September Update
Posted 1 day ago :: Last edited 1 day ago by AnarchismeHello! First off, sorry for being late on this, the admin team is currently experiencing a lot of Life Chaos, but we wanted to get out an update anyways. We're also not sure who's going to be on monthly update duties for sure, but it's me, Anar, for now! Hello!
Wanderers

If you want in on nice slots, check out the Wanderer Slot Raffle!
Wanderers are now no longer guaranteed to drop new genes, but they were dropping pretty well before the guarantee honestly so uh good luck have fun!
Bounty
The Monthly Bounty is located on the deviantArt page for the group! This month's bounty is:
Embla says:
"I'm helping out with some controlled burns in the Kandriya area. It might seem odd to deliberately set fire to the forest, but it helps clear out the underbrush and spurs new growth. Mind lending a paw yourself and keeping the flames away from settlements?"
Current Events
Singing Vale Raid Soon
The Singing Vale is at 201/250 points towards a raid at time of writing this - a raid will be happening somewhat soon! Get your ketucari's skills and armor ready to take on Hianlian! Remember that Hianlian's attacks will be scaled to your ketucari's armor, so even low-armor ketucari can enter - armor does affect some things, however, such as amount healed!
Broken Images
We are aware that many images are broken in guides and zone pages and the like - deviantArt changed the tokens in art that was somewhat older (maybe 2+ years old? unsure) and a lot of linked images broke as a result, whether stashed or posted. Someone will be going through and fixing them soon, we just need to find the time. Please bear with us!
And that's probably all for now! See you in October, most likely earlier in the month, haha. Take care (:
The Wanderer Slot Raffle Season 4
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 3 weeks ago by NoirmoriThe Wanderers
Current Wanderers
Every month, the group will be raffling off one slot to each of the above ketucari! There are no restrictions on the usage of these slots.
Each slot also comes with a "built in" Sundisk of Nyssa, so that you may breed them with a male or female ketucari. They also do not require a litter guard.
You may enter once per ketucari, but you may only win one Wanderer slot total for the month.
Wanderers may be bred together if you happen to collect more than one slot over the course of a few months.
How to Enter


-i.e. Players 1, 2 and 3 collab on a piece with Manghild, Liatris, and Hen'ri. Player 1 can use the piece to enter for Manghild, Liatris, or Hen'ri, but not all three. Player 2 can do the same, as well as Player 3.

Entries cannot double-dip into multiple raffles unless stated otherwise. Noted exceptions are the Annual WaLoS Raffle, and the Annual Eros and Firn slot raffles. Any other Event Raffles are a "no" unless stated otherwise.
This includes the raffles and draw to adopts in other species.
This mostly applies to literature, as it's harder to have blatant disrespect in visual mediums. However, as a bit of a rubric for the sorts of things that might ping as disrespectful:
-Non-spoken lines making fun of the character (such as calling them "gross")
-high number of "in character" or spoken lines making fun of the character
-calling them "it" (or any other pronoun) in a way that deprives the character of personhood
-entries that feel like they were written from a place of Disliking the character (we understand this is subjective, and other factors will be looked at)
-entries using the character as a mouthpiece for any sorts of views that deny other characters (or any people, groups of people, or cultures) personhood and basic dignity
-entries using the character as a vessel to insult other characters, players, admins, or other species

-i.e. if you are the only person to put in an entry on both Temotepis and Cape, you may choose which slot you would prefer to get, instead of receiving Temotepis by default.


Yearly Import Raffle
-CURRENTLY CLOSED-
Before we get started we need to establish a few things, however. As the Wanderers are not just fancy imports but characters you all have been developing through the year, we want to make the ownership rules clear.








