Traits

Origin

Category: Display

Origin allows you to add the markings and colors of any extant reptile to your dragon. It may apply to the body or the entirety of the body and wings. This will cover any markings beneath it. It may only take inspiration from a single species, which must be listed in Design Notes. If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included.

Texture Rules

The marking has no edge, therefore it has no texture.

Color Rules

This marking will only display the colors of the reptile species it imitates.

Layering Rules

This overrides all other display traits. If your dragon has a mutation, the mutation will override it.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. These may be colored either to match adjacent colors/markings or to imitate the reptile’s features.  If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included.

Charged Origin

Charged Origin allows you to use it as a base coat and display the other traits/markings on top.

 

Fairy

Category: Display

Fairy allows you to add the markings and colors of any bug or amphibian to your dragon. It must apply to at least one side of the dragon’s wings, but you may choose for it to cover the entire body. This will cover any markings beneath it. It may only take inspiration from a single species, which must be listed in Design Notes. If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included. While shells and tubes cannot be added, their patterns may be incorporated in areas that are not present on the animal normally (such as shell-colored wings on a slug-based dragon).

Texture Rules

The marking has no edge, therefore it has no texture.

Color Rules

This marking will only display the colors of the arthropod species it imitates.

Layering Rules

This overrides all other display traits. If your dragon has a mutation, the mutation will override it.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. These may be colored either to match adjacent colors/markings or to imitate the arthropod’s or amphibian’s features.  If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included. You may choose not to use Fairy on traits that are not part of the main body, or on one side of the wings. Examples include fins, horns, spines, and armor. Regular markings may appear in places unaffected by Fairy.

Charged Fairy

Charged Fairy allows you to use it as a base coat and display the other traits/markings on top.

 

Echo

Category: Display

Echo is a highly versatile marking that allows you to add one to two outlines to any number of your dragon’s markings. You may also include a transparent space in between outlines. You may make the marking itself transparent, with only the outlines showing. You can make the interior a different shape, as long as the outermost outline meets the normal edge criteria for the marking. The inner outline/marking may have faded edges, as long as its original shape is apparent. Outlines may be any color. The affected marking must still be within normal color rules. Below, you can find several different examples of outlined. The white/off white sections are transparent.

Echo may affect different markings in any way you choose. You may add one cyan outline to one marking, then a green and white outline to another. In the event that a marking covers the entire body (such as Origin), you may create a 'seam' in a location of your choosing.

Texture Rules

The outlines will follow the normal edge/texture rules of the marking.

In this example, Echo is affecting aurora, so the red Echo has the same gradient texture. It is also affecting the circuit-like marks, which creates a solid blue outline around a transparent marking.

Color Rules

Each outline may be any color, regardless of elemental rules. It will not display a gradient. It can be affected by Vibrancy, Spectrum, and other traits that affect color.

Layering Rules

This marking will be on the same layer as the marking it affects.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It will not outline modifiers.

Notable Interactions

  • Iridescence - When clipped to Echo, you may choose whether Iridescence appears on any of the echoes, the main mark, or a mix of the two. The only requirement is that it appears as iridescence clipped somewhere rather than a solid rainbow outline.

Charged Echo

Charged Echo allows you to use three outlines on your markings instead of two.

 

Wild

Category: Display

Wild allows you to add the markings and colors of any extant mammal or marsupial to your dragon. It may apply to the body or the entirety of the body and wings.

If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included.

You may choose not to use Wild on traits that are not part of the main body, though if wings are present, at least one side of the wings will be covered. Examples of optional areas include fins, horns, spines, and armor. Regular markings may appear in places unaffected by Wild.

Charged Wild

Charged Wild allows you to use it as a base and display the other traits/markings on top.

Somatic

Category: Display

Somatic creates a patch that covers between 25%-75% of the dragon. It may be one solid patch, or it can be interspersed like a merle or patchy pattern. The edges may be solid, textured, or a gradient. This patch lays on the bottom of all markings. It can be any color within elemental rules. Markings on top of it also change color according to elemental rules.

Color Rules

Somatic is a base that can be any color that the dragon's base can normally be (as long as it is different than the actual base). The markings on top of it are also changed within normal color rules. Here are some examples of Somatic using this shape.

somatic2.png

Layering Rules

The base of Somatic lays on the bottom. All markings above Somatic follow their color rules.

Shape

The base shape can be random or have a pattern (such as splitting the dragon equally down the middle or creating a checkerboard pattern).

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

This will affect the color of all modifiers and markings on top of it.

Interactions

  •  You may use color modifiers on it, but markings on top will still follow elemental color rules. All effects will only affect the bottom layer of Somatic.
  • Cover Traits - Marks that use a whole species as a reference still have to stick to the species chosen. If no known color variants are known, then a slightly darker or lighter patch will work, or the Somatic trait can be hidden entirely. If color morphs are known, then the pattern will stay the same but the color will match the morphs. Here is an example of a Somatic budgie which can be used for Somatic + Dancer.

