Traits
Whiskers (Free Marking)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Visible whiskers on the muzzle and/or forehead. Can be black, white, or any color present on the Rixixi.
Whiskers are a bit different than other free markings due to being a physical feature that can be drawn on if desired!
Whiskers can be black, white, or any color found on the Rixixi. Off-black and off-white are perfectly fine!
Whiskers should not be much longer than the head. There isn't a strict maximum, but the muzzle whiskers on the Primal example above is slightly longer than the head, and could be used as a reference for where to stop.
Gradients are allowed:
As is stylizing the whiskers in a more cartoonish fashion, such as making them "float" off the face, so long as they're obviously whiskers and follow the above rules.

Unlike in Earth dogs, there are no known health problems for Rixixi caused by homozygous Merle.
You can go against this if you like for your own personal characters' lore, this note is just here to let folks know that it won't result in negative effects and rad sicknesses when bred for.
Examples:
Inkblot (nIn/InIn) (Common)

Range:
- Must be lighter than base coat, tan, or gold.
- Edges should be hard or textured-edged.
- It should be a mostly abstract or fully abstract shape - if it's a recognizeable shape (heart, actual sun, star, etc), it should appear as if it's a marking rather than a tattoo.
Modifying other markings:
Sun is not a full modifier, but can combine with certain markings.
Sun + Panda, Pangare, Tan, or Unders
Sun can combine with any of these markings by either cutting Sun's shape out of the chest marking or (if the marking is present elsewhere on the body as well) replacing the chest marking with the shape.Sun + Daggerstabbed:
Sun can combine with Daggerstabbed to make Daggerstabbed a hard-edged marking.
Sun + Spectacled:
Sun can combine with Spectacled to do one or both of the following effects:
- Make Spectacled gold
- Combine the two markings (Spectacled with a larger chest marking)
Examples:
Hexagon (nHex/HexHex) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Creates hexagonal or similarly shaped markings anywhere on the body. Typically clusters together in patches. Can be multiple colors.
- Hexagon can be any color, including bright ones, and may be three-toned.
- It should be shaped like a pattern of hexagons, octagons, pentagons, or similar geometrical shapes. It can be rough and "natural" looking, like a giraffe's spots.
- It can be hard-edged, lightly soft-edged, or lightly textured. It should not be blurred out or heavily textured.
- It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
Examples:
Groundbreaking (nGbk/GbkGbk) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Creates crackles across the body of the Rixixi, in any color, including bright ones. Can be two-toned.
- Groundbreaking can be any color, and may display up to two colors within the marking, which may be blended together.
- It should appear as a streak of color that branches off, as if making a "crack" or "lightning bolt" shape.
- It should be hard or textured-edged.
- Groundbreaking has no minimum, and can appear on multiple places on the Rixixi's body. It should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Rixixi.
Examples:
Gradient (nGr/GrGr) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Allows the base coat to show as a gradient. Gradient must be between colors that exist on the assigned base coat's sliders. Dominant Gradient can alter markings as well.
- Recessive Gradient appears only on the base coat, and should appear somewhere on the base coat - amount does not matter so long as it is visible.
- Gradient can between any colors from either of the swatches from the Rixixi's associated base coat. For instance, if your Rixixi is Skyburn with Gradient, you are allowed to take the hot pink from the bottom swatch and the orange-red from the top swatch and blend them together! You can also go for a subtler gradient and choose colors on the sliders that are closer together.
- Take care not to make Gradient too closely resemble pangare, sable, or other similar markings!
- Recessive Gradient must be locked to the base coat, but Dominant Gradient can also alter markings to have a gradient in them, either using the Rixixi's base coat swatches for gradient colors, or basing the gradient colors off the marking color rules (such as 'lighter or darker than base coat' or 'any colors').
Examples:
Flourish (nFlr/FlrFlr) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Creates markings that specifically appear on the frills, spines, pawpads, and other similar areas of a Rixixi.
Range:
- Flourish 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.
- Flourish has no minimum, but should be clearly visible on the Rixixi. It has no maximum, and can appear on any and all skin and 'extras' layers.
- Flourish does allow for markings on teeth without cosmetics!
- Flourish can present on all non-color mutations. Combination mutations that hybridize with color mutations and non-color mutations (such as Translucent) can be affected by Flourish. Fur Length mutations can show Flourish on the skin - for example, the entirety of Sphynx and the bald patches of Lykoi; however, Flourish cannot present on Long Fur.
- Flourish can resemble any common or uncommon marking, and still follows its own color rules. It can also make unique combinations of existing markings - for instance, Laouto's hooves are a combination of Ripple and Ticked intended to look like grass and vines.
Examples:
Fissure (nFssr/FssrFssr) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A stripe along the back. Can be any color.
Range:
- Fissure shares a range with Skunk nSku/SkuSku, with some changes to how the rules work - Fissure must display in the middle of the back, with stripes on the side being optional. Side stripes can travel down 50% of the body maximum, and can start and end at any point.
- If Fissure only displays along the back, it should not be a thick enough stripe to cover the entire range. Side and back stripes should have a noticeable gap between them, but can meet at the ends if desired.
- Fissure may be any color, and may display up to two colors within the marking, which may be blended together.
- Edge may be hard, textured, or somewhat soft. It should not be fully blended out.
Examples:
Fawn (nFw/FwFw) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Causes spots lighter than base coat, should be somewhat uniform in sizes/shapes.
- Fawn causes spots in a small-medium size, typically clustered together in a few separate areas. All fawn spots should be around the same size range - some minor size discrepancy is fine, and most often occurs on the outside of a cluster. They should be in a somewhat uniform pattern, the uniformity ranging from the spots on a fawn's back to more scale-like patterns.
- Must be lighter than the base coat.
- Edges should be hard, and not heavily textured. Light texturing is okay, but take care not to go overboard.
- Fawn can appear anywhere on the ixi. It is most commonly found on the back, but this is not mandatory!
