!! Important things

- They are robot, not a human.

- They can not eat real food (unless when human AU)


 

General

  1. They are robots but have human minds. They believe that they can become human through wishes, but some aren't interested in this at all.
  2. Actually, maybe their minds aren't quite the same as humans' after all...
  3. They wear sailor-themed outfits (I just call them that even if they don't look like it lol...) and you can re-design/create other outfits for them.
  4. They have colored eyes.
  5. They almost never have achromatic eyes. (mainly applies to MYOs - it's a rare trait)
    * It means that they don't have a soul or will be scrapped. However, this is allowed if they are a Joker type.

Ears

  1. The inner ear part is covered by fabric/leather/etc. and is almost always RED or BLACK in color.
  2. The ear shapes come from card suit symbols ♠ ♣ ♦ ♥.
    They always have speakers shaped like a double circle ◎ inside. Please take note if you are designing MYO otos for a MYO event (-> see Stories)
  3. Among otos there are nobles as well, and their designs contain elements that mimic aristocratic attire. (-> see Royal option)
  4. They have a tail formed from their shadow, which is almost always black in color.

ABOUT ROYAL/JOKER

//ROYAL

  1. Their ears are decorated with a metal rim.
  2. Royal types are divided into 3 types, King (wear a crown), Queen (have frills under their outer ear covers), and Jack (only have the metallic rim but count as royals).

//JOKER

  1. Their ears have a veil attached that gives them a joker (jester) hat look.
  2. Joker types have achromatic eyes (it means that they don't have any personality) and non-human parts. They can transform between their current form and human form anytime. When you obtain one (only for the first owner), you can ask me about the eye color and have them changed to a color of your choice only once before you receive the original art (but you may not edit the original art directly). The idea is that the new owner can put a new soul/personality into the oto's empty mind through the eye color. If you don't want to or you'd like to change it to a new color to fit their story, that's also fine.

 

OTHER TRAITS / MUTATIONS

When editing, you may remove these SR or mutation traits if you want to change them to regular common/uncommon traits, but you may not add special traits, and you may not recover their SR/mutation traits after you have already removed them from your oto.

- Exsamples for Special traits-

[Uncommon-rare]

Fluffy ear pads, Widen Ears, Long Ears, Noisy tail, Thorn tail, Gradation tail

[Mutation]

Heterochromia (this particular mutation will be used more often than the others), Shadow extends to oto's body(named as Shadowed tatoo), Melted ink tail, Bloomed tail, Flipped or any rotated/folded Ears, Broken Ears 

Superlative Mutation

I'm sorry if you were expecting traits like those above, but in all seriousness, this includes traits like:

- Animal head

E.g. wolf, cat, dragon etc. They can change back to human form.

- Ossanium

If an oto with a really big heart and lots of kindness wishes for it, they will become an attractive middle-aged gentleman.

I don't know why but they can transform into handsome young men with their own magic.

- Karuta paws

 the oto has paws (with paw pads) for their feet. The biggest pad is shaped like their card suit symbol.

*The  name "Karuta" is inspired by the mysterious team "Quartet". Nobody  knows who they are, but people assume the team is the creator or founder  of the oto factory.

The reason people know of team Quartet is because this word is stamped on otos' machine parts. Also when an oto with Karuta paws is made (these are never manufactured normally and only made in secret batches), this oto will unconsciously say 'As you wish, team Quartet' at first. Nobody knows what this means, but people have noticed the connection.

Skin color

Basically any oto have the color for skin within the range of Beige. But sometimes, whimsically Monochrome or other color that excludes beige Oto are pop-up.

Because of it's "Skin" so I do not want to call it as "Trait". so I appreciate If you call it as "personality of them" as other otos!

 

STORIES

  1. They can add resonance from their ears, but it's inaudible to animals. Alternatively, they can play ambient music to create atmosphere. They can also use them like normal ears (ear pads are fashion accessories, or can be used to mute their speakers if you don't want to listen to them).
  2. Their eye colors depend on their owner's favorite genre of music. If their owner loves high tempo music, they will have warm-colored eyes.
  3. They don't eat real food, but will eat music or songs played from any source (including their owner's singing). They also like it even it's played from a CD or other digital source. They love beautiful music for sure, and can understand the messages that the composers put in their music.
  4. But please remember: if an oto-chro consumes music given to them in a form that would make the composer sad, they will slowly lose their heart, and finally break down.
