Traits
Runemeld (+Rune) (Non-Passable)
- May be any color, and should give off a glow.
- Should be inorganic patterns of runes or general geometric shapes.
- There is no minimum, but it should appear visibly on the design. There is no maximum and it may appear as a fullbody marking if desired.
Examples:
Gemcrafted genes do not pass to offspring without the Body Glitter skill. They cannot be dominant, and cannot be added with geno-editing items other than their own shards. When passable, Gemcrafted genes pass at an Uncommon rate.
Leyline (+Ley) (Non-Passable)
You seem to be missing something.
Found in the Mymber Pack: Standard | Primal | Domestic
Leyline is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding. It is obtained via the Enchanted Veil item.
- Leyline is primarily a lineart edit. Markings appear as they usually would beneath the new lines, but facial features do not. Leyline removes all facial features from the Rixixi. Features that appear on the head, but not the face (eg. horns) can optionally show.
- A Mutation Station can be used to replace the default Leyline with a completely flat face (or otherwise customize the facial shape). Facial features should still not show.
- Ears are optional and can be removed without the use of a scarification kit.
- Misplaced Eyes can appear on the face.
- Mutations that appear partially on the face and partially on the rest of the body should only have their facial piece removed - for example, the cephalic horns of Ray would not appear on a Leyline Rixixi, but the Ray cape would. Mutations that appear partially on the head and partially on the body can have their head part removed without a scarification kit, but this is optional (eg. the head fin of Mackerel)
- The Rixixi's blood color can optionally be a shade of blue due to Leyline influence.
The following mutations cannot show at all on a Rixixi with Leyline. They can present in the geno and pass in breeding.
- Beak
- Fanged
- Flat Teeth
- Four Eyes
- Fringehead
- Hypno Eyes (without Many/Misplaced eyes)
- Mandible Fangs
- Rows
- Sharps
- Tongue Teeth
- Triple Snooter
- Whorl
Rixixi with Leyline cannot be Cursed, but are not treated as a Ghost (unless they have +Ghost or another item that treats them as such)
Snared (+Snare) (Non-Passable)
A Sanguine Snare seems rather... attached to you.
Found in the Mymber Pack: Standard | Primal | Domestic
Snared is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Snared mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with a Blade Snare item!
- Can be any color lighter or darker than the base coat, can be any marking color on the Rixixi, can be any natural skin tone color, or can be any color on the base coat swatch. Optionally, can take on the Rixixi's blood color.
- Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.
- Teeth should match the color of the Rixixi's existing teeth.
- A Mutation Station can change the shape into any sort of parasitic plant, or fantasy/horror versions thereof. Sanguine Snares are often similar in shape to earthlike parasitic plants to an extent, but fleshy and covered in teeth due to their origins in the Chasm. Feel free to lean closer to 'plant' or closer to 'chasm' when designing a custom Snare.
Blaze (nBlz/BlzBlz) (Uncommon)
- 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:
Thunderstruck (nTnd/TndTnd) (Uncommon)
- 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:
Iridescence (nIri/IriIri) (Uncommon)
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:
Jack O'Lantern (nJol/JolJol) (Uncommon)
- Should be a bright color, with at least a subtle glow surrounding it.
- The marking should be hard-edged, though the glow should be blended out.
- At maximum, can appear on approximately 20% 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!
- Jack O'Lantern is a very variable marking, effectively making a "tattoo" that glows. It should usually be inorganic (not a natural marking), but there's a lot of lenience. As such, the Examples section also contains four shapes that would be legal (though they don't have glow, they're just there as shape examples.) - this is far from an exhaustive list of legal examples, but we wanted to have some visuals available!
Examples:
Kaurphyt Lines (nKph/KphKph) (Uncommon)
- 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:
Labyrinth (nLby/LbyLby) (Uncommon)
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:
Mirror (nMir/MirMir) (Uncommon)
Reverses color requirements on a single marking of the designer's choice - if originally darker than base, the marking can be lighter, or vice versa.
