Search and discovery

The Search button on the main menu opens a short list of ways to look for other people using the system. The menu also tells you how many people have been active in the region recently and how many people have registered in total.

Search scopes

Scope	What it shows
Region	Everyone currently active in your region, found two ways: a quick list from recent activity, and an active “ping” that asks nearby users’ companions to respond directly (useful for people your region list hasn’t picked up yet).
Global	Which regions have the most people active right now, so you can decide where to go. Selecting a region offers to teleport you there (if you’re wearing a compatible teleport-assist device).
Online	Every character active anywhere in the last hour, with a link to start an instant message.
Fertile	Same as Online, but narrowed to characters who are currently able to conceive — handy when you’re specifically looking for a breeding partner.
Gardens	A community directory of public locations that landowners have registered as breeding-friendly spots (“gardens” for smaller parcels, “forests” for large regions). Browse the list, see how busy a location has been, and teleport there.
Profiles	Look up a specific character by (part of) their name, regardless of whether they’re currently online.

Character results

Selecting a character from Region, Online, or Fertile results opens a small card with their name, gender, species, and (if they’ve allowed it) their current location. From here, depending on the scope and your relationship with them, you may be able to:

View Profile — see their full character sheet.
Breed — send a breeding request, if you’re both nearby and biologically compatible. See Interaction and Role-Play Lifecycle for how breeding requests and auto-acceptance work.
Adopt — offer an adoption bond (Master/Slave, Owner/Pet, or Parent/Child). See Accounts and Profiles.
Block — exclude that person from your nearby, online, and fertile character results. This does not hide them from the name-based profile lookup or remove their activity from region totals. Blocking only affects your own results; it doesn’t notify the other person or restrict them from finding you through other means.

Character details in web Discover

Where supported by your dashboard, a result can show the character’s saved sexuality and picture. Unspecified details stay empty rather than being inferred from the character’s body. See Optional character identity for editing your own details and their visibility to other people.

A character’s registered species and that species’ recipe are not necessarily their personal ancestry. A descendant can inherit different proportions, or additional species, while retaining the same species name. An ancestry summary describes the character’s own inherited makeup, independently of whom you are comparing them with. A named hybrid can still be a hybrid when its inherited ratios differ from the original recipe.

A definition match compares both species identities and their proportions. It can be unknown even when individual ancestry is known. A different ratio can mean the recipe does not match without changing the character’s hybrid classification.

Incomplete ancestry is not proof of pure breeding. Some known shares may be shown while the overall classification remains unknown. Ancestry can also be available when no match percentage can be calculated. For the inheritance rules and worked examples, see Ancestry and taxonomy.

Match percentages in web Discover

The match percentage compares the result with your active character using the same compatibility calculation as the in-world companion. It includes inherited species overlap, shared taxonomy, forced compatibility, garden and partner bonuses, and form/class differences. Two characters with no shared species ancestry can therefore have a positive match through shared taxonomy. Where offered, open the match explanation to see how each factor changes the running total. The contributions are percentage-point changes applied in order; raw factor percentages should not be added together. The explanation can name the shared species and related classifications that contribute positively, but it is not a complete ancestry list: a species with no contribution to this particular match can still be part of the character’s ancestry.

The value is an estimate for the two profiles; conception involving a particular ovum can differ because the ovum’s donor and stored traits are used there.

Register a garden or forest

You can register land you personally own, or land deeded to the group you have active while wearing your companion. Stand on the parcel and open Gardens. The parcel description must include AnE and its area must be at least 2,048 square metres:

Parcels below 32,768 square metres register as a Garden; larger parcels register as a Forest.
New listings start private and use your current position as the arrival point. Make the listing public when you want others to find it.
Once registered, you can rename it, mark it public or private, set (or update) the exact spot visitors are teleported to, or remove the listing entirely.
Listings you manage are ranked in the browse list by how much recent activity they’ve seen, so active, welcoming locations surface first.

Where your dashboard offers garden controls, you can also browse public listings and your own private listings, manage your registrations, and request a teleport. Keep the companion connected and teleport assistance enabled for teleporting. Registration and moving the arrival point require standing on the parcel; if you moved or the companion lost contact, return there and refresh. A successful teleport request is not a guarantee of arrival.

Garden controls are separate from character discovery. If an older discovery view reports gardens as unavailable, use the dedicated Gardens panel where offered.
