  2. Our site is used solely for storage of Canon-based Characters / Character-Based Characters (CBCs), meaning the character must be based off of an existing media/Intellectual Property.

    1. People involved in an exchange/transaction are responsible, so take precautions when necessary.

  5. Only upload art and designs that you have permission to upload outside of Toyhouse and Species sites. Please check the artist’s Terms of Service as we will require proof that the artist granted permission for upload outside of those sites, or their TOS that says it is allowed.

    1. If you are uploading a CBC from an Original Species, you must link back to the masterlist of that specific character for the sake of upkeep and ownership transferring.

  7. When submitting your CBC, be sure to credit and list the source properly. (IE. Xiao from Genshin Impact, owned by Hoyoverse).
