FAQ

• Any cinna directly based on yourself (does not include all fursonas, which warrant a character import label)
• Any cinna based off real-life relatives
• Any cinna based off real-life pets
• Any cinna based off real-life (personal) items

Specifics of the source are not disclosed for the sake of respect and privacy. 

• Any cinna directly inspired by your own OC.
• Any cinna meant to be an alt-form of your own OC
• Any cinna that has non-cinna forms. (ie. Human Forms)

This criteria applies no matter how close your cinna looks to the original design. No cinna qualifies as "distinct enough" if the cinna was made to be directly inspired by a design. A cinna cannot lose its Character Import/Export label, but it can gain a Character Import/Export label if a non-import/export cinna is redesigned to be directly inspired or referencing a pre-existing design.

• Any cinna directly inspired by an existing character, song, show, meme, etc.
• Any cinna directly inspired on a moodboard / group of images that's intentionally based on / includes a specific IP.
• Any cinna that includes a specific symbol / logo from an IP. (ie. Pokeball markings)
• Any cinna based on an IP related dessert. (ie. Pokepuffs)

This criteria applies no matter how close your cinna looks to the actual IP. No cinna qualifies as "distinct enough" if the cinna was made to be directly inspired by an IP. A cinna cannot lose its IP title, but it can gain an IP title if a non-IP cinna is redesigned to be directly inspired by an IP.

No. All Cinnas need to be marked accordingly for the sake of clarity. You may redesign the Cinna to be more separate from it's source, but that does not negate it being labelled.

With a corresponding MYO Slot your Cinna may alternate between each via natural shapeshifting ability. You would need to get a separate MYO slot to apply to your Cinna in order for it to have multiple forms. If the Cinna's original form has rare traits, additional rarity runes are not needed.

Yes. Two consenting parties, or your own two designs, may have a child as long as there is a MYO slot for it. The child may or may not have inherited traits or flavors from the parents.
All Cinnaspecies can breed together, as the resulting child is simply one or the other.

Diamond Tails are regarded as special gifts given out at darkvvision ’s discretion. Please do not ask for one, as they cannot be purchased. They are given to those who exhibit exceptional behavior in the community, or as a personal gesture on Fever's behalf.

Not all species are available as MYOs at any time. Keep an eye out!

Yes! See the guide below.

Yes. Every Cinna is unique in design, so even if two Cinnas are based on the same food, the chances are that they will look very different. Do not intentionally design your Cinna to resemble someone else's design.

There is no limit.

• Submit a claim with the proper form filled out. Masterlist moderators will comment if needed.
• Join the Cinnadiscord and hop in the #ask-the-staff with your concerns.

Cinnapets do not need to be attached to another design, they may be sold and traded freely. The site cooldown will be automatically added to traded Cinnapets, but that can be circumvented with a claim. 
They have their own MYO slots and masterlist.

Yes. You will need a Magic Food Dye to transfer to your Cinna's inventory to unlocked alternate palettes.

Yes, you can use flavors from a media as you wish.
You may combine two (or more) flavors, so long as you have the required items for Savory and/or Unusual flavors.

Yes. Please read the Terms of Service before purchasing. These terms will be linked on every sale item and in each invoice from darkvvision . Official/Guest Artists' personal design rules are overridden upon acceptance of application.

Of course. You may resell/trade/gift a Cinna after owning them for two full weeks. It is recommended that you resell them for the buying price of a MYO, however that number may change if they were initially acquired via adopt, or if additional commissioned art was purchased. The value is ultimately up to the owner.

Cinnas are based on food and drink. Common flavors include sweet things like drinks, cakes, and candies. Savory and Unusual flavors  can be used so long as you use an Unusual Flavor Ticket. See Flavors.

Prices vary, if you’re interested in a MYO, see our shops. If you’re interested in a custom design, contact one of our Official Artists or Guest Artists.

Not without purchasing a MYO slot or coming into ownership of an official design through sales, gifts, trades, or our free prompts available! Cinnas are a closed species belonging to darkvvision.

Cinnas are creatures based on food. There are multiple species and optional lore to build your characters upon. Individual designs are bought or created by customers to use as non-commercial characters, typically for artistic purposes.

Please let an admin know, and we can assign you the Blind Eye role, which hides sales and marketplace channels.

Sales posted on the website can not be hidden on a user by user basis.

