Hope it’s ok to mark - this is such a neat idea. I remember seeing it previously when you first made it! I’m so glad they’re becoming real!

super cute idea !! mark

Felcan wrote:The mallow Felcan are the primitive species that were first under Genus Felcanonis on Planet Marmellanon. The Felcan are split into two different subspecies, Mallowcats and Mallowdogs. Chip, on the left, is a Mallowcat and Aldo, on the right, is a Mallowdog! They are made entirely of mallow and magic, have no bones, and only have a rudimentary magic brain. As such, they can not understand language and communicate through chirps. They are generally animalistic in their behavior despite being anthro. They have two antennae and three magic pouches, one on the stomach and both their flanks.

I’m going to start Adopting out some of these little guys! Hopefully they look good haha

Is it alright to give a second comment to a growing egg that needs them..? Or does only one comment per user count?

Feel free to mark this post

Promt:

When an artist opens slots, they may require a prompt response to consider your form! Your form may or may not be judged by the prompt content, depending on the artist's choice. Prompt options are listed in this post; you may pick whichever you'd like.

You are highly encouraged to take the time to prewrite/predraw the prompt response for your form(s), as artist slots may only be open for a short period of time. Nursery prompts cannot reuse content from other prompts/mechanics. You are, however, encouraged to resubmit the same prompt response for a pairing until the ticket is accepted (at which point it cannot be used again). Prompts should be created by yourself / the person you're splitting the ticket with only.

You only need to answer one prompt in your form. You must write a minimum 300 words or draw a minimum lined fullbody.

ＰＲＯＭＰＴ　ＯＰＴＩＯＮＳ

i. Describe the parents'* relationship. This can be any specific aspect or interaction, or a summary of their relationship as a whole.
ii. Write/draw** about the parent(s)* discussing / thinking about their future kittens. How do they feel about their expected kittens? What are their plans? How does this affect their lives? etc.
iii. Write/draw** about the hypothetical kits from this litter. What is their planned place in your lore? What is their importance? How will their heritage affect them, if at all? etc.
* What "parent(s)" means in these prompts is up to you, and can refer to whatever is relevant to your form/lore! This may simply be the cats linked in the form, only one of the parents if they're a single parent or only one parent is in-character, the adopted parents of the future kits, or anything else. Whatever applies to your lore and answers the prompt honestly is acceptable.

** If your art includes the kittens, do not give them defined designs! The artist will not design you the kitten coats you want based on the designs in your drawing; coats are the artist's choice. You may want to leave the kittens' colors blank, as silhouettes only, or otherwise leave their features vague.

Both parents will have a 2 week cooldown. NPCs cannot go on cooldown. A cat's cooldown can be skipped with an hourglass item from Starclan's shop. Cat cooldowns start at the time your form is accepted (not when the litter is posted).

For genetics-based breedings:
xx Cat 1: This cat is designated "pregnant" or "carrying the kits."
xx Cat 2: This cat is not pregnant / carrying the kits.
This may affect the possible base colors of kittens, but has no effect beyond that and does not need to apply to your lore.

[ Art Credit ]
[ NPCs • Event NPCs • NPC Litter Tracker ]

It seems like some kitties have been waiting for your arrival! You can find them here. These cats may be used for litters with each other or with your own kitties! You may spot them appearing in explore and other Stars mechanics as well. Keep in mind that some nursery NPCs have retired and may no longer be used for litters.

ＲＵＬＥＳ　＆　ＧＵＩＤＥＬＩＮＥＳ
xx i. You may only breed with each NPC twice. This is tracked here.
xx ii. Your cat will go on a 2 week cooldown after the breeding (since the NPC cannot go on cooldown).
xx iii. Cats related through an NPC are still considered related and cannot have kittens together.

We also have a very special group of kitties that only visit during events. These cats can be found here! Please remember they only come around once or twice a year, but they are really worth the wait (: Each event NPC has their own unique trait that will influence their kittens. You can read about these traits on each cat's page! When the event NPCs are available, it will be stated on the main event NPC page.

ＥＸＰＥＲＩＥＮＣＥ
Experience is awarded based on how many words you write, and/or the content of your art. All entries will receive experience (as long as you follow the art/writing only rules)!

Here is our writing exp scale, and here is our art exp scale. The writing exp scale is the same as the one used in explore. The art exp scale may be subject to change in the future.


ＳＴＡＲＤＵＳＴ
Complete any (or all) of our three quests to earn stardust! When a quest round closes for judging, a staff member will calculate how much exp you've earned for art / writing according to our art / writing scales (see above)! Then, all exp will be converted to stardust as follows: 1 exp = 2 stardust.

