announcement

hello, i'm looking for a trial co-owner/other staff positions for my species, arcanthera. preferably someone with experience running/moderating a species. i'm looking for someone who can build it into a functioning arpg and help balance it, as well as plan out the structure of future events and what not.

my activity on cs is inconsistent because of college and other life events but i still want to share this species with people as i put a lot of time and love into them.

familiarize yourself with the lore/universe these guys are set in before you apply. i am open to possible critiques and revisions, i have a hard time smoothing out the finer details.

if you are interested, pm me to discuss or ask for my discord tag so we can talk there.

the species
arcanthera [ar-kan-theh-ruh] plural: arcanthera, arcantherans, adjective: arcantheran
arcan- (from arcane) + -thera (from panthera) = arcanthera
synonyms|| pantheryc plural: pantheryx

noun
xxxx1. a fictional species of big cat with magical properties, native to the domains of land arcana. can shift between feral/quadrupedal form (typical lion build) and anthro/bipedal form (walk on two legs, have hands and opposable thumbs for humantype craft). divided into the three subspecies of panfaera, pandemona, and pangelic, as well as the unclassed panneutroid. hybrids among these subspecies also exist. the faction alignments are as follows: faeric, netheric, aetheric, factionless and complex alignment.

◇◇◇

arcanthera adopts

this semi-open species centers around magic big cat adoptables and has a lore-driven focus. i'm planning on adding arpg (animal roleplaying game) elements to it in the future, wherein writing and art submissions merit rewards and progression.

the centerpoint of the lore is faction divisions, there's three main factions (a faerie faction, a demon faction and an angel faction) that are constantly in conflict with each other, which makes for potential drama for stories. there is base lore to work off of but also a lot of freedom for users to build their own writings and even send their adopts out to other universes if they wish.

i hope to bring people together to write and draw and have fun with their own individual and joint stories!

◇◇◇

the adopt system
how do i adopt?
01. read and understand the rules of the species, and familiarize yourself with the basic lore.
02. adopts are put up under the main page cover. click on an adopt to check if it is available for adoption.
03. read the requirements for adoption laid out by the artist. you may be competing with other people interested in adopting.
04. fill out the form and wait for the end of the contest.
05. the artist will choose a winner out of the forms and that person now has ownership of the adopt. runner-ups may or may not be given.
06. you may register your adopted pantheryc at the lore registry to update details (such as time period, spirit attachment, etc.).
07. once you reach the initial ten-adopt limit, you must make a storage thread for your pantheryx.
08. if you want to increase your adopt slots or buy from the store, you must make a prompt storage thread. your completed works can be submitted on the prompt submission thread.



the lore system
what can i do?
01. write about biographical information about your pantheryc, like its personality, history, strengths, weaknesses, fears and ambitions.
02. write about the setting they live in, and expand upon the provided base lore.
03. create NPCs (non-player characters, or unofficial characters) to fill in the world of the land arcana. you may use NPC writing you've created for future adopts if you wish. NPCs should be created to supplement your official adopt's own background.
04. develop the relationships and interactions among your adopts.
05. discuss your stories with other users and make joint writings and interactions between your adopts.
06. make art of your adopt.
07. any other creative pursuit you can think of that is in line with the above.

writing and art will be submittable in the future when spirits and the shop are implemented. they can be used to redeem points.

◇◇◇

the general rules
01. all cs rules apply. do not use the species in a way that violates cs rules.
02. i don't own the concept of magic lions, but i did create this art and lore. do not steal, copy or claim to own this species.
03. this is a semi-open species, so customs on the main lineart are only offered via MYOs or events. you may make your own pantheryx, but you must use a different base or lineart.
04. we reserve the right to restrict the abilities of or ban major rule breakers/repeat offenders. there is a possibility that adopts owned by banned members will be reclaimed by the species and readopted.
05. rules may be added or modified over time.
06. as of now, you may own up to ten adopts. adopt slots can be increased via prompts.



