{ This is the VETERAN FIGMENT QUESTLINE }
This quest can only be done with your FIGMENT (your first FTO MYO) Stygian! Follow the steps below (steps 1-5!)
{ STEP 1 - ADD SOME TRAITS FOR YOUR EXISTING STYGIAN } 
Add some traits (potions) you'd like to see on an existing Stygian! What do they look like?
Remember, this quest is non-canonical and has no effect on your Stygian once they have been accepted into the ARPG. The goal of this step is to get you thinking about what YOU think would be great to have on your Stygian. While your Figment Starter Stygian can only start with two common traits, you can buy most of traits from the item shop with shadow tokens (our ARPG currency). You can also add traits later at any time to your character too! { STEP 2 - DESIGN YOUR STYGIAN AS ANOTHER SUBSPECIES } 
Stygian come in many different shapes and sizes in the form of different subspecies. If traits are the raincoat and booties you manage to get on your corgi, a subspecies shift would turn your raincoat-wearing corgi into a raincoat-wearing poodle. Each Stygian subspecies comes with unique design requirements. { PICK A SUBSPECIES, ANY SUBSPECIES } - In this step, pick ANY subspecies type from our { list of subspecies } and draw your Figment Stygian as them! Keep the general requirements for each species in mind. If you'd like to see some examples, please visit our { Stygian Masterlist } { YES, NOW YOU CAN TRY PRIMORDIAL } - The Primordial Trait will turn your existing Stygian into the Primordial Variant! For some lore about them, please visit this page. { FOR WRITERS } - You can jump forward in time and assume that your Stygian has collected enough power to change their form. Did they create a new potion to drink? Is there a special ritual they undergo to change their shape? Or do they just wake up one morning to discover themselves in a different form?
{ STEP 3 - STYGIAN AVATARS } 
{ DESIGN AN AVATAR FORM } - Tired of drawing deer? This is where the Stygian Avatar system comes into play! An "avatar" form is an alternate form for a Stygian that is either human OR animal. These avatar forms need to retain a similar design to the original Stygian design. { ON HUMAN FORMS } - Eye and hair colors need to be the same, however the skin color can be different. The Stygian ears, antlers, and tails can carry over for a gijinka appearance. { ON ANIMAL FORMS} - The markings must be similar to the original Stygian design. Note that all animal forms are the same size as a Stygian , meaning if you pick a whale then it will be a deer-sized whale. In addition, the animal must be an existing animal . { WHAT ABOUT DINOSAURS? DRAGONS? } - These are considered "mythical" forms and available to legendary stygian only. Please do not pick a mythical creature for the Figment quest; we may ask you to redo this step. { FOR WRITERS } - Does your Stygian take on this form as a design? Why do they feel attached to that particular form? If they're human, what kind of clothes do they wear? If they're an animal, do they indulge in animal behaviors? Or do they maybe have a bird form in order to fly? When you create a Stygian, you are allowed to pick either one animal OR one human form right off the bat! { STEP 4 - THEIR NIGHTMARE KINGDOM }
All Stygian live in the { WORLD OF NIGHTMARES }. However, they have their own personal "island" they live on, called their kingdom. This kingdom of theirs is based off the nightmare they originally came from, and can be as large as you, the designer wishes! It could have anything from nonsensical trees to floating castles to upside down twisted corridors, the sky is the limit. For this step, draw or write a snippet of what their nightmare kingdom could look like. Maybe for now, it's just the blossoming of their kingdom. Kingdoms can always change, expand, and grow over time. Just because you designed something for this trial quest doesn't mean you are locked into this, you can always change or revisit the concept once your Stygian becomes an actual one! { STEP 5 - STYGIAN AND BUDDIES }
It's time to meet another player's Stygian by drawing or writing your Stygian with theirs in any type of interaction (or just next to each other)! This other Stygian must be owned by another player because it's time to meet someone new! If you are uncomfortable reaching out to someone for permission to draw their character please visit our { LIST OF APPROVED STYGIAN FOR FANART }! All Stygian on this list are available to draw, as their owners have already given permission. Don't forget to tag the owner when you draw them! If you're stumped for what to have them do, some Stygian owners have also written short bios about their characters that can help inspire you! The other person's stygian you pick to draw also earns a sweet +5 skillpoints too!You need to be logged in to post a comment!
