> Soul Pool < (DC Submissions with Items)

Soul Pool is for submitting Tokotas while applying decor items (Small & Large Items, Scar Packs, Hand Paints, Sikrinerk & Borga Stones, Sivoganik Charms, Meelaniks Jinxes, etc.), Soul Pool Water (physical traits), PotA Tokens, and HP Tokens.

Please note: You must have items already in your bank, have a link to admin proof of the item, or intend to purchase the items in DC. 

See Import Decoration Items Guide for information and guidelines on Small Items, Large Items, Scar Packs, and Hand Paints.

Please see the Passage of the Alpha Journal for more information on the requirements and benefits of PotA Tokens. HP Tokens can only be added to submissive genos to get them to average upon approval.

If your design was skipped in the queue or accepted, but not uploaded, there is a chance it may have been misplaced by accident. Please note that designs may take up to a week to be uploaded.

FAQ

How do I link a sta.sh file in Eclipse?

After pasting your sta.sh file, you must also link the thumbnail to your sta.sh file or it will only show up as an image preview. Use our tutorial here to correctly post your sta.sh file.

My design was accepted, can I delete the sta.sh?

No! Please do not delete the sta.sh file of your design until it is uploaded. If it is deleted before then, there is no way for us to upload your Tokota.

Why do I have to list the full geno? Can't I just put which number it is?

Unfortunately no, we need the number and the full geno in order for uploaders to properly identify which genos are being designed and uploaded. Failure to provide the full form will result in a correction.

How do I choose a base coat? Can I combine the parents' bases? Can I make my own version of a base coat?

You must choose a base coat directly from one of the following: a swatch from Design Guide: Base Coats, a special base coat swatch from Design Guide: Special Base Coats if a special base coat carrier is in your tokota's lineage, or directly from a relative in your tokota's lineage (if their base coat is legal). It is generally best to pick from the swatches, as it avoids any possible problems with your color picking from an uploaded tokota. You cannot combine two base coats, or create your own version of a base coat (for example, a non-cream version of a parent's cream base coat).

What are the rules for Makeovers and Do-Overs?

You can find out more about Makeovers and Do-Overs here: Makeover and Do-Over Token Instructions.
