Usage Guidelines
Canonical — By channel
Section titled “Canonical — By channel”- Discord: role names (Kit Raccoon, Digger Raccoon, and further rank-tied names matching the five-state progression), a sticker set, bot avatars (welcome/leveling/announcement bots), channel icons, event announcements.
- Twitter/X: profile avatar and header, meme/GIF/reaction posts, announcements, engagement replies.
- Telegram: sticker pack, short reaction GIFs, bot avatar, announcement posts.
Proposed — Other channels
Section titled “Proposed — Other channels”Community-site, video/still-image production rules, and social/community content cadence exist in working form but are governed by Media Book, Game Brand Documentation, and Talking-Head Brand Documentation respectively — each cites this book’s identity/visual/personality facts and adds only its own contextual application.
Allowed usage
Section titled “Allowed usage”- Depicting Sol Mamy in R1 (or an approved secondary variant, R2) for any first-party SOLMAMY context, or any SOLMEME context involving her (the two are separate entities — see Terminology).
- Using her established personality traits and voice (Mascot Book — Voice) in first-party copy or dialogue attributed to her.
- Using the Lunar Vault Module as her signature prop, at whatever state matches the relevant rank context.
Prohibited usage
Section titled “Prohibited usage”- Altering the mask, ears, tail, or silhouette proportions for any variant, thematic or otherwise — these are stated identity invariants (see Visual Identity — Face & features, Body figure), fixed at the same level as the helmet and marks; no costume, context, or channel changes them.
- Presenting a sealed dome-visor helmet — the open-face, hard-shell helmet is canonical (see Visual Identity — Helmet shape); the dome/visor is a superseded older concept, not an alternative.
- Reintroducing a treasure-chest prop — retired in favor of the Lunar Vault Module.
- Inventing new family members, or a different ship name/accident cause/antagonist names than the ones already authored in Story & Universe Book, or presenting the ship name as CANON rather than PROPOSED, or the accident cause as more settled than genuinely OPEN/UNRESOLVED (a PROPOSED narrative device — a debris-field shortcut — is authored and used consistently, but no source confirms it as the actual, final cause) — canon/lore facts belong solely to Story & Universe Book’s own CANON/PROPOSED/OPEN discipline; this book cites them, it never invents or reclassifies them. Story & Universe Book’s Open Canon Questions chapter classifies these differently: only the ship name is Proposed, the accident cause itself is OPEN, with just its narrative device Proposed.
- Designing or proposing an alternative logo/wordmark instead of her mark (see Brand / Mark Relationship).
Do / Don’t example
Section titled “Do / Don’t example”Do: “Sol Mamy, in her canonical R1 suit, standing beside the Lunar Vault Module at its Glowing state.” Don’t: “Sol Mamy, wearing a sealed astronaut dome helmet, guarding a treasure chest.” — both details contradict the canonical reference.
Canonical — Clear space
Section titled “Canonical — Clear space”No other element (text, logo, icon) should sit closer to the mascot than the height of the mascot’s own head. (Restated in Brand Book — Logo & Mark, Clear space.)
Canonical — Additional prohibited usage
Section titled “Canonical — Additional prohibited usage”Beyond the invariant-protection rules above, an older design-brief source also confirms:
- Do not use in political, adult, or controversial contexts.
- Do not use in a distorted or unattractive rendering.
- Do not use to promise financial gain in the mascot’s name.
- Do not use to advertise scam projects.
- Do not alter the base design without approval.
- Do not use in hate speech, harassment, or discrimination.
Canonical — Additional allowed usage
Section titled “Canonical — Additional allowed usage”- Community materials (Discord, Twitter, Telegram, community site).
- Memes, stickers, GIFs, animations.
- Community merch, if produced.
- Integration into games, quests, and activities.
- Fan art, with attribution.
Superseded, not current: the same older source also listed NFT usage as allowed-with-approval. NFTs have since been removed from this project entirely by direct owner decision — that line is superseded and must not be treated as current permission.
Ownership note
Section titled “Ownership note”Attribution/commercial-use questions for any use of the mascot follow OWNERSHIP_AUTHORITY.md — see that file for the current, authoritative ownership fact (Lavatti Union). An older design-brief source used a different attribution convention (“Lunar Raccoon © SOLMEME Community”) tied to the character’s earlier working name; that convention predates and conflicts with the current ownership authority and is not current.
Part of the SOLMEME Brand Documentation System. Content status (Canonical/Proposed/Open/etc.) is this book’s own axis; ownership/rights are separate — see OWNERSHIP_AUTHORITY.md at the documentation system’s root.
