Species
There are several species in the mysterious Defur'ii Isles, but the principal one is Auteryx. Auteryx are a marine dinosauroid species that inhabit the Defur'ii Isles, and are the focus of this website/closed species.
Auteryx are a mainly quadrupedal feral species that exist in a world in which dinosaurs never went extinct. Having been isolated in their island for quite some time, they have lost their ancestor's nimble, swift feet and near-ability to fly, but have instead become great swimmers, even becoming almost semi-aquatic!
Auteryx are a very intelligent species, having needed to use their brains to adapt to an often harsh island environment. They live in small settlements in several different parts of the island, and have several local traditions and histories that are all unique from each other.
About Auteryx (continued)
Auteryx are an open-traited species, meaning that almost all traits, minus mutations, are okay to use as long as they follow the species anatomy! They are a closed species, but we are doing our best to make this species accessible!
There are many ways Auteryx can be designed, as long as they follow the species anatomy and abide by our TOS, anything is fair game! Lore-wise, common colors and patterns include sandy, rocky hues, to match their environment.
Auteryx as a CS
As a closed species, Auteryx strives to have a fun community that is centered around auteryx themselves! Feel free to check out our social links for our platforms like Toyhou.se, Discord, and Instagram, where we often host fun games, events, adopts, etc. that often involve Auteryx!
The Defur'ii Isles
The Defur'ii Isles is the home of the Auteryx. It exists in a world in which dinosaurs never went extinct, allowing them to thrive and evolve in fascinating ways. As the Defur'ii Isles are very far away from the mainland, Auteryx are essentially isolated and have no idea what is going on in the rest of the world.
The world of the Defur'ii Isles, rooted in reality, technically do not have any magic/supernatural elements - but for your personal lore, you are free to imagine magic and such! This is also why traits such as "supernatural elements" are very rare; although they do not have an in-lore explanation, they can still occur.
Locations
Locations in the Defur'ii Isles can be found more in-depth in our locations page! They have lots of information on the types of Auteryx, flora, fauna, and history these areas have - which can be helpful to those who want to create a story cemented in the Defur'ii Isles.
Outside of the Isles
You may be wondering, if I have an Auteryx, do I have to have its story take place in the Defur'ii Isles? Ultimately, it is your character so you get the ultimate say; if you want your Auteryx to live in the Defur'ii Isles and follow the lore provided through the species, that is great! But if you want your Auteryx's story to take place elsewhere, in their own universe, that is fine too! Auteryx is supposed to foster creativity, so any way that is manifested is ultimately good!
Website Premise
This site is the official site of Auteryx, this means that all the species lore, user information, and masterlisting will take place here. Other activities will take place on our other platforms, like Toyhou.se and Discord! Since it is a pretty big site, here is a mini directory that will hopefully allow for more easier navigation.
