[ Monthly Prompts ]


Monthly prompts are usually posted at the beginning of the month and run until the first day of the next. These are little optional, side-events that you can do to boost up your Demon Coin earnings. But you can only get their bonus once unless the prompt description says so! The amount of prompts will vary each month depending on the bigger events that are going on for that month. 




 Lore update: Aging [ 200 DC ]


We have decided to update a part of the Warpa lore to bring you a more detailed explanation regarding aging. In the original lore, Warpas weren’t considered adults until they had gained their humanoid form, earning their markings as a sign of adulthood. But we never really specified how long that took and after thinking about it, it would have complicated things if they got their humanoid form right away, as they wouldn’t know how to even walk on two legs or use their human body. That is why we came up with a growth time frame and a new stage that serves as a learning period for the Warpa so they know how to also use and live with a humanoid form.

 

Life stages 

Baby: When a Warpa is born, they are born as a tier 1 and they are relatively small, almost like the size of a puppy, no matter what animal they are. Their eyes are closed and their hellring is a transparent color. During this time, the offspring has to sit against its parents so that they can transfer some of the nightmare energy to the baby. This is because it takes some time for the baby to start using their powers and without them, they cannot feed. The Warpa's brain has to be developed enough because if they start to use their abilities too early, the babies' body will not be able to support its power and they will weaken, leading to death. 

Ages 1-4: During this period, Warpa parents are tasked to teach their babies behavioral characteristics and speech. They often start talking around the one year mark. When the Warpa baby is able to fully communicate, this is when parents can start doing ‘mind’ exercises with their baby to train their powers and teach them control. This can be done so by sitting against each other to let their minds connect, which allows the parent to take them to ‘mock’ hunts so they start getting used to the feeling. If a parent is not present and they are not able to do this with the child, they will still be able to hunt for energy but, because their control is untrained, they will experience frequent headaches, dizziness and sometimes hallucinations until their body gets used to it. It is impossible for a Warpa to NOT learn how to feed, as that is in their instinct.

Age 5 (Kid stage) : During this stage, the Warpa is considered mature enough to go on their first nightmare hunt alone. Apart from the development of their psychic powers, they are also able to ‘adopt’ a humanoid form to communicate with other demons better. They also use this form to move around easier or to go inside places where they wouldn’t normally fit. When a young Warpa goes on their first nightmare energy hunt, they steal most of the appearance traits from the human that the nightmare belongs to and creates a form similar to it. Once they do, they stick with that humanoid look for the rest of their lives. This is also the time when they are allowed to get their markings, and their hellring’s color changes.

Now it is important to understand that once Warpas steal the human’s appareance, they will NOT look like that right away. Since the Warpa is still in development, their humanoid body also needs to grow. And so they will look like a 5 year old child and as they grow, that appareance also develops.

Ages 12-15 (Teenage stage): This is the ‘puberty’ time for Warpas, similar to us humans. Breasts start to grow and periods start to happen (Note: Warpa periods happen every 6 months. And they last for only 1 week). Many start to experience mating tendencies as well. You can say this is when their ‘heat’ starts to develop and their attraction for others will start to become more apparent. Since every Warpa is different, some Warpa have stronger urges than others so some might not feel that ‘heat’ period as strongly as others.

 

Ages 16-19 (Young Adult stage): During the 16-19 years of age period, a Warpa’s body is considered mature enough for mating. Most Warpas tend to want to be independent by this time as well, so many of them might leave their pack or families to start their own adventure.

 

Age 20 (adult): And finally, once a Warpa turns 20 years old, they are considered an official adult Warpa. But, this does not mean that a Warpa’s humanoid form stops growing. That form actually ages in ‘real time’, meaning that if your Warpa got their humanoid looks from a 70 year old man, then it will take 70 years for it to reach its true looks. But after they reach that 70 year mark, the humanoid form stops aging. It is the same if the Warpa got their humanoid form from a 10 year old child, then when the Warpa reaches 10 years of age, their humanoid stops growing. BUT, just because the humanoid form reached its full mature stage, it does NOT mean the Warpa is considered an adult. They HAVE to reach that 20 year mark no matter if they look like a child on their humanoid or not.

If you have any questions about this timeline, or about the new aging information, feel free to ask us in the discord!

