I've been thinking about the "No OC angenis are allowed to have domains" rule. I think that it ought to be changed to allow OC angenis to have domains. Why? Because it's suuuuuuch a gray area, and there is no real need for it.
For example... say you get an angeni, great! It has a domain. After you get your angeni, you decide you want other pets based off that angeni so you collect it in some other shops. The rules say that if you base your angeni off pre-existing pets it counts as an OC so can't have a domain... but what if you get other pets based off your angeni after the angeni already has a domain? Does it lose a domain, simply because you love the character so much you want to play it elsewhere? Or is it a loophole that allows you to collect pets so long as you get the angeni first?
I think a lot of us would agree here that our soquili become our OCs. We spend a lot of time thinking up backgrounds and personalities. I don't see the distinction between one type of OC and another.
For copy-righted character cosplays, sure. I understand that they don't get domains. It's a simple enough rule and easy to understand and police. I just think that allowing OC angenis to have domains would clear up a ton of confusion and eliminate a rule that doesn't really help the soq community at all.
Potential ways/reasons that the current rule could be confusing: - What if you create an angeni, get a domain, and then get pets based off that angeni? What then? - What if you're questing for an angeni with a domain but are gifted a soq or another pet based off that design by a friend? Can you not get your domain then?
Where does the OC end and the soquili begin?
Dragain Honestly, I think OCs should have domains if made as an Angeni because for many of us, any character we play quickly becomes an "OC' in his/her own right. Besides, OCs are original characters - if I get a custom angeni, give her the domain of "Perfection" and name her "Mary Sue Me", she's my "original character" because I came up with her. She's my original creation and if anyone comes up with a Soq named Mary Sue Me with the domain of Perfection after she had been created, I can say that the person had copied my concept!

Speaking as an owner who's customed 3 Angenis, I do believe that Theme and Domain are the same thing. Winston's "Theme" is the 'King of Hearts' and has been claimed in the Master Cosplay, Theme and Reserved Cosplays thread. On his cert is says: Theme, instead of Domain.
While with, say, Akari's cert says Domain and is claimed in the thread as well.
-Lol isn't the clearest speaker, but you get what I mean?- I believe that its all in the custom form when you fill it out. If you didn't list your Soquili as having a Domain, they didn't get one. edit: Also, I believe that if you won your's in an event, that unless they weren't specifically said to have a domain, they wouldn't receive one either. That's just a guess though from what I've seen.

Nymphalidae AlexiaSilver Taken from the Custom form for the Angeni's: Domain (one word for horse's personality): Breed: Theme (one word/theme where power/ability comes from): I can see this as being confusing. xD Ahh, yeah, that is confusing... looks like Domain was supposed to be Temper there. I'd definitely love to see certs for Angeni with themes/domains be more consistent -- I've seen some where it's on the stat part of the cert itself, and some where the theme/domain is only listed on the bottom of the cert... seems like an easy way to miss what's taken and what's not. I'd think that if something were already taken, it'd be down in the link that I gave in my first post to the Reserved Cosplays thread. In there it has all of the Already made Domains/Themes for Angenis. :3