the adopt rules
01. do not remove or obscure my signature.
02. do not use adopts that are not your own. give appropriate credit to the species owner (me) and the artist of the design you own, especially when used off-site.
03. link back here if used off-site.
04. adopts may be gifted. adopts may be traded for other adopts within this species, and/or items. you must post updates of ownership on the respective thread.
05. if you attained a free adopt, you may not sell it for any kind of currency.
06. if you bought a paid adopt, you may resell it for the same value.
07. there is a 60-day cooldown before you are allowed to change ownership (gift/trade/sell) of an adopt, starting from when you first attain it.
08. you may trade adopts once a month.
09. do not make major design changes to your adopt (unless you have an item that allows you to do so).
10. you may decorate and use the extra reference as you please, and can add any omitted details (palette, blood color, tongue color, paw color, full design of obscured body parts like folded wings [a lion's design is presumed symmetrical and must remain so, unless an artist specifies asymmetry], expression, stylization of lineart to your own, facial features, body type, items). any design additions must be in line with the artist's design, and use only colors and design elements present on the main base.
11. edited linearts may be re-used for new designs through the 'color me in' function. adopts created this way are labelled as follows: if the original adopt with an edit is #123, an adopt under its cover with a different design (but the same edit lineart) will be labelled #123.A, another would be #123.B, etc.
12. paid adopts can be taken out of the species on request, free adopts cannot.



the lore rules
01. the adopts may not be in ince​stuous relationships, or ones with significant age gaps.
02. free adopts must adhere to canon lore (if you want to make your own universe with magic lions you're more than free to).
03. you may make non-canon content of your adopt in (alternate universes) AUs for fun, with altered base lore not founded on the official framework, but they cannot be used as canon pieces. alternatively, canonically the pantheryx are capable of leaving the land arcana dimension to explore other universes, so you have the freedom to build universes for them to enter that function differently from their home universe. their abilities remain the same wherever universe they are in.
04. pantheryx do not start with magic powers (other than their passive ability). they are equipped with effect magic by the spirits they bind with.
05. pantheryx cannot inherently use their magic powers without a spirit as a conduit. think of the spirits as the device that enacts the magic, while the pantheryc's magic reserve provides the fuel to power it.
06. pantheryx can be any gender and orientation possible in humans, as they have the same level of identity and self awareness. pantheryx of any gender can breed.



the community rules
01. always be kind and respectful, to both members and staff.
02. do not whine, guilt trip or beg.
03. you do not need to own a pantheryc to interact with the species, feel free to be part of the community regardless.
04. out of respect, do not message a user to ask if their adopt is for trade. only offer if the user has expressed interest in trading.

arcane
adjective
xxxx1. known or understood by very few; mysterious; secret; obscure; esoteric:

panthera
noun
xxxx1. a genus of chiefly large cats that includes the snow leopard, tiger, leopard, jaguar, and lion, most having the ability to roar.

◇◇◇

the subspecies


panfaera [pan-fey-ruh] plural: panfaera, adjective: panfaeric
pan- (from panthera) + fae- (from faerie) + -ra (from panthera) = panfaera

noun
xxxx1. the faerie subspecies of arcanthera, native to the faeros.




pandemona [pan-deh-moh-nah] plural: pandemona, adjective: pandemonic
(from pandemonium) + pan- (from panthera) + demon (from demon) + -a (from panthera) = pandemona

noun
xxxx1. the demon subspecies of arcanthera, native to the nethos.




pangelic [pan-jeh-lik] plural: pangelica, adjective: pangelic
pan- (from panthera) + angelic- (from angelic)) = pangelic

xxxx1. the angel subspecies of arcanthera, native to the aethos.



• panneutroid [pan-noo-troyd] plural: panneutryx, adjective: panneutric
  pan- (from panthera) + neutr- (from neutral) + -oid = panneutroid
  
  noun
  xxxx1. a pantheryc that cannot be classified into the main three subspecies. any pantheryc born outside of the land arcana (in a different universe) will have no species-specific traits and no natural alignment. panneutryx can enter the land arcana to join a faction or may remain factionless.
  
  
  
• hybrid
  
  noun
  xxxx1. a pantheryc that is a hybrid of any of the previous four classifications. they can possess a mix of species-specific traits of their parents.

◇◇◇

the species components

• aurora
  noun
  xxxx1. the inherent magical energy contained within an arcantheran.
  
