Toy Cherubs's Bulletins
Alrighty, I got a good amount of people responding, so let's step forward with some details as to what I would like to start work on doing!
For starters, I definitely want to get the ARPG going in some fashion, even if it's super simple quest stuff at the moment. In order to do that, I'll need to come up with things that provide more of an incentive to do it, like set up the trait and MYO shop, as well as dip into more story elements and worldbuilding for TCs.
Speaking of which!!
Wonder who these two lil fellas are~
But, in order to get some better sense of organization, I will definitely need some formal mods here in the group, and as far as I recall, nobody ever submitted an application to the form I made in the discord server.
Aaand the discord server! I know lots of people can be a little bit adverse to joining servers for groups like this, especially if they're just more on the Collection side, but up until now, the structure of the world has been handled entirely by me--Some friends have contributed designs for the raffles and events, which I'm thankful for, of course, but pulling everything together for the forums, world page, masterlist, etc. has all been one person.
As such, I'd really like to hear from anyone who might be interested in being a mod! The species is pretty much in its infancy, so there's a lot of directions for things to potentially go in! You'll have to join the discord server as it's just miles faster for communication imo, and you'll also have to help with managing it, but you won't be entirely out of water cause not much has been done yet!!!
Finally, I definitely think I'd like to open things back up with another MYO event, maybe coming up with some new traits to debut, or pets! I had some ideas for pets, and those seem like fun things in arpgs! Already got some ideas on what it would be brewing, case in point the friends up there, but nothing is set in stone yet.
So yeah!! LMK your thoughts!!
HIIIII I really fell off the horse for these fellas kinda, huh.
I wanna apologize for that, truly ;-; I basically had to pack up and move across the ocean, it took some time to get my art supplies over, and then it took some more fiddling to get a good compute setup, and then.... the mental was very illnessed.
But! I might be able to get to a spot where I can resume work on these friends again, if the crowd is still interested! I'll have to see what needs to be reorganized and the like first, but!! I've by no means forgotten these cuties, I just haven't had much brainspace to dedicate to them too much.
So, here's a lil thing to say if you're still interested in Toy Cherubs, pop on into the comments!!!
Hello! Once again reminding everyone that there is a discord server now!! You can go see the link over in this bulletin here: https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/421914.-discord-server-is-live-
Also just a reminder that YOU NEED TO SUBMIT AN INTRO TO SEE THE WHOLE SERVER.
The official discord server is live!! Come hop in!! I'm looking for mod applicants, and the form is in the server!!

The discord server is now live!!! Come and join the Toy Cherub community!
Alrighty, so! I have settled in to a place with stable internet, and I can draw (though I do not have access to all my older files, unfortunately). So, I'm thinking about setting up the discord server now.
THUS, I need to do some considerations for a mod team, not just with the server, but the species as a whole.
My plan for Toy Cherubs as a species is to make something fun and casual anyone can get into with designs that, at least when they're first made, don't break the bank. (Honestly I WOULD like to avoid scenarios in which designs could go for more than 100 even considering additional art, but I guess we'll address that when it seems to pop up)
So I need some people who are interested in helping mod a closed species! You'll also help with things like designing NPCs for the eventual ARPG, coming up with designs/themes for group gachas and adopt sets, and more!
I'll be making a google form later which will be shared via the discord server, and the link to said server should be up laterrrrr today? Hopefully? So keep an eye out!!
I think a good team would be me and three other people to start off with, so that's the number I'll be looking for when going over applications, at least!!
The First Time Owner event is now closed! It will re-open a in a while on a more permanent basis, but due to personal things going on, I can't keep track of everything for the time being.
The Plethora of Plushies Gacha will remain open for three more days. If you still have an unused Free Pull Pass and wish to redeem it, please do so as soon as you can! Once it closes, the leftover Toy Cherub designs will go up for flat sale.
I hope you all enjoyed the event!! It was very fun seeing how all the various Cherubs interacted!!
A reminder that the FTO event ends on June 25th, about 10:00 PM GMT+2!
