The Wanderers

Every month, the group will be raffling off one slot to each of the above ketucari!

 There are no restrictions on the usage of these slots.

 Each slot also comes with a "built in" Sundisk of Nyssa, so that you may breed them with a male or female ketucari. They also do not require a litter guard.

 You may enter once per ketucari, but you may only win one Wanderer slot total for the month.

 Wanderers may be bred together if you happen to collect more than one slot over the course of a few months.

 Wanderers are guaranteed to pass on their new gene(s), regardless of rarity, to at least one cub in the litter in breedings they take part in during the first 6 months that they’re active. New genes will be guaranteed to drop through September.

How to Enter

 Simply create a piece that meets our minimum Group Submission Requirements showing one of your ketucari interacting with the Wanderer who's slot you would like to win!THESE PIECES MAY BE COMMISSIONED.  Collaborations are allowed, but in order to count for all involved parties, each must have a ketucari present in the piece. These pieces can double as any group activity but cannot be used in a second raffle here or in another group.

 Only one Wanderer may be included per piece (ie, you cannot depict all six in one piece and use it as an entry for all of them). However, if collaborating pieces, more than one Wanderer may be included at a rate of One Per Person. However each player may only use one piece to enter for one Wanderer.
-i.e. Players 1, 2 and 3 collab on a piece with Glaecalum, Sethyr, and L'grat. Player 1 can use the piece to enter for Glaecalum, Sethyr, or L'grat., but not all three. Player 2 can do the same, as well as Player 3.

 

Remember that until they're raffled off, Wanderers are group owned. R rated entries and entries that are found to be disrespectful to either the Wanderer or any real life person, collective group of people, or culture, can be refused and rejected. They're allowed to be portrayed as creepy, or as villains if you like, but they Must be portrayed with respect, if only for the sake of the future owners.

 

Entries cannot double-dip into multiple raffles unless stated otherwise. Noted exceptions are the Annual WaLoS Raffle, and the Annual Eros and Firn slot raffles. Any other Event Raffles are a "no" unless stated otherwise.
This includes the raffles and draw to adopts in other species.

This mostly applies to literature, as it's harder to have blatant disrespect in visual mediums. However, as a bit of a rubric for the sorts of things that might ping as disrespectful:

-Non-spoken lines making fun of the character (such as calling them "gross")
-high number of "in character" or spoken lines making fun of the character
-calling them "it" (or any other pronoun) in a way that deprives the character of personhood (some Wanderers may use it/its! Respect that if/when it ocurrs!) (Your character is allowed to be mistaken, please try to be clear this is a character mistake and not an authorial one)
-entries that feel like they were written from a place of Disliking the character (we understand this is subjective, and other factors will be looked at)
-entries using the character as a mouthpiece for any sorts of views that deny other characters (or any people, groups of people, or cultures) personhood and basic dignity
-entries using the character as a vessel to insult other characters, players, admins, or other species
-portraying them as an obvious charicature of any ethnic group.
-uses slurs against them or involves them using slurs.

 

There will be up to 6 total winners, labelled 1-6. Winners will be asked to list the Wanderers they want in order of preference based on which number they have and who they put in entries for (you cannot put in a Sethyr entry and win Alcmene, for example, but if you only entered for Sethyr you get priority on Sethyr).
-i.e. if you are the only person to put in an entry on both Galaeth and Emplisi, you may choose which slot you would prefer to get, instead of receiving Galaeth by default.

-As of Season 5, in the event of low slot turnout players may win multiple slots per month! e.g. if you are the only entrant for Sethyr and Alcemne, you get both slots!

You may include multiple entries in one comment.

Yearly Import Raffle
-Closed!-

Each year, the Wanderers will retire from their journey and seek a permanent residence as new pack members take their place. That means they could even end up with you!


Before we get started we need to establish a few things, however. As the Wanderers are not just fancy imports but characters you all have been developing through the year, we want to make the ownership rules clear.

Wanderers may not be redesigned. Tokens may be added if applicable, and accessories, Elemental Blessings, and new backgrounds can be added, but the actual character cannot be redesigned.

Wanderers may Not be resold for USD.

No Deceasing the import. If you don't want them, gift/trade them to someone else or give them back to the group. Imports returned to the group will not be re-raffled without your approval.

The New Owner may Not change their Wanderer's Attunement without use of the Attunement Shift item.

The New Owner will need to complete their Wanderer's Breeding Eligibility. Their Breeding Comment will be "locked" before they are transferred to their new owner. Slots written by the Matriarchs-Haunt account will not count against the Wanderer's used or total Slots.

The new Owner must be aware that their Wanderer will not keep their built in Guardian or Sun Disk.

If a Wanderer is somehow Unclaimed it will remain group-owned as a starter.

