Magic Falconry Academy

Postby kiwipen » Sat Dec 03, 2022 3:30 pm

Greetings, mage. So you want to dabble in magic falconry? You're in the right place. Here we dedicate ourselves to the care, training, and utilization, of magic birds. Magic Falconry is not limited to just Falcons and other birds of prey; you'll find many of these birds are reminiscent of other birds with their own magical twists.

So, what are you waiting for? Found a Mews and find your new feathered companion today!


Magic Falconry Academy is under the Kiwi family of species; underneath it's umbrella, several bird species are adopted out.
The main bird species available for adopt at this time is the Hearthoot. They are sister species to Storkatten.

In Magic Falconry Academy, raise, train, and breed magical birds of prey. You can choose to think of your birds as owned and raised by humans, or existing out in the wild; or everything and anything in between or out of this idea.

About Hearthoots
Hearthoots are many a mage's first chosen companion bird. They are predisposed to being quite affectionate towards handlers and other members of their species. They are very peaceful creatures to those of their own kind; war and violence are unheard of for them. They are curious, inquisitive, and keen to learn magic. They are also known to have larger clutches than other birds in the Falconry Academy; the average clutch size being two to three.

Rules


All birds here fall under my species umbrella, and therefore have a TOS you can read here:
Universal Species TOS

Here are a few additional stipulations to keep in mind....

Conduct
You may create your own individual 'tracker' for a Bird by coloring it in and making your own copy in the Oekaki after being added. If you're unable to use the Oekaki, maintaining the tracker on the main artist form is fine.
Please do not edit your Birds unless you've had the appropriate items earned and approved by moderators.
You will be added to your Birds' reference, please do not edit any new versions of the Birds unless you're allowed to.


Trackers
All Trackers for each individual bird should be posted and maintained either on the official post by the artist, or on your colorin version. Either way, it must remain on ChickenSmoothie. [Off-Oekaki Birds are allowed to have an Off-Oekaki tracker]
Recommended; Publicly adopted Birds should be maintained on a colorin version of them; customs, breedings, babies, etc. should be maintained on the original post by the artist.
--Bird trackers should track the prompts they've completed.
Additionally, creating a Mews Tracker is required. You can do so in the Character Storage forum, or on Toyhou.se, or another place that works for you; just no Google Docs/Sheets. You may create multiple mews trackers if you want to maintain multiple mews, that is entirely up to you.

Mews

To participate in this game, you are responsible for your founding, upkeep, and tracking of your Mews; where your magical birds are stored. Every Mews has unlimited storage for birds.

Roleplay-wise, your Mews can be anything, as long as it can reasonably house and accommodate a group of magical birds. That being said, mechanically, each Mews must have the following;

  • A place to store and display all owned magical birds. (Categories by breed, gender, etc. optional)
  • A place to store and display all trackers for off-Oekaki magical birds.

What this looks like, and where it's hosted, is up to you. Feel free to use Google Docs, Toyhou.se, or a post in the Character Storage forum.

Please note; Mews is a singular pronoun, rather than a plural pronoun. Use it in place of 'den' 'lair' or any other noun.

Breeding
Birds of any gender combination can have children.
Adoptables here, unless otherwise stated, have unlimited breeding spots.

Hearthoots have clutch sizes of one to five, with more eggs cropping up with more leveled hearthoots.

Staff, Artist Guidebook, Pay ETC

We have so many staff and artists that we are no longer listing them here for now! The list will be updated in due time.

Guidebook
Notice; Do not give free adoptables or customs to accounts that are younger than 3 months old, unless they have been personally vouched for already by a respected member of the community. Paid adoptables and WTA/DTA's are fine.
If you need to take an extended break, and will be uncontactable, please let us know ahead of time. Failure to respond to inquiries regarding owed work in a week, will result in your removal as a staff member. - 7/12/2022
You must add kii to every canvas of every Bird you make, including Indie Batches, Mystery Adopts, mass adopts, and one-offs. - If you disappear, I will still be able to step in and dish out the remaining owed adopts, and you give me consent to do so by applying to be an artist and making big batches of Birds. [ 7/12/2022 ]
As an artist, you're expected to make one free adoptable every month you're active.
How much you earn past that is up to you. Free adoptables [including free customs] earn you 2 Artist Points each; paid adoptables [including paid customs ] earn you 1 Artist Point each.
Free nursery adopts earn you 4 Artist Points per adopt; Paid nursery adopts earn you 2 artist points per adopt.
You can earn Banking Points as well by updating your adoptables in the archive; Banking Points are used interchangeably with Artist Points.
You can spend your Artist Points at the Bird shop. You're required to keep track of your Artist Points with a tracker.
If you do not judge your competition within a month, you give Bird staff permission to judge it for you. 6/6/2022/ This includes doing whatever we have to do, whether it's making new canvases for other people to get their cats, or uploading your cat designs to our Indie Archive, to make sure the people get their cats. [ 7/12/2022 ]
Here is the thread you can use to track that;
Customs are posted on the main thread, your artist MYO are made in the MYO thread.
new; 12/17/2021 you earn an additional standard myo (on top of any artist points) for the first free adopt you make a month.