With that established, here is how

Current Wanderers are due to be adopted out on March 1st, 2024
The Veluchasm Festival!
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 4 weeks ago by Anarchisme
The Veluchasm Festival!
Runs August 1, 2023 - 11:59 PM August 31, 2023 (Pacific Time)
We have drinks, streamers, sparklers, and aliens, no matter which world you’re celebrating on! The denizens of Velukaelo and those of the Chasm-Connected worlds have been aware of each other for years, and our celebration is back and better than ever!
While Ketucari and Rixixi have had relationships every now and again, something new has started to spring up - a hybrid species referred to as the Ketixi! With the help of B-NOMALY mechanic Steele and expert engineer Kenkasei, the B-NOMALY’s breeding safety machine was altered with tarn water to safely join the genes of Rixixi and Ketucari while filtering out all sorts of possible issues. While it is possible to create a Ketixi naturally, it is rare, so we recommend use of the machine!
Something else new has cropped up again - with further experiments to the breeding safety machine, Ketucari and B-NOMALIES have been able to hybridize into what passes as a bipedal companion on Velukaelo and a subtype of B-NOMALY in the Chasm! KETU-NOMALIES stand mostly bipedally, and have a few K-NOM specific traits such as Godkiller Face and Godkiller Hands due to their heritage!
Species Information: Ketixi
Other Feather Types: Bald | Fantail | Frizzle | Harpy | Jacobin | Lucerne | Nicobar | Phoenix | Silkie
A hybrid of Ketucari and Rixixi, Ketixi are bulky, muscular quadrupeds. Appearing similar to a combination of a Primal subspecies of Rixixi and a Ketucari no matter their actual Rixixi heritage, they primarily stand on four legs, but can walk in a bipedal stance for a short time, similar to ursines. Much like Rixixi, the Ketixi breathes through a vent system, visible on their sides. Much like Ketucari, they have a combination of fur and feathers covering their body, and their frill - both spiked and leathery as well as covered in feathers - is extremely expressive.
They are approximately the size of a Standard build Ketucari, standing 16-20 hands tall at the shoulder. Rixixi commonly measure their quadrupeds by length, and Ketixi are comparable to a large Primal, measuring 12-16 feet long from snout to tailtip on average.
Ketixi are all some form of intersex due to their Rixixi heritage. Due in part to their unusual heritage, they are all sterile.
Species Information: KETU-NOMALY
A hybrid of Ketucari and B-NOMALY, KETU-NOMALIES are classed as a subtype of B-NOMALY in the Chasm-Connected worlds, and as a bipedal companion in Velukaelo. Standing at around 3 feet tall (unless altered by mutations such as Giant, Dragon Body Type, or Always Anthro), these hybrids have B-NOMALY bodies and mutations, while bearing Ketucari-like faces (albeit with a second mouth covered in a beak like a B-NOMALY) and Ketucari-like hands, as well as modified B-NOMALY tails that appear closer to typical Ketucari tails.
Regardless of heritage, their Ketucari traits always appear similarly to standard Ketucari. They have access to all B-NOMALY mutations including Fogholder.
Despite their interspecies heritage, K-NOMs can breed, but only with other B-NOMALIES.
When filling out a form to create a KETU-NOMALY companion, please include both the Companion Race form and the B-NOMALY traits used.
Ketixi Breeding
Each player can enter ONE KETUCARI and ONE RIXIXI into a breeding to get one Ketixi geno per breeding! Ketucari and Rixixi must both be breedable (or a starter) for this event, but the breedings will not reduce their total slots!
To enter a starter, you must do at least a colored headshot or 100 words of that starter!
You have 1 Breeding by default! By entering 2 of the main events and the advertising bonus here, you may obtain up to 3 additional breedings!
Breedings will not be subject to Matriarch Kills or infertility penalties. Breedings will be subject to radiation sickness and inbreeding penalties if relevant. Breeding boosters may not be used. Rixixi are considered to have a disk automatically and can breed with any ketucari gender-wise. These are all considered full litters to you, but you can do what you please with the cubs afterwards.
Starters with lineage skills, Wanderers, and Mechanix may not be rented for this event.
Splits are disabled for this event, as breedings here will only result in one cub every time.
To enter, go HERE and comment with the following form:

Permission:

