Traits

Range:

• Ripple can be any color, and can be two-toned.
• The marking should display as wavering and thin to give the rippling effect. Branching stripes are optional.
• Ripple can be hard or soft-edged. It should not be heavily blended out or heavily textured.
• While it does not have to literally meet the eye and tail, ripple should flow in an eye-to-tail direction.

Examples:

• Boar must flow in the direction of eye to tail. It does not have to touch the eye or the tail, this is simply the direction it must flow. Boar can start and stop anywhere on the side, but each stripe should consist of a single unbroken line, not multiple bars in a row.
• You can have as many Boar stripes as you want from back to underbelly, and as many as you want going down the legs.
• Boar stripes consist of an inner and outer stripe. The outer stripe is darker than the base coat, and the inner stripe is lighter than the base coat (and should be fully within the darker stripe).
• Edge may be hard, textured, or somewhat soft. It should not be fully blended out.

Examples:

• Brindle appears similar to the marking of the same name in dogs and horses. It can appear as realistically as you like, with blotches of heavier striping and texturing, or it can simply be thin striping, thinner and more even than Tabby.
• Brindle can be both darker than AND lighter than the base coat. This is optional. It can also be only darker than OR lighter than the base coat if desired. If appearing as both colors and affected by a marking like Glitter or Lunar, two tones are allowed.
• It is typically hard- or textured-edged. It should not be blended out, but can be somewhat soft-edged.
• It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.

Examples:

• Glaze alters only the sheen of a marking. The modified marking should still have the same edge hardness and shape.
• The color of lighter/darker than base markings can be altered by Glaze to be an analagous hue.
• If Glaze is the only marking on the Rixixi, then Glaze can create either a Sable or Cloak-style back marking, with an iridescent sheen.
• Recessive Glaze can modify the sheen of one marking, while Dominant Glaze can modify multiple - as many as the designer desires.

Examples:

Affecting  Cloak - Droplets also affecting Cloak.

• Erosion alters any single marking on the Rixixi, causing the texture of the marking to be mottled and speckled. Speckles should be tiny, like the snowflake marking. Eroded markings can go very slightly out of range due to being textured out of the range.
• If Erosion is the only marking on the Rixixi, then Erosion will not visibly appear on the design. Alternately, it can be used on free marks.
• Recessive Erosion can modify the edge of one marking, while Dominant Erosion can modify the edge of multiple - as many as the designer desires.

Examples:

Erosion used on Pangare

Range:

• Must be lighter than the base coat.
• Should be soft-edged.
• Waterlight can present as either large blobs of light (The Lanternlighter shows this presentation) or lines representing ripples in water - sort of like an outline of the former version. Both should be soft-edged and lighter than base.

Examples:

Range:

 

• Xanadu is a marking similar to the stripe on an orca's back. It can continue down the tail, and can optionally have various swirls, curves, and/or sharp edges at the tips.
• Xanadu may be any color, and may display up to two colors within the marking, which may be blended together.
• The edge of Xanadu should be soft.

Examples:

• Blur alters any hard-edged marking on the Rixixi to be soft-edged. Blurred markings can go very slightly out of range due to being blended out of the range.
• If Blur is the only marking on the Rixixi (or if the only other markings are soft-edged), then Blur will not visibly appear on the design.
• Recessive Blur can modify the edge of one marking, while Dominant Blur can modify the edge of multiple - as many as the designer desires.

Examples:

Blur used on Skunk, which also has Lunar effecting it.

• Blaze can be any color, and may display up to two colors within the marking, which may optionally be blended together. Blaze may have patterns within itself, as long as it does not appear to be modified by another marking, such as Painted or Lunar.
• Blaze has no restriction on edge hardness. It can have cutouts in the marking.
• Blaze should cover at least 25% of the Rixixi. If originating at the face, it must cover the full face. If originating at the tail, it must cover the full tailtip.
• Blaze must stop at the middle of the Rixixi, giving it a maximum of 50%.
• Blaze can resemble Gradient without issue.

Examples:

• Windstorm must be some type of cloud shape - whether realistic or stylized, and what type of cloud, is up to the designer, so long as it registers as a cloud.
• The shape may be made up of shades lighter and/or darker than the base coat. There is no limit to how many shades may be included as long as they follow this rule.
• It may also optionally include one accent color. This may be any color, but only one.
• There is no edge hardness restriction for Windstorm so long as the overall shape can be easily read.

Examples:

• Must be white or a very pale off-white.
• Should be hard or textured-edged, must have a branching effect at the edges - subtle/small branching is allowed so long as it's there!
• At maximum, can appear on approximately 40% of the Rixixi, give or take (lenience is given in the case of large mutations on the body!), there is no minimum, but it must appear on the body visibly!
• Thunderstruck should display over most other markings.
• There can be a subtle, soft-edged halo on the edge of the marking, either off-white or lighter than the base coat. This is optional and is a design choice you can make if it would make Thunderstruck blend into the design better!

Examples:

• Tabby must be darker than the base coat. It may have a gradient, but it must be within a similar hue, not heavily two-toned.
• It is typically hard- or textured-edged. It should not be blended out, but can be somewhat soft-edged.
• It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
• Tabby Point and Spotted Tabby are okay to use!
• If using a Spotted Tabby pattern, to look like a variant of tabby rather than other markings, make sure to include some solid unbroken stripes, and have your broken/spotted stripes lined up in noticeable stripe patterns!

Examples:

Range:

• Must be lighter than base coat, or a light shade of tan.
• Edges should be hard or textured-edged.
• It should appear similar to the markings of a spectacled bear.

Examples:

• 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:

Range:

• Procyonid has no limits on edge hardness.
• Should be a darker shade of the base coat, or black.
• Procyonid should visibly appear on each separate zone - limbs, tail, eyes, ears. Funerary Rixixi do not have the mandatory eye/ear range.
• The tail must be striped.

Examples:

• Penumbra presents as a band of color outlining any marking. The band may be any color, and may be two-toned. Penumbra should be soft- or blended-edged regardless of the original marking's edge hardness.
• Markings modified by Penumbra are not visible other than their outline. Markings underneath them can be shown visibly, or stop at the outline as if the marking was filled in with the base coat.
• If Penumbra 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 Penumbra can create the outline of any marking that can be hard-edged. It should also remain soft- or blended-edged in this case.
• Recessive Penumbra can modify and outline one marking, while Dominant Penumbra can modify and outline multiple - as many as the designer desires.

Examples:

Penumbra modifying Unders


Penumbra modifying Squared
