SPECIES RULES:
If you agree to a trade with someone for an Oculi that requires you to complete 2 pieces of art and pay $30, you must do so. If you do not complete your end of the trade, or only a portion of it, the Oculi does not belong to you yet. If you do not complete a trade on either end, you will be given a formal warning and a strike.
Any time you break a rule, you will receive a strike. If you have three, you will be prevented from gaining any more Oculi and a ban will be placed on your name.
We do believe in second chances however! After a year, you may have a strike removed from your name. We just want everyone to have a good time and follow the rules.
Your Oculi will not be voided unless:

Thank you so much for reading! We really appreciate it and hope you have a great time with us!
- co-owning is allowed, however please read over our co-owning rules beforehand.
- you are not allowed to trade/sell/gift your Oculi until you have completely finished your half of your trade/sale to gaining that specific Oculi.
If you agree to a trade with someone for an Oculi that requires you to complete 2 pieces of art and pay $30, you must do so. If you do not complete your end of the trade, or only a portion of it, the Oculi does not belong to you yet. If you do not complete a trade on either end, you will be given a formal warning and a strike.
- You CANNOT commission other users to design a MYO for you. In other words, you cannot pay someone with money, points, or any other kind of currency to create a MYO design for you. However, you CAN trade art/characters for someone to design a MYO for you.
- Please do not create an Oculi without the intention of buying a MYO slot. You're free to create concepts and stash them away for later, but you may not parade them around and use them as if they are already official.
- You’re allowed to make minor changes to your official design on your own! Only slight changes can be made to designs. Small alterations such as minor color changes, markings, or accessory changes are fine.
If you think your changes are too drastic for self-redesign, please contact a moderator or Kuebiko-Soul to confirm! - Do not mini mod. If you see someone breaking the rules or have concerns, CONTACT A MOD.
Any time you break a rule, you will receive a strike. If you have three, you will be prevented from gaining any more Oculi and a ban will be placed on your name.
We do believe in second chances however! After a year, you may have a strike removed from your name. We just want everyone to have a good time and follow the rules.
Your Oculi will not be voided unless:
- You have been breaking rules consistently. We have a 3 strike system and depending on how bad the situation is, we may or may not void your Oculi. This also may result in a blacklist from the species (either temporary or permanent depending on the severity of your actions)
- You have been ignoring warnings, confrontations, and strikes from an admin, or attempting to break sale rules.
- You have designed the specific Oculi in question, and are currently in full ownership of it. We do not recommend this, as we would prefer Oculi to remain in healthy circulation.
Co-owning rules
- A main owner must be designated
- The user who originally owned the Oculi or contributed the most to the ownership of the Oculi is the main owner. If both parties contributed equally to the ownership of the oculi, they must agree to who is the main owner.
- Co-ownership cannot be sold for more than half of the total value of the Oculi.
- You can't sell/trade your co-ownership away until the MAIN OWNER agrees to this.
- Neither the Main or secondary owner can sell their half of the ownership for the whole price. You can only sell your half away for half of the whole price of the Oculi. You only own half, you can only sell half.
- You cannot take your co-ownership back from a trade/sale without refunding or returning what you got for the co-ownership. If the person you traded/sold the co-ownership to does not want to reverse the trade and will not take the refund or return, you cannot force it on them. Let them be.
- If you are a main owner and wish to revoke the secondary owner's co-ownership: Secondary owners cannot be forced into releasing their half of ownership even if it was gifted to them for free. If the secondary owner is unaware of this and you try to force the co-ownership away, this will be breaking the rules. If there is conflict that makes you uncomfortable to co-own with someone, bring it to the mods so we can deal with it on a case-to-case basis. Situations like this are why we do not recommend co-owning characters. Be aware of this.
- You Do not have the secondary co-ownership until you have completed your half of the sale/trade for it, unless otherwise stated by the main owner.
- If a co-owner is blacklisted for any reason, their co-ownership will be revoked and full ownership will be granted to the other owner.
SPECIES RULES REGARDING TRADE/SALE:
- MYO slots are non-transferable. When purchasing a MYO slot, you will designate who the slot will belong to.
- You must wait at least 3 days before trading or selling your Oculi. This is so we can try to minimize trade fodder.
- Once a trade/sale is completed, it is final. (There are of course extreme cases where if there are complications, the team may decide to reverse a trade because of someone not fulfilling their end of the deal.)
- You are not allowed to sell your Oculi for more than its original price. However, you may contact Kuebiko-Soul for an appraisal if you feel the price has raised by commissioned art or mass personal art.
- Your Oculi MUST BE ON THE MASTERLIST to be considered official.
- If you feel that your Oculi has yet to be uploaded to the masterlist, please contact us with your slot proof and design approval so that we can get on that right away!
- Make sure the masterlist is up to date when trading or selling your Oculi. Your name must be on the masterlist and it must be up to date with all changes done under your ownership.
Appraisals
This is for when you would like to sell your Oculi for more than what you received it for.
- If you bought an Oculi for $20 and during the course of your ownership have commissioned $30 worth of art, that price will be appraised to total $50 worth. This only applies if YOU PERSONALLY have commissioned this art. Previous owners' commissions will not factor in. They missed out on appraising them beforehand, and you may not take advantage of that.
- If art that was calculated into your appraisal turns out to have been free art instead of commissioned art, there will be another appraisal to lower the price to the correct worth. Do not lie about the art's worth.
- if you have been an owner of your Oculi for over 1 month you will be allowed to sell your Oculi for the WHOLE original sale price.
- if you have been an owner of your Oculi for under 1 month you will be allowed to sell your Oculi for HALF of the original sale price.
About Blacklisting
- Blacklisted users will remain blacklisted permanently unless specified otherwise.
- When blacklisted, you will be banned from participating in the group, discord, and from obtaining official Oculi.
- If you are blacklisted from Oculi-Galaxy, your current Oculi may be voided. There is a small possibility that you may trade or sell them away rather than having them voided. You will be banned from obtaining any more Oculi, nontheless.
- There are many ways to land yourself on the blacklist, including but not limited to: Toxic behavior, scamming, forging screenshots, ignoring admins, continuous rule breaking, and impersonation.
- If you are blacklisted, you will not receive a refund for Oculi-related services or adopts. The characters are still yours, but will not be considered official/will be voided.
- If you are blacklisted for any reason and you are the co-owner of an Oculi, your co-ownership will be revoked and full ownership will be granted to the other owner.
- Furthermore, if the service is not finished we may refund you. If it involves a scammed design we will not refund you. When you agree to purchase a service, you are only allowed to submit legitimate Oculi.
