Since I have no better way of explaining it, Viscets are basically otter-ferret-kangaroo-rabbit-raptor-things.

Anatomy wrote:

Viscets are large, agile creatures characterized by
✦Furred, raptor-like bodies
✦Wolf-like paws with opposable thumbs & sharp claws
✦Ferret-like muzzles & sharp fangs
✦Long ears
✦Double-ringed eyes, with a lighter inner ring of color
✦8ft in height and 12 in length
✦Some traits may vary.
✦Horns, antlers, scales, & spikes

Genders wrote:

✦Male and Female Viscets are almost identical both physically & socially, except for the obvious.
✦The only significant difference is the female's adapt ability to carry & balance with heavy objects, as they have to be in order to carry their eggs.
✦Male, Female, and Other-gendered Viscets are considered equal in terms of dominance and ranks within the pack
✦Only Viscets of opposite sexes can breed. Unisex creatures are usually infertile, and it is impossible for them or homosexual pairs to reproduce.
✦Viscets are entirely capable of gender expression and genders besides male and female are treated equally.

Distribution wrote:

✦Viscets are found on every continent but Antarctica.
✦They tend to inhabit temperate forest zones; not open plains or dense jungles, but somewhere in between.
✦They tend to avoid deserts, and remain near water sources.
✦Their lifestyle can be greatly impacted depending on their environment. While most live in forests, they are well-adapted to almost any environment.
✦They avoid urban and suburban areas unless in captivity.

Food wrote:

Viscets are Omnivorous. They feed on:
✦Fruit & berries
✦Nuts
✦Small mammals
✦Fish
✦Large mammals
✦Domestic animals
What they eat is directly effected by what is available in their environment. It's not unheard of for them to steal domestic animals, and will hunt down large prey in packs.

Social wrote:

✦Live in packs, the size of which depends on food & space available
✦Ruled by Alpha pair; The Alpha of a pure bloodline is considered more dominant over his or her mate.
✦Alpha may be passed on to heir, beta, or to a winning competitor.
✦Viscets are territorial, and mark their territory by clawing a tree up high; invaders will know how big their enemies are from the claw marks. They will chase cougars/wolves/large carnivores from their territory.
✦2 Viscets will spar with tooth and claw.

Relationship with Humans wrote:

✦Due to their friendly nature, they are adored by humans and protected in many places, but some often seek to hunt them for their exotic pelts. Some cultures even revere them as spirits.
✦Domesticated Viscets are popular at petting zoos, companion animals, and even therapy pets.
✦As pack animals, they are incredibly loyal and protective of their family.
✦They cannot speak any human language, but are extremely intelligent and easily trained.
✦Strays can exist in urban/surburban areas, even making packs.
✦Being large animals, they can be ridden by children and small/lightweight people.

Breeding wrote:

✦Go to the Nursery for breeding.
✦Viscets usually mate for life, but just like people, not all relationships are perfect.
✦Viscets may be any gender/sexuality, but only fertile pairs can successfully breed.
✦Mating season occurs in the late winter; a fragile egg is laid after 2 months; the egg hatches 2 weeks later.
✦The mother will stay with the egg, even carrying it with her out of the den. The father often fetches food and guards his family. That summer is spent raising the Viscling.
✦Viscling's hind legs are underdeveloped and they must walk on all fours.
✦They are considered independent at 1 year of age, but will not breed until 2 years of age. Their first breeding season, they will learn how to raise young, but will not do so until the following breeding season.
✦Nursery times are drastically shortened.

These are just the typical nature of the species in a realistic earth-setting. Anthro and etc. AUs are allowed, and your creativity is loved.

Basics. Split into sections for convenience.
Do note that the rules haven’t changed any, they’ve merely been condensed for easier understanding and reading.

[General Respect]

✦ All users and staff are required to be respectful. Discrimination isn’t tolerated.
✦ CS rules & policies still apply, respect and abide by them.
✦ Please note that by taking part in our species that you are agreeing to all rules and terms of this species.
✦ Do not poke at, bug, beg from, or otherwise harass other users within the community.

This includes anything from adopts, breedings, gifts, art, etc.

