5.0 Adoption of a Cloakat/Companion

5.1 Adoption

Cloakats are a closed species created by Clarrisa (https://clarrisawoods.carrd.co/). 
A Closed Species means, you cannot create your own without permission. There are certain ways how you can obtain a Cloakat, however! Cloakats created without approval are not allowed in any official Cloakat-related activities. Ignoring our rules and creating Cloakats or close designs may result in a ban and an entry into our blacklist.
Cloakat adoptables are officially sold on Cloakat.com DeviantArt, Toyhou.se, and our Discord. Make sure to check the previous links to ensure the seller is official or has been approved to sell/resell the Cloakat you are viewing.

  • You can get a Cloakat via:
    Auctions, Customs, Events, Flat-sales, Gifts, MYO’s, and Trades.
  • You own a Cloakat after payment is received by the approved seller of the Cloakat.
  • When purchasing a Cloakat, you have the right to the design in question, but do not own the rights to the species itself.
  • Once purchased the new owner of certain Cloakat directly agrees to the TOS. You may change its background information as you please. You can edit the physical features of the Cloakats through special shops and tickets sold on Cloakat.com. There is a stipulation to this as each entry has rules by their respective artists allowing the new owner to lightly or heavily edit this information. Pelase check the DESCRIPTION of your entry to see which of the two are allowed when adjusting your adopts physical qualities.
  • Failure to abide by the TOS may lead to a strike or a ban of your Cloakat and your username + aliases. Please be sure to read carefully as excess issues/strikes can lead to a permanent ban on you and your currently owned Cloakat(s).

You may NOT:

  • Claim the design as your own unless you have made it through a MYO ticket.
  • Claim the Cloakat species as your own.
  • Use a Cloakat for Commercial Use of any kind.
  • Make copies of a Cloakat and resell them.
  • Recreate a Cloakat adopts likeness in another species without asking the artist of the design first if they are okay with this. Credit the artist for its design if you have approval to recreate its design in another species.
  • Trace Cloakat designs, steal the designs, or heavily reference their designs.

 

6. Approving Ownership

All Cloakats and pets are registered to the masterlist: 

  • Cloakat-Masterlist (Cloakat.com, Toyhou.se and DeviantArt ).
  • To register a Cloakat, you have to follow the format stated here: How To Submit A MYO
  • To complete the submission, you will then submit it on the Cloakat.com website with a MYO item. Ask a mod to help with this step if needed.Once its been approved and appears on the site masterlist, it will then be official.
  • Joint-owned Cloakats is allowed. The person who purchases the Cloakat will be the main owner. You may allow yourself to do this with another person and “share” the character.
  • The Cloakat.com website is the first to be updated of the 3 mentioned locations above, and updates stagger to be longer per each link provided. 
  • Information most up to date and accurate will be on the Cloakat.com website.
  • Cloakats may only be sold for what they were purchased for, plus any additional art you have paid for in addition to its base price.
  • You are required to have a Cloakat.com profile to own a Cloakat as it is the most convenient for the Cloakat Team to handle trades and transfers of characters this way. 
  • You do not need to be active on the site to keep your Cloakat.
  • All information stated above applies to any species under the Cloakat species name.



7. Design Rules & Rights

Inspiration from characters:

You are more than allowed to use a MYO to create a species design, however, you cannot create a 1|1 recreation of an IP character. The character in question can be INSPIRED, but not PASTED into the species. Failure to follow this correctly could result in a wipe of your slot at the species owners discretion.
This is to keep the Cloakat Closed Species safe from legal troubles. Failure to do so or if you are found out later to have stolen a design will result in a “character wipe”. This means your Cloakat will be banned and deleted, making the slot a blank slot you will have to reuse for a new design.



7.1 Customs

Only Administrators and Official Artists of the Discord server are allowed to take custom commission requests unless stated otherwise.

(Check the moderation team on the Discord server to verify who is allowed to do so).

  • Order a custom Cloakat by DMing the relevant artist you want a custom with.
  • Custom information and pricing can be found  here: MYO and Custom Pricing
  • Prices are subject to change
  • Customs are allowed to be your own character as a Cloakat so long as the original character the Cloakat recreation design is based after is not copyrighted or a closed species owned by another individual.
  • If it is from another Closed Species specifically, we will require you to provide permission from the artist or the owner of the species if we are to make a similar custom as to not break other Artist of Closed Species’s TOS.
  • Mimicking copyrighted designs is strictly forbidden. Only distantly inspired designs may be approved.
  • Tickets are always open for purchase via legal tender.
  • OFFICIAL ARTISTS keep 80% of the profit while 20% goes to the Species Owner to maintain the website.
  • Official Artists have permission to create customs for members if that so choose.
  • Guest Artists are forbidden from creating custom commissions.

 

7.2 MYO

MYO: Make Your Own

MYO tickets can be purchased with USD currency, DeviantArt Points, or our Species Currency.
You also have a chance to earn or win them in events, or in the rare chance that there is a FREE MYO event going on. 

