EDIT/SMALL UPDATE: As of Tuesday, March 21st, 10:00AM CDT, Tint's passrate has been boosted to 30%!

Hello everybody!
It was very recently discovered that Blazing Star ST-2786 had an error in her genotype that prevented her from passing her Tint gene!

Like
At All.

So after some discussion we decided that the fairest way to handle this is to ask players who own Undesigned Liatris Cubs from breedings rolled Prior to March 19, 2023 to post here with proof of ownership to specifically have a simple 1-100 RNG run through Random.org to see if they get Tint. Edited genos will be posted back into the thread. The error has been fixed and any breedings rolled after March 19, 2023, will not have this reroll available.

This is Opt In. No other genes on the cubs will be touched or rerolled, and if you don't mind the lack of Tint you are not required to post!
This thread will be open indeffinitely, and all current owners of Liatris cubs will be contacted to inform them of this option.

Thank you for your understanding!

Post HERE to receive your rerolls, please only post one breeding per comment!

Form:
**Breeding**: [here]
**Cub Numbers**: [exclude any who are already uploaded, or who you don't want rerolled]

The Wanderers

[DA Journal Version]

    A pack of young adult ketucari has recently been spotted roaming the continents, seeking to explore, learn, and socialize wherever they go. Calling themselves the Wanderers, their aim to experience all walks of life may cause their paths to cross with your very own ketucari! 

Current 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.

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! Collaborations are allowed, but in order to count for all involved parties, each must have a ketucari present in the piece.

 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 Manghild, Liatris, and Hen'ri. Player 1 can use the piece to enter for Manghild, Liatris, or Hen'ri, 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.

Going forward, we will be rejecting entries that we feel cross the line into disrespecting the character.
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" in a way that deprives the character of personhood
-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

 

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 Livia entry and win Fionn, for example, but if you only entered for Bun you get priority on Bun).
-i.e. if you are the only person to put in an entry on both Manghild and Liatris, you may choose which slot you would prefer to get, instead of receiving Liatris by default.

You may include multiple entries in one comment.

Yearly Import Raffle
-CURRENTLY OPEN-

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 be added to lineages as needed.

With that established, here is how

 

How to Enter
-CURRENTLY OPEN-

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.

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 Haze entry and win Free, for example, but if you only entered for Haze you get priority on Haze).

Current Wanderers are due to be adopted out on March 1st, 2023

The Plains of Messus have reached the threshold of 250 adventures, signaling it’s time for a raid! To give everyone time to prepare for the event, and do WaLoS in April, we will be holding the Plains of Messus raid in May. Until the end of the raid, the zone will remain closed, meaning no adventures or battles may be submitted in the Plains of Messus at this time.

Additionally, the Harbinger titles this time go to Evermore KT-1638, Feel It Still KT-2453, and Saturn KT-1255, for the following piece! Anarchisme and ASimpleMoon, redeem at Titles and How to Earn Them!

NEW QUEST!

Effective immediately, a new quest is available over on Elder Island!

As of now, you can take Renowned ketucari and give them a full-body makeover by changing their feather type!
As with The Inner You this quest costs stats and sacred items, but it takes fewer steps other than reaching Renowned.

We hope everyone enjoys it =3

Hey everybody!

As folks in the Discord know, Chromata ketucari have had updates to their images so that their alternate palette is available right here on ketucari.com
And we realized that if we could do that, we could also host Shift forms and additional reference images on site for everyone!

Down below you will find forms and threads for different kinds of alternate forms or references.
This is OPT IN, except for Chromata alts we will not host your images here by default. From here forward however, places like the Hoard and WaLoS threads will ask if you want the alternate image hosted on site.

When using this thread we ask that you provide a downloadable copy of the reference image, or images, for your ketucari.
Threads will be created shortly. Thank you for your time and patience.

This News Post is _NOT_ to be used to _Add_ Shift forms to your ketucari. At this time that is still done through the Hoard.

Threads:
Humanoid/Animal Shift Forms (Acquired from Darhaskos's Talismans, Small Flip Coins, and the Annual "What a Load of Shift" events)
God/Mythical Shift Forms (Acquired through Large Flip Coins and occasionally raffled kets)
Itemless Reference Images
"Other Side" reference images (subject to very light design approval: essentially if nothing is glaringly illegal it's probably fine)
Unofficial reference images

Hello Everyone!