[Using as OCs]

✦ You are free to give your Viscets any personality, sexuality, etc, or make one your Fursona.
✦ Do not change your Viscet's anatomy or give them new items that mimic anatomy (e.g. robotic limbs).
✦ You may only alter small non-genetic aspects of your Viscet's appearance (scars, tattoos, etc), unless with permission or instruction from Mint Chip.
✦ No public nsfw, controversially offensive, or otherwise non-childfriendly material concerning Viscets.
✦ Feel free to make creative AUs for your Viscets (outside of their 'lore'), but respect others' AUs in their own threads (such as a realistic-themed RP with no magic allowed).
✦ Your viscet may identify as any gender BUT the biological gender cannot be changed after 30 days of ownership (unless gifted--see "Exchanges")

[Creation & Customs/MYOs]

✦ You must have permission (staff, GA, or MYO) to create a Viscet.
✦ A singular user cannot have more than 10 customs max. (as of 03.01.18)
✦ Once created you may not make changes to your adopts/batches for any reason (customs may be slightly edited with permission from Mint Chip)
✦ Non-artists may only create designs with a MYO Ticket
✦ For custom creation you can either ask an artist to create it or you can make it yourself, however, it must be done on the oekaki. No cover adopts or exceptions.
✦ Customs designs & their traits must be approved by Mint Chip to ensure it follows all rules before custom is posted.
✦ We host an endless Guest Artist competition to determine GAs each month here.
✦ GAs are selected for a 1 month term where they are allowed to create 5 regular main thread adopts.

[Community]

✦ Please ask before creating public threads. Personal threads (OC lists, 1v1 rps) are fine.
✦ You are in charge of regulating Viscet rules in your thread(s).
✦ Stream hosts are responsible for allowing bullying/harassment in their streams. Antagonists should be kicked and reported to Viscet staff.

To properly report the user to staff, screenshot for proof if possible and contact staff immediately with all the details.
✦ Your thread may have its own rules that you may enforce so long as they do not defy any rules listed here.
✦ Users may be banned from specific threads in particular rather than the whole community (partial-bans).

[ Adopting Viscets ]
Please read the Monthly Adopt Limits!

[Acquiring Viscets]

✦ You can only acquire Viscets from permitted artists, gifts, or permitted MYOs.
✦ To adopt a viscet, check our front page for the latest adopts. Ones with UFA symbols are open for adoption, just read the description for how to adopt them as they vary.
✦ Artists may host any kind of contests (raffles, fcfs, impress me, etc); respect how an artist hosts and judges their adopt(s).
✦ Do not use others' coding unless with permission and citation.
✦ Look for the end dates and their listed times. These are important indicators of whether the adopt is still ufa.
✦ Any contest may have a Snipe Guard at the artist's discretion (and may be extended 24+ hours if a snipe form has arrived). This is the artist's choice; do NOT harass for a snipe guard.
✦ Do not bump, PM, or otherwise harass an artist when a closed competition hasn't been judged.

You can leave a small (respectful) reminder via pm or bump only if the competition has gone unjudged for 30 days or longer.

[Monthly Adopt Limits]

✦ Don't feel like you have to memorize; please feel free to return for reference.
✦ See HERE for our old FAQ on our adoption & claim limits. Also previous in-depth written version rules for this page can be found here.
✦ You may adopt a limited number of Viscets from those created in a month
✦ (Note: Limit dictated by when the UFA was created (or gift was given), not when they were won)
✦ (updated 03.01.18) In one calendar month, you may acquire:

✦ 2 normal adopts (main thread, RU, grown abandoned batch) or 1 normal adopt & 1 gift
✦ 1 GA adopt
✦ 3 currency adopts (Stubs, C$ or DA-sales)
✦ 2 new Event Rare or Event adopt or event RU (directly from event)
✦ 1 new (bred or adopted) egg/juvenile
From those created or gifted within that month.
✦ Pre-owned readopts, PPS (including DA-bought), and your custom(s) do NOT count towards monthly limits!
✦ You may only win 1 Legendary adopt or use 1 Ultra Batch Potion used per calendar year (renewed Jan 01)
✦ Co-owning DOES count towards BOTH owners' monthly limits
✦ If you apply for multiple Viscets a month and win your max, you MUST inform the artists of the other applied Viscets (via pm, comment, or noticeable form edit) that you are ineligible to win (may still win HMs/Stubs) or withdraw entirely.
✦ We recommend you limit how many adoptions you enter a month.
✦ It is your responsibility as the individual trying out or claiming ownership to keep up with your own limits. Staff will keep record as well, but it is your responsibility to ensure you do not go over your limits.
✦ Viscets won beyond your monthly limit(s) WILL be revoked

✦ If you use multiple accounts (including off site) to cheat the monthly limit(s), your Cets may be revoked/resold.
✦ You must claim RUs offers within 30 days of announcement or it will be voided.

