COLONIST DOCUMENTATION
In order to level up your colonist and participate in the game, they have to be officially documented on the website. Documentation is essentially the same thing as Character Creation, or for other ARPGs, import upload.
Rules
NAMES:
- Names cannot have slurs or heavy swears in them.
- Names should not be more than 50 characters. If it's making the page look weird, it's too long.
DESIGNS:
- Colonists must adhere to the design standards. There are free lineart resources that you may use, hosted on deviantart.
- Designs cannot show any markings or mutations, etc, that are not listed in the phenotype or trait listing.
If you feel like there is an error in your phenotype in any way, report it via Discord or Deviantart! - Designs cannot hide any markings or mutations that they have, unless:
- Two mutations overlap, such as two different types of ear or a bob tail and a long tail.
- Another marking covers the other marking, such as is often in the case of white-spotting genes.
- A limb that shows the marking is removed via an item application.
Lifespan of a Colonist
The Geno
This is the stage that all randomly generated (not bred) colonists begin as. They need a design approved before they can earn any experience points or level up!
The Whelp
Only applicable to colonists born via breedings or found as whelps. Once they earn 25 experience points, you will have to submit a Design Update Request with their adult design in order to continue Leveling them.
The Adult
The final stage and final Design Update you will need to submit. If your colonist began its life as an adult, which is most often the case for new colonies, this is the only actual design you will need to submit. If you're having trouble, refer to the Character guide in the New Player Guide Series.