Don't worry, you'll still receive experience as well! The stardust is just an additional, bonus prize that you can use to buy super cool items in Starclan's Shop!


ＷＩＮＮＥＲＳ
Winners are chosen based on effort, quality, and creativity. Prizes vary between months and quests, but Hana's favorite entries from each quest will receive a rarer bonus prize!

[ Nursery FAQ • Archive FAQ • MYO FAQ • Quest Board FAQ • Explore FAQ • Artist Search FAQ ]

Q: How do we win prizes? What can we win?
A: Participating in quests will earn you experience (xp), stardust and/or MYOs (as grand prizes)! The more you write or add to your art, the more experience and stardust you could earn!

Q: How are the quests judged?
A: Experience and stardust are awarded by effort, while MYO (grand prize) winners are chosen by effort, quality, and creativity!

Q: Are we allowed to answer all three quests available for the month?
A: Yes, absolutely!

Q: How do I claim XP from the Quest Board (or from other Stars events)?
A: Add a note with a link to where you earned the XP in your next explore post! You don’t have to do any math or add the XP on your own━a writer will do that for you in their reply! c:

Q: Can Hana ask the same question twice?
A: Theoretically, yes! Our quests are chosen via random number generator from a document that only staff have access to

Q: May I suggest a prompt?
A: Yes, please do! My (vivika) dms are always open to prompt suggestions and you're also welcome to drop them in the #suggestions channel of our discord <3

Q: I responded to a prompt, but didn't get any exp! What happened?
A: Please double check the requirements for the prompt. Writing done for art-only prompts and art done for writing-only prompts won't count for any experience. If you followed the prompt requirements and answered the right prompt, then there may have been a mistake on our end; we're only human after all! Please DM one of the staff members who helped judge to let them know!

Q: Can we collab with another user for prompts?
A: Yes, you're welcome to collab with other users for quests! Any writing / art done must be clearly split and divided, so we can award xp accordingly*. Please make sure to specify what each user did (if isn't already clear) and make a note about it being a collab somewhere in your entry!

* For example, one partner can create an art piece for Quest One and the other partner can write a poem to go along with the art! Alternatively, you may both create separate art pieces or separate written pieces for the quest. Creating a single art piece where one partner lines and colors, while the other partner shades would not be allowed (as this makes xp tricky to award)!

This board is now open for marking !

ＢＡＳＩＣＳ
While exploring, you have a chance to find food/herbs, encounter some friendly faces, and even find rare items! However, remember this is a survival game! Your cats may get sick, engage in battles with predators, fight in border skirmishes, or receive random injuries. Your cats will not die in explore unless you opt-in to death. Everything you do in explore will earn you experience (EXP / XP), which is used to level-up and earn cool rewards (below)!

Here are some pointers to help you get started!
1. To begin, fill out the explore code provided below! Both the quote box version and the linear version have the same info and are just coded differently, feel free to pick either one to use! Alternatively, you may also create your own code, but please keep all the information from the base coding clearly visible in the post itself (not linked somewhere offsite/on another thread). Here is a handy checklist to ensure you have all the required info.

2. When you first start out, you’ll receive three free posts. These are given out per user, not per clan and provides your cats time to gather food and herbs! Your cats will gain no hunger for your first three posts. They also won’t encounter any predators or border skirmishes, fall ill, or receive any random injuries.

3. Max of four cats (adults/apprentices) on patrol, please! Additional cats can be included in your writing, but they won't count towards the rolls and shouldn't be linked in the "cats on patrol" sections. Kits cannot be added to the patrol list!

4. HP = health; HUP = hunger! All of your cats will start at 0% HUP (hunger) and 100% HP (health). Find out more information about HUP in “hunger & custom prey” and on HP in “health & healing”.

5. (Optional) If you’d like, you may customize your prey/predator list and/or opt-in for death! Just fill out the forms, post them on the explore thread + link them in your future explore post(s)!

6. Explore writing can be about anything, but should ideally end with / connect to a patrol! It’s a good idea to leave your explore post open for writers to jump-in, because the writer who responds will be writing about any prey/herbs found and any mini-scenarios encountered. Alternatively, you're welcome to send a patrol out without any writing as well.

