ADOPTABLE TOS
By adopting from me, you are agreeing to the following conditions:
1. You may repost your adoptable to your account, but source must be included.
2. You may make changes to your adopt, including small color shifts, marking, hair, name, gender changes, etc--but please don't make drastic design alterations. I require the adoptable still be recognizable to the original design. If you are not sure on your edits, please check them through me first.
3. It is not required to source me more than once for the design. It is appreciated, though, if you note the species belong to me. Again, not necessarily required, but appreciated.
Selling/Trading/Gifting:
1. If reselling your adopt; You may resell for no more than the original price paid UNLESS including commissioned artwork. For example, if you buy an adopt for $25, and buy a $25 commission of it, as well, you can then resell your adopt for $50. This allowance does not include personal artwork, trades, or gifts; commissions only. Please make sure to check an artist's commission ToS before reselling to include commissioned artwork, as some artists do not allow their work to be resold with adopts. To buyers: I strongly suggest you request proof of purchase or double check with artists for prices before agreeing to buy an adopt that is priced up for commissioned work.
Paid for adopts may be resold/traded/gifted freely.
2. For traded adopts; Adoptables obtained in trade may only be traded or gifted, regardless of commissioned work.*
3. For adopts obtained as a gift; Gifted adopts may NOT be sold or traded. You may only give them back to me, or gift them along to another.
*Between the dates of May 6th and July 22nd I allowed for one who had traded for an adopt and then later bought a commission, to partially resell to include price of commissioned artworks (for example, A traded an adopt to B, B commissioned a $25 piece, then B could resell the adopt for the $25 they paid for the commissioned work). I've been a bit on the fence about this, and have decided to go back to the original trade/gift only rule. I don't want to invite trouble, and I feel removing this is best. However, any adopts purchased between the dates of May 6th and July 22nd are exempt from this ToS change and may still resell trades for the price of commissioned work (assuming artist ToS allows), BUT I would prefer you didn't and would appreciate it if you follow the current ToS standards.
If I catch you breaking these rules, there is a chance of being blacklisted.
Species listed here are NOT open adoptables. You may NOT create your own. Please do not hassle the buyers for the designs, either.
You do not have to follow any of the canons when purchasing one. It is simply there for something to work with/build from for those who are interested. :)
~~~~~Species List~~~~~~~
BLAKRYES
info sheet // [x]
rarity & trait chart // [x]
examples // [x] [x]
Blakryes are a race of lightning aligned creatures who specialize in rune magics. While all are skilled in the manipulation of black lightning, individuals usually only practice one or two different elements besides. Blakryes are very passionate creatures. They have an inherent curiosity about the world and love to learn and see new things, though they can tend to be easily manipulated or gullible.. These creatures love contact and closeness and are very cuddly. For these reasons, Blakryes are noted as a subservient race and are popular as "pets" within certain social circles. As their tails are made of lightning, they can be a bit abrasive and shock anyone who tries to touch it/them. Their tails only hurt those they wish it to, though; if allowed, touching a Blakrye's tail would be much like touching something that gives a pleasant tingle.
Notable physical traits:
//All Blakryes have tails made from black lightning. While the currents displayed are devoid of color, Blakyres' tails have a unique property of projecting color auras. Notably, the projected colors are the same as their brightest markings and skin/innards coloring (such as inside the mouth, nipples, etc)
//All Blakryes have naturally black hair, as devoid of color as their tails.
//Blakryes have paw pads on both their feet and hands.
//Often their nails and claws are black, but this is not always the case.
//Many Blakryes are born with rune symbology on their body. These markings are often seen as an indicator for magical manifestations. The higher/more intricate the markings, generally the more magically inclined the Blakrye is.
SOCKTAILS (retired?)
examples // [x]
Socktails are a miniature race of curious yet to-themselves creatures. They are often born with unique, varying, and colorful design and markings which they spend their youth obsessively searching for the perfect sock to match. It is unsure where their obsession with socks and wearing one on their tail comes from, but it is rare to see a Socktail without something covering their tails.
They are often mistaken for tricksters based off of their secretive nature and reputation for being sock thieves, but this isn't entirely the case. Socktails are commonly just shy and cautious, and as a result misunderstood. They have a natural curiosity, but are very subtle and sneaky about it. They dislike large crowds or loud commotions, and will do all they can to avoid them.
Typically, Socktails search homes for that one sock that perfectly matches them. Upon finding that sock, they prefer to take up residence within or near the home they discovered it in. It is rare to have more than one socktail taking residence within a home, except for when forming a family. Sometimes it takes the home owners months before they realize they have obtained a new housemate (and it's not always taken as a pleasant discovery). Generally, though, most people end up overlooking Socktails. They are a docile, self sufficient race that usually stay well out of the way and to themselves.
Overall, Socktails are not extremely common, but almost everyone has heard of them. Though until they come across one, many think they are just myths (like sock gnomes).
As is probably obvious at this point, they don't interact much with others openly (especially larger "scarier" species/races). They are very private. Socktails have been known to develop great fondness for their hosts if their trust is gained, though. Gaining a socktail's affections is considered being very lucky; they will often bestow small gifts and/or favors to those they adore. On the other hand, they can tend to live up to their trickster reputation if you gain the affections of a more playful Socktail.
Notable Physical Traits:
//Grow to between 6" and 1'6" tall
//Typically have cuter, doll or plush-like features
//Have round cheek markings (think Pikachu style)
//Can have between 2 and 6 nipples; 4 being most common
//Almost all Socktails have wrist and ankle tuffs, but hip and neck fluffs are only present in about half
FYRALINES
examples // [x]
Fyralines are a race of fire aligned creatures with a notably feisty personality default. They tend to be loud, pushy, and very honest creatures. Fyralines are also usually very independent and live and play by their own rules. Although fire encases their shoulders, tail tip, and a small area of their ankles, the flames are harmless unless they choose for it to burn you.
Notable physical traits:
//Fyralines typically come in two flame types: warm and cool. Warms range from yellows to warm pinks, and cools range from teal to cool purples. There are exceptions, but they are rare.
//Similarly, they have either very light or fairly dark base colorings; light being more typical of warm flamed Fyralines, and dark being more prominent with cool flamed Fyralines.
//Fyralines are born with just utterly unruly cowlicks that, no matter what they may try, are never tamed. (As a result, they all hair that sticks up in some way)
//Their feet are smaller than is proportionately normal and as a result rely heavily on their tails for proper balance.
//If their flames ever go out, they die.

If I accept customs I'll be making separate journals for when I open for them!
For now they're just batches.
I'll keep an eye out on the batches, but I'll admit I'm looking for something rather specific, hahah.
Hopefully I'll be able to nab a custom when you're open
your species are so interesting Jo omg
