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!
- 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.
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:
Gaining a Companion
Do you want your feral familiar to bond with a human character later on? That’s 100% cool (and part of why this slot exists). It’s also optional if that’s not your thing (although Familiars need a companion to participate in Story Mode.)
A general FAQ:
A general FAQ:
- You need to build up the relationship between the familiar and the other character (can be yours or someone else’s) through RP, writing, art, etc over time.
- You need to create a story, piece of art or an RP for the actual moment of bonding. It doesn’t have to be very long, just something to say it happened and show everyone involved’s thoughts.
- After that’s happened, their slot will stay the same. So that means they can bond with a person from anywhere, regardless of slots!
