Hello! Welcome to Tokotas!



Below is our best attempt at explaining what tokotas are and what awesomeness you can get up to with them! Tokotas is a large and active group with lots to do, so we recommend you read this journal in chunks rather than trying to get through it all at once for best results.

First of all, what are these things?
Tokotas are giant mammals similar to bear-dog hybrids. They're rideable and come in lots of different shapes and colors. They can be used for in-game events like activities, breeding, and shows, or kept as a personal OC, or both!



Tokotas are not free to create; you must purchase, win, breed, or be gifted one in-game.

Our number one priority is to make Tokotas as inclusive as possible, as well as being fun for all members! There are ZERO minimum activity rules (you will not be kicked out for being inactive), ZERO reference rules, and ZERO reclaim rules and everyone is allowed to join and participate - no matter your language, age, or artistic / writing level! To officially join the group, you will need to have been a member of dA for at least one full month, and have some art or literature uploaded in your gallery. You can still get your first Tokota without becoming a member, and you do not need a Tokota in order to join!

To go into more detail on what tokotas are, check out the Species Information journal, otherwise read on to learn how to get one!

How do I get one?
There are lots of ways to get a Tokota! You can claim one for free as a brand new member at the Adoption Center , or trade with other members using art, DeviantArt points, USD, or other currencies!

Remember that Tokotas are NOT free to create and you must get an official tokota from the group or a member, not make one yourself.


Ways to get a tokota

  • Adoption Center - The easiest way to get a Tokota as a new member is through the Adoption Center ! Here you can place a claim on an un-designed tokota and, if you win it, design it to your liking and get it accepted into the group. It's completely free to anyone who doesn't own anything tokotas related, but the whole process can take several weeks.
  • Purchase From Member - If you're interested in a faster turnaround you can purchase tokotas directly from other members. This can take one of two forms:
  • You can purchase an already-uploaded tokota (you can always change its personality and name to suit your tastes)
  • You can purchase an undesigned tokota genotype (like a blueprint for what it will look like)
    • You can find other members selling tokotas in the advertisements folder . There are lots of uploaded tokotas and genotypes available for any currency, and occasionally some are even offered for free to newbies!
  • Taming - If you're feeling adventurous you can attempt to tame a wild tokota ! These are released infrequently and lots of members will also be trying to tame them, making it difficult to win, but the tokotas up for taming are generally rarer / more desirable.
  • Semi-Custom - Sometimes Tokotas admins will sell semi-customs, allowing you to purchase a custom tokota made to your specifications (within limits). These are not set to any specific release schedule and go quickly, but start at a base price of $10 and can be a good way to get what you want easily.
  • Breeding - The most complicated method to get a tokota is through breeding, but it can allow you to try and get your dream tokota (with a little luck). To breed you must find two tokotas (one male, one female) and either buy or be gifted permission to breed them together by their owners. You submit the breeding to the group and in return you'll get a litter full of genotypes for you to keep or sell as you choose. You can learn more about the breeding process here !



Things to keep in mind
  • You must have proof of ownership of a genotype in order to have a tokota uploaded by admins, so make sure you hold onto the link that leads to the breeding comment of the genotype!
  • It's common practice to complete the Rites of Fertility to earn a tokota's Arms of Akna award (sometimes called AoAs) in return for a slot, but otherwise be sure not to buy slots to a tokota without its AoAs, as this is against group rules.
  • Consider taking screenshots after making a deal, sending payment, etc. This will help the group sort the situation out more efficiently if a complication arises!


So what is a genotype?
Your tokota's genotype is the recipe for what it will look like! The particular order of letters tells you what genes the tokota has, and by layering these markings on top of each other you'll end up with a lovely tokota.

To get an idea of what a geno might look like, you can paste the phenotype into the TotemSpirit gallery , where all tokotas are uploaded to. This will bring up examples of how other members have designed similar genos.

For additional genetic resources, try the following links:




Okay, I've bought a genotype. What now?
If you have an official genotype, the next step is to design it and have it uploaded by admins to the import account, TotemSpirit . Keep in mind that you may not breed or use your Tokota in the group until it is posted by TotemSpirit . Additionally you are not permitted to upload the design to your gallery - if you do you will be required to take it down.

