FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I. What is a "Closed Species"?

Closed species (abbreviated to "CS") are a closed group of characters part of an original species created by a single person or group of people. They are very collaborative and are focused on community-driven aspects of lore, roleplaying, and fun events!

You are unable to make an official character for a closed species for free (including Luminites), but may obtain one through various means. For Luminites, you are able to obtain an MYO slot completely free!

II. Why is Luminites a closed species?

As mods, we enjoy the community-focused and controlled aspects of a closed species. In doing this, we are able to make it so that people who are truly invested in engaging with our world, characters, and lore are the ones taking part!

III. Why are you gatekeeping [xyz] traits?

Though we, of course, put together their appearance and lore on our own through lots of time, effort, and care, we do not claim to create or own any of the aspects or traits of Luminites. We do not bother nor encourage or condone the harassment or "gatekeeping" of any traits Luminites feature and generally do not care much about "off-brands" or similar characters as long as the creator/owner does not claim they are an official Luminite.

IV. How do I earn QuBits?

You may earn QuBits in a multitude of ways! This includes (but is not limited to):

• Completing art or writing prompts
• Submitting Luminites art to the QB Redemption gallery
• Trading with someone in our Discord server
• Taking art commissions for QB in our Discord server
• Winning them in the Daily Gachapon

You can learn more about QuBits under the CURRENCY page

V. CAN I PURCHASE QUBITS/MYO SLOTS WITH REAL MONEY?

It is possible to purchase MYO slots and MYO trait items with real money in our Discord server. We do not, however, allow the purchasing or selling of QB involving real money.

VI. HOW do I submit my luminite? What should I know?

Please follow the MYO guide for instructions on how to do this. You may find it under "INFO" in your navbar!

VII. CAN I MAKE A CBC/OC AU?

Yes! For CBCs, we require that you tell us what character they're based on when submitting your OC in the comments section. For OC AUs, this is not a requirement!
We may reject some CBCs due to the content of the media or the character (i.e. NSFW media, characters with problematic imagery, etc.)

VIII. Do you unlock all common/uncommon traits WITH THE MYo?

For common MYO, you unlock all common traits. For the uncommon MYO, you unlock all common AND uncommon traits! Rare and mythical traits can only be added on individually with trait items that you can find available in the shop.

IX. DO EVENT TRAITS EXPIRE?

Nope! As long as you own an event trait item, you're able to use that item whenever you'd like!

X. can I make anthro/humanoid versions of my luminites?

Absolutely! As long as their main masterlist image is feral.

XI. is there a qb redemption cooldown?

Not at all! Once you submit a QB redemption image, you're free to submit another right after!

XIi. can i redeem qb for art of my own luminites?

Not unless it's for a prompt! The QB redemption gallery only accepts artwork for others as stated in the QB redemption gallery rules.

XIii. how do i add the criteria to qb redemption/prompts?

When submitting your QB redemption/prompt, scroll until you see a section titled CRITERIA REWARDS. Click "Add Criterion" and fill out the criteria for each character present that is redeemable.

XIV. will there be bases? can i use a base?

There is currently one official luminites base that you may use! It has a F2U version with common traits and a P2U version with more options! You can currently find the F2U one HERE and the P2U one HERE!

XV. do collectibles do anything?

Nope! They're just for fun. You can either keep them in your inventory or give them to your Luminite's inventory.

XVi. I updated an image but nothing happened!

Please refresh your cache. Lorekeeper sites have a problem where image updates don't load unless your cache is cleared.
