Charmmings Adoption Center is a safe place for all people.Bigotry is not allowed in any form. This includes, but is not limited to homophobia, transphobia, acephobia, panphobia, racism, anti-Semitism, islamophobia, and so forth. Bigoted behavior will merit you two strikes on the first infraction and a ban with a repeat infraction.
All rights to Charmmings reserved.
I understand there are similar species, but I reserve the sole right to ownership of the lore and all content produced for the use of the species.
3 strikes and you're out.
Infractions will receive a warning, or if severe enough, a species ban. 3 strikes result in a species ban.
Mind your manners.
Don't be rude, whiny, et cetera. Poor behaviour may warrant a strike or species ban.
No COPPA users.
Because COPPA users' posts have to be approved by site staff, this may create undesirable results when judging competitions.
Non-owners will be favored for the first 100 adopts.
You may own an unlimited amount of Charmmings, however, once you win one, non-owners with a similarly competitive form will be chosen.
You cannot make your own without a MYO slot.
Most competitions will be focused on canon development of a character within the world. However, sometimes you can purchase a Charmming outright or a MYO slot.
Every 5th adopt will be offer to adopt.
c$, USD, valuable pets and art are all acceptable as payment. "Art slave" or impossible-to-complete offers such as "35 fullbodies, 60 headshots, 40 halfbodies" will be ignored, as they have a high risk of falling through as payment.
You may not sell Charmmings for more than you purchased them for.
Art is allowed to increase the value, however, you may not produce this art yourself in order to spin a profit off the adopt. You must commission the art to add its value to the adopt.
You can edit designs you own as long as the design stays recognizably similar to the original (at least 70% similar to original design) and you have the artist's permission.
All changes to the designs must be approved by the original artist, as well as myself (bats). The lore is optional as well: you can choose to adopt a design and not participate in the species/world, if you so choose. However, there are incentives planned for species participation.
If a pre-existing IP is used as inspiration, the adopt must look 30% or less similar to the original design.
This means you may not recreate characters from television shows, comics, books, et cetera directly as Charmmings and must use only loose inspiration, such as palette or symbology. Media must be Safe for CS in order to be sampled from. Please ask permission before making a MYO from a pre-existing IP.
If you are no longer interested in your Charmming, you may readopt them out to the community or gift them to someone else, so long as the recipient is not banned or blocked from the community.
You must choose a winner for the readoption within 30 days of the deadline. If you are unable to do so, users are encouraged to notify Charmming Staff in order for a winner to be chosen.
Readoptions must be held in public, on the ChickenSmoothie Forums.
If you get banned from the species or are blocked by me, you are allowed to keep your adopts but will no longer be able to participate in species spaces, such as the fanclub or Discord Server, or acquire further species assets.
I reserve the right to make changes to the rules at any time, as needed.
