Please give our Terms of Service a read, as it answers many questions here.
 
Q: What are Cinnas? How are they used?
A: 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. 

Q: What is a "MYO"?
A: "Make Your Own". These slots allow you to design your own Cinna. You can purchase them from the shop, or obtain them through gifts and trading.

Q: Can I make a Cinna?
A: 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 .

Q: How much is a Cinna?
A: Prices vary, if you’re interested in a MYO, see our shop. If you’re interested in a custom design, contact one of our Official Artists.

Q: What can a Cinna be based on?
A: Cinnas are based on food and drink. Common flavors include sweet things like drinks, cakes, and candies. Restricted flavors are not currently available for all MYOs. See Flavors.

Q: Can I resell/trade/gift my Cinna?
A: 
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.

Q: Are there rules I have to follow for owning a Cinna?
A: 
Yes. Please read the TOS 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.

Q: Can I use rare or legendary traits for my MYO?
A: You may use rare traits for your MYO with corresponding rarity runes purchased from the shop or obtained by prompts. ​
You may use legendary traits for your MYO with corresponding Golden Meads that can be obtained in a variety of ways. ​

Q: Do I need a MYO slot or rarity runes to purchase a custom from a non-official artist?
A: You do not need a MYO slot or rarity runes when buying a custom from an official or guest artist, but you will if commissioning someone else for a design.

​Q: Can I use flavors from a video game, show, movie, or combine two food items for one theme?
A:
 As long as no IP is being infringed upon, you may base a Cinna off of an in-universe food. 
You may combine two flavors as long as they are within the same rarity, or unless otherwise stated.

Q: Can I hue shift my Cinna? 
A:
Yes. Depending on the hue shift, you may need a Rarity Rune or Chameleoid Potion to give your Cinna a Rare Alternate Palette drastic hue shift. Minor hue shifts are considered a Common Alternate Palette.

Q: What does the Switching Stone do?
A: The Switching Stone is a magical snack that allows a Cinnadog to permanently swap into a Cinnacat or vice versa or allows a Teacup to permanently swap into a Munchkin or vice versa.

An admin is able to switch the species of a character if you decide to use this alongside a MYO item. This item has been retired, not in stock in shops and prompts. The item will retain its use if you happen to have one, however.

Q: Can I sell and trade my Cinnapets freely? 
A: 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 this prompt
They have their own MYO slots and masterlist.

Q: How do I update The Masterlist with my ownership details / fix an error?
​A: 
There are two ways.
  • Submit a prompt with the form filled in in the "Updates" Prompt category. Masterlist moderators will comment if needed.
  • Join the Cinnadiscord and hop in the #ask-the-staff with your concerns.
Q: I want to redesign my Cinna! How do I start? 
A:  
Any time you wish to redesign your Cinna and update its image would require you to submit a design update request in the Settings of your character, under "Update Design."
Small design changes will not need a Redesign Ticket. Any drastic changes or trait changes will do. Do not draw over other peoples' artwork without permission.

Q: How many Cinnas am I allowed to own?
A: 
There is no limit.

Q: Can my Cinna be based on a pre-existing character? Can I base a Cinna off of an IP?
A:
As long as you keep it minimally inspired and not a direct copy. We encourage you to include a variety of inspirations to combine with your desired IP.
 
Cinnas may not be exact copies of another Intellectual Property or its copyrighted characters. Designs may take inspiration from these sources and may be referenced for a wholly unique character. This is a grey area that is subject to approval by admins, and must abide by fair use by being transformative enough. We do not allow explicit NSFW IPs under any circumstances.

Q: Can I have a Cinna with the same theme as someone else?
​A: 
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.

Q: Can Munchkins and Teacups stand upright?
A: 
 Due to the limits of their anatomy, no, but you may depict them as anthro in non-masterlist entry artwork.
All other species can stand upright or on all fours.

Q: Can I commission a [Cinnaspecies] ? I don’t see it in the shop.
A: 
Not all species are available as MYOs at any time. Keep an eye out!

Q: How do I get a Diamond Tail?
A: 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.

Q: Can I breed two Cinnas? Does species matter?
A: 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.

Q: Can my design have forms as the other Cinna species? 
A: 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.
 
Q: Can I void my Cinna? What happens to this Cinna?
A: You may void and unvoid your Cinna via this prompt or contacting the staff. Art by Admins and Official/Guest Artists will not be removed/hidden.
 
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.
