Species guidelines

So, you want to create a species for yena? Then here is the place to be!

These guidelines are going to be divided into two categories: Things all species must follow and things that need to be followed if you want the species to be 'canon-compliant'.

You can provide more than the required info, it's just the absolute minimum.


All species requirements

- Some form of visual reference(At least a fullbody)

- At least a paragraph-long overview about the species

- While we won't disallow NSFW topics/imagery, any species including them must be marked as 18+. (If this is not abided by, you will be given a warning)(Feral and/or animal species are not allowed to have NSFW imagery)

- No species should be significantly more powerful than any other. A good rule of thumb is that if the gods would fear them, it's a good idea to nerf them.


Canon compliance requirements

- Any magic must be inherently linked to the environment. Magic in Dethendrede is not granted by gods or other higher beings.

- There should be some logical sense for how the species physically works. While you don't have to make the species completely realistic, it does have to make some logical sense. Ex. A species with hooves shouldn't be able to pick things up with their hooves.

- The species must fit with their environment. Ex. Nonaquatic species shouldn't live in the middle of the ocean.