Before DMing staff over character disputes, interpersonal tension, or perceived behavior, we highly encourage you to settle matters yourself via conversing with said user, or blocking them [only if necessary].

You must provide a somewhat active & valid social media link for verification [Deviantart, ToyHouse, Twitter, etc.], or you will not be accepted.

Items are typically one-use only, and you must provide a visual for the changes you'd like to see reflected on the Masterlist. Your Cinna will be marked as having used said item and in most cases, should not need reapproval for new forms related to the applied item [i.e. Magic Food Dye, Lycan Potion, Morpho Cookie]

For trait items, you add them in the "Add-On" tab in a design approval. For most consumables, you transfer the item to the character's inventory.

There is an Item Catalog here!

You may gift, sell, or trade your unused items for their original price.

There is no cooldown to transfer unused items unless otherwise stated.

Depending on what you're after, you may find these out of season / out of stock items through the ⁠trading channels in the server or submit a Cinna with the level of rarity you want to the ⁠Swapout Pound in exchange for fresh traits.

Diamond tails are not obtainable when using the Swapout Pound.

There are monthly discounts and regular price drops on many items. These will almost always come with an announcement.

Currently, the on-site cash shop uses PayPal, and the points shop takes payment in credit cards, PayPal, and deviantArt points.

The points shop may ask for your address, but it will never be used by us. 

These traits are harder to come by and can be acquired via customs, prompts, or the Swapout Pound. These traits include Sentient Hoods, Sentient Tails, Cerberus, Chimera, Triple Tail, Mismatch Tail, Bunny Ears, Diamond Tail, and Valknut Tail.

The last two tails are not available through adopts or via the Pound.

They can be applied with a Golden Mead.

See all legendary Cinna traits here!

Rare traits are special anatomical aspects your Cinna can have. These include a Furhood and/or Furponcho, Rare Tails, Wild Faces, or an Unusual Body type.

They can be applied with a Rarity Rune.

See all rare Cinna traits here!

Only Ears and a Sweet ⭐ flavor are considered Common, all other Cinna traits are rare [besides Common tails, of course].

No items are needed for Common traits.

As we work on a visual for every known tail fusion, we encourage you to follow this rarity guide and search the Masterlist, or ask other users for examples ^^ Most are more than eager to help.

Fusion Rarity Guide
Common x Common tail = Common (No MYO add-on needed)
Common x Rare tail = Rare (1 Rarity Rune)
Rare x Rare tail = Rare (1 Rarity Rune)
Retired x Common/Rare = Rare (1 Defuncket) 
Legendary x Common/Rare = Legendary (1 Golden Mead)

Undoubtedly the most prominent feature of Cinnas are their hulking tails. Due to the dense muscle and bone within, they are very rigid and cannot unroll, and they can only minimally wag. Cinnas are born with nubby tails in most cases, that grow into their shape a bit after they are born.
Just like who its attached to, every tail is unique - and displays a lot of personality. The tail is a one-of-a-kind grand backdrop that follows a Cinna everywhere, and is a great tool for presentation.

Tails can be fusions of each other, resulting in tons of possible combinations - each may or may not have its own unofficial name for brevity. A fusion tail can be any two common tails, any two rare tails, or a fusion of a common and a rare tail. Fusion tails are becoming increasingly common and more exciting as Cinnas continue to experiment and document all possible combinations.

If you have yet to see a fusion depicted, consult the Masterlist, or contact darkvvision.

You may, but only one of you will receive the rewards.

Prompts are art or writing challenges that allow you to create and share works with other members of the community and explore your Cinnas' abilities, the world, and its experiences. Prompts also reward MYO slots, items, and more.

Prompts can be found here!

There are many user-submitted Cinnas in ⁠⭐-prompt-cinnas that do not require permission to draw! These Cinnas linked here are also labelled to be available for gift art. Be sure to ping the owner when you share your artwork :)

For certain prompts, you may need to draw an NPC alone or with another Cinna. These NPCs will have toyhou.se links soon, but are viewable on the masterlist.

What if I no longer own a Cinna I posted in ⁠⭐-prompt-cinnas ?
Please consider only sharing Cinnas that you plan to keep for a long time, otherwise it frustrates users to draw with the intent to give it to a specific person and discover the post is outdated. Please remember to delete your post if possible.

