Follow this quick guide to figure out how to get started joining Akeli-Lands!
Akeli-Lands is a group that is driven by member creativity. You will get plenty of prompts to challenge your artsy side, as well as create unique characters!
Akeli-Lands is a very welcoming community where everyone is loved and respected. This group is a place for members of any artistic level, ethnicity, sexuality and gender identity.
Akelis are an evolving species, where you can apply an array of fun upgrades to create the character you've always wanted. Every character has its chance to be unique!
Akeli-Lands is a group that is hosted on DeviantArt and Discord. You will need to have both in order to join the group!
Once you have your accounts, you can join the discord server and start interacting with the staff and other members! There, you can ask for help if needed, as well as get to know the community you will be joining!
New members get 5 FREE MYO slots. These slots aren't all unlocked upon joining the group though. Four of your slots are locked when you start but, once you have your first Keling fully accepted into the group, one slot will unlock every month, for a total of 4 months.
Once you have joined the server, you can now start working on your first Keling! To learn more about Keling creation, you can head to the Keling Creation Guide by pressing the button right below!
Is Akeli-Lands free to join?
Yes.
How many kelings can I create?
Everyone has 5 MYO slots but not all of them are available from the start. Every month after your first keling will become approved, a new slot will become unlocked!
What timezone does the group use?
Akeli-Lands's timezone is EST (UTC-5) (Eastern Standard Time).
Do akis get spent?
No.
Can I do multiple Bi-Weekly Prompts entries?
Yes, you can but you only get the bonus once.
How can I obtain more MYO slots?
There will be an option to buy more MYO slots in the future but for now, you only have the five free slots.
Are Akeli biological creatures?
Yes. They need food and water to survive, just like humans. If any kel were to not have anything to eat, they would die after a week of starvation. You do not have to draw your kel eating something every day so it doesn't die. It is only for story purposes. As a note: They don't have biological sexes!
Can Akeli have a different body mass?
Yes. There will be height charts posted shortly. Not everyone is the same and it is the same with Akeli.
Can Akeli get scars or lose a limb?
Yes, they can, but only with the appropriate upgrade.
How long is a kel lifespan?
I would say around 100 years old but you do not have to follow that logic. You can make your character grow and age at the rate you want.
Do upgrades appear spontaneously, or do they take time to grow in?
It would depend on the artist's choice, but usually, to avoid confusion, once you apply the upgrade it stays on. If you decide to have it "grow in", make sure you have applied it to your kel before starting the process, to avoid any hiccups with mods.
Can I create personal NPCs?
Yes, but any art of them will not count for akis. They should also not be the center focus of an art piece, to avoid confusion.
I don't like my kel, how can I get rid of them?
There are many ways that you can "get rid" of them. You can completely revamp them (name, colours, friends, etc. with the appropriate upgrades) or you can donate the designs to the group and get your slot back. You can kill your kel story-wise and donate the design if you want.
How do donated designs work?
Once you donated a design, staff members will clear your slot and slightly revamp the character and new members will be allowed to buy the designs. You cannot buy a character that you donated.
Design donations are not implemented yet
My kel has been a couple with another member's kel, can they have an egg together?
Yes, your kels will be allowed to have eggs with each other following the breeding guides.
Can I design my kel's egg?
Yes, you can, there will be a tutorial on how to do so soon!
Can I count akis with my RP logs?
Sadly no, RolePlay logs (RP messages) do not count for akis. However, you can rewrite the RP session into a story that can count for akis.
What would happen if a kel's gem were to be cracked or broken?
They would lose the use of magic and often feel strong migraines. A kel's gem is filled with nerves and is the source of their magic.
