THIS GROUP IS CLOSED FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE
After reading the rules ENTIRELY, you can apply here. (Sorry, this group is closed for the forseeable future)
We have a private ToyHouse and a public deviantArt gallery where members may optionally archive and interact!
If you don’t have a TH, WynBird can generate an invite code for you
If you need an invitation to the TH or dA, let Wyn know on Discord!
We are a 3-3-3 rated creative community
Swearing & mature language is permitted. | Sexual content may be described in detail. | Explicit violence is permitted.
There is no character limit.
Characters MUST have a reference posted to the Discord to participate in the group!
Catch up on our character design rules!
Choose your faction from those currently open to join.
Be familiar with their culture as some have special requirements or limitations regarding their members.
Create or obtain an image of your character that clearly shows their markings, palette, and any major accessories or features.
You can draw this yourself or commission someone to draw it for you. If the creator permits it, you can also use linearts, photomanips, and dress up dolls - but make sure to include attribution! AI art is not allowed.
Some linearts and other resources are available for free to members in the Discord.
In their description, provide basic identification for your character including at minimum name, pronouns, and rank/role.
Any rank/role listed as "Free to Create" on the faction page is available to new characters. Some roles require a certain level of renown, & a few are restricted to NPCs.
It is also recommended to include a personality, history, and a player consent/comfort list.
If you need help deciding what/how to organize, you can take inspiration from the handy-dandy:
