✦ Shiny, Fossils, and alternative regional forms of Pokémon are allowed for all characters and their Altermewtations.
✦ If a Character is inspired by a real-life culture or ethnic group, the Mod Team advises that such inspirations must be done with with respect and with limitations. See here for more information, or reach out to the Mods via a Design Review Ticket in the Discord, or the Questions Channel, to discuss further.
Pokémon Traits
Pokémon Traits
✦ Solara Veil is a Pokémon Gijinka group. That means that any character must be mostly human with Pokémon features and traits. The design itself must have a minimum of at least two Pokémon Traits and a maximum of 4 Traits.
✦ You can add more - BUT! Please make sure that the character still looks human and be aware that heavily Traited individuals might face some prejudice from others if they're mistaken for a Berserker.
✦ Got a question about Creating your Character? Perhaps it's been answered in the FAQ!

What Are Traits?
Traits Are Categorized Into Seven Different Parts Of A Character's Design
Traits Are Categorized Into Seven Different Parts Of A Character's Design
Ears
Ears
✦ Anything that isn't typical human ears, which includes "elf ears" and animal ears, etc.
Hair
Hair
✦ This Trait DOES NOT include rainbow hair colours. People can have purple, blue, multi-coloured hair to your heart's delight if you wish!
✦ These are Traits where a Character's "hair" has either supernatural qualities or they do not have human head follicles, aka hair strands. This can include, but not limited to: tentacles, stone pieces in hair shapes, magical hair that lights up, etc. Be creative!
Tail
Tail
✦ An appendage(s) extending from a person's tailbone area.
Legs
Legs
✦ Any Pokémon leg feature extending from the thigh down (could just be feet). However! All characters must only have 2 legs! No centaurs here!
✦ The Leg Traits must end somewhere on the thighs. This means that Altermews must have human genitalia and butts (even if the butt is covered in fur or scales or something because of a tail).
✦ No satyrs allowed!
✦ Your character should be wearing some sort of pant, skirt, etc. covering their lower body. It's the desert, after all!
Arms
Arms
✦ Any Pokémon arm feature extending from the shoulder down (could just be hands), but must still include a "human hand" - i.e. five digits.
✦ Altermewtations that naturally have more arms are allowed to have up to 4 additional torso-based limbs - this can include arms (like Machamp), tentacles (like Malamar), or other appendages.
Horns
Horns
✦ An appendage(s) extending from a person's head and/or neck (excluding ears).
✦ This does not include the nose, that must stay human.
Other
Other
✦ These can include internal Traits, wings, aura, skin markings (not tattoos), scales, etc. It can anything else that isn't on the list.
✦ Be mindful! Other Traits can add up!
When in doubt, ask a Mod if you are unsure where a potential Trait may fit!

Character Design
Character Design
✦ The design must be yours, but an applicant may have another artist draw it for them.
✦ If another artist is used, credit is required.
✦ Please include your Visual Application into your Google Doc (if you're using Google Doc)
✦ You have two options to choose from in terms of characters, one can be a Altermew Character Design ( a regular, everyday Pokémon Gijinka) or a Berserker Character Design (a Gijinka Character that can Mega Evolve). The rules of Character Creation apply for both Playable characters (PCs) and Non-Playable characters (NPCs) alike.
✦ Aside from regular human skin tones, the only "unusual" skin tone that is allowed is a grey tone, and this would be considered a Trait!
✦ While Traits on the Torso/Chest region can be acceptable, this will depend on a case-by-case basis, as many Chest-based Traits tend to "swallow" up a character's human-form. When in doubt: the character must still look "human"!
Altermewtation
Altermewtation
Examples of what your character can look like "normally".
✦ The average typically Altermew displays 4 traits or less.
Berserk State
Berserk State
What your character looks like when they are in the "Berserk State"
✦ A Berserker is the Mega form of an Altermew and is stronger and more wild in this state.
✦ "Typically" display 6 - 8 Traits, but some can have up to 10!
✦ In the Solara Veil universe, every Pokémon can Mega evolve, so be creative with your Mega/Berserker form!
✧ Outfits & Aesthetics
✧ Outfits & Aesthetics
✦ While outfit/wardrobe designing is fun, please remember that the group's setting is based on "Wild West"/steampunk/post-apocalyptic aesthetics (think of the styles found in the My Time game series, Fallout series, Firefly series, Red Dead Redemption game series) and the town is surrounded by a desert.
✦ Eastern desert aesthetics are also allowed, but not exclusively. If you need extra help or an idea of the type of fashion that your character could wear, take a look at our Pinterest Board for extra details. Keep in mind: these are suggestions for ideas, and NOT strict guidelines! Ultimately, when in doubt, send in a Design Review Ticket to have any design, character or outfit, discussed! Mods try hard to be fair and adhere to the group's "Wild West" aesthetic!
✦ Hair colour and style do not need to align with a character's chosen Pokémon type. Hair can be whatever colour you wish to be!
✦ Eyes can also be whatever colour you want, and the pupils can be non-human as well--yet, the eye structure itself must be human. So no large alien-esque eyes etc.
Character Slots
Character Slots
✦ A member can only join the group with ONE character.
✦ The character limit for members is 5 total Character Slots, and Character Slots can only be earned by members by creating art and participating in events (drawing, rping, etc).
✦ The exact amount of Coins is required for a member to purchase their next Character Slot. Coins cannot be traded or gifted between members.
✦ Members can only submit ONE character at a time.
✦ Please be patient while a character application is being reviewed! Mods are people and have lives, but will try to get through apps in a timely fashion!
✦ All members get one free Character Switch - exchanging one character for another.
✦ Before a member is able to request their next Character Slot (regardless if they have enough Coins or not), they must have had their previous character for a set amount of time as well provide Interaction Evidence to show that the new character has been used.
