Project Xero is an original species RPG concept created by NeonSlushie. Our main focus with this project is involving our community in online and real-world activities to learn about natural sciences and connect over cute digital creatures called Xeros!

Owning a Xero is not required to participate. In fact, you can even earn free Xeros from participating in our events. Learn more on our Starter Guide!

There are a few different ways to get a Xero, including options that are completely free! Every participating member of Project Xero can earn free “Make Your Own Xero” slots by completing activities and earning in-game currency and items on our website. In addition, we also frequently give away free Xeros via raffles, sell Xeros from official artists as adoptable characters, and sell extra opportunities for MYO Xero slots to pay our staff team. Members of our community may also put their Xeros up for trade or sale in the ⁠#xero-marketplace channel of our Discord.

Yes! We pride ourselves on being extremely welcoming to artists and non-artists alike, and drawing abilities are not required for many of our activities & events.

Making an account here on our website and joining our Discord is a great place to start! Having an account on our website will grant you access to the gallery and prompts, allowing you to earn in-game currency and items.

Project Xero will not, and does not have the ability to control or access any personal information on your social media account, or post anything on your behalf using your account.

Linking a social media page is required to validate your identity and keep the game fair, as we limit one account per person on the site. When you make an account on Project Xero, you must link either a Toyhouse, DeviantArt account, or a Twitter account to verify your identity. Project Xero will not, and does not have the ability to control or access any personal information on your social media account, or post anything on your behalf using your account. 

Xeros can be purchased from NeonSlushie or our Geneticists when new ones are put up for sale. We will also occasionally run raffles or other events that you can participate in for a chance to win a free Xero! You can also get them from other members who are selling or trading theirs. In addition, each member has the opportunity to make their own Xeros by participating in our community and game! For more information on obtaining Xeros, see the Buying / Selling section of the FAQ!

You can earn a MYO slot by participating in the game! All information on MYOs can be found on the MYO Info page. In addition, we occasionally sell MYO slots for USD in the Discord or on the Sales page. We also give them away as free prizes from time to time!

Essentially, you treat it as any other character you own; you can draw it, name it, develop its personality, roleplay with it, commission art or plushies of it, or even a fursuit if you desire.  But there are more perks! There is a whole community, with mini-games, events, and other things to do that you can earn in-game currency by participating.

Subspecies (also called subtypes) are classifications of Xeros that possess certain traits adapted to the specialized environments they live in, making them unique to the “Standard” Xero species. Click HERE to learn more about the different subspecies of Xeros!

All known traits can be found HERE. Some traits are exclusive to the different subspecies.

Under “All Traits” you can find the corresponding item to allow your Xero to obtain that trait. Some items are seasonal or only available during certain events. We recommend joining the official Xero Discord and trading items with fellow players to obtain items that may be out-of-season!

A Glitched status may be inflicted upon a Xero by visiting Atelier. Having the Glitched status allows traits that wouldn’t normally be available to a Xero to be displayed, such as Marine Xero having the Desert Ears trait.

Individuals who purchase a Project Xero character may decide to remove them from the species. This process is called voiding. A voided character is permanently removed from the Masterlist and is no longer considered a Xero and cannot be called one. Voiding a design is permanent and cannot be reversed for any reason, so it is strongly recommended that users think carefully before deciding to remove a Xero from the community.

To void your character you need to contact an available moderator and ask them to permanently void the specific character(s). A user may void their characters without any questions by the moderator but will need to agree to the character voiding terms again. If a user is in possession of a voided character and wishes to add them back into the Project Xero group, they may do so only by obtaining and using a MYO slot to recreate the character.

Account Bound is an action Staff can take on user request that designates a Xero to be permanently restricted to the account of the player.  This means a Xero that is account-bound can not be sold or traded to other users and can only be Voided to remove it from the species and ARPG. If a user is in possession of a voided character and wishes to add them back into the Project Xero group, they may do so only by obtaining and using a MYO slot to recreate the character.

A "Censored" Xero will appear on the masterlist with an alternative warning lable, as apposed to the typical headshot of a Xero. Users may choose to create a design that others may find visually uncomfortable or upsetting, these Xero's may be censored on the Masterlist to ensure a safe envoriment for all users. Xeros that have a Content Warning tag arenot eligible for Xero of the Month.

There are many types of phobias, both broad and specific, however our Content Warnings page goes into more details on what will specifically ally trigger a censor. The types of content warnings we censor may change over time. 

A Xero's sale value is determined by the original amount it was purchased for. If a Xero was purchased for 150 USD, it’s sale value will reflect this. Sale values can be found on the Xero's Masterlist page, under 'Stats'.

Sale values may be updated to include the cost of things such as purchased artwork, crafts, etc. Artwork that was obtained for free, such as gift art, trade art, or personal art does not contribute to a higher sale value. You can update your Xero's sale value HERE.

All free raffle/gift Xeros have a set sale value of $0.00 USD.

To put it simply, no. When selling, trading, or gifting a Xero design to a new owner, all assets must be transferred over, including old designs or redesigns. If your Xero was based on an existing personal OC, the two designs must remain together and cannot be split apart, as it would not be fair to the new owner to have an identical design belonging to someone else.

No. The sale of Xero orbs and slots for  "real life" currency is prohibited. Orb sales will only be faciliateted through Staff and are annoucned via the Sales page on-site, or Discord.  

Prompts are activities players can participate in to receive rewards. Some prompts are limited-time events, and some can be submitted weekly. There are different categories of activities; click HERE to see them!

Please be sure to check individual prompts for more information. All rules, expectations, and submission requirements are found within the prompts themselves. 

Directions on how to submit each prompt can be found on the prompt page, by clicking “show details”.

Each prompt may have slightly different instructions on how to submit them, but most prompts can be broken down into two parts:
1. Uploading the image or writing and
2. Submitting the prompt. Images & writing related to Project Xero can be uploaded directly to our on-site Gallery, which earns 1 Prestige

Images or writing unrelated to Project Xero (such as for the litter cleanup prompt) can be uploaded to Imgur, Dropbox, Stash, or other image hosting sites. Grab the URL associated with your submission and navigate to the prompt you wish to submit to. Hit submit prompt, paste your link into the “Submission URL” box and note down any relevant information in the “Comments” box. If your prompt features a Xero, add the character using their Masterlist code number (example: X-123). Rewards are added automatically for you, so just hit submit!

Prompts are processed manually by staff so it may take 1-3 days to receive your rewards.

First, make sure you did actually submit the prompt to the correct place. You can see your past and current prompt submissions by navigating to your user page and clicking “Submissions” under History in the side panel. Here you can check the status of your prompt by clicking “Details”; this will show if it is still pending approval or if it has been approved.

If your prompt does not appear in the Submissions tab, that means you did not submit it through the prompt page and may have only submitted it to the Gallery. Submit your prompt on the prompt page to get your rewards!

Badges are awarded to those participating in certain Event Prompts. They are fun little decorations for your profile to show off your accomplishments. Extra badges can be turned into the traveling Badge Collector NPC for extra rewards.

Events are large-scale (typically month-long) occurrences where special limited prompts and activities, such as game nights, are present for the community to participate in. Some events are one-offs, while some are annual occurrences, such as the Twilight Carnival. Participation earns the opportunity to get exclusive rewards such as seasonal traits, awards, and the coveted super-rare currency Astatine. Events are a great way to connect in the community and have fun!

The Gallery is where you can share any Project Xero related artwork, writing, or crafts you have made of your characters, other's characters, or NPCs! It is a great place to start earning a bit of in-game currency, as every piece of unique art you upload to the Gallery will earn you 5 Prestige, even if it wasn't for a Prompt. Using the Gallery for your Prompt submissions also helps us stay organized.

For more information on how to use our Gallery feature, please check out the Gallery Rules page!

Currently, artwork uploaded to any gallery must be your own creation. If a base of yours is used in multiple uploads, you will only receive a reward for the initial upload using the base. Artwork using another’s base may be hidden from the galleries if it is mistakenly accepted.

Within Project Xero, “Guest Artists” are known as Geneticists. Applications are available occasionally through the Official Xero Discord. Applicants are expected to have a wide variety of previous design work and Xero art examples. We also prefer to choose those who are active in our community.

We ask you file a report with a member of the team. DO NOT harass or contact the user on your own. 

The Project Xero team is dedicated to cultivating an open and safe community for all of its members. If you are having trouble with another member we ask that you contact a moderator and we will do our best to help you. 

You can also report a user through the website itself by viewing their profile and clicking the report button. ⚠️

Please keep in mind our reach to help with these issues is usually limited to our website and official Discord. 

You may report this to a member of our staff team. Please include evidence of such claims. 

While the Project Xero website is available for members 13+ to join, we do not believe in facilitating chat rooms where adults and minors can interact for the safety of both parties. You must be 18+ to join the official Discord. 

From left to right: Gift art, Gift writing, Sales and Trade offers. 

When these icons are RED it means the character is CLOSED for receiving gift work or inquiries on sales or trades.

When these icons are YELLOW , it means you must ASK the owner before proceeding with any gift work, or sales and trading discussion. 

When these icons are GREEN it means the character is OPEN for gift work and the owner is accepting inquiries on sales and trading discussion. 

Xeros that are up for sale or trade offer are often posted in the Marketplace section of the Official Xero Discord under #xero-marketplace. Those looking to draw gift artwork or writing will have an easier time finding Xeros to draw or write about in the Creative section's #xero-art-requests channel.

Creatures such as “Boolew” can be found while participating in certain events and activities. Your Index is a record of these findings, allowing you to learn a bit more about the fascinating flora and fauna of Owai-6 and surrounding solar systems. Can you study all the known creatures?

You can check your Item Logs and Bank from your Profile to validate all transactions. If you find you’ve been missed in receiving a certain reward please contact a member of the staff team and we will fix it!

If you’ve been given too many of a reward, you’ll likely see an accompanying admin note listing the mistake. We may remove your extra rewards with a note, or request you send them to the Admin account. This helps keep the game fair and fun for everyone!

It’s very unlikely this will occur, but since all prompts are processed manually by our Admin team, sometimes mistakes happen. 

All the currencies have descriptions that can be read HERE.

Prestige is the standard currency for the official Project Xero website and can be used to in-game items and even sometimes artwork within our community. It is earned through completing Prompts and through player interactions. 

The economy on Project Xero is player-run and there are no strict rules on conversion rates between these currencies. Use your own digression when purchasing/trading with others. 

Items can be traded with other players or NPCs as well as attached to MYO slots to obtain certain traits on a Xero. 

Navigating to our Encyclopedia will allow you to read about any item, including how it’s obtained and where to use it. 

Information about attaching items to your MYOs or to a Xero redesign can be found on their corresponding pages.