  
  
• wing presence
  noun
  xxxx1. the growth of wings on arcanthera of the main three subspecies. each subspecies has a specific wingtype, with panfaera having insect wings, pandemona having leather wings, and pangelica having feathered wings. the wings are imbued with magical energy, which allows flight for even those with wings that would be biologically incapable of flight, because of its anatomical design or from being too small.
  
  
• wing development
  noun
  xxxx1. the growth of wings in an arcantheran begins in adolescence. cubs are born without wings but eventually develop small nubs connected to their shoulder muscles, which get larger as they grow older. adolescent arcantherans can practice flight but overall have little control over their newfound abilities. proper flight is manageable once they reach adulthood.
  
  
• passive ability
  noun
  xxxx 1. a physical quirk that a pantheryc is born with. it affects or is a product of the anatomy of the individual. the passive ability is separate from spirit magic, as it is caused by inherent magic, and only alters the lion's own body - a passive ability does not create a direct, tangible, purposeful, controllable effect on others like spirit magic does. the gene for having a passive ability is recessive, which means that both parents must at least be carriers of the gene for a cub to be born with a passive ability.

◇◇◇

the faction alignments


faeric faction
noun
xxxx1. an arcantheran faction that predominantly is composed of panfaera. the value that unites them is the pursuit of beauty.




netheric faction
noun
xxxx1. an arcantheran faction that predominantly is composed of pandemona. the value that unites them is the pursuit of freedom.




aetheric faction
noun
xxxx1. an arcantheran faction that predominantly is composed of pangelica. the value that unites them is the pursuit of order.



• factionless
  noun
  xxxx1. an arcantheran with no factional alignment. factionless individuals and small groups can be found on the island of nethos, as well as scattered throughout the faeros, nethos and aethos.
  
  
  
• complex faction alignment
  noun
  xxxx1. a term to refer to arcantherans whose factional alignment is divided or complicated, whether by birth, by loyalty or by circumstance.

◇◇◇

the geographical divisions

• land arcana
  noun
  xxxx1. a magical realm where arcanthera are the dominant lifeform, divided into the domains of the faeros, the aethos, the nethos, and the neutros. it is bordered by the realm of the branching domain of the spiraros.
  
  
  
• domain
  noun
  xxxx1. a division of territory within the land arcana. all factions are constantly seeking to expand their respective domains.
  
  
  
  
  xxxfaeros
  noun
  xxxx1. the domain of faeries, hosts the native subspecies of panfaera and is primarily owned by the faeric faction.
  
  
  
  
  nethos
  noun
  xxxx1. the domain of demons, hosts the native subspecies of pandemona and is primarily owned by the netheric faction.
  
  
  
  
  aethos
  noun
  xxxx1. the domain of angels, hosts the native subspecies of pangelica and is primarily owned by the aetheric faction.
  
  
• neutros
  noun
  xxxx1. the neutral domain, home to some arcanthera of no factional alignment. it is difficult to navigate and resources are difficult to harvest leading it to be of no interest to the warring factions, which has allowed it to be declared incontestably neutral territory.
  
  
• spiraros
  noun
  xxxx1. the domain of spirits, existing separately from the rest of the land arcana. it is accessible to the arcanthera only through sealed off portals in the neutros that opens to those that meet the conditions for entry.
  
  xxxx2. time is illusory here, so an arcantheran may find themselves foraying for unknown periods of real (land arcana) time, ranging from a few minutes to a record of, upon exiting the portal, being transported several centuries into the future. no matter how many arcanthera are present within the domain, they will never run into each other, always walking the path alone, as the domain creates individual routes for each prospective charmer. once an arcantheran successfully charms a spirit, it is teleported back to the portal in the land arcana.

◇◇◇

the beings

• spirit
  noun
  xxxx1. a collection of consciousness and energy, sought after by pantheryx for containing aurora activation components. genderless beings whose complexity of character is limited to each respective spirit's core traits. can take any shape or form it prefers. can bind with a host arcantheran.
  

◇◇◇

the phenomena

• guild plural: guilds
  noun
  xxxx1. a subsector of a faction consisting of a community of arcanthera that live and work together within the same geographical boundaries. each guild is self-governed but operate under the same agenda and motivations as the whole of the faction. allied guilds within geographical range usually hold monthly meetings.

the design guidelines

• keep my signature visible.
  
