Chimeric Collective CLOSED

Welcome!



Chimeric Collective is a closed species adoptable based on freely available lines by SkyGold (link) with the permission of SkyGold and wings by Happily Wrathful (link). All founder level chimeras have designs based entirely on a real world creature. It is only in the lab where two creatures become combined that the chimerism comes into play. When two creatures are combined in the lab the offspring will have features from each parent, determined randomly or a combination of the two, some mutations have also been known to occur.


Acquiring a Founder:
Step 1: To get a founder you must first have someplace to keep your chimeras as well as a information about them. This can either be a thread on Chicken Smoothie, a folder on ToyHouse, a Google Doc file, a custom website, or some other file easily accessible online by staff. You might have more then one Chimera and want to write about them so some options (spreadsheets) may be less then optimal, but are still allowed.

Step 2: Check the Oekaki thread for currently available chimeras or fill out the Founder Request Form in the Store thread. If a contest asks for an interaction between an existing Chimera feel free to create an imaginary Chimera for the contest.

Step 3: Once you have a founder you need to add a Bank to your storage location. For now it will just say "Bank", but as you acquire currency, items, and MYOs you will keep track of them here.

What's Next?
So you've gotten a founder and are wondering what happens next. First check the main thread for current contests and competitions for chances to earn rare items, but you can also start on your Lore. Answering questions about your new chimera earns you currency. You can answer with writing, art, or both. Additionally you can start looking for an NPC or other chimera to donate blood to form an offspring in the lab. It takes a lot of blood so each chimera can only create an offspring once every two months.

  • Examples: Average, Curly, Long, Short, Sparse, Dense, Slimy
Color: A very short description of the colors represented on the chimera
  • Examples: Gray Husky, Silver Leopard, Green Spotted -- Note: Very subjective per artist discretion
Color Modifiers: Typically rare aspects that modify the colors of the chimera
  • Examples: Iridescent, Melanistic, Albino, Glowing
Ears: Chimeric offspring can inherit ears from either parent, or rarely both!
  • Examples: Wolf, Cat, Bat, Slit, Fin, Axolotl, Deer
Nose: Chimeric offspring will inherit a nose from either parent
  • Examples: Canine, Feline, Beak, Equine, Insectoid