The New Owner must be aware that their Wanderer will maintain their "Starter" status and may be added to lineages as needed.

With that established, here is how

 

How to Enter
-Closed!-

As with the Slot Raffle, you must create a piece that meets our minimum Group Submission Requirements showing one of your ketucari interacting with the Wanderer who's slot you would like to win! THESE PIECES MAY BE COMMISSIONED. Commissioned entries may be used by both Commissioner and Commissionee as long as each has a ket present in the piece. Collaborations are allowed, but in order to count for all involved parties, each must have a ketucari present in the piece. These pieces can double as any group activity but cannot be used in a second raffle here or in another group.

UNLIKE with the Slots, you may include up to 3 Wanderers in an entry and it will count for all of them.

There will be up to 6 total winners, labelled 1-6*.  Winners will be asked to list the Wanderers they want in order of preference based on which number they have and who they put in entries for (you cannot put in a Alcmene entry and win Ryven, for example, but if you only entered for Alcmene you get priority on Almene).
*Rolling is done in 3 waves: First we determine if a Wanderer has only one entry, and if so they go to that person, then we determine if that disqualifies anyone from the RNG Process/Leaves another Wanderer with only 1 valid Entry. If there are Wanderers left after this process, RNG is done and the winners are numbered in rolling order to give their preference list.

A player can win more than one Wanderer in the following conditions:

- They are the sole entrant for more than one Wanderer
- There are fewer than 6 total entrants and multiple people entered for multiple Wanderers

- If there is somehow a "leftover" Wanderer who has an entry in, but for whatever reason they didn't go out in the First or Second rolling phase.

 

Reputation System

Starting in 2024, Wanderers will have a Reputation system. What this is, is essentially a reward for commitment towards a given Wanderer. Entering for Slots to that Wanderer will increase your chances of winning Ownership of them if you enter the ownership raffle.

If you have Two entries for slots to any specific Wanderer throughout the year, you can gain +1 entry into the Ownership raffle for that particular Wanderer.

How this works in practice is essentially increased priority over others who Don't have that +1, where if you and one other player both enter for Ryven and no other Wanderer, and no one else entered for Ryven, and you have the +1 and they don't, you're going to be the one to receive Ryven.
If you enter for multiple Wanderers, and we have a year where there's competition for them and we actually need to use the raffle list, your name will be entered twice so you have a higher chance of winning.

Current Wanderers are due to be adopted out on March 1st, 2027

Hey guys, I hate to have to do this but the healthcare system in my country is awful and I am frequently, and currently, a very sick individual. Even with health insurance that costs me 400 a month I have wound up almost 7k in medical debt, and with more extensive and complex tests ahead of me that number is just going to grow.

I am dealing with complex neuro/coordination issues and still seeking an answer for them along with a myriad of other already diagnosed issues. Due to these neuro issues I am unable to use my hands very well for complex tasks like drawing. So commissions aren't really an option for me right now.

So with encouragement from others I have decided to host a personal fundraiser. I'm not expecting to reach 7k, not at all, but at this point any amount will be extremely helpful in keeping my head above water.

- Moon

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to Moon.
Any extra funds that are accrued, should that happen, will go into things like paying server costs.

Please allow 48 hours for your purchase confirmation.

• Each litter will contain 2-4 cubs.
• An admin will randomly roll which sire and which dam will be used for your litter, then roll the resulting cubs. This is done purely by RNG, which will also be determining the litter size.

They are yours to keep, sell, trade, etc. 

WILD CUBS - 8 USD EACH

WELCOME TO THE SOLSTICE FESTIVAL!

(Kaur is mad about festivity by Anarchisme)

It's back!
Once more Suadriga emerges from the far north to bring joy and merriment to those who have survived another year.
And this time, he brought a Feast!

However, to partake in the feast, you must do well unto your neighbor! What does that mean?
Gifts.

So many Gifts.

For Twelve Days, he will be handing out presents.

You may enter for each present only once, and only on the day that it is being offered.

How do you receive a gift?
By giving one!

Daily Solstice Festival

Gifting

The requirements are simple!

Your minimum requirements are a colored headshot OR 100 words.
The catch? The ketucari CANNOT belong to you. No using Co-owns to get around this.

Your headshots may be sketchy, you may INCLUDE your own ketucari, but the focus should be on the recipient.
To account for this, we asked the lovely Draginraptor to fix up our Gift Art settings! They are now fully searchable, gift writing settings are now actually visible, and you can now set your gift setting en-masse if you want specific default settings!

There's one more catch to your gifts, however, in the spirit of trying to include everyone, and that is: You CANNOT gift to the same person two days in a row.
If you want to spoil your bestie rotten, that's fine! But every other day you have to share the love.
You may also only gift to a Starter once (unless additional Starters are Player-Owned Wanderers).

