Obtaining a MYO
MYOs are obtainable through cash purchase, species currency, events and raffles.
You may resell your MYO for it's value if it no longer interests you or return it for the equivalent in species currency.
Refunds are not given on cash purchases.
You may take as long as you like to complete your MYO.
Using a MYO
MYOs are always subject to approval before the design can be used freely.
When designing, be aware of your MYO Rarity. There are only 3 kinds of Pelu slots. Basic, Unique and Mutation.
To upgrade an existing slot you can purchase an individual trait on a higher tier through the Fragment Shop

Design Rules
You are allowed to base your Pelu design on a character that you own already. (Designers TOS must allow it too.)
You are NOT allowed to base your Pelu on a copyright character not owned by you. (Popular media characters, ect)
Hate symbols are not allowed on Peluchies.
Designs must be approved before they are used and submit to the Masterlist.
On occasion there may be a design that slips by that the mods do no notice has an incorrect trait, we may ask you to change the design or upgrade your slot after approval. This is not a rule we enforce often and only with good reasoning.

Skin, Pelt & Fur Info
When designing a Peluchie it's important to know the difference between Skin, Pelt and Fur.
Skin (cream) is a soft sort of rubber skin, it's pliable and a bit stretchy, it can be any natural skintone on a Basic Pelu and other colours with a Unique trait.
Pelt (blue, left) is a thin delicate layer of fabric fur that comes in many colours. Shown is the maximum pelt coverage, Peluchies will have varying length and the pelt length can be uneven on both sides. Pelus must have pelt on the arms, shoulders, sides and legs.
Fur (pink,right) is a downy soft layer of fur that is required on 10% of the leg. Additional patches of fur may be present on the design, On the body, most commonly the fur gathers at the joints (elbows, knees) and in the form of a collar

Pelt is required on the fingers (can be a gradient or blocked in.) but may extend over the hand into a glove and include fur!

Pelt Length will depend on your Peluchie's design but the minimum is shown in blue. Designs without enough Pelt or with too much will be asked to have edits made. Pelt may be covered with fur as well.

About Unique Traits
Unique traits are traits that change the visual appearance of a standard Peluchie, things that are added on top of the skin, pelt or fur or are superficial fall under this category. All Unique traits are non-plush. You are free to use or make up things to add to your Peluchie that are not on this list, but you may have to ask for clarification on if it's a Unique or Mutation Trait.
Note: If you have 1 unique trait, example; real wings; you can have multiple sets and this applies to other Unique traits like horns and plant growth ect.
Above examples are; Wing, plant growth and eye stalks (like a slug) and horns.

About Mutation Traits
Mutation traits are traits that change the physical structure of a standard Peluchie, things that change the physical anatomy or come from within the body falls into this category. This includes things like; glass parts, mermaid/naga lowerhalf. You are free to use or make up things to add to your Peluchie that are not on this list, but you may have to ask for clarification on if it's a Unique or Mutation Trait.

How do I know if my Trait is Unique or Mutation?
Well, if you can't figure it out, you can ask the mod team and we will be able to dictate what is what!
What if my idea for a Trait isn't on the trait list?
The fun thing about Peluchies is that they're able to be super diverse, even if your trait isn't listed, it'll probably be allowed with the right slot rarity!
