★ ASTREAN FREE TRAITS

---

✦ These traits can be optionally applied FOR FREE at no additional cost when first creating an astrean or when first applying the astrean subtype to an existing character
✦ To add a free trait to an existing astrean that does not have them you can use a design change ticket.
✦ If the design currently has traits covered under the "free traits" section at the time of the initial update that were NOT applied with items: those traits can be swapped for other traits of the same rarity at no additional cost. You do not need a change ticket to make this change.

• Example: The design already has rare scales BEFORE being turned into an astrean. This means you can swap that to another rare trait during the initial update when converting them to an astrean.

⭐ KEEP THIS IN MIND

❗ Existing designs: IF YOU DO NOT SWAP UNCOMMON, RARE, AND MYTHIC TRAITS FROM THIS LIST AT THE TIME OF THE UPDATE: they will be converted into free traits when the design is converted to astrean and will not be swappable anymore. TRAITS PREVIOUSLY APPLIED WITH ITEMS CANNOT BE SWAPPED AT ALL.

❗ FREE TRAITS CANNOT BE SWAPPED AFTER APPROVAL they are locked to that specific trait! (IE: scales cannot be swapped to another rare trait on an existing astrean)

WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR DESIGN PLEASE MARK ALL FREE TRAITS WITH "✦ Astrean FREE trait"

EXTRA NOTES:

• SPARKLURE ANTENNAE only allow x1 set to be applied for free this way, additional placements will require additional copies of the trait
• Rare tail is LENGTH ONLY, other rare features will still require a rare potion!
• Wing charm applied to astreans does not require any visual indication, just provide a separate reference of the wings on the masterlist image if you are also applying wings.

★ ASTREAN Exclusive ADDON Traits

---

✦ When using a Stone of the Sea to create an astrean you can optionally apply +1 of the following traits at no additional cost.
✦ To add additional traits from this list you can use a Chromatic Conch

★ ASTREAN hybrid Traits

---

Traits that would require BOTH subtypes to achieve. SECTION IS A WIP and will be updated with references as other subtypes are completed! If using a hybrid/WIP trait you may have a higher chance of revisions and longer review times.

✦ Hiros + Astrean hybrids have the option of feathered back wings, dragon back wings, or a mix of the two. This applies to ALL wings on the design. IE: hiros body wings can be made into bat wings if the character has both subtypes.

★ Creating AN ASTREAN MYO

---

✦ THIS IS FOR: If you pair a Stone of the Sea with a MYO slot, are using an astrean MYO slot, OR are applying a Stone of the Sea with a reincarnation

✦ Your new MYO design/reincarnation is an astrean. You can use any free traits listed at no additional cost AND can apply +1 trait from the exclusive addon list.
✦ Design this like any normal MYO/reincarnation, just with the astrean options detailed above available to you!
✦ To add a standard form to an astrean without one you can use a Small Singularity item. Please submit this in a separate updated after the astrean is approved!

★ CHANGING A CHARACTER INTO AN ASTREAN

---

✦ THIS IS FOR: If you are applying a Stone of the Sea to an existing design

✦ You are able to apply the astrean subtyle to ONE or MULTIPLE forms the character has. If they only have one form, you are only changing that form.
✦ You can optionally apply +1 trait from the exclusive addon trait list.
✦ You can apply any free traits to the design at no additional cost
✦ If applying the astrean subtype to multiple existing forms at once the free traits and +1 astrean exclusive addon trait can be different per form.
✦ If the design currently has traits covered under the "free traits" section those rarities can be swapped for other traits of the same rarity at no additional cost. You do not need a change ticket to make this change.

• Example: The design already has rare scales BEFORE being turned into an astrean. This means you can swap that to another rare trait during the update.
• ❗ IF YOU DO NOT SWAP THESE TRAITS: they will be converted into free traits upon the design update and will not be swappable anymore.

★ Creating an astrean alt-form

---

✦ THIS IS FOR: If you are applying a Stone of the Sea to an existing design. DOES NOT APPLY TO NEW MYOS, ONLY EXISTING CHARACTERS.

❗ NEW! Please keep in mind this is still being tested and may be adjusted heavily in the future.

✦ Creates a NEW alt form for the character, does not affect or edit any of their existing forms. This new form is ONLY AN ASTREAN unless being paired with other subtype items.
✦ The new form can be up to 30% different to the original form in terms of colors and markings. (Pick 1 existing form to base them off of if they already have multiple, include this in the comments when submitting the design update). Consider it like a free dye kit.
✦ The new form can have any free astrean traits applied, +1 astrean exclusive addon trait, and +1 rare OR +1 uncommon trait for free. You can also use any common standard browbird traits.

✦ HOW DO TRAITS CARRY OVER?

✅ Legendary and special traits carry over as the exact same trait UNLESS the trait states otherwise in its description
✅ ALL MYTHIC traits optionally carry over at time of creation. This only applies to the main form you're basing this alt form on. It can be the same trait with different style or coverage. It can also be swapped to a different mythic trait at no extra cost (ONLY if it was not applied via item, ie traits marked with ✦ still have to be the same trait.)

❌ ANOMALIES do not carry over
❌ AUGMENTED TRAITS do not carry over
❌ Subtype-exclusive traits not not carry over and any traits gained for free with a different subtype.
❌ UNCOMMON AND RARE TRAITS DO NOT CARRY OVER AT ALL, you will have to re-trait the character.
❌ YOU CANNOT edit/swap traits across forms after approved. IE: if a form has an uncommon trait applied, you can't swap that over to a different form.

★ EDITING AN EXISTING ASTREAN

---

✦ THIS IS FOR: If you want to make changes to astrean traits OR remove the astrean subtype.

✦ When editing an astrean design you can:

• Change astrean trait and free trait coverage + sizing for free (IE: change fin size, plate scale coverage, etc)
• Remove any traits for free
• Use a change ticket to add on new free astrean traits or entirely change how they present (Ex: change wings to a totally new style, change where fins are placed)
• Use a change ticket tio SWAP any astrean exclusive addons if the design came with the trait. If the trait was applied with the Chromatic Conch it cannot be swapped for a different trait!
• Use a Pool of Reflection to REMOVE the astrean subtype from one or multiple forms. They will lose all free and exclusive traits if this is done!
• All other normal design editing rules apply, read them here.

✦ HOW TO EDIT AN ASTREAN ALT FORM AFTER CREATION

❗ Alt forms are edited entirely separately from other forms, consider them entirely separate designs under the same character. This means you can apply edits, dye kit use, and traits separately. (EX: you can apply 1 dye kit to each form to further push their colors away from each other)
❗ Traits and edits are only applied to ONE alt form when adding them. Pick ONE form to edit per update submission:

• If applying a change ticket, uncommon trait, rare trait, or dye kit you will have to do it separately per form and with separate items on separate design updates. If you want the same rare trait on 2 forms you need 2 rare potions and will have to submit 2 design updates (1 per form).
• EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE: If applying a new mythic trait, special trait. or legendary trait you can OPTIONALLY choose to apply the same trait to one form or multiple forms. They will still need to be submitted as separate design updates.
• EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE: If one form has a mythic, legendary, or special trait you can submit an update to apply it to other forms for free. 1 separate update submitted per form.
• For both exceptions above you must use the SAME TRAIT, but it can have a different style, sizing, and coverage at no extra cost.
• ❗ OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT SWAP TRAITS/SUBTYPES ACROSS FORMS AT ALL.
