Description
YEAH! Figured I'd finally get this set up so I can start making Toll premades *_*Gonna keep it simple for now? Will add as questions get asked or whatever. There isn't much in the way of lore here, but I'll touch on it!
It's color coded!
Information you should know first! Tolls come in two main variations. "Natural" Tolls, who live in groups and revere Lucky Chimes, often partaking in ceremonies dedicated to the Chime species, and good vibes in general, and "Impostor" Tolls, who split from Natural Toll groups and live as individuals, fooling bonded humans into thinking that they are Chimes, replacing the human's Chime and stealing the magic of the chime and the good vibes of the human. Tolls of either variety are capable of eating food matter for survival! They are also capable of devouring magic.
1: Tolls naturally grow fur manes around their necks. Some Natural Tolls may choose to cut or style their manes differently, but Impostor Tolls always cut the hair away from their head and style parts of their neck mane to look like Chime "ears". Unlike Chime "ears", Tolls can not move their faux "ears".
2: Impostor Tolls and Natural Tolls have slightly varying anatomy due to their lifestyles. Naturally, Toll backs are curved inward so their flanks stick out a little. However, since Impostor Tolls need to look like Chimes, they spend much of their time as a quadruped (on all fours), and curve their backs out to mimic the spine shape of a Chime.
3: Tolls are not limited to the hair-only type of tails that Chimes are limited to. Some Toll tails may have bone and flesh beneath the fur, and may wag and move much like a dog's or a cat's tail. Tolls may even have unicorn or lion style tails (short fur with a tuft of longer fur at the end), but Tolls may not have completely hairless tails.
4: Impostor Tolls wear helmets to pass off as a Chime. The helmet covers their entire head. Natural Tolls may sometimes wear masks that look like Chime faces. These masks do not cover their entire head.
5: Natural Tolls' ears come in all shapes and sizes! While the ears do not interfere with Chime masks, most types of ears would interfere with Chime helmets. Thus, Impostor tolls always crop their ears to a very short length, and usually keep them pressed flat against the head.
Also! Impostor Tolls will usually be seen with very contracted pupils, since they spend most of their time with the helmet in the dark. When they take the helmet off, their pupils contract, as they are not used to the direct light. Natural Tolls have larger, friendlier looking eyes.
6: (This involves you being familiar with Chime anatomy, otherwise just take my word for it haha) Tolls have thumbs! Unlike Chimes, Tolls may actually use their hands as hands, and they have dexterous fingers with which to grab and use tools. Chimes also have a joint that seems to "break" their lower back legs. Tolls do not have this break! (Not super important, I'm not gonna bug anyone about this!)
7: Tolls have some natural magic in them as a species! This magic allows them to hover very little for a short amount of time, and also allows them to shrink from their natural size at about 3ft/1m, to a Chime's size! They cannot make themselves grow larger unless they acquire more magic- which happens to be something Impostor Tolls do, the more they absorb magic from Chimes!
Impostor Tolls are usually larger and more aggressive than Natural Tolls! Natural Tolls spend their lives respecting and worshiping Lucky Chimes, while Impostor Tolls usually have a bit of darkness in their hearts, driving them to hunt and devour Chimes' magic, usually ultimately ending in the death of one or more Chimes.
ANYWAY QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME
Tolls are a closed species. Please do not make your own!

Um!! That's aaaa kind of grey area- first off, you'd need a toll "MYO" slot or something to begin with for sure- so it would not be a free...thing? If you wanted the toll to actually exist as a toll, I'd be okay with you using an MYO slot to make a toll which is inspired by? your OC? but not considered another "form" of the OC, in that-- like I get kind of uncomfortable if it could be perceived as "this character shape-shifts into a toll", etc etc? Since tolls can't shapeshift like that? SO I MEAN!!! It could be discussed! But you would need an MYO slot first ;w;'
(sorry, I edited out a part of my comment as I would actually rather...not acknowledge the possibility of that existing/happening haha- sorry if you saw it and now have to deal with it being retracted OTL)

Okay lets get this down so i know i'm getting this right.
1. Need a MYO slot
2. Using OC is okay but not as another Form. (like no transforming into it)
3. If i were to use it as Just her original species or just a Toll species
That all right?
And a second question: How do i get a myo slot? O.o

I'm notttt super clear on what you mean by #3! If you mean that for that character you could either JUST use her as her original species or JUST use the toll version, one or the other, then I guess so, yes! if it's meant to be the same character :0
ANDDDD an MYO slot for a toll would be $30 or 3000 points :0Β
they're not always available but since I haven't sold any in a while I'd be open to it right now hahaΒ

I wouldnt be able to get a MYO slot for a week or two right now. I've got some other things I need to pay for atm. So unless I can sell some commissions then i'm going to have to wait
And yeah, Like in a drawing, I just think it would be cool to see her as another species. I've got her as a dragon and lion already drawn out. I've thinking of searching to get her as other species Incase I ever want to use one of them for a while instead of her normal wolf form

That's alright, the slots won't be going anywhere, buuuut...
I'm still not suuuper sure I understand what you'd want if you did get an MYO for this design ;w; I'd really like to avoid this specific character having a "toll form". So either there could be a toll similar to this character, but still a wholly different character, or I'd ask that the toll not be similar at all? So like a "toll form of this character" is something I'm not really comfortable with! Sorry if I'm just repeating myself or not being clear enough >A<Β

I would just love to have different species with all her designs and stuff.
If u don't want her to have a toll form, i won't get one for her.
As u seem to not want her to have a toll form, i'm just curious as to why? I mean it's not going to harm anything i don't think.

burrdog In reply to Darkarcangel5 [2016-10-17 04:40:28 +0000 UTC]
Oh, once again, it's just the fact that having a "toll form" implies that it's the same character shifting somehow into multiple forms? And I just don't want someone to see a toll, see a lion/dragon/wolf as the same character, and think, "oh, I guess tolls can shapeshift into other animals!"
I hope that makes sense? D:Β

I need one. Question, would ever make an open species?
I need to get some points, but I don't have control over my money, it's used to pay for the mortgage to help my parents. Gah
I Also need 50 of them. gah. So cute

burrdog In reply to AmaaDivine [2015-08-26 21:11:26 +0000 UTC]
I'd probably not make an open species just because I like having some manner of control over the rules and things for my own species? but I may have some species that are easy to obtain at some point ><;
thank you though

Possibly! I'm interested in pop closed species designs, as well as money not interested in art or anything else thoughΒ

What an adorable species X3!!!!
Are their pupils visible through the holes in the mask/helmet?

burrdog In reply to theYTfox [2015-03-20 22:19:33 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! And, it's not exaaactly their pupils, it's like maybe a glint off the eye, but for the sake of the species aesthetic/looking like chimes, I may put that glint in all sorts of shapes! But there is /something/ of their eyes visible through the mask/helmet yes ovo

theYTfox In reply to burrdog [2015-03-20 22:43:30 +0000 UTC]
Oh that would explain a lot! Thanks! :3
... Wait does that mean that the impostor tolls must keep one of their eyes closed to imitate the single eye of a chime?
sorry that I'm asking so much about their eyes I'm just curious XD

Hehe, it's fine! Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't- it depends on how clever the toll is

Of course, you always come up with some really lovely designs, so I have no doubt your tolls will be amazing too~
