So you’ve decided to check our group out? Welcome!
If you’re new to ARPGs entirely, here are some basics(if you’re familiar with ARPGs, feel free to skip to the next section!):
An ARPG is a game wherein you draw or write about your character to collect in-game items and currency. You can partake in different activities that award various rewards, and you can advance or ‘level up’ your character’s progress through in-game events.
A geno is a creature that has not yet been designed or uploaded to the group.
A genotype is where genos get their names; genotypes are the string of letters(ex: nM/ScSc/nG) that are shorthand for a phenotype, and represent the creature’s genetic makeup.
A phenotype is the long-form version of a genotype; the above example would read out as Scorched Masked Ghost.
Imports are officially uploaded designs of ARPG creatures, including genetic, physical, and personality information.
Starters are official designs that belong to the group but may be drawn by anyone. They usually lack any lineage and often introduce a gene to the gene pool.
A slot is permission to breed a one creature with another creature within their own species/group. Creature owners may apply rules to these slots, such as ‘no selling or trading’.
The following information is more specific to LirseDomis!
What is a lirse?
Lirse are located in the archosaur clade; they are descendants of non-avian dinosaurs and have evolved to fit certain niches in their world. They are opportunistic carnivores, favoring meat but unable to turn down plants, fruits, and veggies when they’re available. You can find more species information HERE.
Remember! Lirse are not free to make.
How do I get one?
You can get a lirse by purchasing, breeding, winning, or by being gifted one. You can also claim a newbie egg if you don’t own an import or geno!
You must have an official geno or import to own one.
Newbie egg- simply hop over to the NEWBIE EGG HATCHERY(HERE) and comment to pick one parent of your first lirse!
Purchasing- If you want a lirse now, you can post an advertisement in the group or on the official discord server. By doing so, you can obtain either an import, or an already uploaded lirse, or a geno, which you will need to design and send through IMPORT APPROVALS(HERE).
To breed a lirse, you need two slot permissions to an unrelated male and female! To learn more about breeding, click HERE.
I have a geno! What now?
Genetic information can be found HERE! There is a breakdown of each marking’s requirements(such as range and color) in the linked page.
My design is done! Where do I submit it?
Submit the design to IMPORT APPROVALS(HERE) by following the instructions listed there! A moderator will approve the design or list corrections. Once the design is approved, it will be uploaded to Kaelums-Voice and you can join in with group activities and goings-on!
What do I do once my lirse has been uploaded?
Anything you want! There are no activity requirements but you can do things like AGE UP(HERE) your lirse, participate in ACTIVITIES(HERE), develop their story, and collaborate with other members!
