▪ while i would never dare claim ownership over all reptilian or dragon inspired closed species-- the lines, lore and concept of this particular species may only be used within this community

▪ further information on what is necessary to include in your place of storage can be found in the getting started guide
✧ you may not co-own or seek co-ownership for any of your placeholdername, as it would make keeping track of individual progress too difficult
xxx ✦ FOUNDERS

✧ be sure to read over the information in the getting started guide
✧ founder slots open and close periodically. they are not an indefinite opportunity
✧ founders are meant to serve as an introduction into the arpg, and more or less represent your first adopt

▪ you may take a regular adopt as your founder ONLY IF you do not currently have a custom founder in progress

▪ if you do not have a founder form in progress and you win an adopt, that adopt automatically becomes your founder

▪ if you take a regular adopt as your founder, you CANNOT apply for a founder through the founder form
✧ only post your founder form once unless explicitly told to repost
✧ you have one month (30 days) from when your founder is posted to claim it. if you fail to, the founder will be put up for public adoption
✧ you only get one form founder. if you fail to claim, trade your founder away, or have them marked as deceased, you do not get another
✧ form founders are considered semi-customs. although you can request small details such as palette, pattern, or eye color, artists who take founder claims have a great level of freedom with the designs they produce and how they interoperate your form
✧ accounting for the above, do not complain about the founder you receive. custom founders are essentially a free design, and a free service provided by the artists of this arpg

xxx ✦ TRADING

!!! ALL OWNERSHIP CHANGES MUST BE RECORDED BOTH ON THE INDIVIDUAL PLACEHOLDERNAME'S REFERENCES AND IN THE TRANSFER THREAD TO BE VALID AND OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED !!!
✧ custom/myo/form founders cannot be gifted or sold, but may be traded for another placeholdername
✧ you must own a regular adopt/custom/whelp for 30 days before you can trade them, but you may gift them immediately
✧ at this time, placeholdername's CANNOT NOT BE RESOLD. this is subject to change in the future

✦ Warnings + Bans ✦
violation of the tos while participating in this arpg can and will result in strikes. if you manage to accumulate three strikes, or severely violate the terms, you will be given a full ban from the arpg. in the chance that you feel like you were wrongly given a warning / issued a ban please contact Canis privately for an appeal. a summary of the strike system is as follows:

▪ your first strike is a warning
a strike gets added to your record, but that is the only consequence
▪ your second strike puts you on probation
you will not be able to participate in the arpg, be it events, activities or adopts for two weeks following this strike
▪ your third strike results in a ban
if you somehow manage to get three strikes, you will be permanently banned from starpath

should you be permanently banned from starpath, your placeholdername will not be confiscated or rehomed unless by your choice. if you choose to keep any adopts or created myos/customs you earned during your time in the arpg, they will be marked as deceased within the database and removed from the game. they will no longer be able to participate in any activities, events, breedings, contests etc, nor will they be able to earn exp, level up, or progress.

we request that you transfer the designs onto a different reference or even into a different species, if you so desire, as to not continue using the official reference image. if transferred, you should still credit the original artist for the design regardless on how you decide to transfer it.

if you have any questions about this, please pm Canis.