Charged Somatic

Charged Somatic allows you to change the position of markings along with their color. This creates the illusion of a physical chimera (or a combination of two completely different marking/color designs). If a trait references species, then different species may be used.

 

Dancer

Category: Display

Dancer allows you to add the markings and colors of any bird to your dragon. It will take up 100% of the dragon’s body and override all other display traits or color modifier traits. It may only take inspiration from a single species, which must be listed in Design Notes. If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included.

Texture Rules

The marking has no edge, therefore it has no texture.

Color Rules

This marking will only display the colors of the bird species it imitates.

Layering Rules

This overrides all other display traits. If your dragon has a mutation, the mutation will override it.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits
It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. These may be colored either to match adjacent colors/markings or to imitate the bird species’s features. If the animal has bioluminescence, translucence, iridescence, transparent skin, or similar coloring traits, they may be included. Light effect modifiers, such as shimmer, iridescence, gilded, and so on may show through the marking. These traits still follow their regular rules and would either attach to Dancer as a whole or affect a single marking beneath it.

You may choose not to use Dancer on traits that are not part of the main body, though if wings are present, at least one side of the wings will be covered. Examples of optional areas include fins, horns, spines, and armor. Regular markings may appear in places unaffected by Dancer.

Charged Dancer

Charged Dancer allows you to use it as a base coat and display the other traits on top.

 

Veil

Category: Display

Veil is a marking that covers the whole body; You can erase soft holes into it, but it should generally stick to creases or folds/accent musculature if possible. It can be any color. It will always have soft edges. Veil may be layered in any order. In the example below, Veil is black, and the base of the dragon is red. You can see the rest of the dragon's marks through the holes in Veil. It may optionally be used as a light effect where light does not reflect off of the scales.

veil2.png

Color Rules

Veil may be any color. It can also be a gradient between a dark and desaturated color and any other color.

Layering Rules

Veil hides any marking it covers. Displaying even cover and pigment traits on top is optional. It can show on top of most things as a light effect. Any area without Veil or with holes in Veil will still show markings as usual. If Veil covers the entire dragon, then all other marks are optional (with the exception of Pollen). Light effects optionally still show through Veil.

Shape

Veil may cover the whole dragon or simply be in a few creases. As long as the edge is soft and 'scarce' areas are closest to creases, it can be any shape.

veil1.png

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things.

Interactions

  • Displaying any mark over Veil is optional--with one exception.
  • Pollen - Will always display on top of Veil. However, the color of Pollen may be slightly altered to match Veil where it touches.

Charged Veil

Charged Veil may use a gradient between any three colors.

 

Grunge

Category: Display

Grunge is an Ultra-rare marking that adds splotches of corrosion and scratches on any areas of your dragon’s body. It may be partial or the entirety of the body and can be any shape (as long as shapes are clearly part of the same marking). It should have some sort of texture to it. Alternatively, it can give a rough metal texture to an existing marking.

Color Rules

It may contain up to two colors from the metal color palette. Slight variations (such as red and yellow on orange Grunge) are allowed. The dragon below is considered as 'one color' even though yellow and red are visible in the splotches.

Untitled_Artwork.png

If it is making an existing marking textured, then changing the colors of that mark is optional. This means you can have a grungy neon green Aurora. (seen below)

 

Layering Rules

This trait may be layered like regular pigment traits (on top of all other marks) or you may layer it underneath. Additionally, this acts as both a Color Effect and Light Effect. When being used as an effect, it can be used on traits from any layer.

Shape

It will always have a textured interior, with splotches, drops, and scratches easily visible. The edge of the marking may either be heavily textured or solid. It will never have a soft edge. If using one color, it may be any shape or combination of shapes. It can cover a small part of the dragon, the whole dragon, or anywhere in between.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It can also appear on modifiers that are not touching the marking. On the wings, the stripes will always go from the arm to the bottom of the wing. It will never resemble barred.

Interactions

  • It can give a rough metal texture to an existing marking. If another marking already has a rough metal texture, then showing Grunge is optional. This includes Veined, Rusted, Patina, and similar marks or modifiers.
  • Frost - Grunge is optional when Frost presents as a texture.

Charged Grunge

Charged Grunge may use any two colors, even if they are not listed above or in the elemental color scheme.

Flaunt

Left to right: Zebra + Ripple, Collared + Rabicano, Sable + Spotted

-

Left to right: Fractal + Underbelly, Underbelly + Pangare, Tobiano + Chameleon

You may combine as many or as few markings as you desire. However, all markings must be recognizable. The Ripple + Zebra shows a very minimal zebra in the form of stripes. Underbelly + Pangare shows a few small blurry areas among the normal underbelly.
