If an adopt has different rules from any of the below, it will be noted on that adopt. In general, these are my adopt rules.
Do not resell at profit. Total character sale can not exceed investment put in for the cumulative pieces of art. If used in HARPG, the registered name must have my prefix (OTEC). If used in DARPG, the registered name must have my prefix (OTEK). Otherwise, feel free to change the name as you see fit.
Change the breed, age, height, discipline, and history as you desire. You may change the sex of the character unless they have offspring. If the base permits it, I may be able to give you a new version with or without male genatalia. I prefer you do not alter the genotype unless I’ve made a mistake with it, but it isn’t forbidden. Do not make any significant changes to the design (color, markings) without my permission.
Do not change the species such as permanently changing a horse character into a dog character, but alternate forms and shapeshifted forms are allowed. Examples: Allowed: Turning the character into a human who has an equine form. Not Allowed: Turning an equine character into a canine one to use in DARPG. At that point, purchase a canine character instead.
If the character has parents, siblings, or offspring, they must remain related. Please link them somewhere in the profile.
I must be credited as the original designer on future refs. You don't need to do it on every show/training/etc. image, though, just references.
I prefer to be credited through my toy house (owlshine), but may also be credited off site as howowlish.deviantart.com.
