What are illegal traits?
Illegal traits are concepts and characteristics that are not allowed on any Kittybot design (AKA Kittybot No-No's). These aspects are Kittybot NO-NOs either because they defeat the purpose of a Kittybot being a ‘kitty’ or the species’ intended limitations.Some parts of this list, in regard to clothing choice/genre and setting, are subjective! Please ask staff if you are unsure your idea or design is okay!
Use CRTL+F if you're looking for something specific!

- “Decorated” halo shapes/halos going beyond the standard ring or basic shapes
- Small, light accessories like ribbons or light chains are allowed on the halo, so long as they’re not a part of it
- Halos not floating above the head
- ie. hanging on a limb, tail, etc. - they must either have their halo floating above their head or not there at all. if they are not a viral kittybot, they need their halo on at least 1 reference

/.illegal concepts
- Magical/elemental aspects
- ie. Kittybots are not inclined for magic, due to being robots, or controlling elements without being S-Class. "magical aspects" include high fantasy clothing, but this is subjective and it is recommended that users check with an admin
- Supernatural aspects
- Supernatural settings are fine, but the Kittybot cannot be supernatural itself
- Virus-infected or damaged kittybots without any stated status effects
- ie. an infected kittybot that is perfectly fine and dandy, which is contrary to official lore
- Historical existence before 1900s
- Periodical clothing, practices, and knowledge are completely fine, but Kittybots would not canonically exist beforehand
- Completely virtual kittybots
- Any MYOs or official designs should be ultimately physical in canon! The only completely virtual kittybot AIs can only be made by administrators
/.ask!
TENTATIVE DESIGN ASPECTS YOU SHOULD ASK ABOUT!
- Slight glowing designs on mechanical parts
- ie. the outer ear, on viral armor, etc. glowing clothing is OK as long as it's not part of the KB!
- Slight glowing on small parts of the body
- ie. fingers, etc.
- Face paint and stickers are OK! However, please remember to state them as such
Viral kittybots in general are considered to be more of an open-ended concept in regard to physical aspects!
- At most, 2-color patterns on the outer ear and hair
- Damage and scarring, open circuits under the skin -- it's normal for tails to have some rips, but major damage is questionable.
- Glowing hair -- eyes are intentionally lights, but hair is under consideration as a defect
- Trait-wise: At least a full sleeve of tattoos counts as a separate mod trait, even if your kittybot has freckles/etc. If you’re unsure, ask!
- NEW: Virtual Kittybot forms (completely AI in context) cannot be a Kittybot's main form. While it can be their form in the virtual cloud, all approved/official Kittybots should have their main form be entirely physical in canon.
/.illegal prosthetics
- Hollow glass
- With or without liquid/items inside
- Cage/casing something
- ie. caged animals inside or holding items
- Glowing prosthetics
- Glow-in-the-dark stickers on the outside are fine
- Digitigrade legs
