do u have any concept art yet? 👁
Introducing Kon Corporations! Making Wishes come Alive(tm) Just an interest check for a CS idea(also going to try pinging catboybfs. please get over here mr co owner.)-
Concept + Lore
Basically, "Kon" are a manufactured demon species. They're part robot with varying magic strength. The goal? To grant wishes! Sort of like demon butlers.
These Kon require a special magic to come alive. They are blessed with a marking for power, and flowers are implanted on their bodies. These flowers tie their soul to the "shell".(please excuse my lack of a better word) Lore-wise, they are created to grant wishes/desires for a single master or business- This obviously isn't required though! Feel free to write whatever backstory and personal lore that you want.(e.g. master wanted to "upgrade" and threw out the old Kon or something)
Slots are called blueprints and after submission, once approved, you can "summon" them. (uses a myo slot)
Trait Info(wip)
Their power comes from their markings + flowers. Those marking colors/flowers define their rarity! Their markings can be anywhere, even on mechanical parts. Flowers("main" ones), however, must be on or connected to living portions of the body.(however, not on the throat or over the heart!) Exceptions are "illegal" and "ceremonial" Kon!
*(more on this in the trait/rarity guide which would come later. Special rarities are explained below!)
Small flowers will not be counted as "main flowers" unless they are in a medium/large patch! An example of this is if you wanted to put in a hydrangea(main flower) vs if you wanted to put little blossoms on your Kon's horns(not main flowers).
Excluding their markings and flowers, they are relatively open-traited! This is because they are half artificial (and demons). At least 50% of their silhouette should be human-shaped, but we won't be too picky! Non-human features can be made out of anything "fake".(silicone, polyester, etc! Nothing alive) However, due to the nature of Kon, their artificial parts should not resemble "darker" themes!(Like, no weapon horns or dark sclera. Explained below, and excluding "illegal" Kon) Other than that, MYO slot owners can go nuts- if magic exists, why shouldn't "humans" with goat legs and cat ears? Scales are ok, too!
*Pupils can be any shape, and heterochromia is fine. But relating to the ~50% mechanical cap, the body can only be covered about 50% with scales or similar!
MYO Rarities
Public MYO slots can be of these rarities! Please excuse the word "hyper", I couldn't think of any substitutes;;
- common/"dormant" + tattered blueprint MYO slot ticket item + 1 main flower (weakest magic/domestic chore level abilities, small horns, etc)
- uncommon/"active" + ripped blueprint MYO slot ticket item + 1-3 main flowers (medium magic/actually helpful type abilities, medium horns, etc)
- rare/"hyper" + blank blueprint MYO slot ticket item + 1-5 main flowers (stronger magic/cool they can go save lives, larger horns, etc)
GA/Official adopts/otas would have two unique rarity options
- "illegal"/"unbound" + charred blueprint MYO slot ticket item (strong magic/can perform dangerous and illegal stuff, special marking color or "unbound"/missing mark, extra special trait allowances) + basically the "corrupted" rarity of the species. Would be modified and "black market"(but not really), "defective" but were taken from the scrap pile and sold instead? Something like that. Anyways, they can have dark sclera and weapon extensions(like elbow spikes and a jagged metal tail). They have up to 5 main flowers, these can be missing or withered.
- "ceremonial"/"liberated" + iridescent blueprint MYO slot ticket item (strong magic/can perform miracle grade stuff, other special marking color, extra special trait allowances) + basically the "exalted" version of the species. Would be like specially modified prototype grade beings- They can have living non-human traits! (e.g. feathered wings that don't need some sort of rocket boosters to actually fly) These Kon may have as many main/connected flowers as desired, within reason. Their flowers may also be over vital areas!
^to clarify, exclusive rarities might be available to the public in very specific events!(which is why they have tentative blueprint names) Like maybe holiday contest, winners 1-5 have a prize pool with 1 of each available
Feel free to suggest clarification methods, ask questions, or request to be on the pinglist! Kind of just edited the stuff I ran through with Blue the other day, so the explanations might be confusing :')
Also I have no idea what forum etiquette is on this site! Just let me know if I'm doing something wrong ^^

Hi there! I'm not really sure what would be included in "regular" concept art, but I drew a thing- hopefully it's enough? I've added it to the OP (not going to add to this post since it's kind of big)- Here's a link to a character profile that I'm going to compile info into if you'd like to take a closer look and stuff! :'D
(Everyone who's asked has been added to the pinglist!)
- After we get the world set up and the traits settled out a bit better, I’ll definitely start opening those up! (You for sure could just. Y’know. Ask though. Blue and I trust you and we’d both love to have you on the team!)
- UHH not exactly(?) sure what that would mean in context of a species but sure! Maybe! Would you perhaps be willing to explain what that means via dms :grabright:
- I have an idea for one so far but that’s the extent of my creativity at the moment :’D
- Yeah, of course! Still working out that part but I was thinking those general events for earning currency(possibly something mechanical-related so the “blueprint” myo tickets make more sense) + those rarity/myo/trait mutation type items! Definitely open to suggestions through a Google form later. (though we don’t really have much of a way to implement extra traits right now)
