Species Rules

Traits can be found on each species' tab. You are welcome to join our Discord Server as well!


  • You can obtain species characters in different ways: Make Your Owns, Raffles, Customs, Trades and Sales. Once obtained a species character you may name the character, create personality and background information.

  • The origin of each species character must be the same or similar what the main lore says, apart from that you can include your character in any kind of story as long as you do not alter/edit the original lore. Alternate Universes are okay.

  • You are allowed to change the design as long as it is minor. With minor we mean things such as: Swapping colors, change or fix some markings, add accessoires/scars/clothings and change the appearance of traits such as removing or adding fur/hair/scales/ect (if your character has this specific trait) to a certain degree. Anything not seen as 'minor' will need a Trait Change item. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Please do not alter the original artwork, instead you may draw your own to apply changes. If you struggle to do this on your own you can ask other people to draw it for you.

  • If you purchase a character that is drawn by someone else please make sure to credit this person for the artwork/design. You may add the character to your Toyhouse or similar sites if wanted.


  • Customs are made by either official designers or the species/world owner himself. Restrictions need to be discussed first.

  • MYOs can be traded, Custom slots cannot.


  • You are allowed to trade your character.

  • Reselling is fine as long as the character is labeled as re-sellable.

  • Make sure each of you know the rules and that you are trading/selling an offical species character.

  • If the character you want to sell/trade comes with additional art or items you may change the sell value to a higher one. This also goes for species character obtained in art trades.


  • Please be polite, we don't want any form of hate speech or bullying.

  • This species/discord is not meant to be SFW but please hide your NSFW content behind a warning (especially sexual themes)!

  • Soullurker are the only species with no reproductive organs. Which means you may add reproductive orangs to your Deathling, Ink Demon and Neeraz with no restrictions.



Trivia

  • Glowgel: A magical body fluid creating glowing parts on each species. It is semi transparent and may show bones, organs and muscles. All colors common except black. Can have up to two different colors.

  • Unique Traits: Each species has their own unique trait which can only be used on the respective species, cannot be used for others.

  • Wings are a mandatory trait on Ink Demons and Neeraz! It is Mythical for Soullurkers and Deathlings.

  • Pupil shapes can be freely designed. Heterochromia and other Eye Mutations can be added freely too.

Gobaith (Glo-baif), which means hope, is a gigantic universe that has a multitude of connections to other universes and dimensions. A multiverse. In Gobaith, anything can happen, no matter how crazy. That's why this universe is so diverse. This main story revolves around the species called Soullurker, Deathling, Ink Demon and Neeraz. All four have their origins on Earth, but over the centuries they have also spread across the universes. However, all four are threatened by the same evil: Xeryna. An extraterrestrial being with such great power that she can destroy planets. Her little helpers, the Erx, also collect souls and pass them on to their leader, who thereby gains even more power.


  • Soullurkers are found everywhere in the universe, no matter where and in any form. This species is extremely adaptable and exists solely to protect their guard.

  • Deathling live mainly in the Cyllar dimension, on the planet Annyfen, where they serve their queen, Irohja, by collecting souls.

  • Ink Demons live on In'ahek, a beautiful planet in the Cyllar dimension, neighbors of the Deathling. They are extremely religious and technologically rather mediocre. Still strong and magical beings.

  • Neeraz come from planet Earth from South American folklore where they were once praised as gods. Basically they are small reptilian creatures with healing abilities. They too have reached for the stars and can now be found almost everywhere there is life.


Everything revolves around souls. An incomparable energy. While some try to protect them, others just want to keep them for themselves. Which path will you choose?


Liak souls are souls captured from powerful beings such as gods, demigods, demons, angels, magicians, witches and a Soullurkers Gard. Those souls are extremely worthy to Deathling and grants powers to whoever consumes them. It is very risky though.

Earth

The beautiful planet earth inhabited by Humans who have long forgotten Magic exists in between them. We are currently in the 22st Century and humans still do not know what peace means.


In'ahek

Bigger than Earth, this Planet is full of magic and wonders. Ink Demons are the main species and are rather intelligent - though kinda stuck in the medieval age. Their world is filled with the richest gemstones.

Cyllar

Smaller than Earth, this Planet was a dead rock until Selbrac and Deathling turned it into a gigantic Soul-powered city. The whole planet is a city, there is barely any vegetation. Queen: Irohja.


