Hey all, just a second, I need to be unprofessional for a second, how are you, I'm

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

okay, now that we've gotten that out of the way

Hey, I've been under the weather for a while now and I was too out of it to think of how going off dA would effect the rollover to fall. (Going off of dA was mentioned in Veluchasm if you missed it) Let me take a day to get things ready while I make sure things are set up off dA properly and actually ready. Fall will be going up midday (mid-evening? I'm nocturnal, sorry!) 23rd of September. Sorry about that.

Feel free to get your last-minute Summer stuff in, I'll try and roll what I can after I get things prepped!

The Veluchasm Festival!

Runs August 11, 2023 - 11:59 PM - September 11, 2023 (Pacific Time)

Sorry for the delay! We were trying to figure out what to do about a dA problem! Details at the end!

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!

Further, the Manticore Alchemy Ring has taken to certain traits of Ketixi, making new Ketixi Manticores. This is... normal, we're sure. We're not going to question them. It's probably fine.

HELLO

Pride Month Extension

Sorry to only announce this on the 4th of July but I had a medical happen once again |D You're all good to submit things to the Pride event until the 14th. Have fun.

Apparently I never removed the dates from last year that said it was open to the 14th (albeit... 2023...) so, uh, it was meant to be.

Where is the meningitis/fireworks mechanix?

SORRY I HAVE A MIGRAINE WHICH IS VERY IRONIC FOR MENINGITIS SURVIVAL DAY. HONESTLY THIS IS VERY FUNNY. (IT'S MOSTLY AURAS NOW I'M OK)

I may be doing a late fireworks or meningitis mechanix but it will not be appearing on the 4th. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for understanding <:

Happy whatever you celebrate. See you soon!

Wingbeats jostled the waves, sending droplets of water pounding up into the air. A dwarf primal flew over the foamy surf to the beach. Something followed them, a shadow in the water, small but quick. The dwarf primal touched down, bare feet padding along the rocky shore. Colorful stones and polished glass glistened, wet and shining in the sunlight. Aurri leapt out of the surf to stand beside the primal, shaking off water briefly before looking over the shore. The wave rider whistled.

"It's beautiful," Aurri said. "Look what you've found, huh, Bede?"

Bede kicked at the sand and nodded, unsure what to say in response. Curious, the small Ixi started picking through the colorful items, looking for rocks of interest. Aurri knelt down beside them, looking back and forth across the colorful shore.

"Need any help?" Aurri piped up.

"No, I've got it," Bede nodded. "If you want to stay and pick up some too, go ahead."

Aurri smiled, jogging a bit across the beach and plopping down to sift through some pink and red glass. Just wait until they showed everyone else. They would love it here.

SUMMER Changelog

HELP SORRY THAT THIS IS LATE I'VE BEEN HAVING A MEDICAL

• This Summer's new starter is Bede, who just wants sea glass. He has five new genes:
• (all new genes this summer are Ketucari clones in preparation for the Veluchasm festival)
• New gene: Lycaon (nLyc/LycLyc). African Painted Dog gene.
• New gene: Oil Paint (nPnt/PntPnt), this was almost called Paint until I remembered Painted... this is basically wet koi
• New Gene: Ventspots (nVt/VtVt), side stripes
• New Gene: Aura (nAu/AuAu), adds iridescence to horns, nails, frills, eyes, skin, teeth, etc
• New Gene: Rainstreaks (nRn/RnRn), pale short streaks down the Ixi.
• There's a dA hub!
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over, please someone get these bugs out of my house, help

Everything should be rolled over, if you see something mentioning a season that's not summer let me know!

If anyone needs an extension on Pride Month let me know
Also it was mentioned in the discord, so in case I forget to put it on the actual Pride Month page: yes you can use a starter/NPC for Pride Month. if you want their identity ask an admin we might know
Bede is bi this is how this came up

hey

It's Pride Month.

Pride month is back up at the usual page! (well, it never left, but the links are active again, haha)
You can head there to check out the details and join in on the group collab image that we do every year! All Chasmhome species are welcome, anyone with an import or even just a reference for the non-import species is all good! Ketixi and K-NOMS 100% allowed, crossovers 100% allowed, I know that was a question last year and yes as long as the other group allows crossovers you are A-OK to go!

Have fun if you join in, we're looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!

While the payouts for the prompt mainly benefit Rixixi and B-NOMALIES, we're currently trying to figure out prompts for Aex and bonuses for Aex. I genuinely don't know how pride month bonuses will play into this! Working on it! Just a heads up!

.

Quick update on the geno transfer to MYOs:

it is still going, I swear, there are just so many genos so it's taking a bit fdggh. But it's going. I'm in the earlier quarters of the breeding journal, then I'll move to additional geno sources, like the initial X-NOM crossover, euphoria threads, the new breeding prompts, semicustoms, and so on. so if it seems like i'm skipping some it might be in another journal... oops.

Anyways, have fun, see you soon!

Hey, big thing going on here -

Rixixi News

DESIGN APPROVAL AND BREEDING (FOR RIXIXI) ARE CLOSED TEMPORARILY
(b-nom breedings are still open)

I am porting all genos to MYO slots! They will be linked on the breeding comment/live transmutation comment/etc for ease of finding where they've gone! THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE. Sorry in advance for the wait. When they're ported, Design Approval will reopen on this lorekeeper site, and breedings will open back up!

