𝐼𝓃𝓉𝓇𝑜𝒹𝓊𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃

I welcome you, young witch, to my new workshop. As you may have heard it called the Artistry of Rún. Here artisans much like myself spend our days creating and crafting what is known as a Ball-Jointed Unicorn. Perhaps you've heard of them, perhaps they are the reason why you're here. Are you already aware of their magical properties? Their mentoring qualities? The life-long friendships and bonds you can form with one? No? Well then, I highly recommend you take a look at the guidebook, between you and me, you can skim through most of the info and be just fine. However, be sure to read up on getting yourself a Witch ID! Otherwise you won't be impressing no unicorn and that won't do you any good in your magic career, trust me! Now off you go! Get to reading and registering and maybe, just maybe, you'll catch the eye of one of the dear unicorns here!

• Step 1. Read the Guidebook
  
• Step 2. Register your ID by going to the Witch ID Center.
• Step 3. All BJ-Us for adoption can be found below the cover picture. Select one of them to find out what they require of you. You must always present your Witch ID during the adoption/bonding process.
• Step 4. Raise your ranks by practicing your magic (drawing/writing) or trying out for new unicorns! Gaining experience means you can obtain more unicorns, so you better get practicing! More info on leveling up can be found, of course, in the guidebook!

𝒢𝑒𝓃𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒𝓈

• This is a closed species and you require a MYO slot to create your own B-JU.
  
• Please be kind and courteous to others.
  
• Begging, complaining, slandering, and mistreatment of others is not permitted.
• B-JUs can be your fursona, if you obtain permission from the artist to do so.
• B-JUs can be transferred out of the species if you have my permission and the permission of the owner of the other species.


𝒮𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒯𝓇𝒶𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔

• You can only sell/trade a B-JU to someone who has a Witch ID and at least ONE unicorn.
  
• B-JUs can only be traded for other B-JUs, MYO slots, or B-JU items.
• You can only trade/sell a B-JU once every 2 weeks.
• You cannot sell them for profit. For example: Winning a B-JU them immediately turning around selling them is not permitted.
• You must ask the original artist's permission first before selling the design. If they are uncomfortable with you selling the design, then you cannot sell it, however, you may gift it to a staff member if you really don't want it.
• All designs created by me (Hugs) can be resold without need of permission.
• You must own a B-JU for 2 week before you can trade them. You must own a B-JU for 4 weeks before you can sell them.
• MYO slots can be resold for the price they were bought at. "Price" can be a varying currency amount that is equal to the other. Such as 1,000 points = $10. So if you bought a MYO for $10, you can resell it for 1,000 points instead.
• Witch IDs are non-transferable.

𝐿𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓉𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈

• You can own 2 Witch IDs. The first ID is free, the second must be bought.
• A max of 20 B-JUs per Witch ID. A current max of 40 B-JUs can be owned.

  Apprentice: 3
  Adept: 6
  Expert: 9
  Master: 12
  Maestro: 15
  Preeminent: 20
• B-JU designs can be revamped under certain circumstances. Please PM me first for approval.
  


𝐸𝒹𝒾𝓉𝓈

• B-JUs cannot be edited without the use of an edit item.
  
• There is no rarity system to an edit/trait as of right now.
• Artists can, currently, edit the horn, tail, ears, and mane/fur freely.
• Horns can only be changed in style. They cannot be removed! The horn must be a singular horn on the forehead or two horns like that of a rhino. The horn cannot be turned into antlers or rams horns (or any similar horns that are a pair of two.)
• Revamps that are done to clean edits or markings are permitted. Revamps only count as cleaning up a messy/pixelated marking/edit and removing leaked pixels. Revamps require the permission of the original artist and the owner (myself) to be done. Revamps cannot change the colors or complete markings of a design. All revamped designs require approval. (PM myself or a staff member for approval.)
• All designs created by myself (Hugs) can be revamped without permission, but still require approval.
  


𝐵𝓇𝑒𝑒𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈

• B-JUs are naturally genderless. Therefore gender does not matter in breedings.
  
• Only 2 B-JUs can be bred together for one breeding. There cannot be a third partner.
• You must wait 2 weeks after breeding your unicorns to breed them again.
• B-JUs can only be bred 5 times as of right now.

• You must state a base point amount for those who attempted to win. The base point amount must be between 5-10 points. 5 points for raffle like contests with little effort and 10 points for those with more work put into them.

MYO Tickets can be used to create a customized B-JU. Currently, they are not for sale.

Guidelines

• Tickets can only produce 1 B-JU.
  
• You can only use the edits listed along side the ticket.
  
