![Picture](/uploads/1/4/5/3/145358216/published/zoosmellnewbie.png?250)
Dynachix runs exclusively off of DeviantART and Discord!
DeviantART
The DeviantART group is where you'll be uploading all of your art for your Birbs! You'll need to join the DeviantART in order to participate, since that's our main platform.
Click here to visit the group page!
Discord
Although the DeviantART will get all of the important updates as well, our Discord server is where we post all of our announcements, reminders, and potential extra goodies! All of our approvals, rolls, raffles, and other events will mostly be on here.

Group Rules
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, we have a few pretty important guidelines you should look over! We have a more extensive list on our Discord, but these are some of the more important ones.
- You must be older than 16 years of age in order to join Dynachix!
- We don't moderate stories, unless they break Discord or DeviantART's ToS. Even though this group is 16+, we still don't allow anything NSFW art on either platform / server. We do have an 18+ category for the adults on our discord server, but these rules still apply there.
- Respect your fellow members - be nice and civil!
- We do not allow identity discourse or venting about other groups.
- No vagueposting about other users or groups.
The species
Birbs [burbz]: The main species of the group! Adults can be called this, but it can also refer to a singular (birb) or multiple (birbs).
Chix [chicks]: A baby Birb
Chix [chicks]: A baby Birb
Despite being called 'birbs', Birbs are more like reptiles or dinosaurs! They gradually evolved millions of years ago from an alien raptorial saurid similar to our Deinonychus, with the Corvus being the most modern and aesthetically similar to their ancestors.
They are all intersex and oviparous, meaning that they lay eggs!

The World
Nexus II: The planet that the Birbs live on! Can also be referred to as simply 'Nexus'.
Pyrmond: This is the specific continent that the different communities live on.
Communities: Groups that Birbs live in. These groups can vary in terms of size, customs, location, etc.

Nexus II is a breathtaking planet with a distinctive beauty that sets it apart from other worlds. It has a cobalt crust, which can be dissolved into water to create a mesmerizing pinkish-purple hue. The planet orbits a red giant, resulting in a stunning yellow-green atmosphere that lends the sky a perpetual sunset. The flora is more of a reddish color - in fact, most of the flora (particularly the trees) are actually aquatic plants that made the transition to land a long time ago!
Pyrmond is the largest continent on Nexus II and is home to several communities that play an important role here on Dynachix, with more still to be discovered on the horizon: Featherfall Empire, Corvus Nation, Clockwork Order, and the Maritime Itinerants are the currently available communities!

Newbie Perks
Upon joining Dynachix there's a few freebies you immediately have access to!
- 20 free MYO slots!
- More to come...
Making a chixMYO: 'Make Your Own'
With so many free MYOs at your disposal, there's so many possibilities for the types of birbs you can make! There are no set palettes in our group, and instead you have freedom to choose your colors and placements with a couple of rules behind it. Make sure you head on down to the MYO guide so that you can learn how to make your very first birb! |
Applying upgradesUpgrades are an integral part of Dynachix, and there's one big way to get them for your character: collecting seeds!
Seeds are earned by drawing your birbs and submitting those pieces to the Dynachix group gallery, and it's all made easy-peasy since we have a tracker that will tally them up for you! Seeds never deplete and can't be spent, and are account-bound. This means you can keep on gaining them! Click the button below to learn how to tally your seeds! |
How do I obtain more Birbs?
There's 20 free MYOs, but what if you want something different? Luckily, there's tons of other ways to obtain birbs!
- Breeding: It's not open at this point in time, but in the future you'll be able to obtain eggs through our breeding mechanic!
- Adopts: Occasionally we will post egg or chix adopts on the DA / Discord. Most of these will be obtainable via raffles or other means!
