Graude Foundation Adoption Center was a website for adoptables. It had an Spanish and English version, which isn't archived. In the gallery section you could find small fanarts of Saint Seiya characters in chibi version, drawn by Xtina and Verena. Each image was sized 113x107px. The page was popular before social media, when highly customizable personal websites were the norm. Owners added new characters every couple of months, being the last batch of characters Young Dohko, Markino, Radamanthys, Orphee and Charon.
At some point around 2005, the website stopped being updated and remained online until Geocities was closed. None of the images on the page have been archived, although some of them are still preserved on adopter websites.
Web introduction
Welcome prospective adoptive parent!This is the Graude Foundation Adoption Center. We have many mini saints waiting for someone to give them love and cuddles. Be nice and don't leave your favorite saint here alone. ^O^
If you are interested, go to the Gallery to get your chosen one, and read the How to Adopt section, where you will find the conditions.
Unfortunately, we cannot meet the request of some of our visitors to give adult characters up for adoption... they are already of legal age and won't allow it. ^^U
Thanks for your visit ^___^
Rules
Have you decided? Good! ^_^The rules are simple. You must first deposit one million euros into our checking account #4563 005 12 0008741. Nah, just kidding :P
Terms:
1. You must have an active web page where you can put the images. This is an obvious requirement, we think, but just in case, better write it down.
2. Choose your saint in the Gallery and save the image to upload it to your server. Do not hotlink the image directly from our server because, apart from eating up our bandwidth, Geocities does not allow it.
3. Link the image to http://www.geocities.com/graude_fund/
4. Done! You are now a proud aoptive parent!
REMEMBER: Keep them out of the sun, don't get them wet and never feed them after midnight :P
