Species information/notes

Lore Foxes are assistants used by magic-users in libraries and act as wonderful historians and messengers, gathering up and hoarding scrolls. They survive on knowledge itself, and thus are constantly searching to learn more and more to keep healthy and content.

All lore foxes carry a source of knowledge with them, as it is necessary for their summoning and often they place their favorite stories on these blank books/pages. These can be anything that can provide a story (within reason); including books, scrolls, etched/carved tablets, papers, carved jewelry, origami with writing on it, ect. for a more modern take, things like laptops-ipods, cell phones, ebooks,ect are also allowed.

Their source of knowledge is essentially their heart, their tether to life. It can sustain some damage, and is significantly more durable/strong than a regular scroll/book/ect; but if it is destroyed they too will vanish from the world. Lore foxes are summoned through these knowledge sources, and they are strongly tied to who they are. When provided, these objects are blank paper that the fox will fill up with elements making up their personality and what is important to them. Some, with more than others. All sources must be large enough for at least a paragraph to fit. The fox cannot go further than a few feet from these documents, or they will begin to suffer great pain.

First generation foxes may have their own families, by tearing off small parts of their own summonings and combining their stories with another lore fox; creating kits; Second generation foxes become blends of their parent's stories and lifestyles.

Technically speaking, the lore fox is the book/scroll/ect itself; only using the mammalian-creature as a vessel/way of moving and interacting with the world. If the 'fox' piece is destroyed or hurt, it will recover or be reborn magically so long as its 'heart' is intact.

Customs

When they want to, Artists may open up slots for customs, either for payment (excluding USD) OR open slots for starter semi-customs for new additions to the species!

These are meant to be rare/will not be open all the time. Your main method of obtaining lore foxes are adopts or nursery.

Basic species rules

-they are free- you may not sell them. Gifting and readopting is allowed. Trading for other lore foxes is allowed.
-** IF THEY ARE PAID CUSTOMS via the customs thread; than you may sell them ONLY for what you purchased them for** Only paid customs may be sold.
-They are closed-dont make them without permission.
-you can have as many as you want
-You may not co-own them.
-no stealing/claiming to own ones that you dont.
-No drama, being rude, or hateful to community or staff
-Dont whine if you dont win- theres always next time.
-Dont change an adopted design without permission (accessories dont need permission to be added)
-You are welcome to use them in any AU you please. They are not required to stay in the canon universe. Any gender/sexuality/ect is perfectly fine.
-breeding only permitted through the official nursery, don't breed your own
-may be removed from species with my permission + permission of the artist if its not me
-They are meant to be sort of generic shaped for easy drawing(Fennec fox+library/fantasy theme) ; I wont ever accuse you of stealing for having a similar character and I ask the same respect; just don't claim its one of these if they aren't. The lore + community is what matters.
-I will never revoke a design if you are banned from the species; unless the designs are stolen/scammed in the first place and under extreme circumstances. If you are banned, you will be asked to make new references/take your characters off species and do not use their lore fox artwork.

Staff rules/terms

-Guest artists may make 3 designs, and will be awarded a common custom once they are completed.
-After completion, they will be considered for full time artist.

-Full staff receive a 2-rare trait custom at the end of each month they are active
-To count as active, staff must complete at least two free things for the community during the month (Adopts, starter customs, or nursery batches)
-Staff are permitted to open customs for payment, acceptable payments are DA points, art, characters, C$, Cs pets. USD may NOT be accepted for these customs. Other payment types, ask me. These customs do NOT count towards their staff activity, UNLESS you do free non starter customs.
