Yes! Please be sure to credit them somewhere when getting the Vesper approved and registered to the master list.


5.B - Is there any specific design rules I need to follow?


The only design rules is that depending on your Vespers rarity, they must follow the traits given on the official trait sheets, and your Vesper must be drawn anatomically correct. Otherwise, most colors and details are all up to you! If you are unsure of a certain aspect of your design, please be sure to ask one of the mods!

Yes! Of course you can! The vesper's rarity is determined by the highest rarity trait they have


13.B- Can i buy blank Right holder a MYO?


Apologies but no! Rights holders can not obtain MYOs whether buying for themselves or having someone else buy the slot for them. Its a loophole to the slots we have set up


Section C - General Info and Clan Questions

 
1.C - Can Vesper be adopted by other Species?
 
Yes, you can have an egg or a young kit be found by dragons, ponies or any other species!! They often have a language barrier and resistance if they are an older vesper being adopted
 
2.C - Do Vespers have Natural predators?
 
They do! Vespers are often hunted by ponies and other species for their pelts and more-so for the gems on their forehead that give them weak to medium strength magic! These gems are often used to make magic enhancers, potions, etc.
On the other hand, dragons and manticores are the main ones who hunt vespers for their meat, liking the more sweet meat they have. Other vespers are also a big threat to vespers
 
3.C - Can my vesper be an Ara?
 
Yes!! We don't limit ara's anymore but please make sure to do the research on one before you make one!! You can find all info in the journals that are general info or lore based
 
4.C - Can my male vesper be an Ara?
 
Yes! But please keep in mind, 95% of aras are FEMALE!!! Ratio would sit at 30:1
They are hatched in 2-4 in the different clans every 50-100 or so years
 
5.C - Are all infertile Vespers Aras?
 
No! Not all Infertile vespers are aras but all aras are infertile. Aras are hatched with no scent, kinda like a breathe of fresh air. Normal Infertile vespers have the same scent as a normal vesper but a bit sour (i.e Any fruit/veggies or flowers)
 
6.C - Would my Vesper be able to be an ara but not go through the training/be taken by another clan?
 
The training is very crucial to become an ara, without it they cant do anything with their magical properties and would probably be driven from their clan! Normally, oblivion will come around the clans every hundred years to collect an extra ara from a clan! Often times though the clans are perfectly fine with the amount of the ara's they have
 
7.C - Can a Vesper Hatch in Winter?
 
No, The Hatching time for vespers ranges from August 25th to November 5th as the latest! Otherwise the egg is considered dead and left to the forest
 
8.C - What makes a Vesper a Twin?
 
Twins and Triplets (Triplets are not allowed to be made) are vespers that come from the same egg! Think snakes or other reptiles, while yes there's a chance of vespers hatching in the same time frame, they are more widely known as twins if they come from the same egg
 
9.C - What is a Vespers Pull?
 
To sum up what the General info journal says: A vespers pull is what brings them to their destined life long partner, their mate. They can have no, weak, normal or strong pulls!
 
10.C - What happens to a vesper if they reject/suppress or ignore their pull?
 
Its dependent on the strength of the said pull! A weak pull would kinda fizzle out and become something that wouldn't even bother the vesper. A Normal pull would be like a fly whizzing by you every so often or a tug in one direction. A strong pull would be like a fly constantly buzzing in your ear, annoying and often times maddening. Rejecting a pull can be fine on the rejecters end, but for the one being rejected it can cause a lot of heartbreak which causes some diseases to sprout out of control or cause corruption
 
11.C - Can vespers have a partner/partners before their pull develops?
 
Its not likely, the pull becomes known at the ages of 10+ so you are thinking really young kid relationships! A lot of them don't know what's going on. Its cute to parent and adult vespers, same way it is to our parents when we are like five and have a "partner"
 
12.C - Can Vespers be Poly/Have more than one pull/Can two vespers have a pull to the same vesper/creature?
 
TLDR: In Cannon, yes for Poly, for the second No. In Aus, yes for the second
In cannon lore and information, they can with an 'ailment'. Vespers are a monogamous species like many other species out there, its true to the species. Vespers have ONE mate for life, it goes for two and three headed vespers too, they share the same pull.
 
13.C - Can Vespers Cheat?
 
Nope! They are very dedicated to their life long partners, their mates. Think of Albatrosses! Shitty mate or not they do not cheat
 
14.C - Can two vespers who have no pull have a romantic relationship?
 
Yes. Though seen as Taboo by most vespers

15.C - Can Vespers have Bromances?
 
Yes! They can, as long as its not romantic, they can have super close friends, or platonic soul mates
 
16.C - Can Vespers use echolocation?
 
Yes! Blind vespers primarily use it. Not vesps that can see purely because they have night vision, so they don't rely on it, many never learn how to use it or forget how to.
 
17.C - Do Mythics remember their past lives?
 
Yes!
Some remember nothing and some remember everything from the lives they lived before they got another chance at life! Its up to whoever owns the mythic
 
18.C - Can Post-Corrupts have a mate?
 
Yes! Its very, very rare though!
Post-corrupts are half the vesper they use to be, there's about a 25-50% chance that the pull they had before going corrupted can be restored as a very weak pull
 
19.C - Can a vesper have a mate that's not a vesper?
 
