The Jivvin Center is a free shop, but with this comes some stipulations. Firstly, it should be noted that Center Jivvins are no longer available through any means other than shop mandated events or breedings. These will include plot events, free raffles, spontaneous give-aways, and perhaps the occasional special auction. The application provided below does not apply to Center Jivvins.
It does, however, apply to the Wilds. Wild Jivvins are now available through an application process. Now, in theory, this is a simple process: Fill out the application below, post it in the Applications subforum in the guild, get approved, and play your new Jivvin. The difficulty comes in the 'Get approved' part. Moo and Keppit have gone to great lengths to create the world of the Wilds and the Village, and only characters who fit within this world will be approved. We will review all applications and ask for revisions where we feel necessary; as long as you comply with the revision requests, you character will undoubtedly be accepted eventually. We're no trying to exclude anyone, we just don't want the Village becoming a town of astronauts and emo flutterponies.
There are several things to keep in mind when applying for a Wild:
- Firstly, be sure to have read through the entire front page. Yes, I know it's a lot of content, but it's also relevant content. If your application doesn't reflect an understanding over Jivvins and their civilization, it will not be accepted.
- This form is only for adult Wilds. That is to say, a single stage. If you want one to grow from child so desperately, apply for the parents, have them breed, and raise the child. These adults, like all Wilds, will be in fourther form.
- Works-in-progress may be posted in the Application subforum of the guild. Feel free to ask for input on these from other thread-goers, or from Moo or Kep. We like seeing you interested and asking questions, rather than slapping something together and hoping it fits the criteria. When an application is ready for approval, please post a request for a review BOTH in the main thread and in the thread designated 'Approval Requests' in the guild.
- Aim for a unique character. Don't look at, say, Scion and go 'Wow, that's neat!' and copy it word for word. Make a character who you will enjoy. Please understand that 'unique' does not equal 'greater than sliced bread'. A character can be interesting and engaging without being Superman.
- You will not automatically receive art upon being approved. All newly approved Wilds must complete at least three RPs within a month of each other before they will be drawn. This serves the multiple purposes of letting Wegs and Kep get a further feel for the character, and verifying that the player is actually interested in more than pretty art. After three RPs have been completed, post again in the Approval Requests thread stating as much and with links to all three. We'll take it from there.
- You do not have any say in who your artist will be. Both Keppit and Wegs are extremely talented, and both can also be quite busy. Whoever is available will be called upon to do the art of the character. Breedings, however, will still be owner-choice.
It is also highly encouraged, but not required, for pre-existing Wilds to fill out these forms.