  • Purchase a MYO Ticket by contacting the owner of the species via: Twitter or on Discord via the Species Server (Username: Clarrisa)
  • You can earn a MYO Ticket by drawing fan art or writing for others in the community. Furthermore, you can also purchase them through USD currency.
  • You can earn a MYO Ticket also just by drawing more art or writing more on your own personal characters and turning them into online prompts on the Cloakat.com website.
  • You can also earn MYO Tickets through saving up of the species’s digital currency which can be acquired on the Cloakat.com website for doing various small fun activities.

 

7.2.1 MYO Resale:

You may do the following:

  • You may resell purchased Cloakats and their companions in the same manner and value as you purchased them for. The value of the Cloakat can increase with more art being added to them.
  • If a Cloakat is gifted to you/given to you for free or is valued at a core $0. That means the Cloakat itself was not purchased and technically lacks value and cannot be sold for any currency. You can sell them for the price of art, trade them for other characters, or  regift them.
  • If you resell a MYO ticket, you may ONLY sell them for the amount they were purchased for at the time of purchase or lower. If a MYO ticket’s price changes, you may NOT change the value of your own ticket as fluctuation is bound to happen.
  • The worth of a Cloakat can go up with the price of commissions you put on them. This will mean you can sell them for their base price PLUS the commissions pricing you’ve contributed to the design.
  • MYO’s or Cloakats won in events have a $0 value, and cannot be sold. You are allowed to GIFT them to someone. You may also see the previous section 2 bullet points above on possible Cloakat value to calculate possible extra worth with the permission of a mod to sell them ONLY if the Cloakat has been given value from any of the mentioned points in the part immediately above.
  • Cloakats are not responsible for the way members execute a transaction.
  • Cloakats are not responsible for any theft or scamming in the community outside banning the offender accordingly.
  • Cloakats are not to be resold in an auction form for any reason.
  • Cloakats not to be resold for excessive amounts of “add-on’s” on top of their base price + additional worth via commission pieces.

 

7.3 Designing your MYO

Designing a Cloakat by use of a MYO Ticket:

  • You are not allowed to create a design that is based on copyrighted materials or characters.
  • Cloakats inspired by media cannot share the same name as of what inspires its design.
  • Cloakat designs CANNOT be of sexual nature.
  • Certain gore/guro/violent/edgy designs may need partly strict approval if they are deemed too heavy in gore-like appearance to be seen by possible minors.
  • Cloakats made to heavily resemble other Closed Species “signature anatomy” is strictly forbidden.
  • You cannot make a Cloakat to intentionally look like another Closed Species.
  • Any themes surrounding intense violence, homophobia, xenophobia, racism, or the like will be immediately rejected and warned accordingly to the depth of offence.
  • Do not make MYOs based on other preexisting Cloakats designs, unless you created them yourself with a separate MYO ticket.
  • Feel free to contact the owner of the species to purchase a MYO ticket to create your Cloakat with if USD purchase is wanted.
  • While designing your Cloakat, be sure to share the sketch and list of traits you plan to use in the discord channel via the SPECIES MYO CHECK channel to help guide you in the right direction.
  • A mod needs to approve your Cloakat during its sketch stage with a list of provided traits before continuing the approval process.
  • Please note that the cloak/shirt you put on your Cloakat is a permanent edition and cannot be removed as it is physically part of the Cloakat, outfits can be put OVER the cloak, but it cannot be removed or completely hidden.
  • When making your MYO, make sure it is a clear, generally NON-ACTION pose with a transparent background and no special effects (i.e snowflakes, sparkles, stars around canvas etc.)
  • All traits are locked in once the Cloakat is officially submitted to the Master List. These cannot be changed without using a potion or other various items obtainable from the Cloakat.com site to adjust anything further. So be sure things are correct when posting.
  • When selecting the powers of your Cloakat, only select traits that make sense for your Cloakat to have since they are generally socially thematical creatures. So, for instance, you cannot have an aquatic water skinned Cloakat with fire and earth powers. Or a Floral themed Cloakat with fire powers etc.
  • Please carefully read through each body-part's guidelines and the Traits Section when choosing your traits to know all do's and don'ts of making a Cloakat.
  • Unlike premades, which can have this option at the discretion of the artist making the adopt, you are always allowed to use "New Interest" tickets or “Moving Boxes” on your own MYO designs.
  • By purchasing a MYO ticket, you are agreeing to abide by the species rules and regulations, failure to do so may result in varied discipline ranging from denial of approval, to refund of ticket (where applicable), the masterlist slot in question possible being wiped to be redone, a possible void of the character in question, or further discipline accordingly.

