, like the living quarters, rooftops, lake, pasture, ect, but I do have more technical tabs for utility and such.

Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?
Some, it kinda depends.

What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?
I collect what I like, i'm not a completionist.

Do you do creature armies?
I am armying pearl wyrms and puvia because they're what got me into the site and I also am armying minicorns to go with my first doni ever, a unicorn I bought because I felt like it
I didn't even particularly care for the OG light unicorns but for some reason the hatchling in marta's sale clicked with me and I decided to buy it, they've really grown on me and I can't help but smile when I look at a minicorn's side art so that worked out.

Do you do quests?
Yes, I wish there where more quest creatures on the site, we don't have enough!

Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?
Yes, I created several lineages and am planning more
And i've made my own crests with photoshop, most of them are sprite/side art based but I made one by hand, It's not great but it looks alright for my level of skill so that's progress I guess, still can't draw well enough for my raven lineage's crest idea I have though.

"In-Character"
Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?

Nope, I've thought of making one but I decided not to.

Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?
Not really but I do sometimes imagine that my Alcelon and Emperor phoenix have a rivalry going because they're both birds that think themselves royalty that are in my "living quarters" tab, I sometime imagine them trying to out-do one another and getting super jealous of each-other whenever the other get any kind of admiration.
*aggressively posing majestically at opponent*

It's silly but it amuses me to think about.

Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?
Nope, nope, and there are too many species I love to truly decide but Blue Emperor phoenixes are probably my favorite (much to the dismay of my Alcelon^)

• How is your Keep organized?
  I sort the creatures into tabs that I named after some places from fantasy series/movies/books that more or less fit/might fit the creatures. (e.g. The neverending story, The Chronicles of Narnia, Armans Secret)
• Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?
  I try to give them all names. But there are just too many that it will take time.
  Partly I just take the names that come to my mind spontaneously. But I also use certain names for some creatures. For example, I name my potootos after potato varieties.
• What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?
  Lineage creatures. And Elk-, deer-, rat-, wolf-, dog-, cat-, fish-, whale-, bird-, horse-like creatures.
• Do you do creature armies?
  White Elks. And Corazin, Cervinus Deer, Direcores, Silvan Narasad, Potootos, Latifra Beast, Decessus, Brown/Olive/Silver Amagnae...
• Do you do quests?
  yes
• Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?
  I love to create and breed lineages. Currently I have 85 lineages of my own and a few others that I have taken on. And many lineage creatures from other users.

• Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?
  Not really.
• Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?
  Sometimes. But nothing detailed.
• Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?
  Yes. "Mascot": my Mist Stalker Castiel, keep Guardians: 2 Lycanthropes, a Tasharn and a White Keep Rat.
  I have more than one favorite creature. ^^ e.g. the Tasharn, Keep Rat, and the Chain White Elks.

Fun thread! To first answer the question in the title - I primarily don't. However, I get nostalgic and come back every October or so.

How is your Keep organized?

• Very haphazardly. My main tab is a combination of unsorted stuff and some creatures that are/were of personal importance, then I have self-explanatory Pairs and Misc tabs, and then beyond that it's categorized by interest (ex. emerald/ruby wyvern army, extinct animals, holly jackalopes for some reason)

Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?

• A few; I've always found there are too many to name. I'm also too picky, so even some very cool creatures that I like a lot have gone unnamed.

What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?

• I like bats, dragons, dinosaurs, birds and Spooky Stuff. Historically I've also prioritized earth- and nature-related creatures. I am very much not a completionist lol

Do you do creature armies?

• Casually? There's the aforementioned emerald-plus-ruby wyvern army, and some of my category tabs double as armies or contain very small ones (like the Belfry).

Do you do quests?

• I kept up with them when I was active. You don't get a Spinosaurus (well, the other one) without a little elbow grease.

Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?

• I start lineages every so often when a fun theme occurs to me (e.g. von Count ambula bats, osseo arachnids named after Mystery Skulls songs/albums). I used to be very ~creative~ with names and history for lineages, but the results were always kind of lame.
• Similarly, I have members of other people's fun themed lineages, some of which I've named and bred and some of which sit there and make me mildly guilty when I look at them.

Do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?

• For a while I did. I made a very short-lived attempt at a Keep Story™, I took part in an MS-world roleplay thread somebody did years ago, aaand yeah. I/he was an earth mage, of course, because earth and nature/plantlife/whatever were affinities I gravitated toward at that age.

Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?

• Maybe, but I don't remember.

Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?

• The mascot-guardian role is filled by Shiranui the light raiju, despite him being a lightning dog instead of something more on-brand. And if I had to pick a favorite... it's probably a tie between my original emerald wyvern, Leafwing, and my sanus Runegleam, with an honorable mention for Wormwood the amarth alagos. He's right there in my signature, and amarth alagos will always be incredibly rad.

General
How is your Keep organized?

• Not very well, admittedly. I really need to try to reorganize it. Right now I've got a few creatures that I really like grouped together in animal-groups, but I think I may differentiate it a little more.

Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?

• I name the ones I really like! I really need to go through and name some more. I don't always name them right away, and sometimes I forget.

What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?

• Mostly creatures of the different types of animals that I like, or a doni that catches my eye. I'm definitely not a completionist.
  I do prefer to have a male and female pair if I can get them, but only if they have sprite differences.

Do you do creature armies?

• I don't usually, but I sort of accidentallied myself two smallish armies, a Komainu Crystalwing one and a Blushing Charubi one.

Do you do quests?

• Not really anymore, unless I like the creature and it is new. I have in the past though.

Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?

• It depends. I like to create lineages if I get an idea, but I mostly avoid buying them from others.

"In-Character"
Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?

• Yes, I used to! I really need to revamp this character, and maybe someday get some art of him. I always dreamed of writing a 'keep story' back when those were popular, but I never got around to writing it.

Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?

• Yes I have! Mostly for lineaged creatures, and my Amarth Alagos back when I was plotting a Keep Story.

Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?

• Yes, my Amarth Alagos. :3

[Tyrannogon]

How is your Keep organized?
It's not the most creative, but it's mainly organized by where the creature came from. Such as Stream, Quest, Koi Pond, etc.

Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?
Not usually, I'm terrible at naming things.

What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?
My favourites are anything dinosaur or dragon related, but I try to get at least one of every non-donation creature if I can.

Do you do creature armies?
Kind of, not actively. But I collect dinosaur creatures like Tiexos Ixsu.

Do you do quests?
I do, I think I've done most of them.

Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?
No, I've never really thought about it.

Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?
Sort of, not in-depth, though. But whoever they are, they specialize in dinosaur-like creatures.

Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?
I don't believe so.

Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?
Most of my dinosaur creatures, especially my Tiexos Ixsus!

General
How is your Keep organized?
Honestly, I organize my groups by vibes alone! A few have vague themes; Acxiom is loosely based off of Rivendell, and several others are based loosely off of friends or fictional characters.

Do you name some/all/none of your creatures? If so, what kind of naming conventions do you follow, if any?
I love giving my creatures names! I don't really have any naming conventions, but if I'm planning to breed a pair together or start a lineage I try to give them corresponding names.

What kind of creatures do you collect? Do you have any preferences, or are you a completionist?
I definitely have a soft spot for birds and bats! Other than that, I just grab whatever happens to catch my eye.

Do you do creature armies?
Not yet, but I might start a Meep army soon...

Do you do quests?
I've been working on some!

Do you create/breed lineages, or avoid them?
I've really been enjoying creating lineages recently!

"In-Character"
Weird question, but do you have a "magisona" or sorts, or some other kind of avatar you imagine yourself as in-game (like when doing quests or whatnot)?
I've never really thought about it.

Have you ever made up personalities for any of your creatures?
Absolutely! I'm almost considering making a powerpoint or something just to write them down.

Do you have a keep guardian/mascot/favorite creature?
If I had to choose, I would pick Rainbow! She was my first creature and quite possibly my favorite one.