If you use the on-Site Gallery for your piece, please make sure you submit to the Winter gallery!
For anyone hosting their images outside of the site gallery, Please do be sure to share your art on THIS THREAD to ensure your recipient sees it!

-Firn slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.

Simply comment here to enter for Firn Slots!

Some prompts will be returning from last year, and many prizes will be returning!

Have a happy, safe, and haunted end of your October! Have fun!

Each prompt will show up at midnight pacific time!

TODAY'S PROMPT

The Raffle

We have a raffle again this year! To enter, you only need to make an entry for any day, and link it on the thread you want to enter on! One entry can be used for both raffles!

This raffle seems a little creepy... a little crawly... a little, uh, spider?

Atlach here is the starter for the Arachnid Ambusher lineage skill! 3 of its slots will be raffled!

-Atlach slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.

>Atlach's Thread<

If you're looking for a lanternbug ketucari to take home, for the third year in a row Atlach's line has produced a grandchild, able to learn the Arachnid Ambusher skill at renowned, with Atlach on the second lineage line:

>Raffle Ketucari Thread<

Enjoy 7 Days!

After entirely too long, the moment you've all been waiting for has arrived... The Orphanage is now live and functioning on ketucari dot com!

With the new digs, there's also some changes. For one: genotypes can now be adopted directly. This should allow for a much larger supply of available ketucari even when admin availability is low. Genotypes play by the same rules as imports, but you get to design them yourself. 

However, this also means that we've discontinued offering a free redesign with imports. Ultimately, having predesigned imports as the only option created a huge bottleneck, and also meant that our team was creating many designs that ultimately weren't used. Imports will still be offered to allow newbies to get into the game faster without having to wait on design approval, but we're going to be treating them as a more special thing going forward. You can still redesign adopted imports, but you'll have to snag a redesign token from the store instead of getting one for free!

The last note is that with the differences in how import transfers are handled on site, the no-transfer rule is now being enforced by using Lorekeeper settings to prevent Orphanage adoptions from being transferred or added to trades.  Once a ketucari has five pieces to their name, just send in a claim with proof of those pieces and one of our admins will lift the embargo so your ket's free to roam. 

Now, as a bonus for members that might have signed up and gotten their first ketucari elsewhere during the long wait, we're offering a gift from now until August 31st of either one Foundling Amulet (allows for another Orphanage adoption even if you've already got a ketucari) OR one Distress Beacon (can be turned in for either a wild or a limited semicustom). Please submit to this prompt to claim, and indicate which you'd like. One gift per player!

(EDIT 7/14/25): Made some changes to the Orphanage page to clarify adoption elegibility criteria and implemented some changes to dropoff rewards.

Hello everyone.

It is with sad hearts that we announce the official end of Veluchasm.
Please do not bother any of the admins, here or in Chasmhome, about the interpersonal drama that led to this.

Many of you are likely wondering how this affects ketixi, k-nomalies, and ketixi manticores, and if your genos and earned characters will still be honored and valid.
The good news is, they will be!

As of posting this thread the Ketixi Design Approvals Thread is now open and you may once again submit your Ketixi and Ketixi Manticores there. Any designs that have been waiting while we tried to work things out behind the scenes will be looked at and design approvals will be run. Genes from the rixixi side will be approved to the best of our ability, but we cannot guarantee accuracy across both groups. If you later submit the design to Rixixi and it gets dinged for a Rixixi side gene, we apologize.

Similarly, Ketu-Nomalies may once again be submitted as companions with proof of origin. Again, they will be run through the approval for use in the game to the best of our ability but we cannot guarantee that they will meet B-Nomaly design rules. If you later submit the design to B-Nomaly and it gets dinged for an error, we apologize.

Ketucari will continue to honor cross-group work and allow "double-dipping" with art and literature created with Ketixi, Ketixi Manticores, and K-Nomalies. We will not be checking if created works were submitted to both groups.
However, the ketucari side will also no longer honor any items or accessories or gene edits applied from the Chasmhome side. The imports will be treated as completely separate entities. What this means for design approvals is quite simply: We're going to trust that you're using those items on Rixixi's side. For post-upload edits on the Ketucari side you need to ketucari-side items.

"What if I no longer want my ketixi, manticore, or ketu-nomaly"?

We will set up a thread over in Breeding Requests, where you can exchange your ketixi/manticore genos (on the ketucari side) for semi-customs of roughly equal value. Exact exchange rates for mutations->genes are still being hashed out.
Ketu-nomalies will be able to be exchanged in the same place for player's choice of +1 Friendship Bracelet, their choice of legendary tier item, or a not yet determined amount of Gold, Laurels, and LP.

Thank you everyone for your understanding and patience during these last few months.
