What are akkebats?
✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕

Akkebats (or just akkes) are small to medium sized mammals found all over the Earth. Due to their high intelligence and adaptability, they found a way to inhabit almost every corner of it. At first, they resemble a canine with a bat's pair of wings, but they only share in looks. Even though they start their baby lives as quadripedals (bittens find it hard to walk on their hind legs alone and are often seen stumbling when they try to do so), their hind legs grow strong enough to enable bipedal movement as they mature. They are excellent climbers and pretty fast runners, and while they can't fly, they glide stunningly well. But what keeps them from harm (and might be their most interesting quality) is the beautiful and wide range of their voice.

They can replicate almost every sound they ever heard (and are very good at remembering them too). They can make noises that far transcend the range of the human ear, and they don't use it for echolocation. It is speculated that they have developed a very complex system of communication with it. It is also a valuable asset to them when it comes to shielding from predators; they can screech loudly when found in danger, so to cause eardrum injury in whoever dared to pose them a threat.

Though worry not, for they do not pose a threat to humans. Most of them are of a pretty sheepish nature when it comes to meeting humans. However, some brave and daring individuals do take interest in us and try to communicate and play. If tamed and trained properly, they make excellent pets. It takes a wild akke a while to get used to the rowdy noise of the city due to their sensitive ears.

They are very social creatures and are often found sleeping on piles in their habitats. It is believed that they do this to keep their younglings warm and protected. Baby akkebats are called akkebittens, and it takes them about a year to mature fully. They are omnivores and eat anything from small rodents to fruits, and will even steal eggs from birds' nests with their excellent claiming ability.

How to get started
✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕

How do I adopt an Akke?
Simply look trough the adopts on the main page and see which ones are open! Most of them are raffles, or feature a short form to be filled up in order to try out for an adopt. After a certian date, the artist of the adopt will choose the owner. Rarely, sold adopt will appear on the main page as well. You can also occasionaly find bittens in the nursery that are up for adoption.

Where do I find my ID?
You can find your ID by going to the 'Forums' tab and pressing the 'view my profile' page, then reading the last 6 or 7 digits of the URL. For example;
Forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=704352
This above is the link to my profile, and my ID would be 704352

What are starters?
A starter is your first akkebat. You can either create it yourself on have someone else create it for you right here. They have the same rarity value as a typical MYO card (all typical traits, 1 untypical trait) and can be edited as you progress. You can apply as many rarity edits to your starter as you want at any time that you want. Once you've made your starter, it will become an official part of akkebats when it gets a stamp of approval. You can then use it in prompts, quests, breedings, and any other community activities. Only one starter is allowed per person.

How do I acquire eggs?
Eggs are also obtainable through HMs or bought with c$. You can also obtain a single egg for every referral. Simply have another person mark this post with "username brought me here", and you can add an egg to your log. Eggs can also be acquired with drawing stamps or giftlines for the species.

Rules & Guidelines
✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕

Owning Akkebats
> You can obtain an akkebat through many means. You can make your own starter (marked with an S#001), You can win one from the main page (M#001) or you can make your own custom (C#001). Different rules apply to each:
   > You can edit your starter's traits as much as you want, even after you've used them in events and breeding. You can make slight changes to the design as well, even though it should remain similar in markings and accurate in colors through every change.
   > Custom tickets can be purchased in the egg shop, along with the edit tickets. You can use as many edit tickets with your custom ticket. But once created, a custom can not be changed and traits cannot be added to it (except for some special event items)
   > And lastly, you can not add traits or alter the adopt you win from the main site.
> You are free to add as many no-rarity traits to any of your akkebat
> You can own as many akkes as you want
> You can use an akke as your fursona
> Akkes can not be sold for more than they were bought. They can be traded and gifted
> Every akkebat has a breeding cooldown that lasts a month

Main site Akkebats
> Akkebats are a closed species, so only artists and guest artists can create akkes on the main page
> They will mostly be won through competitions and raffles, even though sometimes they can be sold for c$ as well ($ payments should be discussed off-site)
> be polite when entering competitions

✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕

Artists' Rules
> Each main adopt you make counts as a +2 to your egg balance
> If you don't make an adopt in 2 months, you'll become a ghost artist
> Try to keep the Odd traits rare and the Bizzare traits even rarer. Most of your adopts should have at least one untypical trait
> Do not remove spectralFeathers signature. Feel free to move it around though
> Don't forget to offer HMs (in form of a chosen egg amount) and runner-ups

Traits rarity list
✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕✕

What rarity is my akke?
You determine the rarity of an akke based on the traits it has. Every akke of a certian rarity can have a rarer trait and still be considered the lower rarity akke. For example, an akke with 3 untypical edits (usually written down as [u]) and one odd trait ([o]) would be considered an untypical akke overall. If it was to have 1 untypical, 1 odd and 1 bizarre, it would be considered odd. Exotic traits are excluded from this. No matter how many exotic traits an akke has, it is considered of an exotic rarity.