You may submit an unwanted Cinna to the pound, where it will be redesigned by a temporary Pound Guest Artist / PGA, and given away for free to the community via a raffle, or draw-to-adopt.

In return for this Cinna, you receive a MYO slot equivalent to their species and traits.

Please fill out the form provided in ⁠the claim's form and submit to it. You will receive an in-character reply and we will ask you to transfer your Cinna on Toyhouse to us if possible. You may send your transfer before our reply out of convenience.

How can I be a PGA?
Applications open multiple times a year, we cycle through applicants as the months go by and let users choose from our Toyhou.se pound account.

Can I adopt Cinnas from the pound?
Yes, at a flat rate of $35 that funds the website, however we primarily give the Cinnas away.

If I submit a Cinnadragon, Cinnawyvern, or Cinnabunny, will I receive MYOs for their species?
Yes, you may receive a Cinnadragon MYO, or a Magic Carrot MYO in exchange for these species.

What do I receive if I submit a Cinna with a restricted trait?
You will receive a restricted trait in return that allows you to use either a Sentient Hood, Sentient Tail, Triple Tail, Mismatch Tail, Cerberus trait, or Chimera trait.

Is there a cooldown to submit to the pound?
You may only submit one Dragon or Cinnabunny every 3 months. You will receive their species MYO and any accompanying rare traits/restricted trait bases.

Are there any rules regarding a Cinna I want to submit?
The Cinna must be at least 6 months old and not on cooldown.

Can I submit Cinnapets to the pound?
We prefer you not submit them on their own. If you submit Cinnapets with a Cinna, please include whether or not you want those in the pound too. You will receive a Construct Sugar in return. We highly encourage you to trade or gift it before sending it to the pound!

Position openings may happen any time. We may take applications or go out of our way to invite you.
We do not take any profits from Guest Artists.

Our GAs have a schedule where they are allowed special traits or species to design each month. They may choose to make adopts of or take customs for these designs. They receive free MYOs monthly that they may keep.

• Links to visible Toyhou.se Ownership Logs
• Links to Untampered Screenshot(s)
• Link to messages within the server [right-click]

How long should I keep this proof?
We recommend keeping this proof in a folder on your PC or in your character's gallery for future use if necessary to track ownership if stolen.

When do I need to show proof?
When asked for on the site through the claim system.

To minimize the workload on our staff, there is a two week cooldown where we will not allow updates to a Cinna's ownership section of the Masterlist. Soliciting exchanges for their Cinna before the cooldown may result in a warning from staff.

Cinnas may be voided and unvoided upon request of an admin and for any reason. Submit a claim or contact an admin to get your Cinna voided or unvoided.

Voided Cinnas may not be used in any official group activities or prompts. We do not recommend voiding your designs, as you’re allowed to have non-canon forms of your Cinna. It will still be listed on the official Masterlist.

It will receive a voided status,  and we keep the art of said design on the Masterlist unless requested.
Art by Admins and Guest Artists will not be removed.

In order to reinstate your Cinna for official use, you must submit the prompt any time after two weeks have passed since initial voiding. Once un-voided, you must wait 30 days before the Cinna is eligible to be voided again.

Please note when voiding a Cinna, the link will change. (https://cinnaverse.net/character/NPC-00001 -> https://cinnaverse.net/character/VOID-00001)
Any posted instances of the old unvoided Cinna link will not redirect to their voided link. Vise versa for unvoiding a Cinna.

You can, but it will not be officially recognized on the Masterlist. This is to minimize possible ownership disputes.

Cinna designs are allowed to draw inspiration from media, including but not limited to TV, music, movies, comics, books, games, and brands. Cinnas that resemble intellectual property such as these are marked with a badge on-site (Inspired Badge). Even Cinnas with partial inspiration will be marked. 

If a Cinna too-closely resembles the intended inspiration, it may be returned for corrections with suggestions from the staff. We encourage you to take creative liberties when designing a Cinna based on an established property. This is a grey area that is subject to approval by admins, and must be transformative enough to fall under Fair Use. 

As of September 10th, 2024, we are officially disallowing Cinnas directly based on real-life figures (does not include memorial or tribute Cinnas of relatives). This is for the sake of privacy and respect to the IRL figures. In the same vein, Cinnas based off of VTubers are not allowed. Cinnas already on the masterlist based off of real life figures or VTubers will not be affected by this change.

