Umin are small (about the size of a house cat) but resilient aliens that are often found wandering throughout space. They are sustained by a magic crystal known as a kor from Namu, their home planet, that they must consume in their youth; it is the only thing they consume in their lives. The kor's color and nature determines what color their underbelly becomes and what magic they are capable of.

I have a section of my server dedicated to miscellaneous species, including umin. Feel free to hop in if you'd like! The way my server is set up is so that you can pick roles to show/hide the parts of the server you want to engage with. There is also a permanent suggestion box set up in my server if you'd like to make any suggestions/requests. However, the rarer ones may take longer as I want to make batches with fairly balanced numbers (i.e. mostly standard, some unusual, a few rare, maybe one anomalous).

The Masterlist (ML) is a record of all official Umin. You can see the Masterlist in Google Sheets here as well. 

Auspice's general terms of service apply. 

Please do not claim the species as your own, and do not create "off-brand" characters with extreme similarities to the species without actually being one.

As umin are a closed species, you may not design your own unless there is a MYO event or if you have a MYO ticket. You may create non-commercial content of your umin including art, writing, videos, plushies, etc. However, you must credit me as the creator of the species for any work shared publicly/with others.

Toyhouse Profile: Once a TH profile for an umin is made, it will count as "official." I must be credited as the creator. If it was a MYO umin you designed yourself, add yourself as a designer. Do not delete the profile; it must be used for any transfers. Do not edit or delete any official reference images, but you can put them in separate tabs.

Commissions: You may do commissions or commission others for work of your umin, but you may not sell physical merchandise without express permission from me. Any one-off physical goods for yourself are fine - if you are getting a print or merch that uses art not made by you, make sure to get the permission of the creator first.

Transfers: You may gift, trade or resell an umin for no more than the original price + commission/paid work. You do not need to notify Auspice, but the transfer must be made using a profile on Toyhouse. If you or the recipient does not have a Toyhouse account, the umin cannot be transferred—but you may ask Auspice if you wish to have a TH invite. The recipient has the choice of keeping the redesign if the umin has one, in which case no notification is necessary, or reverting the umin to the original form.

Porting OCs: An umin can be used as an "AU" (alternate universe) of an existing OC. However, umin cannot be used as alternate forms or a shapeshift of an existing OC, as that would muddle the lore. A shapeshifter may temporarily take on an umin-like shape, but they would not actually be an umin.

Voiding: "Voiding" in this context refers to removing a character from the world so that they can be used freely in any other context. It is not permitted. Note that "alternate universes" of a character are allowed.

Lore Inspiration and Plagiarism

In general, please try not to plagiarize the lore. While taking inspiration cannot realistically be stopped, it does make me (Auspice) uncomfortable if elements of the lore are taken directly. If people want to use my lore, I'd want them to join the world I put in the effort to make it for. I spend a considerable amount of time contemplating and organizing my lore for the sake of allowing others to participate in it, so I ask that you do so on my terms.

Please see details in Auspice's general ToS. 

If you are the owner of a public species (CS, semi-open species, etc.), then you can contact Auspice about creating a hybrid species. We may need to discuss how their traits/characteristics can merge with each other and potentially create lore and design guidelines. 

Notes: 

• Unless otherwise specified, hybrids are able to be used in species activities of both species involved.

• Creation will generally require slots or items from both species as well as permission from Auspice and the owner of the other species. Permission from Auspice is more likely to be given if you are active in the umin species and/or own non-hybrid umin.
