Umin Prompts

You may complete these prompts to acquire kor ♦ to use in the umin shop for trait upgrades and MYO tickets.

Please submit to the species-submissions forum in the Discord server. You will need to provide a link to a public posting, whether on Deviantart, Toyhouse, Tumblr, Bluesky, Twitter, etc.

You may complete up to ten prompts in one month. There are not many prompts right now, but more may be added in the future. You are welcome to suggest new prompts in the #questions-suggestions-feedback channel of the server.

Notes:

If you do not currently own any umin, you may use someone else's umin and ignore the ownership requirements, or you can make an instance of the community trio to use as your own.
For art, you may depict your umin in their official design or their alt form. For those with shapeshifting magic, please only depict them in other shapeshifted forms if the prompt involves them using their magic, or otherwise ask Auspice.
For writing, you may write narrative prose, a synopsis/summary of events, or something with elements of both. For other types of writing, ask Auspice.
You can combine prompts (such as in a comic or long writing), so long as you independently meet requirements for each.

Magic

Depict your umin using their magic.

As a reminder, here is lore on umin magic:

Umin have one type of magic for each distinct belly color (rare gradient bellies count as two colors) and colored marking color. Their magic can be anything one can imagine, but typically one "aspect," such as fire magic, light magic, gravitational magic, shapeshifting, etc. There is no relation to the color whatsoever.

Specific magic notes:

Shapeshifters can take any color, shape, and size (as opposed to regular umin, who have an alt form with a number of restrictions.
While time, space, and gravity are related, you may only have major power in one with minor influence in the other two without taking another magic "slot."

Art requirements:

1 umin using their magic

The Shopkeep

Depict the umin NPC Ki'raki. You are welcome to take some liberties with their characterization.

Well, hello! How wonderful to meet you here. Perhaps it was fate? Or perhaps coincidence. Many call me the Shopkeep, and I can offer you much today...

Ki'raki is a generally whimsical individual, wandering the universes as they please. They watch the developments in the lives of other umin with the eyes of one reading a story, eager to know what happens next - though sometimes, they interfere as well. They generally have the best interests of others at heart when they do interfere, but most of the time, they are content to watch.

They prefer to speak telepathically, and their voice sounds different to all who hear it. They generally give off a welcoming aura, a presence that invites others to trust them and their whims.

Art requirements:

Ki'raki must be depicted
- If they are alone: fullbody if main design, partial body (~75% or more) if alt design
- If they are interacting with another umin, both can be: partial body (~75% or more) if main design, halfbody (50% or more) if alt design
Colored and shaded
Environmental background (scenic background with some foreground/background elements; does not need to be detailed, but setting should be clear — forest, cave, asteroid belt, etc.)
Optional: a written blurb providing information about the situation

Writing requirements:

800 words minimum

Reward: 3 kor
