Please ensure that you are 17+ in age, as well as given our trigger warnings a read as listed as below.

  • Violence
  • Death
  • Alcohol

!!!!!WHAT ARE DIWAMATA(S) ?

Diwamata(s) are a demonic angel species based on the filipino folklore of the manananggal and diwa concepted by 134340zzz, operated alongside pawfaiit & chuupew

A Diwamata is spawned either as a fallen angel of God or the corrupt creation of Erik - their job is to harvest souls to further their lifespan and eventually replace their mortal counterparts from the land of the living.


!!!!!DIWAMATA(S) COME IN . . .

Three (3) different rarities ! Standard, Blessed, & Hexed. Only Standard/Blessed MYOs can be distributed in-following the official launch.

Standard only includes the following traits:

Manananggal build - the upper body can detach from the lower body, often leaving a scar around the torso area.
Head wings - either feathered/angel or bat/devil wings.
Tails - either feathered/angel or bat/devil tails.
Halo (with an eye in the middle) - halos can transfigure into an accessory to hide their traits.
  • Headpiece halo
  • Tailpiece halo
  • Standard circular-shaped halo
  • Only guts/gore, bones, or sealed insides.
  • Legs - human or deer legs.
Blessed/Hexed comes in more variety and design opportunities such as: anthropomorphic features, more wings/halos, Diwamata-accurate form, and guts/gore variety; see the rest of the traits here.

!!!!!WHY IS THERE AN INTEREST CHECK ?

We have conducted an interest check before the official launch due to us needing more staff on our team. Currently, we are a team of three people managing the 80% work done for Diwamata(s) as of late, now we are searching to expand our team to manage the toyhouse world & discord following the official launch.

We are looking for 3-4 people to join us in the moderation team, and 3 guest artists to make a themed adoptable-design for release on launch date, what are the qualifications?

Moderation Qualifications :
While you may submit an application even without any experience, having one of these qualifications may boost your chance of being accepted as these are traits the existing admins are currently struggling with in the existence of college & work life.

  • Experience/Understanding in code/html
  • Experience in running discord servers in the past
  • Experience with GDocs/GSheets
  • Experience in managing other closed/open-species in the past
  • Experience in conversing with people (team player/socialite)

Guest Artist Applications :
While there is no strict qualification when it comes to applying for a guest artist, for the launch as of current, we are planning on attributing to filipino culture where the closed species is originally inspired by so. . . knowing Filipino culture ( or other SEAsian cultures with a similar concept ), being very well-inverse in the concept of angels, the afterlife, and demons may boost your chance of being accepted as we want to showcase Diwamata traits in the best way possible interpreted by different artists with their culture.

  • Username:
  • Designs/Art: (provide compiled artworks in one link, preferably 3 designs minimum)
  • Where will you post your design? (X, instagram, discord, etc.)
  • Why do you want to be a Guest Artist for Diwamata(s)?

GUEST ARTIST APPLICATION | STAFF APPLICATION


Interest Check will be up until further notice, applications for both will be closed on October 15, 2023 ( 11:59 pm GMT+8 ) for any questions or suggestions, feel free comment on the bulletin or join the discord to directly ask in our #🔮・questions channel.

Interested! I’ll probably use them on an ARPG-ish concept I wanted to make for a while?

134340zzz

PainterFight hello !! thank you sm for the interest - just wanted to clarify what you meant by the usage for your concept :0 ?

PainterFight

Hmmm, maybe as an additional species that can be used for the ARPG? (aside from the Spirits and Humans?)

t0huyuu

I was like "Huh, sounds like the diwata" and so I clicked, didn't expect this to be actually inspired by Filipino folklore, it's interesting! may I get a ping for launch? 🙇🏻
