Grubkits - The Citizens of Oddity

Grubkits are soft, squishy bodied aliens typically regarded as "cute" by other lifeforms.

These creatures are an artificial species built with resilience in mind - their DNA is a mishmash sourced primarily from the planet Earth of the Milky Way. Arthropod DNA is a significant ingredient. This DNA contributed many useful survival features, like the ability to develop hard exoskeletal armor and natural poison.

Leg Counts

All Grubkits have at least 10 limbs, counting arms, legs, and legs on the tail.
Leggy and Handy variants are common.
Having any more than 10 limbs up to a max of 20 is Multi-Terrain and uncommon.

Mutations

Genetic coding is more of an art than a science, at least in the eyes of The Inventors. Their idea for fixing would-be fatal flaws in the Grubkit's DNA structure was to patch it with whatever would fit - making for some... interesting results.
Grubkits can have up to five mutations before their DNA becomes too unstable.

Their World

This is Oddity. The planet is verdant and thriving now; but at one point this was a desolate, toxic wasteland. Look closely, you'll see the scars of it's dark past.

Plum, Golf & Halo

Are the three moons orbiting Oddity.Plum Is colored purple from its high Space Crystal content, and shines brilliant purple in the sky. This moon and the planet itself are the only two places the unique purple gems are known to exist.Golf Looks comically similar to an Earthling golf ball, hence the name! It appears to glow in the night sky but actually it's reflecting light from the sun, similar to Earth's moon. The low gravity makes it a popular vacation spot; just don’t forget your oxygen helmet!Halo With its luminescent glow and two reflective rings spinning round and round, this moon is stunning. Its the most eye-catching of the three. Halo is made entirely of toxic garbage, which once covered Oddity's surface before the Great Cleanup. The rings are stabilizers that keep it solid and orbiting the planet.

General Etiquette

Our community is LGBT+ safe. Minimum age requirment is 13. We would rate it "T" for Teen. Content you may see within our spaces - including our Discord server, ToyHouse world, and DeviantArt group - include: users cursing without malicious intent & some cartoon depictions of blood/violence. You will NOT see users using slurs, lgbt-phobia, racism, ableism, explicit content, or blood/violence any worse than you might see in a teen's cartoon.Sexual content is not permitted to be posted anywhere in our community; the Grubkits are asexual creatures that do not possess any genitalia. This is both part of our lore and for the safety of our younger audience.

General Etiquette

Grubkits are a Closed Species and cannot be created without explicit permission from Millipedemotel. Offical Grubkits can only be obtained through MYOs earned from events & quests, or by purchasing an official premade design.Unofficial designs will not be honored & are not permitted to participate in our community. The Grubkits & Planet Oddity are a passion project several years in the making; please, be respectful.
-
When you obtain a MYO or an adopt you are obtaining a partial right to the intellectual property.
-
You are not permitted to use any designs or any other content of the Grubkits Species or Oddity Planet World commercially - you cannot sell mas produced merchandise with a Grubkit's likeness or likeness of their world. Merchandise made for personal use only is acceptable. Limited-run & handmade merchandise for sale only within our community can be discussed with the owner Millipedemotel.

You are not permitted to give ownership of an Official Grubkit to Blacklisted users. If you are Blacklisted you are barred from participating in our communtity in any way, your Treasury will be voided and your MYOs will be deleted with no reimbursement of any worth, and any designs you own are automatically LIS (aka Voided). Blacklisted users are listed below.B L A C K L I S T

"Make Your Own" aka MYO

MYO slots can only be obtained via purchase from the community's official Storefront, or won in events/quests.All Official MYO slots are added to the Masterlist as a blank entry when they are obtained. If you should have a MYO slot but it isn't on the Masterlist, please contact the species owner millipedemotel.
-
When you design your MYO be sure to use the traits available within it's rarity, unless you have items in your Treasury that allow rarer traits.If you do not use your MYOs highest rarity when designing it, the extra rarity will be lost. This goes for mutations on the MYO as well.Grubkits can have up to 5 Mutations. You can apply mutations if you have the item required to do so or if it already has a Mutation LV. The LV number is how many mutations it can have.
-
You may commission an artist to design it for you and the worth of the design can be applied to the MYO as long as the worth is reasonable. Be sure to follow the artist's TOS as well as the species TOS when having your MYO designed for you.
-
When designing your MYO be sure it is created with at least 1 clear fullbody visual with a transparent background, this will be used as their Masterlist Entry image.
-
Unused MYOs can be sold for their listed worth, this value cannot be adjusted.
MYOs can be traded or gifted but will lose all value.
MYO slots cannot be reused.
MYOs should not bear heavy resemblance to any copyrighted characters.
You are permitted to use a MYO slot to make a Grubkit character resembling another OC that you also designed - but should the original design ever leave your ownership the new owner will automatically receive the Grubkit version as well. You cannot keep one if you sell the other, they are attached.

