Design a Trait Contest

Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by Lorekeeper

Get your pencils ready, and open your imagination, it's time to let players design new Traits for the game!

Both artists and writers are welcome to join the fun, you don't need to design the trait, just describe it to count as an entry. Players may submit up to 3 entries total, and can win for multiple categories. Designs will be put to public voting to pick winners. In the case of voting ties, players who have NOT won a Trait yet will be picked.

Kirunhound, Popokee, and Balikin are all open for Trait submissions.

Kirunhound and Popokee entries will be available after the contest, but Balikin Trait winners will be added after the story event to allow everyone equal chance on rolling their first Balikin egg.

Entries will be allowed until April 30th, with voting in early May.

Written submissions need to include the following:
  • Name of Trait.
  • Which species will use this Trait and which type of Trait it is.
  • Detailed description of how this Trait looks.
  • General sizing, and shape of Trait.
  • If markings will affect it or not.
  • Any additional notes about optional effects or interactions this Trait might have with other Traits or Mutations, ect.
Drawn submissions need to include the following:
  • Name of Trait.
  • Which species will use this Trait and which type of Trait it is.
  • Edited Template showing the Trait on the Species. (More than one option drawn if Trait has variations in size, shape or placement!)
  • Template Files: Kirunhound Popokee Balikin
  • If markings will affect it or not.
  • Any additional notes about optional effects or interactions this Trait might have with other Traits or Mutations, ect.
Some things to keep in mind:
  • Traits should only be used on one Species.
  • Trait Names should not currently be in use by other Traits in game.
  • Traits should fit the game lore, and not be too silly or break canon.
  • Traits should not heavily resemble current game Traits or pull heavily from other media such as TV shows, movies or video games.
  • Traits should not include Marking like aspects, and only adjust the body part it uses.
  • Balikin Traits will not be added until AFTER the final event storyline.
  • Small adjustments or name changes may be done to winning entries to better fit lore.
  • Entries will be sorted based on how well staff feel each fits into the C/UC/R/L levels.

All entries will be sorted into these categories, with one winner for each:

  • Kirunhound Common or Uncommon Trait
  • Kirunhound Rare or Legendary Trait
  • Popokee Common or Uncommon Trait
  • Popokee Rare or Legendary Trait
  • Balikin Common or Uncommon Trait
  • Balikin Rare or Legendary Trait

Winners will get the following prizes:

  • 1000 Kouneen
  • x2 Breeding Vouchers
  • x1 Touched Charm (Allows a player to change a Trait on a Geno or Azoth created character to their Winning trait when submitting an Import)

To enter, just reply to his News post with the require form for either Writing or Artwork above.

Name: Phoenix
Species: Balikin
Trait type: Wing type
Template Files: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/398205171722616884/970068800097644555/balikin_phoenix.png
Can be affected by markings.
Adds glowing affects to the wing edges that trail outwards (can be shorter then the example). Can mimic any other wing type. Glow can be any color. Markings may trail outward slightly.
Optional?: May add a smaller glow effect to the feet. (Perhaps only if the dragon soul mutation is present?)

Template Files: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/398205171722616884/969363904805371954/kirunhound_SCALES.png
Can be affected by markings the same as other scale locations.
Scales become transparent and float slightly above the body. Does not glow unless traits that cause scales to glow are present. Can mimic any other scale location.