✦ *Ultra Batch Potions or UBPs are rarer potions that give a specific legendary offspring from a breeding without having a legendary parent of that type or at all. These count for your 1 allotted Legendary win in a calendar year the same as winning a legendary normally.

please note that legendary readopts or community hosted batches put ufa do not count against this limitation. they count as readopts, which are limitless.

[Breeding Information]

See Nursery and Hatchery for info.

[ Honorable Mentions & Stubs ]
*Only necessary to read when you have been awarded an HM or stubs from a competition.
Please see the Stub Shop for the full details

[ General Info ]

✦ What are Stubs? Stubs are our personal viscet currency.
✦ Stubs cannot be purchased from Mint Chip in any quantity; they are not sold by staff but earned through various means.
✦ They are obtained in several ways; most common way is by participating in contests and winning an HM.
✦ An HM stands for Honorable Mention.
✦ Stubs can be given out in 3 increments. Based on what the artist thinks of effort you put into your form.

✦ HM - x1 Stub
✦ HM - x2 Stubs
✦ RU Trade-in - x3 Stubs
✦ RU trade-in is a transaction of taking an RU offer and exchanging it for stubs instead of a RU. This can only be done before the RU has been accepted and created.
✦ Also obtainable by participating in Official Community events that are hosted by the staff.
✦ Stubs cannot be gained via Referrals.
✦ Stubs are also trade-able for c$, pets, art, and on occasion viscets (adoptables marked with blue ufa symbol).
✦ Stubs Adopts can only be bid on and purchased with Stubs.
✦ The value of Stubs varies but the rough base estimate is 18 c$ in equivalence.
✦ Stubs can be traded for MYO tickets as well, see the Stub Shop for more details.
✦ To exchange stubs or add them to your bank; please contact the Stub archivist finifugal ✨.

[ PPS and Reverse PPS Viscets ]
*Only necessary to read when you are considering adopting PPS visclings or using a reverse pps potion.

[Rules]

✦ PPS adopts & currency adopts are unlimited. Meaning you can win as many as you'd like in a month.
✦ If you wish to reverse a pps or grow it to adult, please see the [url]full rules located here.[/url]

[ Gifting, Readopting or Disowning Viscets ]
*Only necessary to read when you engage in Gifting, Readopting, or Disowning Viscets.

[Rules]

✦ Viscets may not be traded (for other OCs, viscets, etc).
✦ You may disown a Viscet by contacting Mint Chip or James. and the Viscet's creator/artist. You may let staff handle it or host a readoption yourself (in which it must be judged within 40 days of the end date).
✦ To gift a Viscet notify the receiver, an Ownership Archivist, and the original artist. If the Artist is not available to edit the form Mint Chip will comment on the Viscet with proof of the exchange.
✦ The new owner may change the biological gender (DFAB/DMAB) as long as it has not previously bred (ever).
✦ Tickets & potions may be traded and gifted freely.

[Reselling Viscets]

✦ Viscets may only be sold for equal or less than they were purchased for.
✦ If a viscet was not purchased (e.g. raffle, free contest), then it may not be sold (including nursery or hatchery batches).

[Cool-Downs]

✦ A user cannot gift out more than 3 Viscet in one month, regardless of reason.
✦ Multiple Viscets may be given in one one-way transaction to separate individuals.
✦ A user can only receive 1 gift from the same individual per calendar month.
✦ There is a 30 day limit for transactions between 2 users; if you recently gifted to a user, you cannot receive from the same user for 30 days, and vice-versa (trade prevention).'
✦ A Viscet must be owned for 30 days without being bred before being gifted unless stated in the original adoption form (ex: "If I win I'd like to give this Viscet to _")
✦ Disowning a Viscet for readoption does not count towards Exchange limits.
✦ Disowned viscets are placed on a waiting list to be put ufa by staff at a later date.

[ Transferring Out Viscets ]
Only important to individuals considering leaving the species.

[Basic Info]

✦ Currently we do not allow for viscet designs on adopts, RUs or batches to be transferred out.