Yes! Of course!
*How else do you think the mutations and some other traits got there*

Section E - Trait FAQ


1.E - Can I use the half/half traits on the Trait sheets?


Apologies but no! The half/half traits are MOD only! So only the mods are allowed to use them, they are half/half to show the rarity of the trait, but mods are the only people who can use them
Since mods are not paid, this is the perk they have


2.E - Can I make an Enraged Vesper?


For approvals, have a calm form ready!
But!! you are fully welcome to make enraged forms for your vespers, since they are a natural part of the species. However, please keep in mind that forever passives and Goliaths can NOT go enraged


3.E - Can i give my vesper [Specific ailment or odd thing] ?


If you have a specific idea, its usually good to check with the mods before approval! As long as you don't go into the mythic or corrupt territories you should be fine
But here's my normal answer: Cursed items
Want a forever enraged?- Cursed item.
Want a vesper with a shadow demon?- Elemental or Cursed Item.
Cursed items,, as long as listed on the image can work for a lot but can not mimic traits, like mist eyes or decay tendrils


4.E - Can I make a Post corrupt?


Sadly No!
That's apart of the corruption rights, it basically skips the entire corruption process and is a big loophole for the corrupt rights since you still get a heavily scarred, decayed vesper. You can however, make a vesper BEFORE corruption.


5.E - What is Mandatory for Corrupt Vespers?


Only mandatory thing is the eyes, Fully black and dripping with the corrupted liquid, this liquid coming from the mouth is also mandatory! That liquid is NOT blood! it is a mix of a venom/poison and decay from the vesper
Other traits that can be added are not fully formed back spikes (long and sharp, more than one row- Think more porcupine than dinosaur) if male and broken scale plates on the front of the hind legs/on forearm and bridge of the nose! Corrupts are an inbetween state of Calm and Enraged!!! They can also have horns


6.E - Do Post-Corrupts keep their enraged traits?


To answer simply, no they do not. Over the course of time they are knocked out from the healers potion, their decay is stopped and they will slowly go back into their calm form as their wounds heal over, they will lose all abillity to go enraged and are usually half the vesper they were before corruption


7.E - How does the Chameleon Defensive Shift work?


Any vesper with this mutation will go "transparent"/Bland in with their surroundings as a DEFENSIVE mechanism! However as the vesper gets older they can learn to control it, this developed because of the hunters in the forest, a way to hide


8.E - If I redesign an older gen kid with retired traits, can i keep the retired traits?


Yes!
You can redesign around the retired traits that exist on vespers, these traits including the Unicorn horn, Feathers, etc. The ONLY traits you will have to remove would be any mythic traits, such as scales on the from of the leg, on the wings, back, white and black blood


9.E - If i redesign a kid with mod traits, can I keep the mod traits


Yes!
Like the retired traits, you can keep the mod traits as they are and work around them to redesign the kid you want to redesign!


10.E - Can I change the length of my Long Vesper?


If you have a vesper with lonk listed in their ML, you are free to change the length of their body as you please! Have fun with your noodles


11.E - What Elementals are Allowed?


Our list of approved elementals are, please keep in mind these are all EXTERNAL!! They can not be internal, this means crying, coming from under skin, from mouth, etc.
This includes the subcategories (Such as Ice, Rock, Shadow, etc) as well:


-Fire
-Air
-Water
-Earth
-Stone (Earth subtype)
-Jelly (Water + Earth)
-Slime (Water + Earth)
-Glass (Earth + Fire)
-Lightning (Fire + Air)
-Clouds (Air + Water)
-Light
-Darkness
-Mist (Air + Water + Fire)


So on and So forth!


For Specific ideas, Questions or Concerns with a concept or Idea, please contact Alteric#5661 about it!


12.E- How do Elementals Effect the vesper in day to day life?


Vespers with the elemental mutation have to adjust to how their surroundings react to said Elemental but please keep in mind, elementals are more or less Magic!


13.E - Are elemental bits actually hot (as for example, fire) and if a vesper has that elemental type, does that make them immune to that type?


Its very dependent, when calm and vibing, no! When they are genuinely angry or subconsciously have a strong negative emotion (fear, anger, jealousy), they can set off fires, blind vespers, etc. Forces of nature. But for a good majority of the time they are just magic and used for intimidation! The vespers are not immune to outside elements, but they are immune to the element they have on their body so they don't self-destruct
In some cases, Fish can live in the water, electricity can shock, etc


14.E - What percent of the body can they replace? I know arms and legs and such, but like head, ears and body. basically how much is too much?


In recent updates- you can have almost any amount of elemental! Including a fullbody elemental as long as the mandatory traits are visible


15.E - Can entire body parts be elemental? Like can a leg be and of only dirt/rock?


Yes! It has been done before


16.E - To what extent does the element have to its host? [Holding shape/etc]


As long as the vesper has the energy to do so, the elemental can take almost any shape! But it can not detached from where it is on the body. It takes a lot out of the vesper to keep those elemental parts maintained


17.E - Can I use "" would that be listed as "Elemental listed in approved elementals"?


If its a form of the elemental that has already been listed as approved, then yes it is fine to use! [i.e Clouds/Mist would have water as a base element]
