What is a lunar shark?
Lunar sharks (lunarctos) are nocturnal creatures
somewhere between sharks, bears, and moths, and are the
sole inhabitants of Aeon, the small island they are native to.
Different types of lunar sharks:
While it is rumoured that they once lived in a
harmonious community, these creatures long ago
split into factions, keeping to their own and slowly
growing apart. Each faction has unique characteristics,
distinctive appearances and markings that show at night,
clearly identifying them.
General rules:
- Do not claim lunar sharks you do not own
- Do not claim the base/lines as your own work
- Do not edit the base of any lunar sharks - this includes standard/still available lines, archived lines and even your own/pre-existing sharkies
- According to CS rules, do not use more than one account to gain lunar sharks (all owned sharks will be confiscated)
- You may not host giveaways for lunar sharks you no longer wish to own - you may give it away to a user of your choice (with their agreement) and post it in trading, or you may donate it to the adoption centre [Loners tab] where we will give it away for you
- Have an archive post
- You can put the lunar sharks you own wherever you please (character storages, TH, CS signatures, offsite, etc...) as long as it links back to this main thread (credit!)
Note:
there will be specific rules for expeditions / customs / breedings / trading / shops / discord - make sure the read the appropriate rules before posting
FAQ:
- Can I get a lunar shark for free? Yes, most lunar sharks are free (giveaways, litter-drops, expeditions) but you can also pay for customs/breedings
- How do I get a lunar shark? As listed above, your very own sharkies can be obtained through giveaways on discord, found exceptionally on expeditions, from litterdrops (FCFS and raffles) as well as ordering customs or trading for another user's lunar shark.
- Can I participate in forum games (ex. expeditions) without owning a lunar shark? Unfortunately, you must have a lunar shark to send on an expedition. However, if you do not own one, you can make an arrangement with another owner to temporarily borrow one of theirs until you get your own.
Note: do not worry if you do not own your own lunar shark, a lot of raffles/FCFS litters or at least parts of them will be geared towards non-owners to make sure everyone has the chance of having their own!
- If my lunar shark has been assigned a faction can I change it? If you own the required items, you can. You'll have to post an image application form.
- Can I make my own faction/markings for my lunar shark? Yes, making your own factions/markings is allowed, there will be items to be able to apply your own markings onto official designs in the future. However, these factions will not be considered a part of a canon faction and will not be able to participate in faction specific forum games!
- Can I make my own lunar shark? Yes.. and no.
> Lunar sharks as a species are open!
YOU MAY:
- design your own lunar shark for your own personal use/oc
- design your own lunar shark to show an artist exactly what you're looking for in a custom
- design unofficial lunar sharks for others for their personal use however you may not sell them/request payment
- make art of your official lunar shark/other people's luna sharks (for free or requesting payment)
> However, lunar sharks as a UMA are closed!
YOU MAY NOT:
- use an unofficial lunar shark (one without an id) to participate in forum games like expeditions
- trade unofficial designs for official designs (or any other form of payment as mentioned above)
- post unofficial designs in any forms (expeditions, adding items, archives, etc...)
Note:
if questions are ask recurrently + as the species develops, the FAQ will update! If you have any questions that have not been answered, feel free to ask them in the appropriate channel in our discord server
[or on this thread until the server is up!]
