Traits

Each species has a list of required trait categories, meaning there must be one trait from each category listed when submitting the character! There are also sometimes subcategories within trait categories, denoted by a bracketed tag before the trait name (ex. [P] Custom Pupil).

Certain trait categories are also shared between species. In these cases, the traits that are specific to one are denoted by the species specification as well as the species tag (ex. Wavy Iris (CN)). Traits unspecified to one species are available to all species that share that category.

Each MYO ticket is assigned a rarity, and this determines what traits are allowed for that MYO (the rarity and below). Additional traits of rarer tiers can be added using trait spells, or potions/charms if adding restricted traits. The traits are ascending in rarity as follows: Common, Unusual, Rare, Legendary.

Clothing and Accessory Rules

1. All accessories must be attached to the character in a logical way. No floating accessories!
2. If an accessory physically covers a trait, there must be a cutaway reference showing the character without that accessory.
3. Accessories cannot mimic a trait to the point where it could be mistaken for that trait. For example:
   • ALLOWED: a headband with horns that is very clearly a cloth headband
   • NOT ALLOWED: a highly concealed headband with realistic horns
4. If an accessory could be mistaken to be part of the character’s body, there must be a cutaway reference showing the character without that accessory. An exception to this is small items stuck into a character's fur, as long as they don't look like they're growing out of the fur.

Miscellaneous Rules

1. Anatomical changes are not allowed without the appropriate traits (which also may not exist).
2. The reference must be the main image.
3. The reference must clearly show the eyes and eye traits. If the artist’s art style doesn’t allow for this, this can be done through a cutaway ref of the eyes.
4. The reference can be minimally rendered, but rendering should not hinder color-picking or create shadows that look like markings.
5. Critters (pets) should not be included on the ref, even if they are attached to the character.

To submit your own design, you will need a MYO ticket. These can be obtained from the general shop, crafting, MYO events, and more. Instructions on how to turn the item MYO ticket into a MYO slot can be found in each MYO ticket's item description.

Once you have turned your MYO ticket into a slot, you can access it from my MYO slots. To submit your own design, follow the steps below.

1. Create your submission: Click the MYO slot you would like to use. On the left sidebar, select 'Submit MYO Design' (bottom-most option), and then click 'Create Request'. You now have a MYO slot approval draft. Note that you can save your progress at each step, so you do not need to complete it all at once.
2. Comments: You MUST make note of any additional items used here! For example, if you use a reindeer potion to apply reindeer antlers, write "Reindeer potion: +reindeer antlers" in the comments section.
3. Masterlist Image: Upload your masterlist image here. It should be no larger than 1500x1500 px. If you would like to upload an icon, turn off 'use image cropper' and upload it there. If the designer and/or artist have onsite accounts, select their usernames from the left dropdown menues. If not, use the right boxes to link to their offsite socials.
4. Add-Ons: This is where you can apply extra items to add traits of a higher rarity / restricted traits. Any items used here must be noted in the Comments.
5. Traits: Add all traits here. Use the required trait categories above as a checklist to make sure all traits have been added. Some traits have multiple versions with the same name for different species, marked by the species' 2-letter abbreviation. Make sure you are selecting the right one! The character rarity is locked to the rarity of the MYO, but if you use higher-rarity traits, a mod wil manually edit that for you.

Once everything is ready, go back to the Status page and click Submit Request! A moderator will process it as soon as possible.
