Rules for species

An original species. No species, brands or characters from other films, series, books or games, and none of the species of IKAREE.
No real people, no sexual content, no hate and no instructions for causing harm.
Your species card and its portrait are public: other visitors and, later, players of IKAREE will see them. Your e-mail address never is.
You give IKAREE a non-exclusive licence to show and use your species in the Living Universe and in the game. You stay its author.
The author of the game approves every species before day 0 and can hide one later if it breaks the rules.

One species per e-mail address. More questions and answers.
