/.about

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!

  • Anything hanging on a Kittybot’s eye cords or weighing on their tail are not allowed
  • “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

  • More than 1 cord per eye or more than 2 cords connected to both eyes, no eye cords at all

/.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
