Credits
The Creator should be given creator credits for all Aw0001, Bunnariums, Holobots, and Holobuddies.

A MYO must give the designer (self or commissioned artist) as the designer.
All Guest Artist designs must be tagged back to the original designer.
Design Use
Aw0001 is for personal use only.
Designs made by WENZ are not for commercial use unless otherwise discussed with WENZ.
Co-ownership is not allowed.
You may use your AW0001 in any setting or world and are welcome to make AU/Alternative forms for your AW0001. AU/Alternative forms will not be considered official or accepted in group activities.
You may choose to make an AW0001 using an existing design as the base.
The owner should give the original designer Creator Credits.
The AW0001-version must be sold/traded/gifted along with the original. Delinking of the AW0001-version and original design is not allowed.
Designing
Art from avatar/character makers/AI/Generated Art (ex. GaiaOnline, PicCrew, ArtBreeder) is never permitted. Art must be your own.
The use of free bases or bases you have purchased the rights to use is permissible.
You must credit the base artist when showing off masterlist art made with that base.
Traced or Stolen art is never permitted.
MYO Slots
You may not make an Aw0001 without the appropriate Aw0001 MYO or other associated slot types.
MYO slots will be assigned a MYO ticket number, which may not correspond with the Aw0001 masterlist number.
MYO Slots do not expire.
Design Resales, Trading, Gifting
The use of Aw0001 as trading fodder is discouraged.
Aw0001 design permissions are tagged as Sale, Trade, Gift, or a combination of the three. All transfers must be notified on the Aw0001 masterlist post or in Discord. The masterlist will note whether an Aw0001 may be traded/resold in the "Trading and Reselling" section.
Sample: Trading and Reselling: Transfer Rules: Can [Sell], [Trade], or [Gift] Original Price: $20
Free Designs:
Inclusive of prizes, gifts, trades, or free MYOs, may not be resold for monetary value but can be gifted or traded.
You may only sell such designs if:
There is other commissioned art**.
The portion below applies to WENZ's designs. Guest Artist (GA) designs will follow the GA's Terms of Service, linked on the Trello. The designs fall under the terms stated below if there is no link to a GA's ToS.
Paid Designs: May be resold, gifted, or traded.
Resale value increases if commissioned art** is included
Commissioned** masterlist art adds to value.
Free/Traded art does not count to the value.
**Commissioned Art Commission art is specified as any art paid for in real-life cash or virtual currency with a static, confirmable exchange rate. Commissioned art must be of your AW0001-specific design.
Removal/Redesign of AW0001
Removal Players may choose to remove their characters from Aw0001 by informing the Creator and team.
Official-tagged designs:
Must go through the Creator for permission. On occasion, Creator will ask to repurchase the design instead of voiding it.
Guest-tagged designs:
Must obtain permission from the original designer.
You may bring removed designs back into the species. These designs will be assigned a new MYO number and require a MYO ticket & appropriate traits.
Redesigns Players may choose to redesign their characters. These redesigns may be Minor or Major and require an item, as indicated in the shop. MYOs are free to be redesigned but Official and Guest Artist redesigns have different permissions.
Minor Redesigns: Must have the same traits as the existing design. You cannot modify or choose different traits even if they are in the same rarity category. Faces/Head Features must remain identifiable as the original design.
These features fall under Minor Design Changes:
Hairstyles, Color Palette changes, Leg Design changes, Arm changes, Tail Design, changes*, and trait changes*.
* You must unlock the appropriate Tail/Trait prior.
Major Redesign:
Allows for a complete rehaul of the design, but this design must follow the trait rarities available to the design.
Official and Guest Artist Redesigns
Official
Minor redesigns are allowed.
Major redesigns are not allowed, but the team will issue a ticket with the same number of traits if a significant redesign is wanted. Traits for this ticket are not usable on other designs.
Guest
You may obtain a form-change ticket for this situation. Form tickets allow for a secondary form of your AW0001. We do not allow major or minor redesigns of our Guest Artist AW0001.
If you prefer a ticket with the appropriate traits instead, let us know. Traits for this ticket are not usable on other designs.
Please note that if you are trading in a Guest or Official AW0001, the design may be raffled, gifted, or resold. The funds from such a resale go to the GA if they're contactable.
Additional Note We also want to remind everyone that changing an aspect of your design in a fashion that could hurt a minority group should not be done; this includes but is not limited to lightening a design's skin tone. We would also like to remind people not to change designs in a fashion that may erase representations of individuals from South or South East Asia.
Suppose you find your desired redesign may cross over this line or are unsure and prefer to be safe - In that case, you may wish to obtain a new MYO slot or trade the existing design for an MYO Slot with equivalent traits.
We want to assist you in making your dream designs without causing harm to others, even if unintentional. AW0001 aims to build an inclusive community, and part of this is helping others understand when something could be harmful and working together to learn and find a path forward. We thank you for and appreciate your understanding.
Payment
Payment is taken through PayPal (USD) unless stated otherwise.
You may also use our In-Game-Currency (Card Credit (CC)) to purchase specific items, if stated, such as MYO Slots.
You may trade or gift CC to other users. CC is not sellable for real-life cash.
