Traits

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:

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:

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.
• Other good real life examples include circuitboard patterns, literal mazes, and ball python morphs with thin patterns such as pinstripe and super blast
• It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.

Examples:

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

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:

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:

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:

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:

Can present as random speckles of glowing lights, OR modify a single marking to a vibrant, glowing color. Dominant Bioluminescence can modify multiple markings or modify marking(s) and create glowing speckles. Can also cause the skin of the Ixi to glow.

Range:

"Speckled Bioluminescence" spots have the same range of size as Inkblot, but most commonly remain small, more like Fawn or even Snowflake. It may cluster together to create larger areas of glow as well.

• Bioluminescence follows the range and edge texturing rules of the marking it modifies. The only thing that changes is the color and that it can glow.
• Bioluminescence overrides the color of the modified marking. It should always be bright, saturated, or pale colors; dark bioluminescence is fairly unheard of, but it can be desaturated (or even white) if it is pale.
• It should also have a soft-edged glow around the marking, this should not stray too far outside the linework of the Ixi. Skin, fins, and the like may also glow.
• Recessive Bioluminescence (nLum) can create Speckled Bioluminescence OR modify one marking. Dominant Bioluminescence (LumLum) can create Speckled Bioluminescent AND/OR modify any number of markings.
