Throughout this expansive galaxy exists hundreds of species. Many of the most notable ones with the greatest political influence in our region of space have their own set lore and species page. However, there could be almost anything else out there, it's up to you to describe them!
What is a custom species?
A custom species simply describes a species that isn't one of the many premade species on the server. It can be almost anything that you want, within reason. Want to be a giraffe person? Go for it. A literal dragon? Absolutely. Some strange eldrich monstrosity that cocoons itself to change it's appearance at will? Absolutely (as long as it's capable of fitting in with a work place environment and can file it's taxes)! We want to encourage you to be creative and play the vorny alien that you've always wanted to.
Restrictions
There are only a few restrictions (besides the actual available pieces to make your sprite like you want it to), and we intentionally try not be limiting:
- Please make server appropriate characters, as per the rules. Specifically for custom species this includes:
- Don't give your custom species the name of a canon species from other media. For example, your species should not be "vaporeon". This does not mean that you can't make a character that looks like a pokemon, however, just give it a unique name.
- Make sure your species actually makes some amount of sense to be in an NT facility in the first place.
- Don't make a species that would break peoples preferences just by looking at it. So, don't go putting exposed penises all over it, I guess?
