Traits

Genekits with this trait have learned how to grow scales! These scales can be a smattering of individual scales, patches, or can cover the entirety of the Genkits body (replacing their fur). These scales are always in a natural shape, similar to those of a reptile or fish.

Genekits with this trait have learned how to grow feathers! These feathers can be individuals, in patches, or can cover the entirety of the Genkits body (replacing their fur). These feathers are always in a natural shape, similar to those of a bird.

*If a Genekit has feathered wings, they would need both the feather and wing traits

Genekits with this trait have learned to turn either part of themselves, or all of themselves iridescent! Iridescent Genekits (or at least the parts of them affected by this trait) will slowly change colour depending on the angle you are viewing them and the lighting at the time. This effect is similar to the effect of some beetles, birds, reptiles and fish. This change in colour is not something they can control, as it is based on how the light interacts with them

Luminescent Genekits have learned how to make their bodies glow! This can be parts of their bodies, or their entire body could glow in the dark like a glowstick. This trait is similar to the luminescence found in certain fish and invertebrates. Some Genekits are able to control when they glow, others are not able to control it and glow all the time or with strong emotions.

Genekits with Chitin or Plating have armour- or shell-like plates protruding from their bodies, similar to the carapace of some invertibrates (beetles/crabs/shrimp) or animals like armadillos. These plates have clear beginnings and ends.

Physical ailments are mostly missing apendages. Missing eyes, toes, and ears, amputated legs and tails. These missing apendages can be replaced with prosthetics. Physical ailments can also include other ailments not listed here if you wish.

Please be respectful when using these traits.  These traits should not be used for purely aesthetic reasons, and should be relevant to their character arc.

*This is the one trait that cannot be freely removed.  In order to remove a physical ailment, you must use a ___ (healing item) available ____ (store name) for each ailment you are removing.

Genekits who only have Mammalian traits, and no other additional traits, standard or otherwise, would be given this trait instead of listing all all the standard traits individually.

Genekits with this trait have permanently adopted human-style hair. They can grow it out quite long if they take proper care of it.

Genekits with this trait have antennae similar to those of bugs and crustaceans. These feelers come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.

Due to the fact that wings are (typically) such large additional, functional structures to a Genekit's anatomy, these traits are harder for a Genekit to learn, despite them being something found on other animals. These wings are always fully functional, meaning Genekits with this trait are able to fly, even if acording to all laws of aviation, there is no way a Genekit should be able to fly.

These wings always come in pairs, and can be placed anywhere on the body (i.e. back, ankles, on the tail, etc.) A Genekit can learn to add additional sets of wings with practice (i.e. multiple applications of this trait allows for even more sets of wings)

*If the wings add additional traits based on placement/type of wing, you will need that trait as well. For example, if you want feathered wings, you will also need to add the feather trait. If you wings have scales, you will need the scale trait. If you are replacing the ears with wings, you will need a unique ear trait.

Genekits with this trait have scales that do not follow the typical shapes of scales found on animals. For example, they could look like sea shells, stars, buttons, etc.

For the various other weird and wonderful traits found on mammals acros the world.  Things like elephant tusks, fur types, ect. Any other standard traits you want listed for your genekit that do not fit undr any other trait category