 

7.4 Redesigning

  • You can redesign your Cloakat by use of a New Interest Potion. Which can be done by purchasing them with USD, Cloakat currency, or winning them in raffles.Other items may be necessary when redesigning one so please be sure to read up on MYO editing items descriptions to assure you understand the limits of these edits.
  • This ticket allows you to completely redesign your existing Cloakat so long as it not a very heavy redesign.
  • You will need additional items do to a heavy redesign. Refer to bullet 1’s link in this section for a link to items that might be needed.
  • The item referred to as “Moving Boxes” will allow one to void and rebuild a slots design completely, so long as the artist of the slot agrees to this.
  • Premade Cloakat's may not be compatible with New Interest Tickets as the artist of these adopts may not prefer them to be redesigned now wiped with a Moving Boxes item.
  • Please show all changes to a mod before you upload the redesigned Cloakat to the site. Changes without approval may result in a cancel of your request to redo something if needed. We do not want you to work very hard on something that might not be approved for whatever reason!

 

7.5 Voiding a Cloakat

Voiding out a Cloakat is when you’d like to leave the community and/or want to delete the design of your Cloakat permanently. This way the Cloakat cannot be resold/traded/gifted ever again. This is useful for those with a very deep bond/personal attachment to their cloakat. This is most notable for those who make a Cloakat-sona.

  • Voiding can be done withthe use of the item called “Exile Ticket”.
  • Voiding is a permanent decision and also permanently deletes the number of the Cloakat along with it. (EX: If you void Cloakat #001, #001 cannot ever be cycled or used as a number again.)
  • Voided designs will stay visible in the masterlist but marked as “VOID” and cannot be used, drawn, or sold ever again.
  • Cloakats that are voided cannot be remade/inspired into a new design via MYO or custom request.
  • Voiding a Cloakat also means one will also have to redesign the character to at least not look like a Cloakat. This is to avoid confusion of members who are still in the community once the Cloakat is no longer a part of the community.
  • When “redesigning” a character no longer associated with Cloakats, the most present things requested to adjust would be the arm length, claws, adding eyes, or adjusting the anatomical shape of the tail.
  • Information relative here is also present in all associated items used to void your character so it by using these items or requesting a void or slot wipe, you are agreeing to this section of the TOS’s rules present both on the item and on this document.
  • Voiding a design made by you does not need permission by anyone else. Voiding a design by another artist requires permission or else the void will be denied.
  • All information here also includes any other species under the Cloakat Species name.

 

Options to consider before possibly voiding Cloakat:

  • You may gift your Cloakat to someone in the community or someone you trust.
  • You may “Put up for adoption” which means you’re giving the Cloakat back to the owner for free so they can use your Cloakat as a raffle or gift to another community member, their value and all current art will be reduced to $0.
  • You can consider selling it for the same price you purchase it for or for the base value + art value on top.
  • You can consider voiding your character with “Moving Boxes” instead of “Exile Ticket” as this could also allow you to resell or trade the slot if you would like to have something nice on your way out for the slot it was previously in.

 

7.6 Selling of Cloakat Content

  • You can sell YCH drawings as well as take YCH commissions and you keep the full profit.
  • You can offer as well as take commissions to draw preexisting Cloakats while you keep the full profit.
  • You can create a pay-to-use base and/or free-to-use base and keep the full profit.
  • You can take part in the community in the form of the discord community, events, websites, etc.

10.2 Warnings and Blacklisting:

There are multiple ways one can be backlisted from the community:
Some points listed can result in a strike while others are a permanent ban or blacklisting. 3 strikes makes a ban. Here are some reasons one might get into trouble:

  • Very obvious off-branding (Inform the creator of the Cloakat species if you observe this, do not under any circumstance, harass the person off branding a Cloakat.)
  • Being rude/obnoxious towards other members
  • General harassment results in a strike
  • Racist actions/language results in a ban.
  • Sexist actions/language results in a ban.
  • Homophobic actions/language result in a ban.
  • Ablist actions/language results in a ban.
  • Harassing someone for winning or buying an adopt results in a strike.
  • Scamming others is subject to be either a strike or ban depending on severity
  • Ignoring the TOS. after receiving a warning about them.
  • Auctions:
    -Taking part in auctions but do not have the money results in a strike.
    -No answer after 2 days of winning an auction results in a strike.
    -Dropping out of an auction while being the highest bidder results in a strike.
  • Requesting the purchase of a flatsale adopt and backing out or ghosting the artist of the adopt numerous times. If you do not have means of currency, please do not string along artists. It is very rude.
  • Purposefully causing issues/instigating results in a strike.
  • Using a secondary account or more ti “siphon” more items and currency to your main account via the Cloakat.com website.
  • Being Banned from the website also means you will forfeit all items and species currency you have on the account in question. Compensation will not be permitted. You are still allowed to trade or sell your applicable Cloakat character post-banning UNLESS they have been voided via Exile Ticket or Moving Boxes item.

Blacklisting is irreversible. You are still allowed to resell your Cloakat, but you are not allowed to take part in any events/activities anymore. Blacklisting is used for protecting the community.

If strikes, banning, or blacklisting is caused by a misunderstanding, we are happy to talk it out and reverse the strike/ban/blacklist with viable proof or understanding of whatever happened. Feel free to talk with the owner of the species if you feel you have been “done wrong”, but please do not use this as a gateway to drive home your point rudely. Please take time to think overthings properly before interacting with the species again to sort things out as to not be emotionally charged when doing so.