• All designs must be approved of by a staff member.
• Once a ticket is used, you cannot reuse it. However, if you're unhappy with a custom you created/designed, and the B-JU has not been bred, then you are welcome to redo the design. In order to redo the design you must inform me of the redo as well as show me the design again for approval. (note: a redo and a revamp are two separate things. Revamp = fixing up a pre-existing design. Redo = completely redoing a design with new edits/colors.)
• Upon creation, a ticket will automatically result in Winner's EXP (50 points). The points will go towards the witch who obtained the B-JU. For example: you cannot have two IDs and want the EXP to go to one witch and the B-JU to the other. Both the EXP and the B-JU will only go to one witch.

The Grand Opening is on it's way! There will be 9-10 adopts up during this time. Go get your Witch ID Registered as soon as you can! Without an ID you will be unable to adopt any B-JUs. You are able to register your first ID completely free of charge. ^^

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝑒𝒸𝑜𝓃𝒹 𝒢𝓇𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒪𝓅𝑒𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔

Welcome to the Artistry of Rún's second grand opening! Today is the day where witches can meet new friends! Weather new friends take the forms of unicorns or other witches, i'm sure we can have lots of fun here! As witches with old ID's should know, i'm not the original artisans of these wonderful unicorns, but, since they can no longer take care of these lovely creatures, i am here to keep things running!

This is a small event, as we're only a small company with few artisans *cough* just me *cough.* So, I'm afraid I cannot offer much, but I have some unicorns who are rather eager to get out of my office and into the hands of a worthy witch, and presents for those who where here from the beginning! Those with valid witch Id's will gain 100 EXP, and those who gain a witch ID in the next week and a half with gain an extra 50 EXP!

Now that that is out of the way, why not take a look at the unicorns currently up? Each of them have different desires and ways to impress them, so be sure to read their pages closely!

If you wish to join, but are not sure how, check out the main page and read up the rules and the guidebook to understand everything there is to know about Ball-Jointed Unicorns. Also, we do have a little chatterbox called "Discord" that you're welcome to join! Just send me (Hugs100) a request (PM) and I'll be sure to send the link your way! If you join, you will be able to interact with other apprentices and discuss all things unicorn. It might be worth your while!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope you will meet a unicorn to your liking (and to theirs, they can be rather picky at times, don't mind that though, it's just their nature.) Speaking of, you can tell what nature, or should I say Vocation, a unicorn is by the background they're on! Nature = green and leafy, Dream = purple and swirly, Energy = blue and sparky. That way, if you're after a certain Vocation type, you can know immediately at first glance! Handy, right?

And well, I guess that's it! See you around, yeah?

A small announcement! With the first three B-JU contests about to end, I decided to tweak some rules! I decided to change a few rules so that the species could be more welcoming in a way and that people wouldn't feel terribly restricted.
The main changes are:

• You can now sell a B-JU and trade them out of the species. There are quite a few restrictions for this, however, because I don't want the B-JUs to be seen as a "for profit" species.
  
• You can now revamp a B-JU design if a roughly drawn marking/leaked pixels/pixelated edit is bothering you.
• There is now a restriction to horn edits.

The New Rules:


𝒮𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒯𝓇𝒶𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔

• You can only sell/trade a B-JU to someone who has a Witch ID
  
• You can only trade with a species that permits outside trades.
• You can only trade/sell a B-JU once every 2 weeks
• You cannot sell them for profit. For example: Winning a B-JU them immediately turning around selling them is not permitted.
• You must ask the original artist's permission first before selling the design. If they are uncomfortable with you selling the design, then you cannot sell it.
• All designs created by me (Error) can be resold without need of permission.
• You must own a B-JU for 2 week before you can trade them. You must own a B-JU for 4 weeks before you can sell them.
• MYO slots can be resold for the price they were bought at. "Price" can be a varying currency amount that is equal to the other. Such as 1,000 points = $10. So if you bought a MYO for $10, you can resell it for 1,000 points instead.
• Witch IDs are non-transferable.

Newest rules added to the edits section:

𝐸𝒹𝒾𝓉𝓈

• Removed: the freedom to change the mane/tail edit for now.
• Horns can only be changed in style. They cannot be removed! The horn must be a singular horn on the forehead or two horns like that of a rhino. The horn cannot be turned into antlers or rams horns (or any similar horns that are a pair of two.)
• Revamps that are done to clean edits or markings are permitted. Revamps only count as cleaning up a messy/pixelated marking/edit and removing leaked pixels. Revamps require the permission of the original artist and the owner (myself) to be done. Revamps cannot change the colors or complete markings of a design. All revamped designs require approval. (PM myself or a staff member for approval.)
• All designs created by myself (Error) can be revamped without permission, but still require approval.
  

If you have any comments or concerns feel free to PM them to me!
