rules-squishums must link back to this thread or to my toyhouse for credit
-don't claim to own squishums you don't own
-don't claim the squishums base as your own
-don't edit your squishums without the required items + permissions
-be kind and respectful of others (no guilt tripping, begging, character attacks, etc.)
-cross trading is allowed with other umas that allow it!
-you may resell purchased squishums, but not freely obtained ones. any squishum may be traded for other squishums or squishum items, and other uma items / adopts if that uma allows it!
-transfers into the species from other uma, or from ocs, must be done by an artist and given final approval.
info species info and traits:
There are no rarity tiers for individual aquatic traits (i.e shape of the spikes, fins, shells, transparency, aquatic related tail, etc). Non-aquatic traits such as object body parts, living body parts, feathered wings, mammalian traits, glitch, etc,. are less common but are not illegal. Some traits may be exclusive to events.
always present traits
all squishums must have some amount of bounce, although it can vary per individual and per cornucopia. they must also have some sort of nose protrusion. sometimes these nose bumps can vary in shape, size, and length!
illegal traits
no squishum will have actual claws (they may have nubbed feet that 'mimic' claws or talons, though). squishums may not have nostrils as they breathe through their skin.
mini lore dump:
faq Can I edit my form for a cornucopia (batch)? You can edit raffle forms, but not FCFS. Editing FCFS forms will eliminate you from adopting with that form. If you need to edit, you may quote your previous form or post a new form.
Can I adopt more than one per cornucopia? You may only adopt one from each copia, even if the copia has different adoption types for each squishum (i.e if you pay, you cannot get a free raffle from that batch as well).
How can I breed my squishums? Breeding is not currently set up! It will come soon, though.
Is there a maximum of how many squishums I can own? Nope!
Are you hiring? If so, how do I apply? When there are open artist, mod, or other slots I will post an announcement with a close date + add the form in the staff section. You'd then just dm the form to me filled out.
I'm interested in being an artist/mod/other staff. What benefits do staff get? Staff can create unlimited customs of any type as long as they have been active in the last month. They may take and do two personal breedings for every month of activity. Activity means actively participating in the species and performing duties- artists must make one copia, and mods must interact with the community- either through discord or through custom approvals or thread help.
Are squishums adoptable with USD/c$/CS pets and items/etc? Yes! Sometimes there will be paid cornucopias, and the payment is up to the artist. 100% of an artist's copia sales goes directly to the artist.
How can I acquire squishum items? The quickest way to obtain squishum items is through the shop. These can be bought with all sorts of currency, including squishum based currency, and will usually not have stock amounts. You will also be able to find them occasionally in explore, along with random squishums! There will also be give-aways and raffles and the such.
Are there any cooldowns for trading? You must wait a week after getting a squishum to trade it. Make sure to follow the trading rules as well!
What do you mean by 'non-owner'? As long as you don't currently own any squishums, you are considered a non-owner. In progress customs do not count towards ownership.
Will there be a discord/exploration/other feature? They are currently in the works!
Can I transfer in/out other OCs or UMAs? Yes! There will be an affordable transfer item in the shop, and a section in the customs thread to submit for transfer approvals. You can also transfer out at any time with approval from the copia artist + notifying Paro, and posting the transfer out form in the same thread as the transfer-in. Transfer cooldown (how soon you can transfer out from the species) is a week after acquiring the squishum.
What is 'Chickentime?' Chickentime is Chickensmoothie's time, which can be found on the time page. This is the standard time used to announced releases, event times, etc, as it is easily referenceable and findable by anyone on site.
