CLOSED: Tantalizing Traits

Start: 10th of February
End: 10th of March

The contest is now closed! Going through all trait ideas and deciding which ones will be feasible is going to take a bit, so please stay tuned for results... :)

Realms Away offers many seasonal traits that work on all species, and some smaller ones that are specific to some. However, for future content, we would like to have at least one Extraordinary trait that is species specific for each of them! With how many species there are, and the restrictions for species specific traits, coming up with good traits is not always easy...which is why we'd like to tap into your creativity to help us out!

How to Enter

• Pick one (or more) species you like, and design an extraordinary trait for them, following the guidelines below!
• The design can be sketchy, uncolored, it doesn't matter as long as it gets your idea across!
• Upload your design to sta.sh or another web host that is not public (so we don't spoil unwilling folks, but you are free to share ideas in the spoiler channel on discord!)
• Submit your idea(s) to the Tantalizing Traits Prompt in order to earn a guaranteed reward!
• Be aware that the design will be used either as is or with some changes on this site if you win. By joining, you declare that you are okay with this usage!
• Should you win, you will be credited for the creation of the trait on the trait's info, like so.
• Done!

Trait Design Guidelines

• Unlike seasonal traits, these traits are specific to one species. As such, they should not be something that can generically fit on any species, but should use a feature of the chosen species and add a twist to it!
• This can mean adding new/multiple limbs, or changing the shape of one such thing 
• Ideally, they do not make one species look too much like another (e.g. adding bat wings to faun, making them look like Baphomets)
• Ideally, they do not resemble a transformation (e.g. making a centaur form for dragons)
• When designing, make sure your idea isn't conflicting with any existing trait!
• You can also look at the existing species specific traits to get an idea on how they work.
• A great example is the Scalloped Ears lopilu trait, that while not yet released was designed by xXAuraTaurusXx!
• Species least in need of specific traits: Lopilu, Gleamstic, Beastling (as they already have extraordinary traits)
• Species most in need of specific traits: Dragons, Equos, Faun, Serpent
• No traits for humans are needed, they are just humans.

Prizes

There is going to be no guaranteed winner due to the nature of this contest, but there may also be multiple winners! It all depends on the entries and how well they fit into Realms Away. To make up for this, any entry gets guaranteed rewards!

Every valid entry to the contest, regardless of whether it wins or not, can complete the Tantalizing Traits Prompt to earn 50 and a Seasonal Surprise Gift! This gift grants you a random seasonal trait out of those that are currently released.

If your idea is a winner, you will also get the trait item for free once it is released on site! Please bear in mind that this will likely take a while though.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on discord or comment on the related news post!
