Skolvarg - A Magical Wolf Species

Postby kiwipen » Mon May 01, 2023 2:23 pm


Welcome to Skolvarg!
Skolvarg, often shorten to Varg or Vargs, are a magical breed of fantasy wolves. Descended from the mighty Fenrir, Skolvarg are chock-full of magic and potential. They're quite powerful and vicious predators. While some may choose to live in packs out in the wild, others may choose the companionship of humans. All Varg are born with the potential to use magic, and through the power of runes, may learn more than just the magics they were born with.

Skolvarg come in a wide array of sizes, starting from 105cm in height up to 200cm. Their eye colors, however, are unique to their magic types, and you can view that information here

Rules


Skolvarg fall under my species umbrella, and therefore have a TOS you can read here:
Universal Species TOS

Here are a few additional stipulations to keep in mind....

Conduct
You may create your own individual 'tracker' for a Skolvarg by coloring it in and making your own copy in the Oekaki after being added. If you're unable to use the Oekaki, maintaining the tracker on the main artist form is fine.
Please do not edit your Skolvarg unless you've had the appropriate items earned and approved by moderators. Editing them to add whiskers, claws, accessories, or companions is okay.
You will be added to your Skolvarg's reference, please do not edit any new versions of the Skolvarg unless you're allowed to.


Trackers
All Trackers for each individual Skolvarg should be posted and maintained either on the official post by the artist, or on your colorin version. Either way, it must remain on ChickenSmoothie. [Off-Oekaki Skolvarg are allowed to have an Off-Oekaki tracker]
Recommended; Publicly adopted Skolvargs should be maintained on a colorin version of them; customs, breedings, pups, etc. should be maintained on the original post by the artist.
-- Skolvarg trackers should track the prompts they've completed.
Additionally, creating a Pack Tracker is required. You can do so in the Character Storage forum, or on Toyhou.se, or another place that works for you; just no Google Docs/Sheets. You may create multiple pack trackers if you want to maintain multiple packs, that is entirely up to you.

Packs
A 'pack' is simply what we use to refer to the group of vargs an individual owns. These vargs may or may not be all under one 'pack' umbrella; they may fall under several of their own in-character packs and live entirely different lives.
You may own unlimited Skolvarg.
You do not need to have a founder to start playing.
This is not a traditional ARPG, and you don't need a founder to try out for adopts.

Breeding
Skolvarg of any gender combination can have children.
Each Skolvarg has unlimited breeding slots.

Design Notes
Dogs can have any pattern of coat they'd like. That being said, you are free to stylize markings and simplify them, you do not need to airbrush gradients or use soft brushes. You can draw inspiration from any existing dog patterns, any existing wild canine patterns, and the occasional odd pattern like freckles, speckles, and dun-like markings. You may take inspiration from realistic adoptables, or draw more solid lines and colors.

Staff, Artist Guidebook, Pay ETC

We have so many staff and artists that we are no longer listing them here for now! The list will be updated in due time.

Guidebook
Notice; Do not give free adoptables or customs to accounts that are younger than 3 months old, unless they have been personally vouched for already by a respected member of the community. Paid adoptables and WTA/DTA's are fine.
If you need to take an extended break, and will be uncontactable, please let us know ahead of time. Failure to respond to inquiries regarding owed work in a week, will result in your removal as a staff member. - 7/12/2022
You must add kii to every canvas of every Skolvarg you make, including Indie Batches, Mystery Adopts, mass adopts, and one-offs. - If you disappear, I will still be able to step in and dish out the remaining owed adopts, and you give me consent to do so by applying to be an artist and making big batches of Vargs. [ 7/12/2022 ]
As an artist, you're expected to make one free adoptable every month you're active.
How much you earn past that is up to you. Free adoptables [including free customs] earn you 2 Artist Points each; paid adoptables [including paid customs ] earn you 1 Artist Point each.
Free nursery adopts earn you 4 Artist Points per adopt; Paid nursery adopts earn you 2 artist points per adopt.
You can earn Banking Points as well by updating your adoptables in the archive; Banking Points are used interchangeably with Artist Points.
You can spend your Artist Points at the Species shop. You're required to keep track of your Artist Points with a tracker.
If you do not judge your competition within a month, you give Skolvarg staff permission to judge it for you. 6/6/2022/ This includes doing whatever we have to do, whether it's making new canvases for other people to get their dogs, or uploading your dog designs to our Indie Archive, to make sure the people get their dogs. [ 7/12/2022 ]
Here is the thread you can use to track that;
Customs are posted on the main thread, your artist MYO are made in the MYO thread.
new; 12/17/2021 you earn an additional standard myo (on top of any artist points) for the first free adopt you make a month.