Dam:
Permission:
Additional Information: [If you’re leasing a starter, the art goes here. Any other relevant information goes here, such as links to proofs for additional breedings.]
Ketixi Semicustoms
Would you rather have something definite than a random breeding? Having trouble picking out a good pair? Have we got an option for you. You can trade in one of your breedings for a semicustom! The semi will come with 4 Common Markings, 2 Uncommon Markings, and 2 Mutations by default, and you can add on items to increase that amount.
Combination Mutations count as rare genes, but the 2 mutations can be used to make a combination mutation if desired.
To increase the default further, you can draw a colored headshot gift of someone else's Ketucari.com or Chasmho.me character (any species as long as they have an import!) for a Rare gene OR Feather type. To get BOTH a Rare gene AND Feather type, you can upgrade that gift art to a colored fullbody! Make sure the other person's character is marked as open for gift art, or ask first! Gifting art to starters and NPCs does not count for this.
This trade can only be done twice per Veluchasm event.
One can optionally be a Cloning Vat style semi-custom (with the Cloning Vat item included and not needing to be used), with details HERE.
To trade for a Semicustom, go to THIS THREAD with this information!
Breeding proof: [If it was your original breeding, just state as such]
Desired genes:
Other information: [Such as gift art or details for Cloning Vat! Make sure to also send your gift art manually, Lorekeeper doesn't ping in comments]
Design Station
Intimidated by mutations? Lost? Busy? You can request a design from an admin HERE! - just link to your Ketixi geno!
You can specifically request Anarchisme or IIIXKitsuneXIII as designer if desired!
Designs may take a bit longer than last year's average time due to outstanding obligations. Sorry! Life stuff, yknow
Slot Gifting
Have a breedable Ketucari or Rixixi that you want to give slots out for this event, but are unsure how to do that for this since slots aren’t used? Use THIS THREAD to give a slot to a specific player (or give permission for anyone at all to use the slot), with this form! The Ketucari and Rixixi discords are good places to advertise your Ketu/Ixi’s breedable services, so why not sign up?
Please specify if you want your slot to be available for Cloning Vat semicustoms. Cloning Vat slots cannot be signed to Anyone, they have to be to a specific user.
As these do not take from your Ketucari or Rixixi's slot count, slots for this should be gifted, not sold - they should generally be free. Putting them up for pay what you want offers is allowed as long as free is an option. There can be an option to pay as long as it is not a requirement! Thank you!

Technical Details
Ketixi are infertile and cannot breed. They can only be obtained in this event - they will not be able to be obtained via semicustoms, build changes, fogshards, or other methods.
KETU-NOMALIES can breed, but only with B-NOMALIES. They can be obtained in the Veluchasm event or through regular Companion-obtaining means, but cannot be obtained through Chasmhome MYOs. Godkiller traits for B-NOMALIES are only obtainable through these methods or through passing them down in breeding, they are not available in MYOs, trait swaps, and otherwise. KETU-NOMALIES will not have a lineage due to not being bred, except for certain raffle KETU-NOMALIES, this is just as a bit of a fun fact about where they came from.
Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES will be uploaded to both Chasmhome and Ketucari’s lorekeeper. These imports will have separate stats and some separate details, such as which companions will be uploaded to them, what items they can equip, and so on. The Chasmhome upload can be used on Chasmhome and uses items/quests/prompts native to that site, and Ketucari’s can be used on Ketucari.com and uses Ketucari items/quests/prompts. Rolls of Ketixi and KETU-NOMALIES can double-dip on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. Visual changes carry over to both uploads - if a Ketucari background is used, it will display on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. If a K-NOM's trait is changed on Chasmhome, the image will be changed on Ketucari to reflect that. If an element is learned via Chasmhome and leveled up to the point that it can display, it can display on both Ketucari and Chasmhome. Similar things can double up - you can have an elemental blessing and display elemental radiation.
As a result of their double import, Ketixi need to be submitted to both design approvals. There is a Ketixi thread in Ketucari and Rixixi’s design approval - use two separate stash files, one with Ketucari’s import details and one with Rixixi’s, and drop these off in the individual threads.
However, to keep things simple, KETU-NOMALIES only need to be submitted to the regular companion approvals with a modified form. Please include both the form found at Companion Races as well as all B-NOMALY traits used in the design so we can properly approve them.
Ketixi have a limited gene pool as well as several genes combined from both species. To exist on the Ketixi list, there must be a similar gene on both species. The full list is HERE, on the second tab!
You may use geno-editing items on your Ketixi, such as tokens, fogshard pieces, and statues. Tokens do not have a limit for Ketixi. If using a token/fogshard gene that was fused from two genes for Ketixi to make a new unique gene (eg. Sunny Ember), either the relevant fogshard or token will work. (a Sun Chrono fogshard, an Ember token). Supercharged Alchemy fogshards cannot trade the unique fused genes to a Rixixi, as they cannot be on regular Rixixi.
Mutations must be added by the designer, mutation bases will not be made for Ketixi. Mutations that exist in Rixixi and Ketucari can both pass on the same geno - double albinism is possible, for instance. Horns use Rixixi rules - they are fully customizable and can go anywhere on the head. You can use Ketucari bases for Ketixi horns if desired, but you will have to move them to make them fit.
If a Rixixi Fur Mutation passes, you will be asked what feather type you want it to be replaced by. This may change in the future if we run this event again and more Fur Mutations are released by then!