"Adoptables" aka Premade Designs

Adoptables can only be distributed with explicit permission from Millipedemotel.
Users can apply for Guest Designer permissions to create limited runs of Official Grubkit adoptables for a limited amount of time. For information about applying to become a Guest Designer, please join our Discord or contact Millipedemotel directly.
-
All Official Grubkits, including adoptables, will be posted to the Masterlist within hours of their designer posting them for sale. If a Grubkit Adoptable does not have a Masterlist Entry within 24 hours, it is NOT official.
-
You are not permitted to dictate your own rules to Grubkits that you did not originally design, only these TOS and the TOS of the original designer apply.

Special Event Designs

Special Event designs are Holiday or Charity designs that have special significance to our community. They are much beloved, and have special Terms that you agree to when you obtain them.
-
Special Event designs can be traded or gifted, and be sold and gain worth just like regular designs, but they can never be voided. They will always remain official. They can be removed from the ownership of a user and turned into NPCs if the owner is Blacklisted. If you no longer want to own a Special Event design, you can trade it to staff and it will become an NPC.

Selling and Trading + Transferring Ownership

The value of a Grubkit can vary vastly. Its Masterlist Entry will list it's original value and if it can be sold, or only traded/gifted. Grubkits obtained for free will always start with no value at all.
Most designs can have the value raised by purchasing or creating additional art - but only by a reasonable amount. We do not currently require their value appraised before selling, but this may change if any users are found to be abusing our trust. Do not raise a Grubkit's worth by an exorbitant amount just to sell it at a profit - we will find out. If you suspect a Grubkit design is selling for higher than it should actually be worth, please notify staff immidiately.
-
UPDATE THE MASTERLIST always notify a staff member as soon as a Grubkit goes to a new owner to ensure that the Official Masterlist is kept updated.
-
Likewise, always double check the Masterlist before buying or accepting a Grubkit in a trade. If someone is offering you a Grubkit from an account not listed as the owner, or if you are not fairly confident that it is the same person, contact staff immediately to have the legitimacy checked. The Masterlist exists to keep you safe.
-
CO-OWNERSHIP of a design is not officially recognized. You are free to say that you share the design with another user, but only one can be listed as the owner and only the owner can make any edits to the Masterlist Entry or use it to participate in events/quests. World of Oddity staff will not interfere in any disagreement between co-owners, we will always side with the listed official owner.
Beware co-owning with a user you do not trust.

LIS Grubkits - Voided & Blacklisted Designs

LIS Stands for Lost In Space and refers to a Grubkit which can no longer participate in the World Of Oddity and is no longer considered Official, either willingly voided by the designer or as a result of the legal owner being Blacklisted.
-
WILLINGLY VOIDING - When you willingly void a Grubkit we ask that you remove a physical trait that gives them their signature appearance - either changing the 6 antennae or removing/changing appearance of the tail legs. We don't mind similarities - but we don't want confusion. You can redesign the voided design as much as you want, at least within the TOS of the original designer, but you should keep an image of the original in case a new owner would like to Recover it.
MYOs can only be voided with proof of permission from the original designer.
Adoptables can only be voided with proof of permission from the original designer.
Special Event designs can never be voided, and will become NPCs if their owner is Blacklisted.
-
LIS Grubkits remain on the Masterlist but only as a grey silhouette, and the Entry will be changed to reflect their LIS status.
-
RECOVERING - Grubkits who have been Lost In Space can be recovered if their legal ownership changes hands to a user who is not Blacklisted and who wishes for the design to rejoin the World of Oddity. They can return to full community participation.
