Vocabulary and its Shorthand


  • CS [Closed Species]: An original species defined by its unique anatomy and lore. Characters within a closed species are not free for others to create/own, meaning only certain individuals can create/own official characters of said species. Usually, there are MYO slots with which other users can use to make their own characters of the species.
  • MYO [Make Your Own]: Slots for members to create their own characters of a certain species. Normally in Colsentia, these can be obtained by being sold in in-game shops, sold online for real-life currency, crafting by yourself from collecting craft items, participating in special prompts, trading, or being gifted.
  • GA [Guest Artist]: Individuals granted special permission to create characters of said species, also known as temporary species artists/designers. When and how many GA's are chosen is up to the staff.
  • FTO [First Time Owner]: Members who haven’t owned a species in Colsentia before .
  • OTA [Offer to Adopt]: This means that you can offer anything that the artist prefers; it can be real-life currency, art, or other characters in return for a design made by them. When the auction ends, the creator may decide to choose one of the offers made.
  • NPC [Non-Playable Character]: A character not owned by any individual and can be drawn for gift-art/gift-writing. They can be used in prompts that allow for NPC use. Please check the prompt description before using them. 
  • ML [Masterlist]: A character index where all usable game characters are stored for people to have their characters legitimately linked to their names.
  • BB [Bronze Beef], SS [Silver Salmon], & GG [Gold Goose]:  These are the currency in this closed species! It can be obtained by exploring, crafting, participating in events, prompts, or trading with other people. It's used to buy items in the various shops on the website.
  • Link [Website URL]: A shorthand abbreviation for 'copying' and 'pasting' a website URL/link.
