Faunids - Site News :: The Season of Corruption [EVENT]

The Season of Corruption [EVENT]

Posted 2 days ago :: Last edited 2 days ago by MUTT

Welcome to the month of Corruption.

All Faunids are created in Herne's vision; they are pure and kindhearted beings. However, a subgroup of Faunids have sought to disrupt the restrictions set by their community. Violence and disharmony are rampant in the community labeled as "corrupt.”

Leading this godless cult is Fenris. He is a formidable demi-god who is known for acts of depravity. His speeches and velvety voice travel easily through the chilled air for anyone- living or dead, to hear. Spirits of Faunids have heard his summons and rather than wait to be reborn as a Fawn, they wish to taint the purity of a living Faunid and live through their host through possession.

Are you willing to aid a vengeful spirit?

Starting September 14 and through to October 12, you will have the ability to create a Corrupted Faunid of your very own, or allow Corruption to take hold in one of your own existing Faunids. This event hub is where you will find all links and guides to participate in this event. All Corruptions are done on our official Corruption bases, with adjustments per each design.

Learn more about Corruption in the Faunids world here.

Event Guidelines

All Corrupted Faunids are relatively de-saturated with only one or two brighter/saturated colors.

2 Corruptions/Re-Corruptions are allowed per user per event.
OR
1 Corrupt semi-custom and 1 Corruption/Re-Corruption per user per event.

Each semi-MYO may have a maximum of:
4 non-corrupt traits
3 corrupt traits (1 minimum)
For a total of 7 traits.

Each corruption of an EXISTING non-corrupt Faunid may have a maximum of 5 additional traits (At least one corrupt trait required).
You are allowed to age a Fawn using corruption. You may put a Faunid through further corruption and submit an existing Corrupted Faunid.

If corrupting/re-corrupting an EXISTING Faunid or Corrupted, traits from this event will be ADDED to the faun's current traits/edits.
Re-corruption may occur on the existing design or be redone based on complexity.

You don't have to specifically name traits in the form you want if you don't know them or care! Artists will work off of your used tokens.

You may re-roll a finished Corrupt similarly to how Fawning re-rolls work. Additional payment of base price and a new inspiration form submission are required.

Some of our artists require payment in Euros, not USD due to conversion rates making USD worth less than the EURO. Please keep in mind your artist's conversion rates, as they will be charging €50 base price for Corrupts.

Design Rules

You may corrupt a Merfaun (or a Hybrid Merfaun), though additional complexity fees may apply. Minodae are NOT eligible for Corruption this year.

It is generally discouraged to draw an exact idea of what you are wishing for with Semi-custom Corrupts. This can really limit our artists and we cannot copy what you provide for us.

Sometimes, you can use multiple tokens together in order to get more unique traits. You can view a list of all confirmed combinations HERE.

Users may NOT request and Official Artists may NOT draw religious symbols or runes from existing human cultures (such as Nordic runes, crosses, pentagrams, etc.) on Corrupts, but may include or create new Faunid Runes. Users may include concepts of Faunid Sigils to include on their Corrupts, or request that their Corrupt has sigils/runes in some way on their body. Runes and Sigils are very flexible in their use and there is not really a 'wrong' way to combine them into new constructions.

Examples of Runes Examples of Sigils

Users may request that a Faunid Sigil be made officially to represent their Corrupt as part of their form (which will be its own supplemental art given at the same time as that Corrupt's release). Creation of an official Sigil will include a $5 fee and is purely for fun. This is a purchasable token alongside all other tokens and does not cost a trait slot.

Step-By-Step Event Guide

STEP ONE: Receive your 6 free tokens from the Fenris Dispensary.

STEP TWO: If you want to work with the tokens you got, you can skip to STEP THREE. If you want any specific tokens, you'll need to:
1. Trade with other users. Trades may be conducted without needing moderator involvement, but please provide a note in the trade stating what was traded.
2. Obtain additional tokens from the Donation Shop (Users may pick up a maximum of one item per 24 hours, but may donate however many they would like).
3. Purchase Tokens directly. All standard tokens are $5, but Premium token prices vary. DO NOT purchase items through the shop on Atalav.

Token Price Guide Item Purchase Form

You will be sent an invoice for purchased items. Once this is paid, items will be added directly to user inventories.

STEP THREE: Fill out the Corrupt Creation form once you have obtained the tokens you want to use. Templates for both the semi-custom Corrupts and Corruption of existing Fauns are in that form. You can type your answers directly into the form, or you can link a Google Doc. Either way is fine.
Attach any items you are using to this form so they are removed from your inventory.

STEP FOUR: Wait for a moderator to approve your submission. Moderators will be carefully tracking forms so that Corrupts are added to artist queues in the order they are received. Once it is approved, look out for a message from the artist who takes your form for payment! Once your Corrupt is fully approved, it will be added to the official queue.

STEP FIVE: Wait for your Corrupt's release! Corrupts will be released at least one per artist at minimum every Saturday starting October 4th.