Payments are to be made within 24 hours unless otherwise discussed.
Sales are final, and there will be no refunds. Buybacks may be discussed but are unlikely.
Trait changes, the retirement of traits, or changes to the species are not retroactive. No refunds are given for such a situation.
Charge-backs will result in an automatic blocklist and revocation of ownership of the design.
Blocklisted individuals will not be allowed to return to the group. Their MYO designs will be retired and not eligible as part of the species even if purchased by a non-blacklisted party.
Conduct within the Group
Member Conduct
While Aw0001 only permits 18+ members, we aim to be a fun group and would like to minimize discussion of triggering subjects (ex., suicide, mental health). We are willing to talk about it but do not encourage using Aw0001 as a dumping ground.
We are an LGBTQIAP+ friendly server and CS.🏳️🌈
Be civil and polite to each other, even if you don't get along with the other party. Please respect people's boundaries.
Please minimize comments regarding negative perceptions of your art or compliment fishing as this may cause distress to both you and other members.
Do not give feedback or crit without another member's explicit go-ahead.
Do not harass/target others. A warning will be issued if you do so.
While we do not encourage off-branding/fanCS, the team discourages and disapproves of harassing users who create such designs. A warning will be issued.
Do not make unsolicited offers on designs, slots, or traits belonging to other members unless they are actively seeking to rehome or trade.
We have a range of people from different cultural and country backgrounds and ages; this may shape how they type and perceive the world. Do not browbeat others into your point of view. Always ask for clarification if you're unsure of what's being said instead of jumping to conclusions.
Avoid jokes about taking someone's OC, slots, or traits unless you two are familiar and have an understanding related to this. Other members may not appreciate these sorts of statements.
Warning System
We do not intend to micromanage our members and give warnings without good reason. However, we want to emphasize that we can keep the community safe. Please reach out to us either through our suggestion box or directly if you have a problem.
You will be given up to three formal warnings through the server ticket system if you break specific rules frequently, actively engage in drama with other members in this server, or cause harm to other outside members in a way that could affect our community.
Do not harass other members to give you their designs. You will be issued a warning for this.
Do not harass users whom you suspect to have an unofficial design. You will be issued a 2-strike warning for this.
We will issue you a warning if you're joining AW0001 to promote adopts and run. We are not an advertising server.
Certain things will result in an immediate ban, such as posting sexual images or gore in our Discord Server.
Sexual gore or real-life gore is not permitted. You will be banned without warning if you post these things in the Discord.
DO NOT SEND PORN TO OTHER USERS WITHOUT THEIR EXPLICIT PERMISSION. This is inclusive of real, drawn, or generated porn. Doing the previous action is cause for a 2-strike warning.
We do not monitor and will not monitor what our members post or do to their designs outside of our sphere (Discord, Toyhouse), unless this may cause harm to our community.
Tracing We do not look kindly on users tracing art, stealing art, or art bashing without permission from the original creator of the art bashed images. We will speak to you personally if we believe you have done so. If we find that the art falls in this category within a reasonable doubt, we will issue you a two-strike warning. If we have reason to believe that you are a serial tracer, you will be banned immediately.
Tracing and art bashing is a legitimate learning tool used in professional art with photos the artist has taken themself or has legal permission. We are okay with the second and third points but not the first. Do not submit such art.
We will also consider if the artist is no longer actively tracing. If the user is no longer tracing we will not take action.
We aim to be a healthy and safe community. We do not condone drama of any sort and reserve the right to remove you from the community if you do so. The following is a loose list of things that could result in your removal:
Abuse or harassment of our moderators in ANY form.
Starting fights with our moderators or owner.
Abuse of any of your fellow members, including calling out another member publicly.
Ask for a moderator if you're unsure for mediation purposes or contact the other member directly to resolve this situation. » Please state if you want a second opinion only and not to reach out to the other user for mediation purposes.
Discord Conduct
AW0001 has a Discord where members may meet and interact with each other. These rules stem from existing situations the mods experienced or witnessed across the mod team's time working both as moderators for this community and other closed species/ non-closed species servers.
Overview Be respectful to your fellow members. If you have a problem with someone, please contact one of the staff.
This server is 18+ but please no explicit porn, NSFW pics, or extended discussion regarding mental health, drugs, politics, etc. We aim for this server to be lighthearted and a chill place to hang. Please do not use Aw0001s as a dumping ground.
We do not intend to have a full NSFW channel and advise you to read the NSFW rules below.
We are an LGBTQIAP+ friendly server and CS.🏳️🌈
Please be polite to your fellow members and minimize braggadocious discussion regarding adopts or obsessive monitoring of any Aw0001-related payment. Try to reduce any compulsive picking on the number (or lack thereof) of MYO slots you may/may not possess.
Please minimize comments over negative perceptions of your art or compliment fishing as this may cause distress to both you and other members.
Be courteous regarding free requests - refrain from making comments about missing request openings, hogging art requests, or begging people for free art.
Bring any hacker-related statements/warnings to the moderation team directly via our ticketing system. Some of these may be hoaxes, and we want to make sure you get the correct information.

Sexual gore or real-life gore is not allowed. You will be banned without warning if you post these things.