7. After you've posted your explore post, wait for a writer to reply to your post before writing another one! Writing a quality explore reply can take time, so please be patient. Writers have one month (from the time they claimed your post) to get a response out to players, though it typically won't take that long. Your post wasn't skipped; we have multiple writers claiming different posts, and some might finish their replies sooner than others. For ease, you may also check if your post has been claimed and find all your prior posts and replies on our explore log!

8. When a writer responds, you may (or may not) receive a mini-scenario! If you’re still on your three free posts, you’ll encounter one of our friendly npcs! Read more about npc tasks and other mini-scenarios here!


ＬＥＶＥＬＳ
To level up, you'll need to earn experience (EXP / XP) through exploring, participating in prompts, or sometimes even events! You'll earn +10XP for every explore post posted, as well as additional experience for writing, participating in battles, finding herbs/food, etc. Every time you level up, you get a reward!

When you level up, your previous experience is "spent" on the level up and will not roll over to your new level. For example, if you have 135XP and are level 0, you'll level up to level 1 and have 35XP left. You cannot skip levels.

All users start at level zero! Experience listed is how much is required to reach that level (+ here is another way to visualize this).
Level one: 100XP| Rewards: +1 FP, +50 SD
Level two: 200XP | Rewards: +1 FP, + 1 Herb, +1 Common Edit
Level three: 300XP | Rewards: +2 FP, +1 Herb, +1 NR MYO
Level four: 400XP| Rewards: +2 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Uncommon Edit, +1 Stellar Remnants
Level five: 500XP | Rewards: +3 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Random Custom, +150 SD
Level six: 650XP | Rewards: +3 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 Star's Blessing, +1 Boon Of Fertility, +100 SD
Level seven: 800XP | Rewards: +4 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 C MYO, +1 Shooting Star
Level eight: 950XP | Rewards: +4 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 Semi Custom, +300 SD, +1 1UC MYO
Level nine: 1000XP | Rewards: +5 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 UN MYO, +1 Rare Edit
Level ten: 1200XP | Rewards: +5 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 UR MYO
Level eleven: 1400XP | Rewards: +6 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 Supernova
Level twelve: 1600XP | Rewards: +6 FP, +6 Herbs, +1 Myth Edit

ＨＵＮＧＥＲ 　 & 　ＦＯＯＤ
To survive, your cats require food! Food points (FP) can be found randomly on patrols. The amount of food you find varies by season and number of cats on patrol. During some seasons, your cats may receive a bountiful hunt — this doubles the FP they find!

Your cats will gain +10% HUP (hunger) per patrol. This hunger gain only applies to the cats sent on that patrol. For your first three explore posts, none of your cats will gain any hunger. If a cat reaches 60% hunger or above, they will lose -10% health every patrol they go on, until they're fed enough FP to lower their hunger below 60%.

If you are running dangerously low on FP, you can purchase or swap for some from Mousespeck. If you have some spare FP, you can also trade those to Mousespeck for stardust, which can be used to buy cool items from Starclan’s shop!


ＦＥＥＤＩＮＧ 　ＹＯＵＲ 　 ＣＡＴＳ
Each FP you feed a cat removes 10% hunger (1FP = -10% hunger)! When feeding your cats, remove the prey items from your inventory and place them in the “inventory items used” box of your explore post! Make sure to also update your patrollers’ hunger accordingly in your explore post.

You can choose to split a larger prey item with multiple cats! For example, you can feed three cats with a 3FP piece of prey and each cat will lose 10% hunger. Or you could split it between two cats, and remove 20% hunger from one, and 10% hunger from another. As an additional note, you cannot split a 1FP prey between two cats (removing -5% health for each one). Each FP can only remove -10% hunger (nothing more and nothing less)!


ＤＥＦＡＵＬＴ 　 & 　ＣＵＳＴＯＭ 　 ＰＲＥＤＡＴＯＲ／ＰＲＥＹ 　 ＬＩＳＴ
(Optional) To make your explores more personalized, you’re welcome to pick what prey and/or predators will appear in your territory! This is completely optional, but if you’re interested just fill out the form below (in the code block)! Otherwise, writers will use the default list for prey and predators when replying to your posts!


