RULES & LORE GUIDELINES
Interested in applying for your very own chupakri? Read on.
THE BASICS- Be excellent to one another. We are all adults and we all are here for fun. Drama-makers will not be tolerated.
- IC=IC, and OOC=OOC. Don't mix the two.
- Chupakri are a horror-themed species with an overarching plot focused on the long-term effects of abuse. If you are sensitive to the fictional representation of things which may inspire fear, shock or disgust, this is not the species for you.
- Where Chupakri are fundamentally horror themed, and do not discourage delving into dark story lines, please refrain from fetishizing and romanticizing serious topics such as pedophilia and incest.
- Characters MUST be 18 years or older. Players must be 21+.
- Because chupakri are a closed species, and not open to unapproved creation, players are not allowed to have their chupakri reproduce.
- Character theft and art theft will not be tolerated in this group. This includes tracing others' work, and non chupakri related areas, and art.
- You may not sell your chupakri as a chupakri. You may sell the design as a 'hybrid' (not the Caste, of course.) If you are considering selling a design that had been approved as a chupakri, we do request that you contact the admins in case we might want to buy it back. Elites designs cannot be sold at all.
- As this is a living, breathing community, rules and expectations may grow and shift over time as the need arises.
- Major violations of the rules can and will result in your right to use the chupakri lore being revoked and being asked to retcon your character to a hybridized creature without any connection to the Collective, the bloodlines, etc.
- As an (unofficial) off shoot of TGT we also follow their rules and standards. If you are unfamiliar, please acquaint yourself here:

APPLYING FOR A CHUPAKRI
Please keep STRENGTH OF CONCEPT in mind when applying for a chupakri.
--Chupakri are a species focused on the horror and trauma associated with being an artificially made, artificially categorized slave race. Designs that clearly miss the point will get skipped over.
--Chupakri are a malleable race and the sky is (almost) the limit when it comes to creating a unique chupakri. Submitted concepts are therefore expected to be unique Most members of the species have some kind of design quirk that makes them special and different. Come up with your own.
--Chupakri are already unique without the use of mythical creatures. Animals that don't exist in real life are not eligible for chupakri genomes.
--Chupakri may not be flat-faced, or otherwise have humanoid facial construction. They will always have a muzzle, even if it is a small one, and an elongated skull structure that is proportionally similar to that of most terrestrial vertebrates.
