What is a hybrid?
What is a hybrid?
Hybrids are a species of living beings who belongs to the story Hybrid Lamborghini by Hybrid-Kira. This beings have the body shape of a car, but they have a totally functional organic anatomy, and they have similar intelligence and social behaviour as humans. Hybrids comes in many shapes and colors, but they all share similar features that must be included in your OC in order to be considered a legit hybrid. You can see this quick and ilustrated hybrid anatomy reference to have an overall idea of what to include and avoid to your design:
Species current status
Species current status
Hybrids are a semi-open species; that means everybody is free to make their own OC's as long as they belong to the HybridsDen fandom and follow some design rules (that will be linked ahead) and send their character for approval before using it. The author of H.L. DOES NOT own the rights of ANY of the car brands that are used to base the characters in, but they DO own the rights of the concept of the species and H.L., and they remain the right to put the rules that they find necesary to manage the story and the hybrid species itself.
Hybrids and all H.L. content, including fancharacers can't in any way, be profitable off in any way, this means that you can't buy/sell characters, in-group goods as badges and ranks, or merchandise of either canon material or fancharacter content. However, if you are an artist, and you are commissioned to draw any H.L. related content, you can acept the commission as long as you always state that it belongs to Hybrid-Kira.
Your OC...
Your OC...
MUST...
MUST...
Be a design created by you. Copies and ripoffs will not be tolerated. (In the case you won a hybrid adopt, you adopted a character in the Adoption Center, or someone gived you their design, you will have to give credit to the original artist in all the posts you make about your character)
Respect the anatomy reference linked at the start of the guide.
Must be approved before posting the reference public or make more art about it.
It needs to fit in the official time line in order to be acepted.
CAN...
CAN...
Be a hybrid, or a human. Those are the only two options.
Be a totally new character specially created for this universe, or be an adaptation of an existent OC of yours. For example, you have a character who's original form is a Pixar-style car and you want to give them a "hybrid form", that is completely valid as long as you make the needed changes in their design and backstory to fit well in the context of H.L.
You are free to include them in any alliance you want (Cilt, Vortex, neutral, errand, etc...) Choose wisely.
Your character can include events of the main story in their backstory, and even cameos and interactions with canon characters (the restrictions to these interactions are explained in the dont's)
You can transfer the ownership of your character to other person as long as you notify Kira or any other group admin, and no money has been involved in the transfer.
CAN'T...
CAN'T...
Be any other species aside from human or hybrid.
Belong to a different universe/time line/dimension aside from the one stated in the canon material, neither can be self conscious about other universes.
Hybrids can't be based in famous cars from movies, tv series, videogames, etc. Or in canon characters of H.L. and any fancharacter already registered.
As hybrids are a fully organic species, avoid giving them characteristics that can't be explained as part of their anatomy just as body kits for regular cars, big spoilers, wider tires, or even body parts that don't belong to them, like wings, ears, horns, fur, larger fangs, etc.
Hybrids do not have any kind of magical/supernatural/extrasensorial/demonic powers. Image them as big animals, with human intelligence and the shape of a car. And that's all.
You can't sell designs or make adopts raffles of H.L. OC's. If you wish to put a character in adoption or adopt one, consult the Adoption Center rules.
In the case you decide to make your OC a Cilt citizen, you can't include any of the Cilt ranks in their reference sheets and designs. These ranks has to be obtained with a training that is explained here: How to obtain your Cilt ranks
Your OC can't, in any way, alter or modify the main story of H.L. Also, is not allowed to the fancharacters to have any kind of romantic relationship with any canon character. Also, they can't in any way be the offspring, sibling, or any other family member of any of the canon characters. Friendships and rank companionships are allowed to be added to their bios if desired.
Approval procedure

These rules has to be followed for every character that has to be sent for approval.

If you have correctly followed this OC's creation guide, your OC will get approved without problem. It will be requested that you post the OC reference public to be added to Cilt's database, and an ID will be given to you. This ID will be useful to have the basic information of your OC, and it will allow it to participate in events and gain badges. (You wont need to manage the ID's and database of your characters, this is completely done by the admins). It is recomended that you link your character's ID in it's reference sheet.
Once you got your character ID, you are officially allowed to make as much content with your character as you please!

What can I do with my new approved character?
What can I do with my new approved character?
You can do pretty much anything you want, you can buy commissions to other artists to draw your character, roleplay, make art and fanfics, or even use it as your sona if you wish. Try to be respectful to the canon material and, if you feel that your fanfics or art involving your OC don't fit very well in the main story, you need to state at the begining of those pieces that it includes fan-made fiction, and it does not follow H.L. main timeline.
Aside from that, HybridsDen frequently hosts events for members where they can participate with their characters, meeting other member's OC's, playing fun games, and winning some prizes from time to time.
