Character Creation Guide

Notes: Step 2: Character Lore is closed until more lore is added for the world.

= Step 1: Character Design = Make/ buy a character's design

Physical Design
Jiikaare have one main design- their "physical self" that appears in the real world (as in their real world) There are many different ways to get a design.

MYO
MYO, standing for Make Your Own, means that you can make your own design. You need an MYO item for the species you want to make, additional trait items to add on additional high-rarity traits, and to follow rules of the species. Submit your design to the discord, post it on instagram, or post it on the correct forum here to get it approved! But note that making characters without the proper MYO item, using traits without the right trait item, and not following the rules of the species will not be approved until these issues are fixed.

Adopt
Buy an adopt from the species instagram page or discord! Adopts will first be posted on discord.

Fullbody Adopt


 * Traits cannot be changed unless an item is used
 * Can simplify patterns as long as the character is still recognizable (unless redesign item is used)

Chibi Adopt


 * See The Vault

Headshot Adopt


 * Character gets the same amount of base traits as on an MYO (although additional traits of high rarity can be added using items)

The Vault
The Vault contains many different designs to choose from, as long as you have the right Pass. The Basic Vault pass allows you to choose a design from the Basic Vault, the Rare Vault pass allows you to pick from the Rare Vault, and the Mutation Vault pass allows you to pick from the Mutation Vault. If you have the right pass, claim it on the design channel in discord. You can then make a proper ref using the Trait Sheet, keeping the species' biology in mind. Note that traits already specified cannot be changed but can be refined (ex. simplifying patterns, specifying wing or spine shape) Trait items can be used to add traits of higher rarities and redesign items can be used to change pre-defined traits. When this second ref has been completed, please submit your design to the discord or post it on the correct forum here to get it approved. But remember that making characters without the proper MYO item, using traits without the right trait item, and not following the rules of the species will not be approved until these issues are fixed.

Biological
See this page (will be created when needed)

Adoption
Pick a design from the Vault. See The Vault section for more details.

Virtual Design
If your character will be part of the lore of Project: Jiiqua, they will need a Virtual Self design- an alternate design displayed when the character is in the Server. Making a separate design is optional and can be done separately from the physical design, as the design will default to their physical self reference. Please note the rules when creating a Virtual Self design (found in the species page).

Clothing Design
All sapient species should have some form of clothing- including a clothing reference is optional but mandatory in activity submissions. Species Info sheets contain information on what clothing each species would wear and contains examples.

Submitting the Design
Designs made by official staff (such as adopts and customs) do not have to be approved in the channel unless changed in some way, such as a redesign or trait swapping. Other designs have to be submitted to the discord or #projectjiiquaMYO instagram hashtag and approved by an admin.
