fleshed out the design reversions w/ information as to what is required
=== Themed Designs ===
A "themed" character is any character with a theme name provided at the start of the description on the masterlist entry. This generally includes Official and Guest designs, but some older MYO characters may also have themes. ''If the theme is not in masterlist, the cat character is not considered "themed", even if a theme was provided on creation.''
A "themed" character 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.
====Eyes====
Eyes can be dyed by using [[Dye|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 catcharacter. Otherwise, the eyes are considered part of the catcharacter'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 sclera for the sclera).
Essences/Eggsences may not be used with Eye Primers- only "flat" colored dyes may be used.
** Users suspected of using this system to harass other members may be warned at staff discretion.
=== Design Reversions/Art Reversions ===In cases where you are reverting to the a character had previous ''exact previous designofficial, off-base Masterlist art'' of a character, you may request returning to use the previous this art of the character, if applicable.is acceptable:
* Previous designs/art are available on the character's masterlist entry.
* Please use the desired This only applies to ''official Masterlist'' 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.
In cases where you are reverting to the '''exact previous design''' of a character:
* This is considered a Self Service Salon.
* In your appraisal and design update, please use the desired art as your "new" base, and make it clear you're intending to switch back to that design and art.
* Items (like dyes and TCs) and FT are '''still required''', but you do not need to fill out the Masterlist base (the art fills that requirement).