Important News! Future of Group in relation to DeviantArt. New Things, too!
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by IIIXKitsuneXIIIHello everybody, Admin Kitsu here, with... some things to talk about.
As I'm sure many have noticed, our activity on Deviant Art itself has dropped to almost zero. Those outside the discord have probably not seen much from us either which we apologize for. We might have a bit of a record of forgetting news updates, but we're hoping to have a monthly one during roll-over from here forward, at least to update things like the Monthly Bounty, announce Wanderer Slot winners and group events and such.
Thing is that that's been made all but impossible on DeviantArt. All news has resultingly been confined to ketucari.com and the discord server. And... honestly, that's not likely to change. We are moving away from DeviantArt as much as humanly possible.
All future events and news will be Here, on Ketucari.com
Why? Well, the short version is that DeviantArt has made itself hostile to the artists it claims to support and protect. We have documented evidence that they have been dishonest about DreamUp. They continue to ignore Groups, make DeviantArt as unfriendly to its users as it can be, and generally make life unpleasant for everyone on dA. Things like Sta.sh comments not giving notifications anymore, the deletion of notifications more than a year old which makes it hard to hold onto genos and breeding slot proofs, us not really having a way to notify users on dA about anything because we can't post journals FROM the group anymore.
So. We're slowly trying to move the entire group to ketucari.com.
All the future news updates? They're going to be here. If you aren't regularly checking ketucari.com for news we highly highly recommend that you start, because our dA news updates will be tapering off.
Events are fully ported to the site. All activities and events are here now, we have our own gallery, even!
The Orphanage is halfway ported. We have frameworks in place for a number of other features.
We're still in discussing how to port things like Packs and the Pack Hoard. We're making progress on that with Raptor's help.
So it's a long, slow, and very work intensive project, and things are frankly going to suck in the interim. We're currently split between two sites and as a result, one site flourishes while the other's kinda been left behind.
Which we Do apologize for. It's unfair that we've neglected the DeviantArt users, and we will try to do better when and where we can. But also, if you haven't moved to ketucari.com yet... you're going to need to to continue playing ketucari. We're sorry. It sucks, we know.
And in the meantime: It's really really difficult to put ketucari news on deviantart. Groups can't post journals anymore because you know, why would a group need a central location to update its members? Not everyone follows matriarchs-haunt so we can't just put news there, dA made navigating your notification feed a crapshoot based on how it's set up and if you're on mobile or not and frankly we've been at a loss on it for over a year.
However, more presently and in much happier news!
With the release of Wanderers Season 4 we have new genes out!
Specifically we have:
Color Mofifier: Ghost!
Color Mutations: Maltese and Sunwashed
White Mark (Modifier): Patchwork
Marking Modifiers: Tail Rings, Unnatural Segmented, and Wave
Markings: Plasma, Solaris, Wrought (as well as Wrought's modifier, Noisy Wrought), and Luster!
And new Primary Horns: Impala and Orbit!
In addition, we have 5 new Skills (Specifically Boons!) to go with our crafting system!
Lapidary
Use: Your ketucari has a chance to salvage ingredients when making Armorsmithing recipes, or double the results of them.
Apothecary
Use: Your ketucari has a chance to salvage ingredients when making Alchemy recipies, or double the results of them.
Antiquarian
Use: Your ketucari has a chance to salvage ingredients when making Archaeology recipies, or double the results of them.
Artificer
Use: Your ketucari has a chance to salvage ingredients when making Engineering recipes, or double the results of them.
Gourmet
Use: Your ketucari has a chance to salvage ingredients when making Cooking recipes, or double the results of them.
We added 14 new theme pairs!
Teamwork / Hinderance
Task / Idle
Give / Receive
Sensitive / Apathetic
Strain / Relax
Retain / Forsake
Occupy / Surrender
Command / Neglect
Destroy / Protect
Treacherous / Forthright
Liar / Honest
Leverage / Disadvantage
Ambush / Bombard
Smug / Modest
NSFW rolls are now allowed in all activities of the group except for Raids!
Yes this includes battles, but please ask the admins if a fauna is sapient before including it in sexual content.
Pack Games have been moved on site!
AND
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL STARTER SLOTS HAVE BUILT IN SUN DISKS. This applies retroactively to unused existing starter slots.
We do hope to be better about making news updates from here on out, we promise we're not dead.
Thank you for your time and patience!
Small news!
Posted 3 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by Matriarchs-HauntHey everybody!
The discord's already been informed, but due to some weirdness on dA, we very hastily needed to port Design Approvals to ketucari.com
This was already planned to happen as part of our ongoing efforts to remove ourselves from Deviant Art, but has been forced to happen ahead of schedule.
To explain what caused this abrupt change: The Design Approval journal was forcibly flagged as Mature, with no way for us to undo it and no contact from DeviantArt to the Haunt informing us or giving us a chance to fix whatever was wrong, and thus far no response to the ticket about it. We discovered it was flagged by chance when Anar tried to view the journal while logged out. So far, no other journals are affected that we are aware of at this time, but if you find one please tell an admin via Notes or DMs immediately.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of moving off dA... this does mean that Design Approvals now requires a ketucari.com account. We had hoped to be able to give more warning about this, but deviantart forced our hand.
A larger news post about the migration off of deviant art is coming Soon.
2023 Pride Month
Posted 3 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by AnarchismePride Month: Velukaelo Style

