Traits
Labyrinth (nLby/LbyLby) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A dark, hard-edged marking featuring geometric stripes, looking fairly like a 'maze'.
- Labyrinth must be darker than the base coat. It is typically hard-edged.
- Labyrinth features 'geometric' stripes forming a maze-like structure - bold lines, squares and hoops interlocking together. The gene is based on the markings of the Barred Sorubim and other similar Pseudoplatystoma catfish, as such, referring to them as examples may be more helpful than text descriptions.
- It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
Examples:
Kaurphyt Lines (nKph/KphKph) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Bright stripes and swirls. Should be bright colors. Can be two colors.
- Kaurphyt Lines can be any bright color, and may be two different colors. These two colors should be on separate stripes rather than two-toning the same stripes
- It is typically hard or textured-edged.
- It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should at least appear on the back and/or sides of the Rixixi. If a Wing mutation is present, Kaurphyt Lines should be present somewhere on them.
- Kaurphyt Lines should present as stripes and swirls, primarily. Some abstract blocks of color can be present, but should be small enough so as to not mistake for Poison Dart (and should be accompanied with traditional Kaurphyt Line stripes and swirls). A couple of spots are also allowed as accents, but should be small in quantity and used as accents to the main marking.
Examples:
Kaurphyt Ravens, the namesake of the gene.
Accents (nAc/AcAc) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Creates accents on the face, undersides, and/or tail of the Rixixi, in any color, including bright ones. Can be two-toned.


Range:




- Accents can be any color, and may display up to two colors within the marking, which may be blended together.
- It has no restriction on edge hardness.
- Accents has no minimum, but should be clearly visible on the Rixixi.
- Accents should not heavily resemble most markings (though being distinctly its own marking with its own rules is typically enough to get it to pass - e.g. a striped, procyonid-like tail can pass if paired with other Accents), however, Accents can resemble Unders, Tan, or Pangare with no issue.
Examples:
Iridescence (nIri/IriIri) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A colorful sheen over the Ixi.
- Iridescence can appear layered over the base coat and markings, and appears as an overlay of color over part of the body.
- A way to achieve this look is to add an overlay layer blended out over part of the body. This should be fully blended out, and there should be an area where the actual base color shows through.
- There can be a slight "shine" to Iridescence, but it should be subtle and not cover markings.
Examples:
Eyespot (nEye/EyeEye) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Creates spots with rings of color inside. Can be hollow.
- Eyespot can be any color, and can be multicolored - they can have gradients, multicolored rings (multiple if desired), even both.
- The marking can have a cutout if desired, displaying as hollow rings instead of solid spots.
- It should be hard-edged.
- Eyespot has no minimum, and must only appear visibly on the design. It has no maximum, and can appear anywhere on the Rixixi.
Examples:
Droplets (nDro/DroDro) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Modifies the edge of any one marking of the Rixixi to "drip" downwards, and can drip out of the marking's range if the marking has one. If no other marking exists on the Rixixi, Droplets can create a pseudo-Sable or Cloak marking on the back of the Rixixi with a Droplets edge. Dominant Droplets can modify multiple markings.
- Droplets alters the edge "texture" of a marking. The droplets should match the modified marking's edge hardness and shape - that is, a hard-edged marking would have hard-edged droplets, and a soft-edged marking would have soft-edged droplets.
- Two+ toned markings can have droplets on the edge of each marking color - see Dreamurr in the examples for a visual.
- Droplets should match the original color of the modified marking, unless Droplets itself is modified by a color modifier.
- If Droplets is the only marking on the Rixixi, then Droplets can create either a Sable or Cloak-style back marking, with Droplets affecting the edge - effectively "droplets going down the back".
- Recessive Droplets can modify the edge of one marking, while Dominant Droplets can modify the edge of multiple - as many as the designer desires.
Examples:
Affecting Squared.
Affecting Hexagon.
Affecting Eyespots - Two-toned.
Daggerstabbed (nDs/DsDs) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Blood-colored mark on the chest, can gently streak down the underbelly; based on bleeding-heart doves.




Range:




- Must be a shade of red - bright red, blood red, pale red, or red-brown recommended. Can contain a more saturated color in the center and blend out to a desaturated color.
- Daggerstabbed's color can be overridden by the Rixixi's blood color if applicable.
- Edges should be fully blended out.
- The marking should be similar to the chest marking of a bleeding-heart dove.
- At minimum, Daggerstabbed should appear on the chest. The trail down the belly is optional.
Examples:
Cowspot (nCow/CowCow) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Large spots and patches clustered around the body. Can be lighter or darker than base coat.
- Cowspot can be lighter or darker than the base coat. It can have a gradient, and the gradient can be made up of two fairly different colors, as long as those colors are still either lighter or darker than the base coat.
- Cowspots can be single spots, large patches, many spots clustered together, or a combination of these. There can be spots smaller than the minimum size as long as they're clustering with a larger spot to make a proper-sized path. Likewise, patches can exceed the maximum size if they're clearly separate spots that meet at some points.
- Cowspots can be solid, textured, or slightly soft-edged. They should not be blended out.
- It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. At minimum, it should have one visible large patch.
The above images display the minimum and maximum size for Cowspots.
Examples:
Bloom (nBlm/BlmBlm) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Presents as a band of color around any marking. The band can be any color, and may be two-toned. If no other marking exists on the Rixixi, Bloom CAN create an outline (and only the outline) of any marking.
- Bloom presents as a band of color around any marking. The band may be any color, may be two-toned, and should match the modified marking's edge hardness and shape.
- If Bloom is the only marking on the Rixixi (or if the only other markings modify the base coat without creating another marking, such as Gradient), then Bloom can create the outline of any marking except for markings with a fully blended edge - make sure that the shape of the marking is clear! You can use any edge hardness for this (including mixed edge hardness) except for 100% blended - partially blended and partially something else is fine.
- Recessive Bloom can modify the edge of one marking, while Dominant Bloom can modify the edge of multiple - as many as the designer desires.
Examples:
Unders (nUn/UnUn) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
- Unders may be a lighter or darker shade of the base coat, including black and white. It may have a gradient, but it must be within a similar hue, not heavily two-toned.
- Edge must be hard or textured.
- Unders should at least appear visibly somewhere on the torso.
- There can be some breaks in the marking, but they should appear as natural separate pieces. Cutouts are allowed so long as they are natural shapes.
- While markings typically should not resemble each other too heavily, if Unders is on a base such as Latte, Woods, or Sunbeam, it may resemble Tan (though should still simply be lighter/darker than the base coat).
Examples:
Ticking (nTk/TkTk) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Tick marks, darker than base, flecked around the Ixi's coat.
- Ticking should be darker than the base coat, and can have some variance in color.
- It should always present as small tick marks clustered together, whether in portions of the coat or covering the full body. It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
- It is typically hard or lightly soft-edged.
- It can also cause barring at the limbs, tail, neck, and face - as seen on some cats, particularly the Singapura.
Examples:
Tan (nTn/TnTn) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A variant of unders that turns the underbelly a shade of tan or brown regardless of the base coat.




Range:




- Other than the color, Tan follows the same rules as Unders:
- Edge must be hard or textured.
- Unders should at least appear visibly somewhere on the torso.
- There can be some breaks in the marking, but they should appear as natural separate pieces. Cutouts are allowed as long as they are natural shapes.
- It may have a gradient, but it must be within a similar hue, not heavily two-toned.
- While markings typically should not resemble each other too heavily, Tan can, in some cases, look identical to Unders on a Sunbeam, Woods, or Latte base.