 


And now for the prompt: Draw your Warpa as a baby, kid and how they currently look now. You are free to add more stages if you want like a teenager stage or their young adult stage. But the minimal requirement will be these 3. Keep in mind babies start as Tier 1s, so you are free to change/remove some of the traits to fit the tier restrictions. You can see Christopher’s image below as an example of what we are looking for. We just want you to focus on adjusting your Warpa’s story to the new lore and explore how the early stages of their life changed (or did not change) because of this addition. You are also free to write a story describing your Warpa’s life stages. Drawings must be at least a half-body and colored. You may also do a written entry, 400 words min.




Cooking it up [ 100 DC]

For this prompt, we want you to draw your Warpa making something delicious! Summer is a very plentiful season when it comes to crops and fruits, so there are many delicious ingredients in season. You can draw your Warpa cooking by themselves, with family, friends, a loved one or even baking! That counts too. You can also write a story describing a scene that involves your Warpa cooking. Drawings must be at least a half-body and colored. You may also do a written entry, 300 words min.






[ Deadline ]

Submit your drawings to the [ MONTHLY PROMPTS ] Folder in the DA group or to the Submission-gallery channel in the discord server by July 31st EST 11:59pm EST.


Welcome to the Wheel of Misfortune game! Are you ready to try your luck?





How to play 


Every week, you'll be able to purchase a ticket that will give you 1 spin. All possible DC prizes that might show up on the wheel are listed below, thought the wheel will also include some variant prizes like: Random punishments, extra plays, items from the DC store, mutations, and sometimes even MYO tickets! 

Though each wheel will include 10 random items from the list below every week, meaning that there will be a different wheel every week. Wheels refresh on Sundays (We go by the EST time zone) and we will take a screenshot of the current wheel so that players can see what prizes are being offered. Though this is a wheel of MISfortune so of course not all prizes will be good. Be aware that when you enter, there IS a risk of losing DC. So please do not get upset if you end up losing some since we did warn you at the beginning! It is up to you if you wish to play that week or not. Of course, if you don't like that certain wheel, you are free to wait for the next one and see if there are more choices of your liking!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to as

!!  This species is aimed for mature audiences, meaning there will be more serious themes and topics that people who are not mature enough might not like, such as violence, religious and cult influences and other darker subjects. Even so, we welcome people of all ages as our events typically do not center around those topics. But please be aware that you will be restricted from posting any kind of NFSW artwork in the group AND in the discord if you are a minor.  !!







[ General Rules ]



1. Do not make an WPD without permission. Only from a MYO slot or through adoptions and raffles. Join the group to receive notifications of such events. WPD are NOT free, unless you receive a MYO ticket from me or get a free MYO slot from an event!!

2. We ask that WPD owners join or watch the group to keep track of the announcements or event journals.

3. Submit all Warpa related art to the correct folder. Art that has nothing to do with the group will be declined.

4. When designing your WPD, make sure you have read through everything in the “How to create your own" journal.

5. It is preferred if you show the group a WIP of your WPD design before you upload it so we can make sure it’s ok.

6. If you have a question about anything, please visit the "Q & A" Journal first. If your question is not answered, you may note the group or comment in the Q and A journal.

7. By owning a WPD, you agree that you have read and understood the species rules.



[ Retiring a design ]


If you decide that you no longer want to be part of the Warpa community, or if you are thinking of turning your Warpa into a regular demon character, please make sure to read these rules:

• If you got a design through an official adopt/raffle/DTA/ETC, under NO circumstances you are allowed to take the character out of the species. Meaning they cannot be retired in any way. If you decide you no longer want to be a part of the community, you can either sell or trade your demon over at the trading/resell hub. And you must notify the masterlist about the change of ownership. We ask that you also do not make OCs that closely resemble that character after you have traded/gifted/sold that design, because that is plagiarism. But you CAN take their name/story with you, since we don't own that!

• Only designs created through MYOs are allowed to be retired. This includes customs as well but you must also notify the original designer (And if they do not feel comfortable with it, they ARE allowed so say no). Retired designs are considered 'dead' designs that can no longer be used in or outside of the species. Ever. And this also means that you cannot gift/trade/resell the design if you change your mind. It is literally a frozen design that nobody can use anymore. You CAN create an OC that is based off of your Warpa demon, but these guidelines must be followed:

- Nightmare form must be removed.
- You cannot use the group's lore in any way, so you must change the character's background story if they have any ties to it.
- Markings must be removed. 
- The horn design must be different or removed completely. 
- You must still note the group after you have finished your non-Warpa design so that we can approve it. This is to make sure that all guidelines have been followed.

If you are thinking about retiring a design, please note the group or DM me (Mama-choco) through discord. Be sure to have the Masterlist file of the design that you want to retire on hand, since I will be asking for it!



