Traits

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.

Examples:

Causes a marking to change color into an alternate color scheme. If no other markings exist on the Ixi, can modify free markings. Dominant Chameleon can modify multiple markings on the Ixi, or cause one marking to have into 3+ color schemes.

• You must supply both the original color scheme, and the altered color scheme. One must be the actual import, and one can be a sta.sh file. This can be linked near the Personality section of the import if you like (see Old Dog in the Examples)
• One of the color schemes must follow the marking's original color rules (examples: Unders must be lighter/darker than base, Ticked must be darker than base).
• One of the color schemes can be any color if the designer so desires.
• Dominant chameleon can modify multiple markings on the Ixi, or cause one marking to change into three or more colors. If you choose the latter, the additional color schemes follow the "any color" rules.
• Flesh/Nails/Frills/etc (and mutations that follow the Flesh, Nails, and Frills rules) can be a color from the alternate color scheme on both versions of the import! They can also change colors between versions (whether or not a marking is being affected)!

Examples:

Old Dog, with Chameleon modifying Groundbreaking


Raiiax, with Chameleon modifying Poison Dart. Note that the tail tuft is eyedropped from the alternate color.

Can present as random speckles of any base color, OR modify a single marking to any single base color. Dominant Glitter can modify multiple markings or modify marking(s) and create colorful speckles.

Range:

"Glitter Spots" are often not be much larger than Minimum Inkblot, generally around Snowflake size, though it can reach a size a bit smaller than Fawn.

• Glitter follows the range and edge texturing rules of the marking it modifies. The only thing that changes is the color.
• Glitter overrides the color of the modified marking, making it the color of any other base coat.
• Recessive Glitter (nGlt) can create Glitter Spots OR modify one marking. Dominant Glitter (GltGlt) can create Glitter Spots AND/OR modify any number of markings. Dominant glitter, if modifying multiple markings, can present in multiple colors, so long as the colors are all picked from the same base coat.

Examples:

Can present as a gradient of any base color on the base OR any marking. Dominant Horizon can modify multiple markings or modify marking(s) and alter the base color.

• Horizon is effectively a hybrid of the markings Gradient and Glitter, and as such, its rules read similarly to a mixture of the two:
• Recessive Horizon (nHz) can modify the base coat by adding a gradient taken from any base coat swatch OR one marking by altering it to a gradient taken from any base coat swatch. Dominant Horizon (nHzHz) can modify the base coat AND/OR any amount of markings. Dominant Horizon, if modifying multiple markings, should have all colors picked from the same base coat.
• If altering a marking, Horizon covers the entire marking. The original marking color should not be visible.
• Horizon overrides the color rules of any affected marking(s), but keeps the edge hardness rules.
• If altering the base coat, the original base color and Horizon color should both be visible.
• Much like the marking Gradient, the gradient caused by Horizon can be between any colors from either of the swatches from the chosen base coat.

Examples:

Appears as blobs of color glowing from inside the Rixixi. Can also present as blobs and/or streaks in blood color-altered zones, including skin, fins, etc. Dominant Lava Lamp can display any amount of colors, and can cause the entirety of skin/frills/blood color/etc to glow.

• Lava Lamp can be any color. It can have a gradient, and while it cannot be made up of two entirely different colors in recessive form, the gradient does not have to be subtle as long as the colors making it up are vaguely related. Shading the marking is allowed and recommended!
• The marking is made up of random, medium-to-large blobs around the body, typically based in shape on the floating wax mixture in actual Lava Lamps. There is no restriction on edge hardness as long as the shape can still be made out. It should also have a soft-edged glow around the marking, this should not stray too far outside the linework of the Ixi.
• Due to originating from inside the Rixixi, Lava Lamp can appear partially in the blood of the Rixixi, allowing streaks or blobs of the Lava Lamp color to appear in any marking or mutation altered by the Rixixi's blood color (eg. Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, E. Porphyria), as well as the skin, frills, etc. Will always be visible inside the Rixixi when paired with Translucent/Partial Translucence.
• Lava Lamp should be translucent when it appears over fur, markings below it should appear at least slightly through it. Lava Lamp markings on skin, frills, and the like can be at full opacity.
• Recessive Lava Lamp (nLamp) creates Lava Lamp blobs of one general color, and also cause streaks and spots of glow in the Rixixi's blood/skin. Dominant Lava Lamp (LampLamp) can create Lava Lamp markings with any amount of colors and also any amount of glow in the Rixixi's blood/skin.