MYO Approvals
Artists can and should help with MYO approvals. You earn Staff Points for this action, so rest assured your work is paid :)
The official protocol for approving MYO are....

  • Ensuring that the traits listed match the MYO on the canvas.
  • Ensuring that the traits and magic listed match the allowance of the MYO being used.
    -- If neither of these things line up, stop here, and tell them what to fix. Do not proceed until it's in an approvable state.
  • If the Bird is approvable, open up the archive and assign the design an ID# in the MYO tab. Fill out applicable information (such as applicable magic, trait rarity, and artist / owner ) Link the post or image code of the design in the ID# spot.
  • Comment or reply to the person seeking the approval, and tell them their ID #. Tell them their design is approved.

You earn 2 Staff Points for this action; 1 for Approving it, and 1 for filling out the information on the archive. You earn 1 Staff Point for sending an adopt back for approvals if it needs it.
This protocol works for on and off-Oekaki MYOs.

Off-Oekaki DIY Nursery approvals work similarly; approve the baby birds like you would a normal DIY Nursery breeding, and still assign them ID #'s in the MYO archive. Send back any baby birds that need approval, and only approve the whole batch when ALL baby birds are in approvable states. Fill out all information that you can in the archive for the baby birds; if fates are not listed, inform the person that they will need to update the ownership information on the Bank Update page or reply to the comment with their fates and link it in the Discord.

You earn a staff point for each baby bird approved, and a staff point for each baby bird archived.

Indie Adopts
Indie adopts are adoptables not made on the main Bird lines or canvas. As an artist, this is considered a privilege, and there are some special steps you need to take to make it function smoothly.

  • Make your Birds!
  • Reserve their ID #'s in the archive [ to do so, make the ID#'s and then slap your artist name in the artist field]
  • Fill out any applicable information you know before posting (such as known traits, magic, etc. if Off-Oekaki Custom, you can include the owner here.)
  • Post your adopt, and link the post on the ID#'s in the archive.
  • Update information if you can, otherwise ask an archivist for help.

That's it! Reserving the ID # is very important so we can all number them appropriately. Thank you.





All artists, moderators, and admins are required to be respectful and kind while interacting with the community.
If a member of staff goes quiet and does not do a job-related task for three months, they are removed from their post.
Artists are required to post the following forms with all their created Birds.
Bankers and archivists earn 1 Staff Point per task they complete and that money can be spent at the shop too.
You are now required to log your work in our work-log channel on Discord.

Magic

All birds here are born with the potential to learn, if not outright practice, magic. You can tell the magic they are born with by the color of their eyes.

The birds here, much like their sister species, Storkatten, can learn a second and third magic through the Level System.
Some birds are born with hybrid magic, you can read about that in the Hybrid Magic Master Document. However, here you will see all the base magics.

Magic Rarity: Hearthoots

Common
Healing | Love | Astral | Arcane | Bardic | Absent

Rare
Faunal | Shadow | Light | Trickster | Poison | Lunar |

Limited
Death | Plants | Water | Earth | Lightning | Ice | | Fungal

Legendary
Blood | Metal | Balance | Time | Fire | Life | Solar |

Lost
Air | Rune |

Magic Rarity: Vestrels
Some magics do not naturally occur in Vestrel genetics. For the purposes of learning, they have been given 'rarities' but are underlined. Magics that are underlined cannot be made as first-gen, adoptable Vestrels. Vestrels can only be 'born' with these magics by using Runes, MYO Items, or by being born to parents who have the magic in their genes, such as Hearthoots or other Vestrels that have been born with the magic, somehow.

Common
Blood | Death | Metal | Fire | Air | Earth | Water | Trickster | Plush

Rare
Plants | Faunal | Arcane | Ice | Shadow | Mind | Poison

Limited
Rune | Lightning | Astral | Fungal | Light Bardic

Legendary
Balance | Time | Lunar | Healing | Mirror |Primal |

Lost

Life | Absent | Solar | Love



Image

Base guide made by Arrilaga, maintained by Keryth.

+ Balance Magic born of hybrid magic may have heterochromia of the two magics bred to make it, but will still have one dark sclera and one normal.
+ Rune Magic may have any of the bases listed, with colored pupils to match any basic or rare magic color.

Colors serve as a baseline; we do not color drop, feel free to drop and move around a few hues and shades to get a customized look.