Default Prey List:
1 FP = scraps, bugs
2 FP = mouse, vole, shrew, small fish
3 FP = minnow, squirrel, frog
4 FP = rabbit, bird, owl, falcon
5 FP = hawk, eagle, vulture
Default Predator List:
badger, fox, bird of prey, dog, snake

Form Reminders:
1. Make sure to link your custom prey/predator list in every explore post!
2. Your prey list should have at least 1 item for each FP value! 2-3 items per FP value is ideal
3. Lists can be specific or general (i.e. mouse or small rodent)
4. Fantasy prey is allowed, but please keep your lists realistic size-wise (i.e. a bear shouldn't be prey, an eagle shouldn't be worth 1FP, etc.)
5. Your predator list should have at least 1 predator! These shouldn’t include cats (you’ll encounter these in border skirmishes)

ＧＥＴＴＩＮＧ　ＮＥＷ　ＣＡＴＳ
To gain new cats for your clan, you can participate in adopt competitions, purchase customs, or breed your cats. You can also sometimes find MYO tickets in explore, or win them as prizes from the quest board!

To adopt a cat via a competition, check out the cats colored-in under this page. If a cat has an "adopt me!" sign on their drawing, they're probably available for adoption. We also regularly host readoptions here. Be sure to check the end dates though, because some competitions may have already closed!

To purchase a custom, you'll need to wait for an artist to open slots on the main thread. You can read more about customs here. To design a MYO ("make your own") with a MYO ticket, visit the MYO page. You can design MYOs yourself, or recruit another user/artist to design them for you!

You can also gain more cats by breeding your cats in the nursery, though you'll need to wait for an artist to open slots. If you don't have two cats yet, you can use the nursery NPCs!


ＨＯＮＯＲＡＢＬＥ　ＭＥＮＴＩＯＮＳ　＆　ＲＵＮＮＥＲ　ＵＰＳ
Sometimes an artist has a difficult time choosing just one winner for an adopt, and will reward an HM (honorable mention) or RU (runner up) to other entries. HMs can be used to purchase customs when an artist opens custom slots. You can find the HM custom prices here. RUs are an additional cat designed by the artist that will belong to you.


ＥＤＩＴＩＮＧ　ＣＡＴＳ
Interested in editing an existing cat to better match their lore or personality? You can do this with edit items! You can earn edit items in explore, or purchase them from StarClan's shop with stardust.

To edit an existing cat, you must apply the edits via a color-in of the original drawing. You can ask the artist to add yourself or someone you're commissioning to the drawing to do so. Keep in mind that at this time you may only adjust the edits of a cat, not the coat. Any coat changes will get your approval denied. The event-exclusive white spotting revamp item (info here) is the only exception at this time.

After you've edited your cat, fill out a "using items" form on the archives to put them into the approval queue! If you only applied NR edits and didn't use any items, you can post them into #approval-for-myos channel in our Discord, or message them to either approval admin (I Like Bees or Mythz).


ＥＸＰＬＯＲＩＮＧ　／　ＰＡＴＲＯＬＬＩＮＧ
To start exploring, head on over to the explore thread and fill out the code provided! Explore is available to develop your cats and clan by sending them on patrols, where they can encounter various events and earn items along the way. This mechanic is also a great way to earn experience to level-up your clans and earn cool rewards!

Everything you need to know about explore is covered in-depth on the explore thread! You're welcome to contact Vivika or another applicable moderator with any questions you may have!


ＱＵＥＳＴＳ
Another way to gain experience, as well as develop your cats and clan, is to write and/or draw responses to the prompts provided on the quest board! Quests can vary from clan traditions, to lore, to something as specific as your founder's favorite prey.

These prompts are updated monthly, and will earn you exp based on how much effort you put into your response. To use this exp to level up and receive your level up rewards, you'll need to post an explore and link to the exp you earned from the quest board. Each prompt will have a few winners chosen as well, who will receive a cool additional prize! You'll also be able to earn stardust to purchase items from Starclan's shop.


ＬＥＶＥＬＳ
To level up, you'll need to earn experience (EXP / XP) through exploring, participating in quests, or sometimes even events! You'll earn +10XP for every explore post posted, as well as additional experience for writing, participating in battles, finding herbs/food, etc. Every time you level up, you get a reward!

When you level up, your previous experience is "spent" on the level up and will not roll over to your new level. For example, if you have 135XP and are level 0, you'll level up to level 1 and have 35XP left. You cannot skip levels.

All users start at level zero! Experience listed is how much is required to reach that level (+ here is another way to visualize this).
Level one: 100 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, +50 SD
Level two: 200 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, + 1 Herb, +1 Common Edit
Level three: 300 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +1 Herb, +1 NR MYO
Level four: 400 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Uncommon Edit, +1 Stellar Remnants
Level five: 500 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Random Custom, +150 SD
Level six: 650 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 Star's Blessing, +1 Boon Of Fertility, +100 SD
Level seven: 800 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 C MYO, +1 Shooting Star
Level eight: 950 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 Semi Custom, +300 SD, +1 1UC MYO
Level nine: 1000 xp | Rewards: +5 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 UN MYO, +1 Rare Edit
Level ten: 1200 xp | Rewards: +5 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 UR MYO
Level eleven: 1400 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 Supernova
Level twelve: 1600 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +6 Herbs, +1 Myth Edit


ＡＧＩＮＧ　ＵＰ
Kittens can grow to apprentices 3 weeks after their nursery ticket was accepted (or, in the case of adopts, the adopt was posted), and then to warriors after 6 weeks. Kittens without apprentice references will still take 6 weeks to grow to warriors. Apprentice adopts will grow to warriors 3 weeks after they were posted. If you'd like to grow your kits a little bit faster, the star's grace item in Starclan's shop can be used! This item removes 3 weeks off a cat's growth wait time.

To have your cat grown, you may politely bump the cat's page to remind the artist! Most artists will post growths without a reminder, and delays are often due to being busy in real life. There will be a date on the post telling you when your cat can grow.

Even after your cat's grown ref is posted, you are not required to grow your cat in lore! You're welcome to keep your cats any age in lore for as long as you'd like.

---------------Disciplines---------------
Striders are not built to carry riders, though they make up for this in intelligence. They are able to pull carriages, be guided by cues and perform various tricks. This has allowed them to perform in a lot of normal Equine sports with a few tweaks to the rules and requirements.

• Combined Driving - [english]
Team of 2-4 Striders pulling a carriage with a Driver and 1-2
attendants/passengers. Competing in 3 phases, Dressage,
Marathon and Obstacle Cones. Fewest penalty points wins.

• Harness Racing - [english]
A form of horse racing at a specific pace, usually a trot, with
a driver pulled by a small 2 wheeled chariot. First to cross
the finish wins.

• Show Jumping - [english]
A Strider guided by cues to jump over a series of fence
obstacles in a specific pattern within an allotted amount of
time. Fastest time wins.

• Skijorning - [english]
A winter sport where a Strider pulls their driver through a
snowy coarse with obstacles and jumps while on ski's. Least
amount of penalties and fastest time wins.

• Fine Harness - [english]
1 Strider pulls a 4 wheeled carriage around an arena with a
driver dressed in traditional attire. The Strider must
perform a high knee trot and long strides. Breaking the trot
is penalized. Highest score wins.

• Cutting - [western]
Lead by cues, a Strider will be tasked to keep 1 young
cow/steer away from the rest of the herd for a period of
time. Score will be determined by athleticism and reaction.
If the cattle escapes and makes it back to the herd they are
disqualified.

• Barrel Racing - [western]
A Strider will race around 3 barrels in the form of an upside
down T and back to the start as fast as possible. Penalties
add on time, fastest time wins.

• Pole Bending - [western]
A Strider will race to the top of an arena then weave
through 6 poles twice before racing back to the start.
Fastest time wins.

• Bucking Bronc - [western]
A Strider will have a strap tightened on their lower belly to
encourage bucking. Bags of sand will be attached to a
bucking harness. The Strider will be given 8 seconds to buck
off the bags. Each bag is a certain amount of points. Fastest
time and amount of bags wins.

• Horse Pulling - [western]
A team of 2 Striders will be hooked to a cart full of sand bags.
They will have to pull 3 different carts with 3 different
weights. Farthest pull wins.

• Halter - [other]
A Strider lead by halter will trot around the arena then stand
center and be judged by color, confirmation, and
temperament. Best Strider wins.

• Steeplechase - [other]
A race with various jumps consisting of hedges and ponds.
Fastest Strider wins.

• Endurance Racing - [other]
Striders are kept in barns at the starting location for a couple
months, then are taken very far away and released to run back
to their original location. Rest points are set up along course as
well as "protectors" to keep the Strider safe during their long
journey home. First Strider's to return "home" wins.

• Liberty - [other]
Owner and Strider will create a story telling performance to music
while performing various tricks with only cues and without tools
such as whips, ropes and rods. They are allowed to have various
costumes but it is not required. Judges look for performance,
timing, and story.

• Costume Showing - [other]
Contestants will lead their Striders through the Arena in hand made
costumes. They will then stand in the center to be judged. Judges
will be looking for Quality and Creativity. Best costume wins.

• Herd Position - [no discipline]
If your Strider still remains out in the wild or is too challenging to
tame they may not have any discipline at all. But all horses have a
position within the herd they are around. These positions are Alpha,
Lead, Beta, Middle-Ranking, and Submissive.