Baker here is our new Pride starter - a gay man himself, he's excited to join in the celebration! He's happy to make your acquaintaince! Baker carries the Sun's Gift lineage skill:
-Baker slots may not be sold for real life currency, or traded outside of Ketucari
-If the Winner of the slot chooses to use the slot in a Split breeding, the Winner of the slot must get Pick of the Litter. This is to prevent more experienced players from taking advantage of newbies, which we have been seeing more of as of late.
June Breedings!
And More!

Firstly, keep in mind this raid, like all raids, will last a maximum of 1 month! You are free to enter ketucari at any point in the raid. There is no signup deadline!
Regardless of Danuoc's health, the raid will last for at least two weeks.
Since the raid boss has a set health this go around, there is a possibility that admins will adjust her health as needed. We will notify the group if so.
Pack Weapons are newly active as of this raid! Pack weapons can be activated if at least one player with a raid-entered ketucari in a pack depicts their ketucari and at least one other pack member interacting with weapons in some way (brandishing them, carrying them, setting them up, etc). Once Pack Weapons have been activated, humanoid forms get a 20% damage boost and missed attacks have a 50% chance to be corrected (doom is simply rerolled instead of having a 50% chance to be fixed)
Boss Details

The boss we will be battling is the majestic Danuoc! You can read more about her on her Pantheon page.
Danuoc's Attacks
If you need some inspiration, you may depict Danuic using one of her special attacks against your ketucari!
War Dance: After taking the fight to the land, Danuoc leaps around in confusing movements before suddenly pouncing on you.
Raging Rapids: Danuoc drags you by the tail into the rapids of her river, swinging you against river rocks like a ragdoll!
Death Roll:Danuoc grabs you in her jaws and drags you underwater before spinning around violently!
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR RAID ENCOUNTERS

To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Fighter or Raid- Medic prompts on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece.

-
You must own the ketucari you use in the raid. No leasing is allowed.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY PIECES:
-
Sexual content is not allowed for raid entries.

Literature entries must be at least 100 words and be centered around your ketucari gathering resources (gathering food, healing herbs, wood, etc.) to help with the battle.
-
Art entries, at minimum, should be loose, uncolored sketches with the hint of a background resembling the respective zone. They do not require shading.
-
What your ketucari is doing is up to you! Are they collecting wood or herbs to assist the raid? Using magic to allow enhance or protect the fighters? Keep in mind however, that your ketucari should not be depicted battling the boss or healing the fighters (as that falls under fighter/medic participation), and it should be clear that your ketucari is supporting the raid. In other words, no showing off your magic in an empty field!
-
There is a maximum of 4 ketucari per piece. Collaborations are allowed.
To submit a piece, please use the Raid- Support prompt on the ketucari website for each ketucari in the piece. A seperate submission needs to be made for each ketucari in the piece and they will each need a link to both their DA import and ketucari.com import included.

ROULETTE LITTERS - 15 USD EACH
- “Roulette litter” means that the sire and dam are randomly chosen out of all available starters. Specific starters cannot be requested, as this defeats the purpose of the randomness.
- Each litter will contain 2-4 cubs.
- An admin will randomly roll which sire and which dam will be used for your litter, then roll the resulting cubs. This is done purely by RNG, which will also be determining the litter size. The parents, as well as the litter itself, will be posted to Breeding Requests and you will be notified once it's up! After that, what you decide to do with the cubs is up to you! They are yours to keep, sell, trade, etc.
