Traits

What falls under this trait:

• The ears grow from the top or sides of the head, with the ends pointing to the sides.

Design Notes:

• This trait must still comply with the ear length restrictions;
• This trait does not apply to and is not combined with the “animal ears” trait, as animal ears have the default features of both iron and golden ears;
• Iron ears and golden ears are an improvement on the existing ears. This means that the position of the ears, how the tips of the ears bend, and where the ends of the ears point are the only things that change from these traits. The shape of the ears (e.g. aquatic or pointed) does not change and depends on the ears of the subspecies;
• Iron ears and golden ears can be combined with each other. For example, the ears will be on the sides of the head (iron ears), but their ends will point downward (golden ears);
• If the ears are tilted too much, they will be assigned the more “expensive” trait. Thus, if the ears are not horizontal but not vertical, they will be given the “iron ears” trait. Similarly, if the ends of the ears are too far down, they will be assigned the trait “golden ears”.

Redesign Notes:

• This trait can be removed with a “dust eraser” with an accompanying redesign.

What falls under this trait:

• A dome that has the distinctive features of the other two domes.

Design Notes:

• The dome may be a non-hermetic if the horns extend beyond the dome. 

Redesign Notes:

• The trait relating to the shape of the dome cannot be removed and is mandatory;
• The dome shape can be freely seeded to another shape of the same rarity;
• If only a certain subspecies can have a dome shape (e.g. winged dome or snake dome), they can also be changed to another base shape (onion, cat, round) and back again;
• A golden dome shape can be changed to a base dome shape but not back.

What falls under this trait:

• For plumii: The essence inside the crystal takes the form of one of the elements: liquid, plant, flame, smoke;
• For kazuli: The slime in the part of the body where the absorbed object is contained also contains essence, which looks like liquid, plant, flame, smoke.

Design Notes:

• Elemental essence can be one of four possible types:
  • Liquid - the essence takes on the appearance of a liquid. In this case, the essence does not completely fill the crystal;
  • Plant - essence takes on the appearance of vegetation, mostly leaves or sprouts;
  • Flame - the essence takes on the appearance of a flame. In this case, the essence can move to simulate combustion;
  • Smoke - the essence takes on the appearance of smoke. In this case, the essence can move, such as spinning, or temporarily become transparent.
• Basic essence:
  • "Basic essence" trait is specified by default in plumii or kazuli characters. The “Elemental essence” trait can replace “Basic essence” with Diamond tincture;
  • “Elemental essence” or "Basic essence" traits, must be present in every plumii or kazuli character for informational purposes.
• The essence, locator and crystal are colored the same. So the essence inside the kazuli's body is the same color as the slime and the locator.
• The type of essence affects the character's magical abilities.
• 11 august update: The crystal shell may be opaque, so the elemental essence may not be visible but will be present in the list of traits.
• 11 august update: If you have a working plumii, you need to first add elemental essence, using diamond tincture. Next, you need to create a claim, add diamond tincture to it, and attach a character to add magic to the character. The magic will correspond to the element of the essence. You don't have to redesign the character unless you don't want the elemental essence to be visible.

To add magic / elemental essence:

• For working plumii / omnivorous kazuli: 
  • Create a claim, attach diamond tincture and a character to it to add elemental essence. Be sure to specify the type of elemental essence you want;
  • If you want to add magic, create a claim, attach a character, and add a diamond tincture. The magic will correspond to the essence element;
  • You can add two diamond tinctures at once to avoid creating multiple claims and add both essence and magic.
• For a hybrid subtype:
  • Create a claim, attach a diamond tincture and a character. The magic will be added according to the grimoire. If the hybrid character consists of subtypes whose elements neutralize each other, the magic will be added as if it were a “working” subtype character.
• For all other subtypes:
  • Create a claim, attach a character, and add a diamond tincture. The magic will correspond to the character's body (subtype) element;
  • If you want combined magic, first add the elemental essence to the character. Create a claim, attach the character and two diamond tinctures. Specify the type of elemental essence you want. The magic will be added according to the grimoire.

Redesign Notes:

• This trait may be replaced with the “Basic essence” trait with diamond tincture.

Item Required: Diamond tincture

Hypnomagic

Requirements:

• Plumii of subspecies vampire;
• Plumii hybrid that includes the vampire subspecies.

Development of magic:

1. Basic ability to understand the emotions of other beings. Plumii with Hypnomagic can gain remnant of any emotion with magical practice.
2. Next, a Plumii vampire can hypnotize a sentient creature. The victim falls into a stupor or sluggishly complies with the vampire's demands. Have you always dreamed of a vampire detective?
3. At the third level of hypnomagic, a vampire can create crystal bats. These pets collect and bring remnant emotions or jewels to their master.
4. At the final level, the vampire can turn into a large bat, allowing vampires to travel long distances without resorting to air magic.

Applies to: plumii and kazuli.

What falls under this trait:

• Multicolor crystal / chest locator, as well as other body parts whose color depends on the color of the essence;

Design Notes:

• The color of the following traits / body parts depends on the color of the essence:
  • crystal (for plumii)
  • dome (for plumii)
  • chest locator (for kazuli)
  • locators inside antennas and tail tip (for kazuli)
  • visual aura (plumii and kazuli)
• The maximum number of colors in essence's palette is four;
• The mentioned body parts, except for the crystal and the chest locator, can have only one color from the essence palette, not all possible colors. Thus, if the crystal has three colors: red, blue, yellow, the dome can have all three colors or only red;
• The implication is that the entire slime of kazuli has all colors of essence, but a transparent section can have only one color from the essence palette.

Redesign Notes:

• This trait can be removed with a “dust eraser” with an accompanying redesign.
