Traits

Some Genekits have figured out how to manipulate markings on their coats in very small amounts. Simple things like turning a heart shaped marking into a broken heart, or stars into moons.

**These changing markings should be very minimal to the design, taking up no more than 10% of the design.

Genekits with this trait have been able to turn parts of their form into an element entirely! You may see Genekits with this trait with limbs made entirely out of plant matter, or a tail that is entirely made of water. Some Genekits will even have fire where their fur should be!

Genekits with this trait have halos around their head and/or other body parts, or light-producing apparitions around them (Example, wings made of light). These apparations are generated by the Genekit themselves.

Genekits with this affliction have larger horns protruding from their body. These horns should not be smaller than 1/2 of the Genekit's head. This affliction gives up to 6 abnormally placed horns per side each time it is contracted. (i.e. multiple applications of this trait allows for even more abnormally placed horns)

**Not all horns applied with this trait have to be in the larger size category. Only one needs to be this size to qualify.

Genekits with this affliction have permanently exposed bones or organs - it can be unsettling to look at. The nature of the affliction keeps them alive despite their gruesome appearance.

Genekits with this trait have a metallic shimmer to them, as if they were made of a precious metal of some kind or another. This can affect their entire body, parts of them, or individual markings

Genekits with this trait have glowing eyes! Some Genekits are able to control when their eyes glow, others are not able to control it and glow all the time or with strong emotions.

Genekits with this trait glitter and sparkle in the light. This sparkling can affect their whole body, or only certain parts/markings. These sparkles can occasionally shed off the Genekit, leaving a trail of sparkles behind them. Some Genekits are more prone to glitter-shed than others.

Genekits with this trait have been able to incorparate elemental aspects into their form. For example, you may see Genekits with plants growing on them, or rock- or crystal-like growths. They may also be constantly dripping, as if the are always wet, or appear to have bits of flame covering their bodies without them getting burnt. This trait also covers Genekits who appear to be constantly crying

This trait allows for 1 type of elemental growth per application. Elemental growths should not cover more than 50% of the genekit, no matter how many applications used. In the case of plant growth, you can have up to 3 different plant types per application (e.g. 1 application would allow for roses, lilies and orchids. But if you also wanted to add tulips, you would need another trait application)

Genekits with this trait are able to change their colour palette at will. This can affect their entire body, or individual markings.

*Each new colour palette is it's own trait. For example, if you wanted 3 palettes (original + 2 alt palettes) you would need 2 applications of this trait.

*This trait is only required to be added to a Genekit if clarity on the trait is needed (i.e. what mammal the trait is from)