The Void

Nobody knows where it came from, it just... appeared. It is a pocket universe, the home of Xeryna. Avoid at all costs!

Soullurker

A soul manifested into blood and flesh. Soullurkers are magical creatures born from your soul who can talk and walk and are there for your company and protection.

The first Soullurkers to exist were a two headed Wyvern and an Unicorn that appeared in the middle ages. They belonged to two humans, a King and a Queen. Both were like two sides of a coin; the King a cold and merciless monster; the Queen soft, humble and understanding. Despite their opposing personalities they were meant for each other, both outweighed their negative traits and made them one of the greatest leaders around that time.
Their Lurkers were the same in terms of personality. The Wyvern, Wagir, was a gigantic monster, fierce and brutal. He was used to fend off enemy armies, to protect this land. The Unicorn, Eiryn, was quiet and friendly, bringing fertility to this land. People never had to fear starvation and diseases. Due to Soullurkers longevity their Gards lived for over 250 years, ruling this land undefeated. However, they cannot live forever and they came to a point where death was creeping sooner and sooner. The King feared death like nothing else, he wanted to exist forever in this world - so he decided there was only way: dark, forbidden magic. The Queen was against it firstly but even she was afraid of dying, so were their Lurkers.
A ritual was performed to fuse a human with a Soullurker, to fuse souls and bodies together. It was extremely risky but it was their only solution. The result was the King fusing with Wagir and the Queen with Eyrin, their memories, their personalities and powers where melted with each other. Successfully they have turned into one with elemental bodies and immortality. However their powers grew stronger than expected, destroying their bodies and sanity. At this moment, they knew their presence could potentially destroy the planet. With Eiryn and Wagir's disappearance, it left the Kingdom in confusion and destruction. Fertility gone, enemies enslaving people and conquering this land. The Kingdom fell.


The Emptiness

The Emptiness is a special realm or a so-called 'Pocket Universe' between all existing dimensions. It has no particular environment, always changing in appearance as whatever the Great Ones want it to be. Most of the time it appears as a surreal light room, floating fragments looking like glowing gem shards that are pulsing in many different colors and shapes. White clouds are always hovering just above the ground to give you the feeling of walking on air. Physical bounds do not work in this realm. Any Soullurker can enter this with a physical projection of themselves, able to talk with other Lurkers from across the globe and even from different dimensions. This is also the only place where you may be lucky to find one of the Great Ones - Wagir and Eiryn.Soullurkers are the protector of souls, especially those from their Gards. Both the Gard and their Lurker may choose to protect other souls as well by fending off their arch nemesis: Deathlings. Deathlings steal souls and like to target Gards with their Lurkers as their souls are extremely worthy. Both species are in a constant fight.The hatred towards Soullurkers also comes from the fact that Selbracs had to leave the planet earth due humans hunting them down but Soullurkers were welcomed to stay. It was unfair in Deathlings eyes.


Anatomy

Soullurkers cannot be compared to any other being, their bodies are long and thin, leaving little room for internal organs - which they do not have. These beings look as if they were stretched out on the rack. They are not born. They slowly form in their host, which we call Gard. Soullurkers are the manifested souls of their Gard and often resemble them in personality. It is impossible to separate a Gard from its Lurker, the only way would be death. Because Lurkers have no internal organs, they do not need solid food or liquid to survive. They feed solely on dreams - either of their Gards or of foreign beings. This process does not harm the dreamer.The feet of a Soullurker are usually hand-like with a functioning thumb. The tail is almost always divided into segments and is held together by the magnetic field that their body creates. The head of a Lurker is very special, they have no mouth because they do not need to feed on anything, but can communicate through telepathy. Lurkers also only have one fairly large eye on their face, which is often centered, but can sometimes appear on other parts of the head. Their vision is therefore not as good as that of humans, but they can see in spectrums that are not visible to us. In addition, these creatures can also look into the souls of others to find out if they pose a threat to their Gard.The blood is replaced by a substance that we call Glowgel. This gel appears on certain parts of the body, is warm and glows in different colors.


Felurker

common subtype

This cat looking sub-type is also very commonly seen. Their personalities vary and are known for their sudden mood swings. Just like Lurkerdogs their appearances and sizes vary greatly, taking on domesticated or wild breeds - even the mighty sabertooth. Felurkers can digest food and produce hairballs.


