• Ownership of laurelles require the laurelles stay within the Laurelle Corona universe and can not be listed as otherwise. Laurelles can have AU forms but must always have their closed species form listed plainly so not to cause confusion with a one-off design. 
• Custom designed laurelles with AU forms or laurelles based off of pre-existing ocs must have all forms given away if the laurelle is sold/traded/gifted to someone else. Those AU forms may not continue being used separately from the original form unless significant design changes are made so it no longer resembles the laurelle form.
• Ownership of laurelles can be revoked from an individual with repeated offenses and who is black listed from the group. Any laurelles and plumes will be voided and cannot be used any further in the group or ARPG.

Design

• You are not allowed to edit the original design of a laurelle or plume to change the overall design. Some design changes can be made without in-game purchases such as, drawing your laurelle trying out a new hair style, having an alt outfit, or exploring alternate universe looks of your laurelle. 
  • Buying the appropriate shop items is necessary to change things such as, traits and summons.
    
• Plagiarizing another laurelle is strictly prohibited along with making a design closely resembling another without permission. 
• When it comes to copywritten characters, please reference Toyhouse's rules on the matter, and keep these rules in mind when thinking about where you're drawing your inspiration from;

We do not host canon character re-uploads. This includes:

-Direct re-uploads of characters that exist in published media

-Direct AU versions, re-designs or kinsonas of these characters, who share the same name, personality, and identity.

Regarding Canon-Inspired Characters:

We allow canon-inspired characters specifically where it's clear they're an original character who has been inspired by the canon content, rather than AU fanart and fanfic of a canon character. As long as your character has their own name, and a profile/design that reflects they're intended to be individual from the canon character and are not literally the canon character, they should be fine to upload. Adding some background to the character's profile to explain who they are will help a lot to ensure they don't get mixed up.

Don't advertise these as for sale or trade on-site.