- Reverses color requirements on a single marking - if marking is originally listed as being "darker than base", Mirror can make it so it would instead be "lighter than base", or vice versa for "lighter than base" markings.
- For markings that are locked to a single color, such as Daggerstabbed, this can reverse the color requirement to the opposite end of the spectrum - this does not have to be a literal inversion of color in your art program, the opposite end of the color wheel is fine (eg, blue/green for unmodified Daggerstabbed).
- This can modify color-restricted elemental mutations as well, such as creating blue Magmatic, dark Vital, or desaturated Toxic! These can be modified even if a marking is already modified!
- Mirror does not affect markings without clearly defined color rules, or markings with "lighter or darker than base coat" color rules, or any other base coat rules with no logical opposite. Unfortunately, as a result, a Rixixi with only markings such as those, or no markings at all, can only carry Mirror and not display it (unless they choose an elemental mutation that allows Mirror modification once they reach the needed level!)
- Mirror can invert the color of teeth if the designer desires, and this does not use up the one marking use of Recessive Mirror.
- Recessive Mirror can modify the color of one valid marking, while Dominant Mirror can modify the color of multiple - as many as the designer desires.
Examples:
Rahkarrik showing Sable mirrored to light colors.
Winterlily showing Daggerstabbed mirrored to teal, and Vital mirrored to have a dark "glow" along their back.
Markings being affected by Mirror in order: Tan, Spectacled, Snowflake
Mojave (nMjv/MjvMjv) (Uncommon)
Thick, serpentining stripes that one might see on some morphs of ball pythons. Cutouts and/or sudden keyhole-shaped curves with spots inside are allowed and recommended!
- Mojave is based off the markings found on Mojave and Arroyo ball pythons, mainly, but as long as it's fairly recognizable as the same basic shape, it's fine!
- Mojave must be 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 darker than the base coat.
- 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:
Panda (nPan/PanPan) (Uncommon)
Penumbra (nPnum/PnumPnum) (Uncommon)
- 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:
Poison Dart (nDart/DartDart) (Uncommon)
Abstract blocks of color, much like the markings on a poison dart frog. Can be any color, and can be two-toned.
- Poison Dart can be any color, and may be two-toned.
- It is typically hard-edged.
- It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
- There may be cutouts in the marking, and the shape of the markings can be abstract or even somewhat geometric. Poison Dart frogs can be referenced - the marking does not have to be directly copied from a frog, as long as it brings them to mind, it should pass, but if you'd like to link a specific frog you referenced then that works as well!
Examples:
Procyonid (nPr/PrPr) (Uncommon)
Ripple (nRip/RipRip) (Uncommon)
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:
Rosettes (nRs/RsRs) (Uncommon)
Similar to a leopard, snow leopard, jaguar, clouded leopard, or other similar animal's spots.
- Rosettes should mimic the rosette/spot pattern of the above big cats. It can also mimic non-rosette patterns from the same cats, such as the face and tail markings on Sezzeqh 0002. The design must contain spots, no matter what other markings are referenced. If mimicking non-rosettes, please make sure to link a reference. If mimicking the spots of a big cat not listed above, please link a reference.
- The outer ring of rosettes must be darker than the base coat.
- Rosettes can be hard-, textured-, or lightly soft-edged, but should not be fully blended out.
- Rosettes can appear anywhere on the ixi, and commonly appears over a large portion of the body.
Examples:
Splash (nSpl/SplSpl) (Uncommon)
A gradient of any base coat that blends into one marking. Dominant Splash can modify multiple markings.
- Splash should blend fully into the other marking while still showing part of the original marking's color. Small markings like Snowflake or Ticking do not have to show the blend perfectly but should still show both the original marking color and the Splash color.
- The gradient in Splash can be between any colors from either of the swatches from the chosen base coat.
- If no other marking exists on the Rixixi, Splash can create a Pangare-like marking in a gradient of any base coat.
Examples:
Tabby (nTab/TabTab) (Uncommon)
- 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!