Lurkerdog

common subtype

It happens quite often that a newborn Soullurker takes on a canine appearance, making a great companion and protector. Their personalities are often very similar to their Gard. Unlike average Soullurkers, Lurkerdogs can digest physical food. The size and appearances of Lurkerdogs vary greatly, they can take on many different dog and wolf breeds from the gentle Great Dane to the fierce Chihuahua.

Soulbird

mythical subtype

Soulbirds come in so many shapes and forms it is hard to keep track of them. They are always appearing avian including extinct animals such as the Dodo and even flying reptiles, penguins, ostriches, archaeopteryx, sparrows, condors, argentavis. The list is endless. They have vocal cords and are capable of learning languages or imitating noises/voices. Soulbirds also have a digestive system.


Hollow / Ghoul

unique subtype

Sometimes a Gard dies prematurely, either naturally or unnaturally, and sometimes a Soullurker remains. In most cases, this Lurker becomes a Hollow. A Hollow is a soulless creature doomed to wander the dimensions forever in search of something long lost. A Hollow is unpredictable, but usually apathetic and not particularly threatening. Then there are Ghouls, who are created in the same way as a Hollow. However, Ghouls, as the name suggests, are much older and their bodies have changed over the centuries to something that could be described as a nightmarish appearance. They are extremely aggressive.
Ghouls are a Mythical trait.


Traits

Each Trait is split into these Types: Ears, Body, Glowgel and Unique.


  • Ears: Can only be placed on the head, size and length can vary greatly. Body traits may affect Ears.

  • Glowgel: The glowing body fluid found on the body. All colors common except black. Can have up to two different colors.

  • Unique: Mimic and Hollow/Ghoul.


  • Face: Can be shaped differently including thickness and length! But can only have simple Shapes.

  • Tails: Are affected by the Body trait.

  • Horns: No restrictions. Must start on the head. Any size, length, shape and amount. Can be affected by Body traits.

  • Scars: No restrictions. Including amputation.

  • Clothings/Jewelry: No restrictions.


Blue = Common, Purple = Mythical, Green = Unique.

Ear Traits


Glowgel

  • Traits can slightly vary from the examples.

  • Example: 3/4 can be anywhere on the body but needs to have Skin Areas included. Same goes with Shaped (shapes can vary.)

  • Textured: Markings on the Glowgel. Must have Soft or Blurred Edges! Can be darker, lighter, white or black.

  • Filled: Any objects are possible.

Body Traits

Body traits can vary, these are just examples!Rule of thumb: If it exist on an animal it can be added to your design. Which means you can change styles, lengths, placements and shapes as much as you want to. Example: Fur and Hair styles can be natural or unnatural. Wings can be any type of wing. Take inspiration from nature.


Unique: Mimic

unique trait

Mimic completely ignores the body restrictions and will turn a Lurker into something very similar or even same to what their Gard looks like. They can even become something human looking with a mouth. The only exception is that the single eye and glowgel has to be present. There are no size restrictions either! This is a unqiue subtype and can only be obtained via special events. Once obtained a Mimic Slot, you can either turn an already existing SL into a Mimic or create a new design.

Deathling

Deathlings are canid looking creatures with translucent bellies who collect souls from other dimensions to bring them back to their home planet Annyfen. Souls are used like electricity.

