Odenis info

Odenis overview

Odenis are a fictional species of feral western dragons with some eastern dragon features. They are sentient and usually small to medium sized (roughly somewhere between a horse and an elephant). They are corporeal, but may sometimes be viewed as spirits because of their strong connection to an element or concept, called aspect. 

Species standards

The following features define an Odenis:

• Morphology: western dragon silhouette with a mammal-like face, long neck, deep chest, shorter forelimbs, bird-like wings and a long reptilian tail. Six limbs total, including four legs for terrestrial locomotion and two wings for flight. Forelimbs have reptilian hands that are capable of supination and prehension; hind limbs are canine-like.

• Coverage: the body coverage includes scales, fur, and feathers that are distributed on specific areas of the body. 

  • Fur covers at least the forehead and eyebrows, cheeks, back of the neck (mane), shoulders and chest, back and sides of the ribcage, wing arms, rump, back of the thighs, and back of the tail (at least partially). 

  • Feathers are only present on the wings. The wings don't have small feather coverts, only two rows of large ones (one per side) and remiges. The primaries are pointy. The areas that would normally be covered with small feathers on real-life birds are actually covered with fur. 

  • The rest of the body is covered with scales. 

• Socle and jewel: the center of the forehead is adorned with a large, flat scale called “socle” and a small, smooth jewel embedded in the socle. The size, shape and colors of both the socle and jewel make a large part of each Odenis’ identity. The jewel glows when energy is used for magic.

• Dentition: the teeth are carnivorous-like. The usual dentition is made of 8 sharp fangs per quadrant, including 2 incisors and 1 canine.

While all Odenis share these characteristics, they all look different from one another thanks to their individual traits. The number and rarity of these traits may influence a design's value.

Creation and adoption

If you wish to adopt an Odenis, make sure you agree with all the terms listed in the closed species terms of use further below.

There are three ways to acquire an official Odenis character:

• "Original": Buy an original design that was premade by Amayensis. Designs that are up for adoption can be purchased on my Ko-Fi shop!

• "Custom": Commission Amayensis for a custom Odenis design based on the traits and colors of your choice.

• "Model": Draw an Odenis concept yourself or have another artist draw a concept, then commission Amayensis to turn this model into an official Odenis. The model has to meet specific criteria to be acceptable.

To create an Odenis (Custom or Model types), you will need to choose its traits among the available ones in the Traits guidelines. 

Closed species terms of use

These terms cover what you are allowed or not allowed to do with the Odenis design(s) you own.

Last update: September 2024

Ownership

1. All Odenis and commissions related to them (including new design cards and design card edits) are subjected to my Terms of Service and habitual commission status. Commissioning me and/or adopting an Odenis implies that you agree with both my ToS and the present terms of use of the species.

2. Odenis cannot be used for commercial purposes. You are not allowed to make profit off Odenis designs (such as using them for a brand, prints etc). You are also not allowed to make profit by reselling an Odenis design for a higher price than what you bought it for. 

3. You may make art or have others make art of your Odenis, create a reference sheet for them, give them a backstory, etc. 

Design authenticity

1. Every authentic Odenis design has its design card recorded in the masterlist. Any Odenis design or concept that is not in the masterlist is not legitimate.

2. It is your responsibility to check whether a design is legitimate or not before buying or trading.

Obtainment 

1. Only Amayensis, the closed species' creator, may produce, give and sell new Odenis designs. 

2. Other artists are allowed to make concepts for Odenis designs in the context of "Model" design creations, but these concepts cannot be considered official until their card has been made and added to the masterlist by Amayensis.

3. The species creator (Amayensis) reserves the right to refuse any trait, trait variant, or trait customization suggested by the client for Custom or Model designs, if they aren't considered fit for the species. You recognize that what is considered acceptable or not may also change with time (what used to be accepted/forbidden may not always stay that way).

Reselling and trading

1. You are allowed to resell an Odenis design for a price lower or equal to the current value of the design, as recorded on the masterlist. If the current value is higher than what you bought the design for, you cannot sell it for a higher price than what you bought it for.

2. You may sell your Odenis for more than its current value only if commissioned artworks are attached to it. Price appropriately.

3. You may trade Odenis characters if you wish. Regardless of what it has been traded for (except money), a trade sets a design's current value to zero.

4. Please notify Amayensis whenever you have sold or traded an Odenis to keep the masterlist up to date, by providing the ID and name of the design, the name of the new owner, and the reselling price if applicable.