[ MYO slot rules ]


Cannot resell MYO slots that are obtained in group events/activities. But you can trade/gift them.

 Cannot transfer MYO slots that are obtained in free MYO events.  

MYOs given to mods cannot be sold, only traded or gifted.

 MYO slots obtained in free MYO events will automatically become void after the due date written in each event if you fail to design it on time. 

 Cannot resell a slot for more than what you bought it for. (Tier 3 slots purchased before April 10, 2019 are valued at $8 USD)

 Once you buy a MYO, you are required to register it in the MYO Slot Tracker journal. 




[ Adoptable rules ]


There is a 1 week cooldown before you can trade/resell your Warpa! Either if its created by you through a MYO, or if you bought it from me or other guest artists.

- Designs created in FREE MYO events can only be traded or gifted if they do not have commissioned art. If the character has art that YOU have payed for, then you can sell it for the price of the commissioned art BUT you must provide proof of purchase. Otherwise you can only trade it/ gift it. 

- Warpa adopts cannot be used for commercial use, personal only.

- If you trade / gift / resell them, do not forget to follow the steps in the Ownership change tracker journal.

- You may not resell Warpa adopts for more than you initially paid, unless they have more art. If the adoptable comes with extra art, that art does NOT count towards the selling price!! As you got it for free.

- You may NOT change the species of an official Warpa adopt!!



[ NFSW Content ]



- Please only post mature content in the group/discord if you are over the age of 18. If we find out you are underage and you are submitting NFSW into the group, your pieces will be removed and you will be given a warning. Failure to follow this rule will result in a temporary ban from the group. If the problem keeps going after that, you will be blacklisted and removed from the species. *Gore and other things along those lines are acceptable as long as they are not sexual.* 

- Please refrain from using sexual talk or from starting sexual conversations in the discord if you are a minor. If you are over the age of 18 and wish to discuss anything suggestive, please use the NFSW chatroom. If you are a minor and you fail to follow this rule after your warning, you will be banned from the discord.

- Please use the mature filter if you think your drawing/writing needs it. 

- If you just turn 18 but were known as a minor before, you are free to note the group to let us know so that we are aware. 

- If you are ever unsure if a drawing/written piece is NFSW or not, you are always welcomed to note the group or contact us through the discord. 





[ Re-Designing your Warpa ]


If you no longer like the design of your Warpa and wish to re-design them, then you have these options:


1. If you wish to redesign an existing Warpa, the DC store provides items that allow you to change your Warpa's eye color, markings, skin tone, etc. You can purchase those items with points/money OR use the group's currency, which you can obtain by participating in events, doing some of the prompts, or by offering simple commissions for DC. For more ways to gain DC, please read the information in the 'Currency' journal and the 'DC Bank' journal. These items are typically cheap, so you can obtain them rather easily and some of them can also be obtained during events.  If you use these items, please note the group so that we can approve of your changes.

Edits that you do not need to turn in for approval: Outfits, hairstyles (including hair color), or accessories.


2. If you obtain a Warpa through adoption (Including trades, raffles and DTAs), you automatically have a small redesign option. THIS DOES NOT mean that you can change the character completely. But lets say the adoptable has markings that are too difficult to draw, or a certain color of eyes that you do not like. Though changing the looks of the nightmare form or humanoid is not allowed, only the cosmetics. This is only a 1 time thing, and once you draw your character with these changes, you will need to apply option #1 if you wish to change other things in the future. 


3. Your Warpa also gains a slight re-design every time you upgrade them to a new tier. Since upgrading them means they become stronger, Warpas can 'evolve', gaining new features. When it comes to this re-design, you are free to ADD features like additional horns, additional markings or more eyes. You can even change the animal of their nightmare form since Warpas can also morph into an animal that belongs to a higher tier!! But you CANNOT change the colors of the design, humanoid looks, horn design or the marking design. So again, you can add things, but you cannot change them. For example, if you are planning to change their nightmare form, you can only change the animal type, but the horns, markings and colors stay the same.

4. Lastly, you can keep an eye out for this item called [ Restoration Water ]  which allows you to redesign your Warpa without limits. It can only be obtained through specific events! Note: This does NOT mean you are allowed to create a completely new character to replace the old one. The Warpa's humanoid form MUST still be recognizable, even if you change the nightmare form. But things such as colors, markings, and horns can be altered as much as you want. THIS ITEM CANNOT BE SOLD. You may only trade it or gift it.


Any re-design or changes you do to your Warpa must be approved by the group!!