MYO Approvals
Artists can and should help with MYO approvals. You earn Staff Points for this action, so rest assured your work is paid :)
The official protocol for approving MYO are....

  • Ensuring that the traits listed match the MYO on the canvas.
  • Ensuring that the traits and magic listed match the allowance of the MYO being used.
    -- If neither of these things line up, stop here, and tell them what to fix. Do not proceed until it's in an approvable state.
  • If the Varg is approvable, open up the archive and assign the design an ID# in the MYO tab. Fill out applicable information (such as applicable magic, trait rarity, and artist / owner ) Link the post or image code of the design in the ID# spot.
  • Comment or reply to the person seeking the approval, and tell them their ID #. Tell them their design is approved.

You earn 2 Staff Points for this action; 1 for Approving it, and 1 for filling out the information on the archive. You earn 1 Staff Point for sending an adopt back for approvals if it needs it.
This protocol works for on and off-Oekaki MYOs.

Off-Oekaki DIY Nursery approvals work similarly; approve the pups like you would a normal DIY Nursery breeding, and still assign them ID #'s in the MYO archive. Send back any pups that need approval, and only approve the whole batch when ALL pups are in approvable states. Fill out all information that you can in the archive for the pups; if fates are not listed, inform the person that they will need to update the ownership information on the Bank Update page or reply to the comment with their fates and link it in the Discord.

You earn a staff point for each pup approved, and a staff point for each pup archived.

Indie Adopts
Indie adopts are adoptables not made on the main Skolvarg lines or canvas. As an artist, this is considered a privilege, and there are some special steps you need to take to make it function smoothly.

  • Make your Vargs!
  • Reserve their ID #'s in the archive [ to do so, make the ID#'s and then slap your artist name in the artist field]
  • Fill out any applicable information you know before posting (such as known traits, magic, etc. if Off-Oekaki Custom, you can include the owner here.)
  • Post your adopt, and link the post on the ID#'s in the archive.
  • Update information if you can, otherwise ask an archivist for help.

That's it! Reserving the ID # is very important so we can all number them appropriately. Thank you.





All artists, moderators, and admins are required to be respectful and kind while interacting with the community.
If a member of staff goes quiet and does not do a job-related task for three months, they are removed from their post.
Artists are required to post the following forms with all their created Vargs.
Bankers and archivists earn 1 Staff Point per task they complete and that money can be spent at the shop too.
You are now required to log your work in our work-log channel on Discord.

Magic

All Skolvarg are born with the potential to practice magic. Not every Skolvarg becomes a practicer of this magic, though.
You can tell what magic a Varg was born with by looking in their eyes; every magic type has a color that's reflected in their eyes.
Despite being born with this potential, without practice and a desire to use this magic, a Varg will not ever express or use this magic!

Magic is genetic, and Vargs will only ever pass on the magic type they were born with. Even if a Varg learns other magic types, their offspring will only ever inherit one of the two magic types their parents have.

Skolvarg can learn a second and third magic through the Level System.
Some Skolvarg are born with hybrid magic, you can read about that in the Hybrid Magic Master Document. However, here you will see all the base magics.

Magic Rarity:

Common:
Fire / Earth / Water / Air / Plants / Lightning / Poison

Rare
Artists can make one gen 1 Rare Magic-ed Varg every four common adopts.
Faunal / Ice / Healing / Fungal / Shadow / Blood / Bardic / Trickster


Limited
Artists can make one gen 1 Limited Magic'ed Varg every two rare adopts.
Death / Arcane / Astral / Love / Light / Metal / Plush

Legendary
Artists cannot make gen 1 Legendary Varg
Lunar / Solar / Rune / Balance / Time / Life / Mind

Lost
Absent / Mirror / Primal


Image

+ Balance Magic born of hybrid magic may have heterochromia of the two magics bred to make it, but will still have one dark sclera and one normal.
+ Rune Magic may have any of the bases listed, with colored pupils to match any basic or rare magic color.

Colors serve as a baseline; we do not color drop, feel free to drop and move around a few hues and shades to get a customized look.

Guide by Arrillaga

Alternate Magic Colors
A Limited* trait introduced alternate colors to some magics.
Graphic and explanation here.