  • If you have purchased a genotype and wish to design it yourself, click here to find out how to design your Tokota.
  • If you wish to have one of our official Design Den designers design it for you, click here . This is free but may not always be open!
  • If Design Den is closed and/or you would like to have another member design it, you are welcome to use the advertisements folder to look for people offering or to ask! Prices differ depending on the artist.


What can I do once my tokota is uploaded?
Congratulations! If you've made it this far, you're now an official tokota owner!

If you're interested in chatting with other members and possibly expanding your pack, you may want to check out the Tokotas skype chat ! Everyone is welcome!

You can also develop an optional handler/rider .

If you have just bought a designed Tokota and would like to change their name, personality, or health status, go to Import & Ownership Changes !


About the Group
There are lots of aspects to the group beyond just owning a tokota.



General Group Information
Group Rules In order to maintain a safe and drama-free environment, the group must operate on a number of rules that are absolutely necessary for you to read before participating. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with them!

Choose a faction! There are currently six factions that exist in the Tokota community, Pack Leaders, Β Prestige Breeders, Lore Keepers, Knowledge Seekers, Wilderness Trackers and Token Brokers. You are not required to pick a faction, but each one has benefits that may help you immensely in the game.

Join a tribe! A tribe is a user-run group, similar to a guild, which has unique themes and goals. It is a great way to make friends within the community! If none of the current tribes strike your fancy, don't worry - anyone is allowed to form their own tribe, as long as tribe formation is listed as open on the front page of the Tokotas group.

Who can I talk to if I'm having problems with someone/something?The group is big and it may look a bit intimidating, but the admins are here to make sure you are satisfied and have an approachable place to go if problems arise. Please send a note to the group and we will respond ASAP! If you are having a problem with an admin, please feel free to send a note directly to Barking-Birds or NorthPaws . All complaints will remain 100% anonymous.

In-Game Information
Set up a Tokotna account! Tokotas has a companion website called Tokotna.com which allows you to store all your items in your bank account, transfer and trade items with other members, view and edit details of your tokotas, craft items and much more. All of these cool features on tokotna allow for instant tokota and item transfers, instant crafting and instant purchases. The Tokotas in-game currency is called "Toko Tokens" or "TT". These can be redeemed for many cool and beneficial items featured in our in-game store The Trading Post which is located on the Tokotna website. Toko Tokens can be earned mainly from redeeming the prey and items gained via activities at the TT Bank. To get started with your own Tokotna account head on over to the Account Management journal and follow the instructions on that journal and the Tokotna.com registration page.

The Hierarchy System The hierarchy system is one of the most important parts of the Tokota ARPG. Every time you draw or write about your tokota you are earning them "hierarchy points" - better known as HP. As your tokota earns more points you will be able to advance them to new statuses, each of which comes with benefits to breeding and more!

No-deadline art/literature activities Tokotas can participate in many ongoing activities, including fishing, hunting, exploring and caving. There is no deadline and these activities will earn your tokota items they can redeem for TT at the bank, as well as crafting items, companions, and more!

Crafting Crafting allows you to create new items out of items found while exploring!

Continuous Events You can enter your tokotas in these events at any time for a chance at great prizes! Additionally there are often lots of member run contests advertised through the group.

PippinDraws In reply to xSELFIES [2017-02-02 00:03:01 +0000 UTC]

Yes. There is a form associated with all activities, and it needs to be filled out so that we know exactly what to roll. You can find it here:

ActivitiesHunting, Fishing, and Exploration are activities through which you can earn pelts, fish, and items through artwork and literature. These rewards can be redeemed for Toko Tokens, used for crafting, or exchanged for a number of other items. Any Tokota can participate in activities regardless of hierarchy status, award status, etc. Please check the group's front page for the current hunting season.