I know there is quite a backlog of designs and breedings - sorry about that, I was just having a hard time setting aside a good day for them! They will still be gotten to, they're still valid. However, if you are sent to corrections, it'll have to wait, corrections is Closed.

Sorry again for the wait, fingers crossed that this isn't too painful!

UPDATE:

If you have a MYO geno uploaded to the site, you're allowed to design it and upload it to the site. Please feel free to ask if you're confused by the process, I don't have a page written up for it yet but it's the same method as B-NOMALIES. I normally would prefer everyone to be on equal footing but I want to sort of test some beta features that were added to MYOs and so this would help me out greatly if anyone is interested. No pressure though, only if you have one you want to upload.

Semi-random trait update

B-NOMALY News

Polydactyl and Shell are now available for B-NOMALIES! As this was not due to an adoptable, they don't have examples, but hopefully the text is clear enough, let me know if it's not.

Multispecies news

Sleipnir on B-NOMS and Rixixi can display polydactyly without needing polydactyl! It made enough sense.

Enjoy!

Happy April fool's chaos, today we are actually playing an april fool's prank, the four Rixixi uploaded today are humans

(:

Manticores now have imports available! Being humans with extreme body mods and some gene splicing, some mutations are unavailable to them, and some have limitations, but they're still plenty moddable. Their head and facial hair are freely editable without items, along with their masks (masks being common in the Alchemy ring). They do need an item to breed with Rixixi, unless they're a starter - luckily, the Manticore Vat is cheap to craft at the Witchin' Kitchen, or to purchase at the Egg Shop or Event Shop!

Manticores will have an Illusionate-Glass Core, but I didn't have time to get it out right on launch, because I um. Kind of forgot they needed one until 5 hours ago. So that'll be coming soon, don't worry!

As always, there is an April Fools' event, and Chasm Eggs are floating about on 8 pages on Nsk Net! Go ahead and find them! If the items seem a bit underwhelming, it's because they're the crafting/purchasing cost for Manticore Vats, which are cheap! Though of course you don't have to spend it on that C:

More updates!

• There is a Manticore Semicustom option in the Chasm Egg Shop!
• Live Transmutation changes! The chance to roll a random number of markings and mutations dropped by 10% (down to 10%), and a 10% chance to combine into a Manticore was added!
• New starter: Mercury - a human (: . As a starter, Mercury can breed with Rixixi without the need for a Manticore Vat. You can get Mercury slots through the Mask Up mini-event listed in the April Event page!
• New NPCs: Cheshire's Coffee, Bouncer, and Baryonyx - humans (: This is the trio on the Live Transmutation banner!

Enjoy your gene spliced body modded human ARPG, I need to chill for a bit haha

The dwarf Primal lounged in the field, rolling side to side in contentment. Flowers bloomed all around her, wafting sweet scents up into the air. The mix of sunlight and a fresh spring breeze brushed just right over her scaled nostrils, causing the small Primal to sneeze. The Rixixi sat upright, cleaning her face off, as a shadow encroached on her personal space. Another Rixixi stood over her, almost looming due to her diminuitive stature and the other's status as a walking tree.

"Hey, Serri, didn't see you there," Shasta mlemmed her paw and rubbed it against her face, cleaning a speck of dirt from a scaly eye ridge. "What's shakin'?"

Serritana chuckled, shaking her head. "I thought you were heading out here to collect and deliver flowers for me, but you seem to be lounging by yourself."

"Oh!" The dwarf said, as if finally remembering what she was doing. "Serri, baby, there's flowers all around, take a look! Look at these sweet little daisies, come here. Aren't they cute? And then these little violets, they're small, but it's a nice pop of color. You can get some flowers right here, I'm telling you!"

The wandering willow pulled back, laughing but clearly baffled at being tugged around like a toy. It was true, however. She thumbed a daisy. The wildflowers were plentiful, and growing all over. They would make a welcome addition to her bouquets.

Spring Changelog

• This Winter's new starter is Shasta, for all your good vibes needs. She has three new genes:
• New gene: Skink (nSki/SkiSki), or Boar+. Skink is also lines down the side of an Ixi, though these can be one to two (three if dominant) different base coats' colors, instead of lighter and darker than base coat colors. (suggested by pawstepsinthesnow , sort of)
• New gene: Chain (nChn/ChnChn), inspired by chain catsharks, a series of connected geometric blobs, a little more irregular than the Hexagon gene. Spot genes like Inkblot, Cowspot, and Koi can fill in the entire interior of the Chain markings, no matter the original size requirements for the spot markings. (suggested by pawstepsinthesnow , sort of)
• New Gene: Polydactyl (+PlyD). Technically this could have been a mut station edit, but we're expanding it to allow many thumbs, misplaced thumbs on the hand, and an optional back paw dewclaw on non-primal Rixixi.
• There's a dA hub!
• The seasonal Raid has rolled over, and flowers are truly in bloom. Massive flowers upon a twisting rack of antlers, miles tall. The Trophy is here.

Everything should be rolled over, if you see something mentioning a season that's not fall let me know!

Happy Leap Day! We have some things completely unrelated to leap day going on, coincidentally:

Multispecies news:

The Semi and MYO sale for Kitty has been extended a month due to additional vet costs. If you were missing anything, you've got more time to get it now!

Aexent can be part B-NOMALY now - you can declare B-NOMALY traits when posting your Aex to the upload prompt. Rixixi have... something... planned for the future, and haven't been included yet as a result.

That's it for now! See you soon!
