Hello, Traveler! Welcome to our small species and the world of Battle Furballs!

Right now, we are still in process of refining, updating and adding stuff to the site and species in general. We will update and polish everything with time, but for now bare with us as we continue to work!

Before continuing, make sure you read the species ToS and Guidelines!

 

Registration

For now, it's mandatory to be on our discord server to get the registration code and be able to fully partake in the species.

To gain the full control of your account, you must have a DeviantArt or ToyHouse account to connect them in your profile!

  1. Register your account.
    To register your account, click "Register" on the right side of the navigation bar. We recommend choosing a username similar to the one you use on other sites and social media, to help with character owner recognition.
    To obtain a code for registration, you should be on our discord server! (For now)

  2. Confirm your email.
    Confirmation emails can take some time to arrive, please be patient and wait at least 5–10 minutes (or even 24 hours) and check spam folder before resending another one. If even after that you did not receive your confirmation email, contact AmIYourHiro on discord!

  3. Connect your DeviantArt or Toyhouse to verify your account.
    To connect DA [DeviantArt] or TH [Toyhouse] to your account, log in, open your profile and navigate to the settings tab. Here you will be asked to link your DA or TH account to fully verify your site account.
    We do not have any access or control over your DA / TH account through it! This just allows you to confirm your identity and helps in keeping 1 account per user.

If you have some issues with your registration, please contact AmIYourHiro on discord!

 

Profile setup

Now, with your account verified, you can customize your profile as you wish.

However, have in mind that your profile should NOT have:

  • NSFW imagery (Will result in a warning at first, at worst an account ban)
  • Flickering images / GIFs / videos in your profile (Will result in a warning at first, at worst an account ban)
  • Political / radical imagery or slurs (Will result in a warning at first, at worst an account ban. Anything extreme will result in a ban without warning!)

 

How and where to get a BFB

Battle Furballs (BFBs) are a closed species, so they cannot be freely made and distributed.
But you do not need to have a BFB to join our community and partake in most of the events!

You can obtain BFB by:

  • Getting a one free MYO from the shop
    For the FTO users, we have a free Common MYO available in the shop here. You can check the MYO guide here for more info about MYOs.

  • Winning them in the events or raffles
    We love to host some events and raffles for the community, and we have a system of seasonal events that are always in progress throughout the seasons! Most of the time you can win a MYO slot, but rarely a premade design too.

  • Getting MYO or character as a gift or in trade with members
    You can get MYO as a gift or trade art/character/items for it, but before doing so, please read the rules about trading. (Needs to be refined)

  • Purchasing a MYO (Make Your Own) slot
    You can purchase them by contacting AmIYourHiro and getting a money voucher for the shop. Price starts at 20 USD for the Uncommon slot. You can check the MYO guide here for more info about MYOs.
    Have in mind that members of the community CANNOT sell a MYO slot. If you see this happening, please contact us!

  • Purchasing adopts or customs from an official artist / staff team / owners
    Prices may vary from designer to designer and really depends on the rarity and traits! Adopts are usually cheaper than customs, since custom characters require much more work and may have almost anything you want to see on your character.

 

I got / have BFB, what to do now?

You can do anything that is allowed by the rules. You can create a unique story for your character, partake in events and trade them for other design if you wish to! 

If you want to add a story or edit the name of your character, you can do it by going to your character masterlist entry, clicking "edit profile" and adjusting the name or description. You can not adjust the home region by yourself, if you want it to be changed, you can contact the staff team! 

 

I have more questions!

If you still have questions about something related to starting with the species, feel free to contact staff! They will be happy to help you! :)