• the artist determines what subspecies the design falls under.
• when a design is adopted, remove the BG to make the main reference transparent.
• be familiar with and follow the traits and alignments.
• generally, avoid or be careful with using direct, tangible symbols (emoji-recognizable) as markings. make sure it's not jarring on the design. lean more to natural designs based from nature, or abstract patterning.
• if the wings intersect the mane, erase the intersecting parts of the back wing to have the mane in between the two wings.
• the extra reference is optional to fill out/customize/complete. you can leave it be if you wish. can be filled in and personalized by the adopter.
• any add-ons like shading/texture can count as modifications to the lines.
• you can come up with a passive ability for each adopt as well (or let the adopter decide). refer to official adopts to see examples of passive abilities, as well as the guidelines.
• designs may be inspired by pre-existing media or characters, however they may not be direct copies. they must be standalone designs.
• you may make a paid design for at least every two free designs.
• fill out the form below when posting an adopt:

alignments
the different species and lore divisions and typings



species
by birthplace, by parental alignments
all are pantheryx
some are arcantheran, some are outborn
all outborn are panneutroid
all arcantheran are fullblood panfaera, fullblood pandemona, fullblood pangelic, or hybrid

outborn - regardless of parent's alignment, any pantheryc born outside of the land arcana is a panneutroid; outborn by birth place, panneutroid by species
fullblood - pantheryc that contains traits of a single subspecies
hybrid - pantheryc that contains traits of more than one subspecies
monotypic breeding - both parents are fullbloods
monohybrid cross - one parent is fullblood, one parent is hybrid
dihybrid cross - both parents are hybrids




traits
by inheritance, by mutation
panfaera-exclusive

• base color: can only be unnatural
  
• animal alignment: arthropods
• body modification: exoskeleton, pincers, antenna, plantlife, extra legs
  
  pandemonic-exclusive
• base color: can only be dark
• animal alignment: reptile
• body modification: scales, goo, spikes, bones, extra mouths
  
  pangelic-exclusive
• base color: can only be light
• animal alignment: bird
• body modification: feathers, runes, metal, extra wings, extra eyes
  
  panneutroid
• cannot have subspecies-specific traits
  
  hybrid
• mix of traits of parents
  
  
  
  
  passive ability
  by genetics
  can have a passive ability, can lack one
  those who lack a passive ability can carry the gene for it or not carry the gene for it
  
  
  
  
  aurora
  by inheritance, by training
  percentages of proportion (between melee capacity and magic capacity) are genetically determined
  melee capacity versus magic capacity divide (think of it like a game bar, divided into two sections)
  
  fullblood have complete magic capacity and no melee capacity (fullbloods are physically weak)
  panneutroid have complete melee capacity and no magic capacity (panneutroids have no magic)
  hybrids have varying proportions of magic and melee capacity (the ratio of a hybrid's physical vs. magic power varies per individual)
  
  training experience can accumulate to gradually max out a capacity
  
  aurora - amount of magical energy in a lion, a lion's inherent power capacity and ability to wield
  melee - absence of aurora means a lion's physical body is trainable in melee action, the less aurora the more melee potential
  power bar - each lion has the same number of points of power bar, either purely magic, purely melee, equal division of magic and melee, or unequal division of magic and melee
  magic user - a pantheryc that can use magic
  melee user - a pantheryc that can use melee
  dual user - a pantheryc that can use both magic and melee
  magic main - a pantheryc's choice to mainly focus on training their magic
  melee main - a panthryc's choice to mainly focus on training their melee
  dual main - a pantheryc's choice to focus on training both magic and melee at the same rate
  true dual - a pantheryc with an equal division of magic and melee that focuses on training both at an equal rate
  apex power - a power percentage that has reached its maximum level
  apex minor - a pantheryc that has achieved 50% of the whole power bar (combination of completion of both sides)
  apex major - a pantheryc that has achieved maximum power capacity (unspecificed whether melee, arcana or both)
  apex warrior - a pantheryc (always panneutroid) that has achieved maximum possible melee power capacity
  apex arcana - a pantheryc (always fullblood) that has achieved maximum possible magic power capacity
  apex dual - a pantheryc (always hybrid) that has achieved the maxium power capacity of both sides of a dual power bar
  
  
  
  
  wield
  by spirit
  magic specialization in:
