+. (1/25/25) Big news today, we have a new species to welcome to the ChS universe~
-Hello Cosmonauts, there have been some exciting updates for the group.
+A peace treaty has been reached between the Alfien’s and the Voidwings and as a result you will start to see Voidwings out and about in the ChS universe.
+At the current moment Voidwings cannot be created via the free MYO slot but can be obtained via purchasing a custom from ChS staff or from adopts that will be coming soon.
+There will ideally be a group wide event starting in early February to celebrate their release.
+To learn more please check out the Voidwing wiki page here - > https://wiki.cheshirespecies.com/doku.php?id=voidwing
+Also make sure to go and check out the newest NPC, Kriss Redwing -> https://wiki.cheshirespecies.com/doku.php?id=kriss
+**NEW**
+A. As of 1/31/25 the traits 'Eyes of Madness', 'Different Pupil', 'Robotic Iris', and 'Googly Eyes' have all been combined into 'Alt Eyes'. This allows any iris and/or pupil colors, shapes, patterns ect. on the eyes. This trait is rare at this time. Compensatory traits have been given out as needed to designs that this applied to.
+B. It should also be noted that Voidwings have an ice breath ability. Ice breath does not give control of ice magic and Voidwings that want to use ice magic will need to learn it from the proper mentor when they are available.

+Hello Cosmonauts, we hope everyone had a great holiday and new years. We want to recap the progress of the group over the 2024 year as well as some of the future plans we are hoping to accomplish in 2025. While we work hard to make sure that we create and produce new content we can't promise that all of the planned features will be done this year. We also want to thank you for all the love and support we have received. This ARPG would not be possible with out the amazing players that make up this group. We look forward to soaring through the stars with everyone in 2025~
