Welcome to the Character Shelter! I'm Samual, the current owner/manager/staff member of this shelter. I use he/him pronouns and am an adult American. I would recommend checking out the Detailed Guide, as it has both the pricing and the rules in one convenient place!
General Rules
- Character Shelter Characters are automatically worth nothing/free. You cannot charge currency for a Character Shelter character without adding value to them
- Character trades are allowed, seeing as you've essentially traded a character/art to receive a character!
- All Character Shelter characters are run on a FCFS basis. Whoever comments to purchase first receives the character (as long as they have the currency).
- Any designer's rules that come with the character are, and will always be, valid.
- Preclaims are immediate, and holds are up to five days long!
- All transactions should happen on this thread, not in pm/dm, character comments, etc. This is for archival purposes.
Donation Rules
- NSFW character donations are fine (as I am 18+), however please specify when you donate that they have NSFW art!
- I will reduce eggs given by half if the character is considered extremely low quality
- new As of 6/25/2022 Low Quality characters will be accepted; however, they will not cost any eggs/you will not receive any eggs. (ie bulk base designs with little to no effort (few colors, brush just made straight lines across, etc)
Hold and Preclaim Policies
- A Preclaim is where you can claim a character in the 'intake' folder, and as soon as it's priced the eggs will be deducted from your account and you will receive the character. If you do not have the eggs by the time the character is priced (will count after all donations are priced) the character will be put into the normal folder(s). You cannot put a character on hold if they are in the 'to be priced' folder.
- A Hold is when the character is placed aside for you. A hold lasts five days, and you will have that time to get the eggs to adopt that character! Please know that if I am inactive for any reason, that day does not count towards your hold.
How do I get Eggs via character donation?
- You donate character(s) by sending to this toyhouse with the trade message as 'Donation'
- If you do not want to receive Eggs for your donation, just put 'no eggs'
- If you do not want to receive eggs or have them cost eggs, put 'no eggs, free'
- If neither, just ignore these lol
- The character(s) get placed into a hidden folder where I price the characters according to the chart below.
- The eggs get added to your account after all the characters in the folder get priced.
- The characters get placed into the shelter for the same amount you got from the bank.
How do I get Eggs via art donation?
- You donate art/revamps by added the art to a preexisting character profile.
- When the art is accepted, the total eggs (as according to chart below) will be added to your bank and to the price of the character the art is for.
How do I adopt a character once I have the Eggs?
- You find the character(s) you want, and check that you have the balance needed in the bank listed on the main page and adoption form (same link in both places).
- You comment on the Main Thread with the links to the character(s) you want.
- The characters will be sent once the donations and bank have been updated.
How many eggs do I get per character/art piece?
It depends on the character you donate! There is no minimum/set price for each donation, instead it follows pricing-guide
and here’s the bank Bank