How to Participate in Activities
Preparation
Create a journal. You can put this in sta.sh writer or have it public and it can be separated per Tokota, activity, or have them all combined in one big journal or stash document. This will be a "bank" of all your caught prey items. All you need in the content of the journal is at the very minimum a thumbnail or link to your Tokota's import sheet.
TokoTime or an admin of :d

You must fill out the following information in the artist's comments:


Link to import sheet:
Nicknames used (literature only):
Prey Hunting:Β 
Link to (hunting/fishing/exploring) journal:
Link to Leasing Permission:Β 
Relevant Items/Companions/Traits:
Link to tribe benefits (if part of a tribe and utilizing tribe benefits):

PippinDraws In reply to xSELFIES [2017-02-02 02:21:53 +0000 UTC]

I recommend reading through the journals. Your hunting piece should be submitted to the proper folder over at when the group opens back up for February, with the form filled out in the description. The piece will be rolled by admins after it's submitted to the folder over at TokoCenter.

If your tokota is ready to move up a Hierarchy Status, you would do that over at the Hierarchy Updates page, which you can find here:Β Cycling Journals Hub

For more information on the Hierarchy System:

Hierarchy SystemA tokota's hierarchy status is a symbolic measure of its experience and influence, shown in its visible confidence and body posture. Some tokotas will stay at the hierarchy status they were born into, but many - with or without help from their handler - will be able to rise through the ranks and claim the boons of a higher status.
The hierarchy system is used to level up your tokota through drawing or writing about them. As they accumulate points your tokotas will rise through the hierarchy, eventually reaching Alpha status.
Hierarchy Milestones || Calculating Hierarchy Points || Hierarchy Statuses
Hierarchy Milestones
When you believe your Tokota has enough HP to advance to the next hierarchy status, please proceed to the Hierarchy Updates journal!
Submissive -> Average: 75 HP required
Average -> Domi

  • Adoption CenterΒ - The easiest way to get a tokota as a new member is through theΒ Adoption Center ! (Scroll down in the link to find it). Here you can place a claim on an undesigned tokota and, if you win it, design it to your liking and get it accepted into the group. It's completely free to anyone who doesn't own anything tokotas related, but the whole process can take several weeks.

So for HP... if my tokota has a clean slate and all that, do they start at 0 HP? I have one that is Average and another is Submissive so do they start at 0 and I build them up or does my Average already have some due to being average? Same with my submissive one?Β

Every Toko starts as a clean slate (0HP), regardless of if it was born average or not
Submissive Tokotas need 75HP to get to Average, and Average Tokotas need 250HP to get to dom

PippinDraws In reply to KornCribKennel [2017-01-08 00:22:43 +0000 UTC]

There are a few areas in the group that use a journal.Β Crafting, Activities, Shows/EventsΒ (often listed as "career tracker"), and Random EventsΒ all use some kind of tracking. At its most basic form, the journal for this needs nothing more than a label and a place for admins to comment on. You have a lot of free reign in how you set those journals up, though!

Some people choose to do these per tokota/activity, and have one journal for each tokota, like this:

Persephone - Tracking Journal
Persephone 21523

This tokota is free to use in taming attempts! Please justΒ tag meΒ in each attempt so I can log it here in her HP journal - plus I love to see and read what you use her in! <3

Handler information:


No handler (loner)

Breeding:
Arms of Akna: +10HP
Rites of Fertility: 3/3
Β  Β  Β βœ“Β Rite of Merit:Β Passed with excellent score.Β 
Β  Β  Β βœ“Β Rite ofΒ Fortitude:Β Passed withΒ e

And then some people just have one big activity journal for all their tokotas, like this:

Kayxer's Tokotas_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
|| TOKOTA DIRECTORY HUB||
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
FISHING REPLY HERE
HUNTING REPLY HERE
EXPLORING REPLY HERE
CAVING REPLY HERE

But the one thing that all styles of journal have in common is that it's just somewhere for admins to post with results of activities/shows/random events/etc. It's entirely up to you whether you do one journal, or multiples.Β 

Edit: To add on to that, you could always check out some Toko member's pages to see how different people set theirs up c: There's really a ton of different ways to do it, all depends on how organized you want to be and what styles you like!