For Cinnas based on real-life relatives, pets, etc., we have a Tribute Badge, which will mark your Cinna as a tribute without disclosing any specifics for the sake of respect. Submit a claim through the site if your Cinna warrants a Tribute Badge.

If you plan on altering the design of a Cinna to the point where it looks completely different from the original but would like to keep its same masterlist entry, you will need a Redesign Ticket [available in the shop or prompts].

Follow the "MYOS, REDESIGNS, AND MASTERLIST UPDATES" section in the site guide under "REDESIGN REQUESTS + MASTERLIST UPDATING + ADDING AN IMAGE".

Your other options are to change traits and design aspects slowly, or acquire another MYO Slot. Do not draw over other peoples' artwork without permission.

Depending on the changes you want to make, you can edit your Cinna's design any time. Once your Cinna begins to look like a completely new character, or has in some way become indistinguishable from the old one, you will need to purchase a Ticket from the shop to validate these big changes.

You can apply new rare traits to an existing Cinna, remove current traits [non-refundable], or edit the design, but in all of these cases you must provide a new visual that serves as the Masterlist reference. You can draw this or someone else can. 
To swap traits, you may only swap for the same rarity or lower, and they only require a new drawing for approval. To upgrade, you need an applicable rare trait.

Does NOT need a ticket

• slightly altered markings [cleaner, different small/simple shapes, stripes, etc.]
• slightly shifted colors [none added or removed]
• swapping ears or tail [requires a new drawing to be posted to approvals to be logged]
• changing hairstyle
• changing/adding clothing or accessories
• changing traits [depending on their use, some traits can be used to fully take over a design, thus would need a ticket].

Needs a ticket

• drastic trait changes [multiple at once, heavy unusual body additions, etc.]
• drastic marking changes [additions, removals]
• drastic palette shifts, additions and removals [you may also use a rare trait to add a rare alt palette, or use a Magic Food Dye to unlock free color changing and unlimited palettes

This first image shows examples of redesigns that are acceptable without a redesign ticket. The Glocks above represent the following minor / acceptable redesigns:

• Changing tail type
• Adding simple markings
• Changing accessory / UB colors
• Hue shifting within the same overall color (in this example it's yellow-green <-- green --> blue-green)

All of these changes still maintain a visual resemblance to the original.

This second image shows examples of redesigns that are NOT acceptable without a redesign ticket, or in more extreme cases not acceptable at all:

• Changed theme; design strays a bit too far from the original (becomes mech - needs a ticket)
• Adding markings in contrasting / drastically different colors (may need a ticket based on how much they resemble the OG Cinna)
• Hue shifts to other colors, i.e. blue or red from the OG green (use a Magic Food Dye for this!)
• Wildly different design, does not keep original theme, shares no resemblance at all (unacceptable)

These changes may not maintain a visual resemblance to the original, but they also may. Anything more drastic than just a little touch-up goes here.

When you're ready to have your Cinna on the Masterlist, follow the "MYOS, REDESIGNS, AND MASTERLIST UPDATES" section in the site guide.

It can be redesigned to a degree and you can request a free update, you can add traits, remove them, upgrade to a different species or add a new species to their entry, and more by submtting a design update request. The submission process is under the same section, labelled "REDESIGN REQUESTS + MASTERLIST UPDATING + ADDING AN IMAGE."

Do not draw over other peoples' artwork without permission.

No, you may use as many as you see fit as long as the design is not obscured and the traits are visible, as well as not intentionally imitating other traits.

There are MYO slots for every species in the Cinnaverse. Cinnadog, Cinnacat, Teacup, Munchkin, and Cinnapet slots are available year-round in our website shop and DeviantART points shop. Dragon MYOs, Cinnabunnies, and Chaosmites are limited to events or the Swapout Pound.

https://cinnaverse.net/shops/products 

https://www.deviantart.com/cinnadog/shop/commissions 

You may also get one per month from the MYO prompt.

You can also get these slots in from other users in exchange for art, money, and more in the Discord's servers trading channel.

No, these artists do not require traits and MYOs up front, but any Legendary Traits must be on hand or have permission to be used.

MYO = Make Your Own

An item that allows you or someone else to design a Cinna that will be added to our Masterlist. You can get this slot designed as a custom from someone else or make it yourself.

You can purchase them from the shop, or obtain them through gifts and trading.
