ABOUT

Specter Hounds, also known by their species name Scetryx, are apparitions of hounds with bare skulls instead of a face. Some are commanded by gods, others commanded by devils, and some choose to be independent. Throughout humanities existence, they've been known to bring bad and good omens alike. No living mortal knows how they were created, though some speculate that they were cursed humans that never fulfilled the pacts they made with gods in return for power.

Aside from their ghastly looking skull faces, they're also easily distinguished from other apparitions by spikes protruding out of the sides of their necks. Some are even gifted with halos, but only if they put in the work to earn such favors.

Scetryx: Specter Hounds V2 Guide

Postby receptions » Wed Nov 09, 2022 5:23 pm

GUIDE
SCETRYX REQUIREMENTS
All Scetryx are required to have skulls for the top part of their head. This does not include the bottom jaw, which is normal. They are all also required to have spikes sticking out of the side of their neck. There is an even amount of neck spikes on each side. Both the skull and all of the neck spikes are matching in color, unless the Scetryx has the trait that allows them to not be matching.
You can draw using my official oekaki base, or by drawing one yourself on or off oekaki. You can also commission other artists to draw your Scetryx for you. All that is required for a Scetryx to be masterlisted is a drawing of them in their feral form and a trait list. The "reference" folder of the official oekaki base is optional. Humanoid and anthro forms are also optional, but again, the Scetryx cannot be official unless it has an approved feral reference drawing.
Once you have your reference for your Scetryx, it then has to be approved and added to the archive using the forms provided there. If you obtain a Scetryx from a trade or sale, you must also go to the archive and fill out the request forms.

TRAIT SYSTEM
There are two main types of traits, general traits and exclusive traits. General traits can come with the Scetryx on any adoptable or MYO depending on the rarity. Exclusive traits are traits that can only be applied from the shop, participating in events, or questing.
There are also different trait rarities. The rarities are No Rarity, Standard, Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Banished. No Rarity traits cannot pass through fusion and are free to add to your Scetryx. Standard traits define the basic Scetryx traits that come with every single one, unless they are replaced by higher rarity traits. Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Banished can also pass through fusion, but are not standard on any Scetryx. Common is the least rare trait category and Banished is the most rare trait category.

QUESTING
Questing is a free way to earn traits, participate in the community, and earn halo perks for your Scetryx. Quests can consist of weekly prompts where you either write or draw your Scetryx in a certain scenario. These guarantee random trait rewards, as well as reputation points. There are also smaller quests, where you send your Scetryx off on a journey to have a small chance at bringing something back.
The more prompt-based quests you participate in with a Scetryx, the more reputation points you accumulate for that Scetryx. Once you reach a certain amount, your Scetryx gains a halo. As you gain more points, the halo can be upgraded to be made fancier. This is a purely cosmetic addition that doesn't pass through fusion, but it looks cool.

BREEDING | FUSION
Fusion a system where you can take a portion of a soul from 2 Scetryx and "fuse them" into a new one. The traits that pass to the new one depends on their rarity. Due to destructive nature of the process, each Scetryx can only be used for fusion 5 times before it can no longer give up any more of its soul.

Scetryx: Specter Hounds V2 Rules

Postby receptions » Wed Nov 09, 2022 5:24 pm

RULES
ART & DESIGN USE
The specific rules for each Scetryx depends on the artist. However, if you're not sure and cannot ask, here are some basic guidelines to follow:
1. Always credit the artist and base maker (if a base is used).
2. Do not use the art for commercial purposes (selling merchandise).
3. Do not sell the design for more than you paid for it (this includes virtual currency). Value is added only when you add commissioned art.
4. Scetryx can be traded for other Scetryx, other designs, and ChickenSmoothie pets and items. It retains any monetary value that it had when you trade it.

COMMUNITY RULES
1. Follow all ChickenSmoothie rules.
2. No pressuring others into giving you Scetryx or Scetryx related items for any reason.
3. When trading, selling, or obtaining a Scetryx, you must post in the archive thread using the correct form to let me update the masterlist.
4. Be nice and have fun!

EXITING THE SPECIES
You can exit the species any time. You can trade or sell your Scetryx away for something else, or you can give it away to the community. If you want to keep it but no longer have it be part of the species, you can do that too. All you have to do is fill out the proper form on the archive thread.