Deathling originally are descendants of Annyfen's Hounds; a group of canids protecting the planet Annyfen. Said planet is within a separated, hidden dimension connected with ours and is inhabited with a species called Selbracs who are mostly anthromorphic or feral creatures looking similar to earth's fauna but with much more intelligence. The Queen of this species is Irohja. Selbracs use souls as primary energy which they receive from collectors - the Deathlings. The Soul Reactor was in the center of the planet, always guarded by at least two Hounds. However, on a tragic day an earthquake shook the planet and two Hounds fell into the reactor. After being pulled out their state was extremely unstable, releasing uncontrollably souls and magic which were already contaminated with Hound DNA. And to their surprise those souls formed into creatures now called Deathlings. It was called the chaotic season.The first Deathlings looked like dogs but with rather distorted bodies; they were full of magical powers and were sent to collect souls from other universes - or more likely steal them. One of the first ones was Otumeel who is now a Royal Guard of the Queen herself. After a few months the hounds learned to control their magic and no more Deathlings were accidentally born, now they reproduce in a different way. From this point on, Deathlings only purpose is to collect as many souls as possible to donate those souls in exchange for wealth and status. They are Irohjas favorite children.Each year in September they celebrate the 'Soul Festival' in which they show off the amount of souls they have collected to trade them for other goods and wealth. It could be compared to the Day of The Dead South-Americans celebrate. All souls collected will be sent to the reactor to power the planet for another year.
As a result of hunting down souls another species - Soullurkers - became one of their arch nemesis. Soullurker souls are an extremely wanted resource and give a Deathling the status of a Prime Hunter, which means they are respected and wealthy - almost like a royal. Most Deathlings will wear them as a trophy or trade them for magical powers. The hatred towards Soullurkers also comes from the fact that Selbracs had to leave the planet earth due humans hunting them down but Soullurkers were welcomed to stay. It was unfair in Deathlings eyes.


Anatomy

Deathlings appear feral or anthro and resemble the anatomy of a Doberman/German Shepherd mix. They have a slight sloped back, a large tail, pretty strong legs with big paws and retractable claws. Their main feature is transparent skin on most of their chest, belly and tail with guts and bones shining through. Guts/bones visibility can vary. Their blood is called Glowgel and may be any color with gradients or textures. Some even have items stuck within it for some odd reason.Their appearances can vary greatly! They can come covered in fur, feathers or scales, can have wings or even fins. With 'fantasy' we mean any type of physical distortion may it be mutations or magical causes. Growth such as fungal, floral or mineral, extra limbs, multiple wings/tails, goopy bodies, large open wounds/zombified looks. Scars and amputations however are commonly seen.Deathlings feed on prey they hunt, but they may be strict vegan or carnivore only, each DL differs. They have large upper canines that can inject paralyzing venom which will immobilize their victim after a few minutes. A Deathlings eye can be any color and pupil shape, but there always has to be two pupils and sometimes there can be two irises.One very important thing is the Lantern, each Deathling receives an item that can hold a light source at the day of their birth which they collect souls with it. Souls are important to their society, they are a currency in Cyllar. Lanterns can be literally anything, from simple light bulbs and candles to complex looking items as long as they are somehow connected to the body and are able to hold souls within it. This does not have to be the tail. The more souls, the brighter the Lantern glows, which also means the more souls the more wealth a Deathling has.New Deathlings are born when two adults come together, share their souls and place a lantern next to a round object. It only works once there's a purple full moon which is happening every three months in Cyllar. The round object can be made out of anything as long as it is hollow. It only takes a week or two for a baby DL to develop within the hollow object and another week for it to hatch. Its appearance may be similar to its parents or completely different depending on the souls.
Deathling sizes can vary between 1 meter to 5 meters. Ling can be smaller but never grow over 3 meters and Greater can become up to 10 meters tall.

Unique: Corrupted

This happens when a Deathling consumes too many Liak souls. It makes them incredibly strong but the more the corruption spreads, the uncontrollable it gets - it always ends in death. Those 'cracks' can glow, drip or have smoke around them. They can even leak elemental magic. Can be any color!

Neeraz

formerly Noodle-Dragons / Nooz.

Little friend shaped creatures from south america filled with magical abilities. Neeraz are a friendly and rather docile species.

These little creatures originate from South America and appeared long before the Spanish destroyed this country and its original inhabitants. The ancient Incas worshiped them as a deity and made sacrifices to them in exchange for fertility and healing. What they did not know, however, was that the Neeraz had no interest in these rituals and preferred to live away from any civilization. They are peaceful creatures who mainly lived in small groups in the jungle or old ruins and gathered once a year around the blood-red full moon. On this day, their magical abilities were recharged.On one fateful day, a particularly old and powerful Neeraz was captured by the Incas and locked in a cage. It was supposed to grant them wishes and forced them to do what they wanted through pain. It was cruel animal cruelty. The years passed and the Neeraz was exploited to the last until it finally lost all its magic. Not only that, but the halos lost their brightness and shape, looking more like heavy, distorted lines. Back then, the Incas didn't know how important Neeraz were to the environment, wherever they appeared, the land was lush and teeming with life. But now that one thing had changed, the land around this settlement became sick, corrupted and dry. The Incas called it a Fallen Angel. Eventually, people fled the area or died of incurable diseases caused by the Fallen Neeraz. It was forgotten, perhaps the cage became brittle and it was released, or other Neeraz freed it - the area has not recovered to this day and is still an eyesore in the middle of the jungle. Feared because of the old legends.For centuries, no Neeraz had been seen, until suddenly they appeared again... to be abused by humans again. Neeraz are a popular pet, easy to keep, cute and, if you treat them well, a friend for life. What many people don't know is that these little creatures have the same intelligence as humans, but are able to hide it skillfully. Now Neeraz can be found all over the world, and of course on other planets too.