It's time for the FIRST-TIME OWNER EVENT! This event allows people to create their own Toy Cherubs if they are not currently the owners of any. However, current owners can still participate with their own designs and receive rewards as well!
So let's see what the dealio is:
-----
Dominoe: YOU AND YOUR FELLOW TENDERS ARE ALWAYS SO STUCK UP, FLAUNTING YOUR CARE IN OUR FACES! YOU THINK YOU JUST OWN THE WHOLE TOYBOX, HUH?
Patchwork: Every time you throw a fit like this, it's the same... Or need I remind you--Actually, I think I will: Tiddlywink, what's the current score for this year?
Tiddlywink: U-Um... 14 to 3, in favor of the Tender Cherubs.
Patchwork: Oh! We might even beat our yearly record soon!
Dominoe: US TORN CHERUBS ARE GOING TO RIP YOU TO SHREDS! WE CHALLENGE YOU TO ANOTHER GAME!
Patchwork: I mean, Torn are already pretty uncommon as it is, but look around... There are so few present today. Do you really think you can win as it is?
Patchwork: Let's hold off on the match for now. Instead, let's see who's here first. I think it's time for a...
FIRST-TIME OWNER EVENT: ROLL CALL
The leaders of the Tender and Torn factions, Patchwork and Dominoe, seem to have gotten into another argument again... Ah, but isn't that just the usual for Toy Cherub life?
However, before the real 'games' can begin, it looks like Patchwork wants everyone to be on the same page and know who's here. So why not do that?
For this event, people who do NOT have Toy Cherub designs will be allowed to create one design, and then use it for the latter half. Those who already have a design (or two) can skip over to the aforementioned latter half.
THIS EVENT WILL LAST UNTIL JUNE 25TH
PART 1: FIRST TIME OWNERSHIP
FIRST TIME OWNERSHIP RULES:
- Please be sure to look over the Traits List and Terms of Use pages on the world!
- All FTO Designs from this event will only be allowed to have up to COMMON Overall Rarity!
- Join the world, obviously!
- Once you have joined, please head on over to the MYO Submission Forum to look at the information you will require.
- For the "Ownership Confirmation" section, PLEASE simply put 'FTO' or 'First Time Owner'!
- Once you have your design finished, submit it to the MYO forum as requested. When your design is approved, you can then move on to the second half of the event!
This part is easy! Simply take your Cherub and draw or write them interacting with the Cherub(s) of somebody else!
The context for this meeting is that Cherubs are coming from all around to see what the squabble of the week between Patchwork and Dominoe is. Does your Cherub have a strict loyalty to their side? If your Cherub is Unaligned, do they take a side? How do they interact with others on their side, or on the opposite side? Or maybe they just don't care about all this and want to make friends? The choice is yours!
When you are ready with your entry, please head on over to this forum, and submit it as the forum details! When your entry is approved, you will then be provided with your rewards, which you may use how you wish.
EVENT REWARDS
For each Cherub that participates in this event, you will receive the following rewards:
- x5 Revival Tags, which can be used to acquire an Ascended Form once you get 100.
- 1 Free Pull Pass, which allows a free pull at any open gacha of your choosing.
YOU CAN FIND THE GACHA HERE!
Hello! I've just finished uploading the resource assets for the group to a character, with item categories noted by subgalleries. You can use these files for placeholder images, group inventories, and the like if you so wish!
In fact, before the gacha is posted it is highly recommended you come up with some sort of system to keep track of the items and tickets you may earn in events such as this! We highly recommend something public, as we will be operating on the faith system for the most part to keep track of who has what.
Whether it be attaching a tab to your main TC or what have you, it's fine, but please be sure to keep a detailed record of what you have, and proof of ownership for everything!
In the meantime, here is what the lineup for the gacha is currently looking like:
The items boxed by a darker line can only be received once, so one they've been won, they're taken out of the pool.
I should be set up to start the FTO event pretty soon, and all participants will earn 5 Revival Tags and a Free Pull Pass, the latter of which will allow you to make a pull on the gacha without spending anything.
After your Free Pull Pass is spent, all further rolls will be $5, but details about payment in that regard will be elaborated on once things are live.
Get ready, everyone!!