We are planning a group fundraiser to pay for things like the Haunt's Core, Super Group, and our website's server hosting. Any extra made by the sale will be used for group improvemet.

The Planned time of this Fundraiser is March/April.

The Sale and prices will be identical to the Flash Sale [https://ketucari.com/news/34.flash-fundraiser] from a few months ago, and barring any other admin emergencies will likely be the last Group sale for a While.

More details will be made available closer to the sale, but this is just to let everyone know so that we don't blind-side you all! We hope to see you there!

WELCOME TO THE SOLSTICE FESTIVAL!

(Kaur is mad about festivity by Anarchisme)
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).

That said, our community has gotten scattered since Deviant Art started to pull its bullcrap. As such, this will be our FIRST event hosted through the site.
We have a wonderful new gallery feature. If you use it, 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!

Hello, everyone!

As many of you have heard, our group owned ASimpleMoon is going through a family emergency. The short version is that she and her mother are currently escaping an extremly toxic home environment by moving, and are coming up a little bit short on money for necessities.

With her permission, we've decided to host a flash sale for her, so that she and her mother can get out and stay on their feet while getting out.

This fundraiser is seeking $400 USD. Any extra will be used towards ensuring Moon's safety and the future of the group.

SIDE NOTE: Be aware that replies confirming purchases may be slightly delayed, as the admin in charge of the sale will be at work for the majority of it (RIP). Please allow 24-48 hours for confirmation.

BONUS: For any purchase worth $20 or more, Moon is offering headshots of any ketucari or rixixi of the buyer's choice.

END DATE

The end date of this sale will be October 5th at 11:59 PM PST.

PAYMENT

• Payment is through PayPal Invoices only. No paypal account needed!
• All prices are in USD.

STARTER SLOTS

ROULETTE LITTERS - 15 USD EACH

• “Roulette litter” means that the sire and dam are randomly chosen out of all available starters. Specific starters cannot be requested, as this defeats the purpose of the randomness.
• 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. The parents, as well as the litter itself, will be posted to Breeding Requests and you will be notified once it's up! After that, what you decide to do with the cubs is up to you! They are yours to keep, sell, trade, etc.

WILD CUBS - 8 USD EACH

• Wild cubs work exactly like a wild ketucari you’d find with the Charming skill! Their genes are randomly generated and they may or may not have unknown lineage depending on their rarity.

COMMENT HERE TO PURCHASE A PET

Thank you everyone in advance for supporting the group and allowing us to continue developing this awesome community!

The festivities are over, the revelers trickled back to their respective worlds, and the breeding machine sits quiet...

But a murmur travels among those who assembled: "That was fun. Maybe we should do it again sometime?"

The Veluchasm festival is now a recurring event. Perhaps we'll see you again next year...?

Thank you, sincerely, to all of you who participated. As an admin of both groups, it really delighted me seeing how many folks came out of the woodwork for our little festival. I hope you'll stick around!

Now for a piece of more serious news: Due to a family crisis, our dear group owner ASimpleMoon is taking a leave of absence. In the meantime, I, pawstepsinthesnow, and my partner in crime IIIXKitsuneXIII, will be filling her shoes until such a time as she can return. This is not affecting species ownership or group rights-- Moon has simply deputized us to act in her stead while she focuses on things in the physical world. Those of you in the Discord probably have noticed we've temporarliy taken on the group admin role, but I wanted to give a heads-up to site-only folks as well. 

The third update: deviantArt has made changes that makes it impossible to edit any journals that have custom skins applied. This has affected several aspects of the group that were still on dA, especially the Orphanage-- I chatted with our illustrious sitedev Draginraptor to enable a few features, and am currently in progress of migrating several dA functions fully onto ketucari.com. I'll make sure to keep you posted on progress. Transferring the Orphanage is currently our top priority-- things have been slowed down to complications with my health, but I'm working as hard as I can to make sure all functions of the group are available again. Thank you for your patience!
