Attention!
Big news, we are going to move to new lines made by Dragonovich, now with the new username of Steamax.
We will be restarting this up soon so I hope to see you excited! We are still figuring out transfers of lines,
but most probably we will add a small payment to transfer over. We will try to expand this community more, as I see a hope of potential in it! Until then, just cross your fingers!

What is a Solkon?
Solkons are fox-like furry creatures that take pride in their fluffy manes on their necks and long tails. They usually dwell in cold habitats, such as the tundra or snow forest. Their diet consists of berries, plants, fruits and other small mammals and rodents. Solkons also have sharp teeth and claws that are usually keep unsheathed and are used to grab a hold of prey. They are believed to be evolved from lions and foxes, slowly developing traits from both species. Solkons all have whiskers – a trait that can never be bred out of DNA. Tufted hair is extended from their ears, similar to that of a lynx.

How do you adopt a Solkon?
If you are interested in adopting a Solkon, there are many up for adoption at a given time. To find out which are up for adoption, you may browse through them above. To adopt a Solkon, you must fill out the form and comply with all rules listed by the artist in the first post below the individual Solkon. In rare occurrences, with only my permission, their can be auctions which you may bid for.

How many Solkons can I apply for?
A: There is no limit on the number of Solkon you apply for at a given time, though we suggest you limit yourself to a few so that you can focus on them. However, if you win a Solkon and reach your 5 Sol max, you must drop out of all other adoptions, and and are not permitted to own any other Solkons, unless you put one of yours up for re-adoption.

Are mods allowed customs?
You may own one custom. Though you must ask either me or an artist to complete the custom for you.

May I add items to my Solkon?
Only minor items, such as earrings or bracelets whatsoever. Do not make hair edits on them or tweek their lines in any way. Special items are sold at the store so please refrain from adding large items.

May I do hair edits/line edit/change design the Solkon?
No, the designer worked hard on the design and line edits are rare and only to be done with the approval of me and the artist. Please don't ask for an edit. Designs should not be changed as well nor will Solkons be mutated or have a missing limb.

I've submitted a staff application form so why don't you accept me?
Sorry but I don't accepted everyone. I want what is best for my species and I want experienced people. Other times, I'm just waiting for an amount of people to fill out the application before I pick the staff.
