Here you can make non-cosmetic changes to an uploaded Rukaan's import or transfer them to a new owner.
Please note, personality section is text only and cannot include links.
If the Rukaan is tame and has a profession and a linked handler on their import, this thread can also be used to update the handler's name.

Over the years we've changed the way we record information on a Rukaan's import. Post here to have your Rukaan's import updated to match the current more accessible style. This thread can be used to:
Delete beyond-Marauder "breeding slot earned" comments (if the Rukaan's rune mark reward level is recorded in the rank field of their import and no breeding slots have been posted directly on the breeding slot earned comments)
To have the Rukaan's rune mark reward level posted to their import, please see this thread or it will be done with their next rank validation.
Repost the Rukaan's "Companion" and "Achievement" comments above their breeding permission section
The Rukaan must be at least Thrall level or have a breeding comment on their import
Delete unofficial comments (comments from random users or trackers from previous owners)
To have one or both of these changes applied, reply to >> this comment << with the following form:
Import Cleanup
Link to Import:
Delete beyond-Marauder breeding slot earned comments? (Yes/No)
Repost the Rukaan's "Companion" and "Achievement" trackers over their breeding permission section? (Yes/No)
Anything else? Please specify
Upon transferring a designed import to a new owner, the new owner will receive a Recreation Stone. This stone will be automatically listed in your bank account once a transfer has been completed, and it will be both account bound and Ruk bound. Please note that Rukaan imports won from the group in events or raffles will not come with a recreation stone.
For example, if you receive the import 9572 from a transfer, you will receive a Recreation Stone (AB 9572). The AB denotes account bound, and the import number identifies the Rukaan it is attached to. To apply your Recreation Stone and change the design, go to the Design Approval journal.
A Rukaan's Rune Marks earned with the previous design/owner are still valid as long as they were rolled prior to the design update. Rune marks must be transferred to the new owner's tracker below once a Rukaan is transferred.
All rune marks, ranks and used and unused breeding slots stay with the Rukaan when they are transferred. When transferring a Rukaan, please do not delete their rune mark tracker until the new owner has a chance to get their rune marks transferred.
Please remember that Rukaan obtained from the group for free (by raffle or giveaway) cannot be sold for currency per group rules. Exceptions to this:
- Rukaan obtained from the Adoption Center can only be returned to the adoption center until they have reached Thegn level, at which time they can be sold or transferred to another player.
- Rukaan obtained from an auction or event which required an effort entry and the outcome was judged rather than random may be sold for currency.

After changing owners, use >> this thread << to have your Rukaan's rune marks officially moved from the old tracker to a new one.
This thread may also be used to transfer rune marks from an old tracker to a new one even if the owner has not changed.
Note: please do not post or transfer any rune comments yourself! The admins will move the comments from one tracker to another in an official comment.

Use this area to update your account information to:
- Update your username
- Move to a new account
- Add a side/secondary account to your bank vault
Your username will be updated in your bank vault, adoption center adoptions, and imports. You will need to update the ownership on any undesigned genos by commenting "Transferred to new account USERNAME" from your old account.
Because these transfers are for updating an existing owner and not changing owners, adoption center Rukaan can be updated and no recreation stone will be given.
In case of a new account, request must be posted from the old/primary account or proof of account ownership must be noted to RukaanOfficial.

In some cases, a player may wish to make their Rukaan infertile. Please be aware of the following:
New breeding permissions CANNOT be issued for an infertile Rukaan.
A Rukaan cannot be made infertile if they have any breeding permissions that have been posted but not yet used.
Slots owned by deactivated accounts will not count against this, but please provide a screenshot showing the account has been deactivated for at least 60 days to prove the account is permanently closed. (Deviantart gives users a window of time to reactivate accounts for a certain amount of time after deactivating.)
A Rukaan can be made infertile if they have already bred.
Infertile Rukaan can make use of the Doting trait if they have it.
Infertility can only be removed by:
Using the Rukaan's Marauder level blessing to remove infertility instead of granting a cosmetic blessing
Using an Odin's Eye token

In some cases, a player may wish to decease their character. The following rules apply to deceased Rukaan.
New breeding permissions CANNOT be issued for a deceased Rukaan.
Previously issued breeding permissions to the deceased Rukaan CAN be used after they are declared deceased. If the deceased Rukaan’s owner does not wish for their slots to be used, it is their responsibility to get the owners of the outstanding slots to comment on them agreeing not to use them. The group will not force slot owners to agree to not use outstanding slots.
Equipped items (companions, armor, tack, etc) CANNOT be removed from a Rukaan once they have been deceased.
The Rukaan CANNOT participate in any group functions such as activities, events, prompt sets or ranks. They cannot count towards any bonuses for other Rukaan they are pictured with such as Sociable or Mentor traits. They cannot claim rewards or prizes for activities or events they participated in before being deceased.
The Rukaan CAN still be pictured with other Rukaan as a memory or flashback in pieces submitted to the group. In this case they must include a link to their import and “DECEASED” in place of a submission form so it is clear to our activity admins that they are deceased and cannot be rolled.
A deceased Rukaan CANNOT be transferred to a new owner or undeceased.
The player who owns the Rukaan’s design CAN reuse it for another species if they wish to do so.
Deceasing a Rukaan is a permanent action. If you would like to do so, please send a note to RukaanOfficial with your request and with a link to your Rukaan’s import.
For disposition changes (tame to wild or wild to tame), see the Passage of True Calling.
To add an item, tack, armor or companion to your Rukaan, see the Treasury.
To make a change to your Rukaan’s import image using a cosmetic item, see Design Approval.
