Welcome to Celestial Seas! 


Celestial Seas is both a community of creators and the name of a high fantasy/sci-fi ARPG surrounding the Celestial Seas species! We welcome artists and writers of all skill levels to join us in expanding the lore of the Celestial Seas universe. Anyone can join up and participate!

The ARPG is an entirely optional bonus to Celestial Seas. You are allowed to simply enjoy collecting characters and creating artwork with the community or in private!

We do recommend participating however, as it will allow you to modify your characters, collect all kinds of items, enter raffles, and even earn MYO slots that allow you to create a new design of your own.

The species: Browbirds, kitbulls, and painted satyr.

Currently the website and much of our info is a heavy work in progress! We're missing some guides and core features!

What if I don't have a Celestial Seas character?

You do not need a character to sign up or participate. You are able to earn currency and items through gift art for other players, or using a Community Character (CC). You can see the three of them above - check out their links!

✦ Enter free raffles

  • During events there are raffles for premade designs and MYO slots either for free or by submitting a prompt entry to the event.
  • Designs won this way can't be traded/sold!

✦ Purchase one with game currency

  • By participating in the ARPG you will earn stargold. This currency can be exchanged for MYO SLOTS, trait items, and more!
  • ONE TIME HALF OFF SLOTS HERE! You can buy one of each species for half price one time!
  • Buy more MYO slots here!

✦ Other Ways

  • Purchase premade designs through flatsale or auction from an official site sale, or through side sales/art trades on the Corrin toyhouse account
  • Purchase a MYO slot during a MYO flatsale raffle
  • Trade with other players
  • Rarely there will be patreon design sales, patreon gachas, and patreon browlet events!

Common Terms

There are some terms thrown around on the site that some newcomers may be unfamiliar with!

✦ MYO slot - "Make your own" slot. This is an item that allows you to design a character and have it officially added to the website. 

✦ ARPG - "Art Roleplay Game". This refers to the system of character development and art rewarding items, currency, and progress in a game-like fashion. 

✦ Trait - Refers to a feature on a character that can be modified in a variety of ways. Such as their tail or horns. 

✦ C-S - A common abbreviation of Celestial-Seas. Not to be confused with CS which refers to closed species as a whole.

✦ Aspect - These are powers each design has in-character! They cover a wide range of elements. They are mainly used for story and prompt purposes, but will have more applications later.

✦ FTO / Non-Owner - "First time owner" OR anyone who does not currently have a browbird, kitbull, or painted satyr. These basically mean the same thing here for FTO sales!
