Species Rules
Any Daiten obtained for free (events or gifts) may only be traded not sold unless it includes paid for art. Daitens bought may be traded or sold for equal monetary value they were purchased for unless art has been commissioned of them. Commissioned art is worth only up to half the price your originally paid for it with proof of your purchase and ONLY if the artist is comfortable with a resell of the art they created. (Any free art does not count towards it's value). Small design changes can be made as long as the character is still recognizable to the old. All edits must be approved via the #myo-and-redesign-approval channel

Ascended These traits are for those who are closer in tune with the heavens. Daitens who served Lord Qi, offer to one of the blessed shrines or serve in divine ways earn the power to form ascended physical forms. Traits such as multi coloured halos, extra arms, more than two sets of wings, very long horns or spikes, are examples of ascension.

Corrupted Daitens can be cured through trials of cleansing and regain their halos. If one is not careful, Corruption may ultimately cause Rampancy. This is when a Daiten loses its former self, becoming feral and hostile. It may no longer safely interact with other beings.

There has been a lot of dissapointing situations lately in the community and I am too sick of this toxicity.
Updates:
Common Vernids are still open species.
Current Royal vernids can be edited but royal upgrades cannot be passed from vernid to vernid.
Every single royal NEEDS a proof in a form of an invoice screenshot. Otherwise it isn't valid.

Clothes on animals?
Since the bodies of anthropomorphic animal characters differ from those of humans, ranging from slightly to significantly so, clothing anthros in a believable manner presents a set of challenges.First, there is the elephant in the room – animals do not wear clothes, and have no need nor desire to do so. If you are striving to portray a distinct culture of anthropomorphic animals realistically, in most contexts they are not going to be wearing clothes at all. There are a number reasons why:
For species with fur or feathers, there are bi

When designing your own worlds, not even the sky is the limit.
