Picking the Perfect Partner [Masterpost]
This is a little guide to reading the bios of the Bara adoptables, the matchmaking process, and how to tell if a Bara is right for you!
Reading the Bara Bios
Each Bara Breed comes with a short bio that explains the general personality of such breed--though some may differ slightly due to the things that make every living being unique, these are what MOST Baras of that breed are like.
Let's break it down:
Handling Level: How easy it is to tame or upkeep this Bara
Easy: Little to no effort, they aren’t particularly difficult. Like cats. Do not mistake this as meaning they don’t need love and attention, though!
Medium: Need the same amount of thought and care as a working romantic relationship--communication is key and they are prone to hurt feelings if neglected.
High: Need extra attention and validation. Not children, but certainly insecure in relationships to the point that constant reassurance and proper care is a must--do not adopt if you cannot provide!
Attachment: How dependent on your company or territorial this Bara will be.
Low: A Low attachment Bara isn’t uncaring, they just are independent and could be re-homed if necessary. Very friendly with everyone.
Medium: Medium attachment Baras are independent to a point but generally become used to you very quickly. Will clearly favor these sort of attachments over others, but polite.
High: High attachment Baras are needier and/or would become heartbroken if returned or re-homed. Definitely favor these attachments/are protective of them, will likely die of a broken heart if abandoned or if their owner dies.
Likes: What this bara likes to do, eat, etc. Can vary widely even within the same breed.
Dislikes: The same, except with things they don't like
General personality: How MOST Baras of this breed tend to be like--personalities, work ethic, more in-depth look at the rest of the things discussed in these bios.
Matchmaking
If you aren't sure which Bara is right for you, if you have an idea but want to see what I say, or if you're just curious, matchmaking is a complementary service offered alongside your adoption.
The Matching Process
Decide what trinkets you are going to present to the ceremony. If you have a breed in mind, make sure you know it.
Match questionnaire:
A little about yourself and what you’re looking for in a partner (romance/friendship/possibly both/familial relationship)
The trinkets you’ve brought (up to three small items and gifts that represent you as a person and your interests)
If you have one, a type of Bara you’ve been considering.
I will prioritize paid customers and non-anon first! I will consider your answers and tell you:
If the requested Bara is a good fit for what you need
If there are other matches equally or better suited, if any.
Then you pick, I roll up their quirks and items, and get a portrait and short bit of Flavor text introducing you to your unique adoptable!
Questions to ask yourself
It's important to know what we're looking for in a partner, so here are some questions you can ask yourself when perusing the options:
Am I looking for a platonic, familial, romantic, or sexual connection? Will I be upset with my Bara if I do not get it? Is this subject to change over time?
What do I need from my Bara? Am I looking for emotional support? Financial? Physical?
What am I willing to give to my Bara? Am I capable of caring for extreme personalities, or do I need a Bara that generally has all their ducks in a row?
How attached do I get? Would a high attachment Bara be stifling? Would a low attachment one feel distant and hurt me?
Do I want more than one Bara? Do I need one that plays well with others or would it be fine as just the two of us?
Of course there are many important things to consider when meeting your new best friend, but I hope this guide makes it a little easier!
