DISCLAIMER! A Mothcats.com account is required to participate in the Mothcats ARPG. In addition, all participants automatically agree to the Species Terms and Conditions. Cheating and failure to comply with these terms will result in an automatic ban from the ARPG.
This page is under construction! Any information here is not ready for use and subject to change.

In general, unless stated, the royal "Mothcat" is used in this guide- this guide also applies to subspecies.

Salon Limits

In general, regardless of the nature of the salon, a Mothcat must remain recognizable to the original design. These rules apply to both Self Service and OA Salons- if a user is suspected to be trying to alternate between salons to get around limits, service may be denied.

Themed Designs

A "themed" Mothcat is any Mothcat with a design name provided above the artist credits in Mothchive. This generally includes Official and Guest designs, but some older MYO Mothcats may also have themes. If the theme is not in Mothchive, the cat is not considered "themed", even if a theme was provided.

A "themed" Mothcat must remain that theme- the interpretation of the theme may change, but it cannot be removed. As such, major design overhauls may be permitted if it clearly shows the spirit of the theme, but minor changes may be rejected if they're removing the theme.

Design elements of a "themed" Mothcat may still be considered in the case of particularly extreme salons- some design elements should still be kept.

Unthemed Designs/Design Only

"Unthemed" Mothcats are generally MYO Mothcats, who have no design name above their designer credits in Mothchive. Even if a theme is provided on MYO use, if it is not seen in Mothchive, the Mothcat is considered "unthemed" for salon purposes.

An "unthemed" Mothcat must remain visibly recognizable to their original design. In the case of multiple salons, the first design of the Mothcat is used to judge recognizablility. However, the perceived theme of the Mothcat may be changed freely, as long as the design remains recognizable.

Factors considered include colorschemes, markings and traits.

Self Service Specific Information

Methods and Techniques

Pre-Existing Markings

All pre-existing markings can be recolored with dyes without needing extra items. Markings can be removed by coloring them with the same color as the surrounding fur. Removed markings cannot be restored without the use of a Marking Primer!

New Markings

New markings can be added to Mothcats using Marking Primer, in addition to any required dyes for colors.

Gradients

Regular dyes only offer "flat" and "solid" recolors. To add gradients, an Essence of Rainbow must be used.

Trait Changes

Any trait change requires the use of the appropriate level of Trait Change Ticket (TCs), whether this be to swap traits within a rarity level, or to increase the rarity level of a trait.

In the specific case of subbreed Mothcats, Common TCs may be used to add up to a maximum of two breed-specific traits to that cat. Any breed-specific traits beyond two requires an Exclusive TC.

If a Self Service Salon is used to apply a TC to a cat and nothing else, or any other changes qualify as minor, the 1SFT fee is not charged.

There is no hard limit to TC use, but trait changing will be considered in determining if a design is recognizable.

Eyes

Eyes can be dyed by using Eye Primer along with a normal or egg dye. Egg dye is used when only the eye color is being changed, or if the new eye color is not otherwise being applied to the cat. Otherwise, the eyes are considered part of the cat's "area" for determining how many regular dye bottles are needed.

One Eye Primer changes one color in the eyes- it cannot be used to add more colors. More eye colors can only be added through trait changes (such as heterochromia for more iris colors, or colored scelra for the sclera).

Essences/Eggsences may not be used with Eye Primers- only "flat" colored dyes may be used.

Appraisals

Self Service Appraisals may be requested for:

  • Cats you own, with no restriction
  • Cats you don't own, but are either up for public trade or you are in private talks for, with the conditions of:
    • You must be able to provide proof of the (potential) trade at staff request
    • If the appraisal is being submitted publicly, it must have the permission of the current owner attached. (You are also welcome to privately note staff about trade appraisals.)
    • Users suspected of using this system to harass other members may be warned at staff discretion.

Design Reversions

In cases where you are reverting to the exact previous design of a cat, you may request to use the previous art of the cat, if applicable.

  • Previous designs/art are available on the cat's chive page.
  • Please use the desired art as your "new" base, and make it clear you're intending to switch back to that design.
  • Staff may choose to deny art reversion requests, in the case of extreme ongoing issues or extenuating circumstances.

Official Artist (OA) Specific Information

As previously mentioned, OA Salons are still subject to the Salon Limits. OAs will turn down any salons they feel are too extreme.

While subspecies can have OA salons, OAs may decide on a case by case basis if they are willing to do a specific subspecies.
