How to make or obtain an Ikrouk
Outside of the comics world, Ikrouks are a semi-open species, meaning they are free for anyone to make, but you must follow a few steps first in order to make one yourself. There are a couple ways one may obtain an Ikrouk:
1) Through a free MYO (make-your-own)
2) Through auctions

MYOs
All residents of Etaliari may register two free Ikrouks into an already existing clan, or start one of their own, for free. These MYO Ikrouks will be free to make, but will be limited to Common Species and Common Traits. (See the Species page to see which species counts as Common, Uncommon, Rare or Very Rare.) |
To register your MYO Ikrouks, you may use this template!
Simply draw your Ikrouk in the proper space and fill in the information; your Ikrouk's ID will be given to you in the approval stage. Once your approval template is filled, send it on this journal, and your Ikrouk will be judged for approval. If it passes, it will be accepted in the Masterlist and be part of the game, if you need to make edits to your Ikrouk or your template you will be told by a mod.

Let us go through the template together to make sure you get all the right information in!
Name: This is where you put your Ikrouk's name. Remember that there are some guidelines that are encouraged to follow when naming an Ikrouk so it can fit in the universe of Bound Fates, but you are by no means restricted to following those guidelines and may give them any name you want. This name can be changed later, just note the group with your Ikrouk's ID and the new name for the change to be official.
Subspecies: This is where you put your Ikrouk's species name. For MYOs, you can only put in Ook, Lotlar, or Ssarh. If your Ikrouk is a hybrid between two of these subspecies, please write both names as such; Lotlar-Ssarh, Ook-Lotlar, Ssarh-Ook, etc.
Clan: This is where you put your Ikrouk's clan name. The clan name works as a family name, and is always part of how an Ikrouk presents itself to the world. If your Ikrouk is not part of a clan, please write "Nameless" in its place, and your Ikrouk will be referred to as "the Nameless" by others. When your Ikrouk becomes officially part of a clan, you may put in its name.
#ID: This is your Ikrouk's official ID. It will be given to you by a mod during the approval process of your Ikrouk. It will be used in the game's archive to identify your Ikrouk, so be sure to add it to the template once you receive it!
Traits: This is the list of all the traits your Ikrouk currently has, or was born with. For MYOs, remember that you can only apply common traits to your MYO Ikrouk! The common traits are marked as blue in the Traits page.
And finally, on the right section of the template, this is where you will put your Ikrouk design. You may draw it yourself or ask another artist to draw it for you, but the drawing must clearly show your Ikrouk and its traits, and must not be shaded.
You may make an adult Ikrouk, or a fledgling Ikrouk!
Have fun designing your Ikrouks, and welcome to Etaliari!

Auctions
Auctions will be held fairly often! These will give you a chance at a rare Ikrouk; rare breed, rare traits, maybe even an Ikrouk with a fancy title in a big clan! (Please note that auctions are not free raffles, so these auctions will be paid. Treat them like a fancy, rare design auction!)

Auctioned Ikrouks will be made by myself, Celestia, as well as various guest artists participating in the group. All Wandering Nameless Ikrouks will be reworked into Auctioned Ikrouks, so auctions will have all sorts of designs to pick from, from common to uncommon to rare!
