I thought it'd be best to write these down before misconceptions happen (luckily they haven't, but preventing is always best!) This journal contains the basic rules for a MYO, what you can do with it, and what if you want to get rid of your Aigippus (goes for MYO and ones designed by me).

Make Your Own rules
- You can make an Aigippus as a character of your own, or as a gift to someone else.
- You can make one for FREE.
- You can NOT make adoptables/custom designs of them for points/money. Only people who have explicit permission from Vuurstern may make adoptables of them (see list below).

To get an Aigippus approved, draw the design and show it to Vuurstern. Then art of the character will be accepted into the group. Your design will be approved when:
- The rarity sheet has been respected: Aigippus rarities sheetUntil I manage to do the effort of drawing it out to make a visual sheet (/cries) I will just have this here for future reference.
You do not have to edit your existing Aigippus. If I approved it, it's fine already!

Must have
- Five hooved toes, of which three touch the ground
- Mane on the neck until middle of back, forelock
- Tail with a tuft of longer hair at the end, like a donkey's or zebra's
- Convex back (as opposed to actual horses!) highest point of back is in the middle
- Some sort of striping
- Natural colourscheme

Common (When making an Aigippus use these traits to your heart's desire)
- Even mix between the two types
- Stripes on the hindquarters
- Stripes on legs (unless covered by white markings)
- Dorsal stripe
- Eartip or -edge markings
- Dark skin colour (as seen on nose)
- All natural base colours
- Colour patterns like roan and dun
- White markings like piebald, sabino, overo etc.

Un

- The anatomy is correct ( see the species information sheet and these examples to understand their anatomy)
- The colours are realistic:
They can have any fur colour that is realistic for a mammal. If your colours look a bit too saturated or unnatural (for example, as orange as oranges, bright red or a bit too blue) I will ask you to tone them down a bit. They also shouldn't have 100 completely different colours in their fur.
- The markings are realistic: that basically means no heavily shaped (for example a butterfly- or music note-shaped) markings. Also, no heavily themed designs. It's fine to have a certain animal's looks in mind while designing your Aigippus, but keep it believable. Also, not every design has to be based on something!
- (Highly preferred) it has stripes on some part of the design. Striping is a key trait of Aigippus and they should have, at least, striping somewhere (even if it's vague). The most common place for this is the hindquarters. Striping also commonly occurs on the legs (unless there are white markings covering it), dorsal stripe, shoulder/neck and ear edges. No striping whatsoever is very rare and I'd prefer to keep those designs rare.

So you have an Aigippus. What can you do with it? And what not?
What you can do
- Make as many Aigippus as you want
- Make a free Aigippus for someone else
- Give your Aigippus away for free
- Trade your Aigippus (for other characters, art etc.)
- Sell your Aigippus character for a price you deem fitting

What you can NOT do
- Make Aigippus adoptables or custom designs for money/points unless you have explicit permission from Vuurstern
- Make an Aigippus with rare, very rare or impossible traits without permission
- use an unnatural Aigippus in the events

Also, if you want to get rid of your Aigippus, contact me (Vuurstern), I might be interested in taking it off your hands :)
I guess that's all I needed to say on this topic! In case you wonder why I set these rules, I don't want people to make profit out of my species, I find that rather rude. Of course, they aren't legally copyrighted, but I find it a matter of decent manners to respect the wishes of a species owner. As this is a relatively unknown open species, I don't really expect many people trying to scam others and all, but you never know. I'll also include a list with people who can make adoptables below here.
