MYO GUIDE
✩Getting Started✩
So you want to make a Viritail? Great! I'm so happy to have you here!
Viritails are a semi-open species, meaning you don't need to purchase anything to start making your designs. But remember to always get your designs approved!
Below is a checklist to help streamline the design process!
✩Choose Subspecies✩
The first question for the design journey: What kind of Viritail do you want to make? Read over the lore of each subspecies carefully, as your future character must align with it!
Viritails don’t have a trait list that’s sectioned into rarities. This is because they don’t have nearly as many traits to choose from. Viris have a percentage system that ranks how common or rare a condition or characteristic is, but this holds no bearing over your ability to use said characteristics.
Moontails however have a controlled trait list that is sectioned into rarities. You may only choose a specific number of traits from each category.
✩Start with the Body✩
You don’t have to add all the unique traits right away. Start simple and draw out what you want your character’s body to look like. All Viritails must have a thick tail base that thins out and gets wider again at its tip. Remember, they use this tail like a club, so it's a thick and powerful weapon. Check the Species Biology section to see a diagram of a Virilian skeleton if you are having trouble!
For Viritails: Remember to list your characters height on their ref sheet, as height is an important characteristic in this world! If you don’t, they will be assumed to be the default height.
For Moontails: Look through the trait list and see what body type you want to choose. The traits to pay attention to for now are the Snout, Arms, Legs, Torso, and Tail. Remember you can only choose a certain number of traits from each category!
✩Start Adding Traits✩
This is where the fun begins!
For Viritails: This is just a matter of adding horns and hair. Pay attention to the Traits of Interest section of your chosen Viritail subspecies, for you MUST add them to your character(if you have decided to make a hybrid of two subspecies, mix and mash the traits of interest together).
For Moontails: Look through the rest of the traits lists and pick out whatever suits your fancy! Go wild with it!
✩Add Colour and Details✩
Colour in your beautiful creation, and add some extra bits like hair, clothes, jewelry, etc. All Viritails have unique flesh colours. This means you can be creative with the inside of their mouth and blood colour too!
For Viritails: Remember that they have cheek markings and/or stripes on their tails!
For Moontails: There are no specific colourations that Moontails have; it's entirely up to you! Wild Moontails often wear rudimentary clothing. Jewelry is common, and I recommend adding scars because of their harsh environment. If your moontail is a soldier, then their clothes would look much more modern!
✩Adding Hidden Traits (Moontails Only)✩
Moontails have abilities linked to their antenna, but these aren’t visible, so you’ll need to write them down! Same goes for if your Moontail is venomous.
✩Send your design in for Approval!✩
Send in your Viritail design for approval in our discord! You’ll need to list your chosen traits, so write them all down! Remember to add an image of your design.
