Species Guidelines

DISCLAIMER:

Many of the traits on this page apply primarily to subspecies or mutations that do not have specified limits. For instance, Copykats with specific ear limits or Jellaku with particular eye requirements. If you're unsure about any rules, feel free to ask for clarification in the Discord server.

Additional Traits

• Screen Faces / Robotic Limbs:

  • Allowed for any species.

  • Robotic limbs must contain organic matter.

  • Jellinu: Can’t be fully robotic; maximum 25% robotic parts.

Magic

Magic is not limited; this section is more so an archive of previous enchantments, allowing for easy referencing for those who would still like to use them. All of these are applicable to all subs.*
* With the exception of headless on Jelleyes; as their head is a key trait.

• Snake tongue
  This curse first manifests itself as jelly eyelashes; turning all that the jelli says meanspirited. If the jelli attempts to apologize or elaborate that they are cursed, the curse will progress into a snake tongue; removing their ability to speak entirely.

• Possession
  The neck jelly of a jelli expands above their face, taking control of them. The one who cursed them can then fully control them, or turn them feral.

• Headless
  Causes a jelli's head to disappear into thin air. Headless jellis are typically malnourished, as they can only eat through their jelly.

• Floating Head
  Causes a jelli's head to float above their neck. The head can somewhat move around freely, though is inclined to stay near the jelli overall.

• Third Eye
  Causes a third eye and usually extra floating symbols to appear around a jelly, granting the jelli better vision and sometimes future sight.

• Twin
  Causes a jelli's tail to become sentient, mimicking their own appearance somewhat. The Twin is friendly, attempting to help the jelli it belongs to.

• Familiars
  Causes spirits of any size and shape to appear around a jelli. 

• Doppelgänger
  Causes a jelli's tail to become sentient, becoming aggressive. While a truce between the host jelli and tail is possible, it usually will not extent that peace to others.

• Haunting
  Causes leech like sprits to cling to a jelli, draining them mentally. Removing a spirit causes another to sprout back in its place.

• Porcupine
  Causes a jelli's ribs to invert out of their chest, leaving their organs exposed to trauma.

• Gluttony
  Causes mouths to appear all along a jelli, at times even replacing their face. Gluttony jellis are filled with an unfillable desire to consume.

• Infection
  Causes a jelli's jelly begin eating away their flesh. The end result of this curse is death, when a jelli is fully consumed.

The lore regarding these enchantments does not have to be followed; this is just what their lore was prior to removal.

CBCs

CBCs, known as character based characters/canon based characters, are allowed in the species. However, they must follow the guide below.

These rules do not apply to characters you own, and are directed towards media characters.