Anatomy

These creatures resemble a lizard with wings. The anatomy is rather flat and elongated, with fairly short legs and large feet. Similar to geckos, this species also has small spikes on its toes that allow them to walk up vertical walls. Neeraz are small creatures, no bigger than a medium-sized dog, very light and can float through the air seemingly effortlessly. The face is thick and round shaped with a slit-like nose, large eyes and a mouth with many small but sharp teeth, which they use to hunt mainly fish and insects. Perhaps the greatest feature of the Neeraz are the four pairs of wings: one directly on the back of the head and the other on the lower back/hips. They are often too small to actually be suitable for flying.The eyes of a Neeraz are quite large for the rest of the body, giving them a cute expression, which makes them particularly popular as pets. However, these creatures are far more intelligent than previously thought and they even have their own language, which is somewhat reminiscent of Quechua.The Glowgel in this species is mainly found in special pockets inside the body. These in turn are located on the throat and chest. It is often used as a weapon by squeezing a Neeraz out of these pockets and spitting it out of the mouth. Once it comes into contact with oxygen, it ignites and turns into fire. Unlike the rest of the species, Neeraz have completely normal blood. The so-called halos that appear on the body of these beings are also related to the Glowgel. Most Neeraz have simple shapes like rings around the limbs or even halos that look like small pieces of jewelry. Some, however, have much more complex and large-scale halos that can take all kinds of shapes.

Ling

common subtype

Lings are an even longer Neeraz subtype with short legs, smaller heads and extra wings growing on the body. They often come furred or scaled, or both. Resembling the anatomy of an eastern dragon. They are loved for their elegant appearance.


Gremlin

mythical subtype

As the Name says, this subtype is only half the size of a standard Neeraz and comes with large claws and overgrown teeth. Gremlins are also shorter and have a more compact body structure. They are often more vicious and like to play tricks on others.

Fallen

common subtype

Whenever a Neeraz is treated badly or held in appropriate conditions the Creature will lose its will to live slowly but surely. If that happens, the Neeraz will become more and more apathetic and lose all of their bright colors and their Halos will become distorted. Until their soul dies and they are left behind with grief. Their actions will become random and unpredictable.


Draconic

unique subtype

Will give the Neeraz an armored and scaled look with large spikes and ridges, powerful legs and a tail that can be used as a weapon. Draconic Neeraz always comes with leathery wings and heavy builds.


Traits

Body Examples are drawn on a Soullurker chibi, however they work the same on Neeraz.
Each Trait is split into these Types: Body, Halos and Unique.


  • Ears: Small ear holes underneath the wings.

  • Halos: Simple to Complex shaped.

  • Unique: Draconic.

  • Wings: Any natural shape and size.

  • Glowgel: The glowing body fluid found on the body. Only found on throat, toes and halos. All colors common except black. Can have up to two different colors.


  • Face: Can be shaped differently including thickness and length!

  • Tails: Are affected by the Body trait.

  • Horns: No restrictions. Must start on the head. Any size, length, shape and amount.

  • Scars: No restrictions. Including amputation.

  • Clothings/Jewelry: No restrictions.


Blue = Common, Purple = Mythical, Green = Unique.

Halo Traits

Most Halos are simple shaped resembling rings floating around the body or small pieces of jewelry. Commonly it only covers a minimal part of the body. However with the mythical trait those Halos can cover a lot more of the body and become even complex shapes. There are a few examples below!

Body Traits

Body traits can vary, these are just examples!Rule of thumb: If it exist on an animal it can be added to your design. Which means you can change styles, lengths, placements and shapes as much as you want to. Example: Fur and Hair styles can be natural or unnatural. Wings can be any type of wing.
