General FAQ
- Familiars require a full reference and bio, just like any other character and must be submitted to character approval.
- You can submit your story/comic/etc before the character is finished to ‘reserve’ the slot.
- The story/comic/etc itself does need to be finished, though!
Familiar style guide:
- Familiars have a distinct visual style that, while you can add your own flair and style to, should have some similarities to the others.
- They should have at least a noticeable amount of plating.
- “Glowstuff” should be either a single solid (bright) colour, white, or fading from white to one colour.
- Their elemental alignment doesn’t have any influence on their visual design; you can make a blue Fire Familiar or a yellow Water Familiar.
- You can see all the current examples of designed & uploaded familiars here:

Human Companion:
- The nation limits refer to their birth or the nation with the dominant influence on their lifestyle and background.
- For example; if you had a Xocrian character born in or brought into Dutoria as a child and has spent most of their life there, they would count for the Dutorian familiar slot.
- When will more familiar slots in [nation] be unlocked?
- We will unlock a second ‘round’ of familiar slots in each nation once all the current ones are filled.
- How old should my human character have been when they met their Familiar?
- Generally speaking, Familiars don’t like to be babysitters, so your character should be at the very least 12-15 years old before their Familiar makes a bond with them.
- Some exceptions might be:
- The Familiar has stuck with a family for generations and bonds with a younger child.
- An exceptional situation occurs that drives a Familiar to make a bond early.
