Trait Categories

Default Anatomy

The default anatomy of a species.

These features do NOT need to  be included on the masterlist.

Type

Type is the same as subspecies.

For Characters with multiple or hybrid subspecies, they will have their additional subpsecies listed out as traits instead so that they can still be searched. 

When creating a MYO please include their subspecies in the traits section as well! The default is standard.

Aspect

QUICK NOTES:

★ When creating a new standard browbird you must pick at least 1 aspect, choosing a second is optional.
★ When creating a new painted satyr their first aspect depends on their mask type, choosing a second is optional. The mask aspect is LOCKED
★ When creating a new kitbull choosing an aspect is optional unless a trait requires one!
★ You can change aspects you add later using items if they are not bound to any traits! (Basically you'll need to remove an aspect trait before swapping the aspect!)

★ If a trait REQUIRES an aspect you'll need that aspect before applying the trait. This is true for any elemental traits and several kitbull peculiars.

  • The only exception is painted satyr masks! If you choose a particular mask type you get that aspect for free and do not need to use a tome/purchase an aspect. This includes split masks! For example: a rare metal+gemstone mask will give you the metal AND crystal aspect for free + you'll always have 1 empty aspect slot on top!

★ ASPECT ITEMS


  • TOMES can fill an EMPTY SLOT if your character has one!
  • Tomes can be used from your inventory, no updated needed!
  • You choose which aspect to from what's available on the tome
  • Common aspects are free at the time of creation and when updating a design, but if you aren't submitting new art or a trait update you can add it yourself using a common tome for convinence!
  • SPECIAL ASPECTS cannot currently be added with tomes, but will be in the future!
  • ALL TOMES can be purchased for game currency! All aside from common can be crafted as well.

  • UNIVERSE PAGES add new aspect slots
  • ASPECT ALTERATIONS swap an aspect your character has to another of the same or lower rarity! Or a higher rarity if paired with a tome.
  • ASPECTS CANNOT BE RETURNED TO AN EMPTY SLOT!

★ ASPECT SLOTS


  • Standard characters start with 2 aspect slots you may choose any common aspect OR an aspect of a higher rarity if your slot allows for it or if you have a tome!
  • The 1st slot on a painted satyr always matches their mask material, and they will gain +1 extra aspect for each mask material they have.
  • Rare subtypes get x3 aspect slots
  • Mythic subtypes get x4 aspect slots
  • Legendary subtypes get x5 aspect slots
  • Universe pages are IN ADDITION TO subtype slots! So you won't lose them.

★ WHAT ARE THEY FOR?


★ IN CHARACTER POWERS

  • Your character's abilities can be anything relating to their aspects, even vaguely! Have fun with it. Ex: Speech aspect could give them the ability to understand other languages, high charisma that allows them to charm others with words, a singing voice that can summon spells, a booming or screeching voice that can do damage, the ability to summon/read/manipulate runic texts, and so on!
  • You can show their powers in prompts!

★ CERTAIN TRAITS

  • Some traits REQUIRE an aspect to use like many elemental kitbull peculiar traits
  • Other traits have special variants that are an elemental effect resembling the aspect. Such as mega brows, aura breath, blight mask, and more!
  • Check trait info to see if the trait allows for elemental effects! More will be added in the future.
  • Not all aspects can be represented by every elemental trait!

★ ELEMENTAL APPAREL

  • Some apparel items grant a small bonus when worn if they match an aspect on the character!

★ CERTAIN PROMPTS

  • COMING SOON!
  • Some prompts may explore aspects or require a specific one!

★ Aspect Domains

Celestial

Mind

Substance

Void

Each aspect falls into one of the four domains. These domains govern all magic across the universe and are foundational forces in how it functions. They also correspond to the four layers of reality that form the entire structure of everything in the celestial seas. Some aspects exists on the boarder of a domain, and there has been a long history of disputes and heated research papers surrounding the classifcation and naming of aspects.

The aspects themselves are how living beings have come to understand and categorize powerful concepts, and giving names to the generalized fields each aspect represents is why people are able to learn how to manipulate them. Magic is possible through a combination of the soul's energy itself, and willpower, belief, memories emotion, connections, or contracts - aspects as concepts can be influenced by such things.

Most wielders of magic will find learning aspects from a domain they're unfamiliar with far more difficult, especially if it's from the opposing domain. Void users will struggle more with learning celestial aspects, substance users struggle more with mind aspects, and vise versa! Adjacent aspects within the same domain and rarity would be the easiest to learn, such as stone and water.

For character creation you don't have to stick to one domain!

Crest

Hold it! This is a feature exclusive to browbirds.

★ Quick Crest Info


The crest counts as only one trait total. You may add as many crest features as you want of the same or lower rarity.
✅ ADDING ANY FEATURE OF A HIGHER RARITY determines the rarity of the WHOLE crest. Ie: If your crest is all common with a single rare feature it is a rare crest!
✅ FOR MYO SLOTS ONLY trait potions can be used for crest rarity. Potions no longer work for this AFTER the design is on the masterlist.
✅ YOU CAN MAKE MINOR EDITS TO YOUR CREST LATER. Color changes are free, adding new effects of the same or lower rarity costs 1 Appearance Change Ticket.
❌ Trait potions cannot be used on an EXISTING browbird's crest.
❌ Crest features cannot be removed if it will drop crest rarity
❌ Crest features/rarity cannot be swapped out to add rarity elsewhere on a design

‼️ KEEP IN MIND YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR CREST SHAPE OR CREST RARITY LATER! Crest editing items are planned but not available yet, however the crest IS still intended to be a character choice, so consider it carefully!

If you are designing a common crest simply pick a BRIGHT COLOR and a simple common shape (ex: star, flame, orb) and you're done! If you want to get into the specifics and maybe get more funky with your characters crest design... Read on!

VIEW CREST INFO

★ REQUIRED: Crest Shapes

The main part of the crest! You must pick something close to one of these shape options. You can tweak the shape from the examples slightly as long as it follows the same idea and does not resemble a crest of a different type/rarity.

Common Shapes
Uncommon Shapes
Rare Shapes
Mythic Shapes

Note: Crest shapes have an overhaul planned in the future!


★ OPTIONAL: Crest Effects

Effects are MODIFIERS you can add to your crest. Effects are considered in the crest's total rarity (ie: common shape + rare effect = rare crest). You can use and combine as many different effects as you want of the same or lower rarity to your crest. Click the icons to read more about effects!

213-image.png


★ MULTIPLE CRESTS

When creating a NEW DESIGN if you have a rare crest you can instead pick up to TWO CREST SHAPES of rare or below rarity and combine them. (ex: star + halo to create a star with a ring around it. Two flames, one above each horn would also be possible!) The shapes can float separately or be linked together in some way. If the two shapes are combined together in any way they cannot resemble a crest of a higher rarity!

Mythic rarity crests allow you to pick up to three crest shapes following the same rules!


★ Crest color & PATTERNS

COMMON AND UNCOMMON CRESTS MUST BE ANY BRIGHT OR PASTEL COLOR. This includes ALL parts of the crest. Crests are meant to be BRIGHT AND GLOWING by default, anything else has lore implications! If you want a dark saturated color see rare effects, if you want a black/gray/mostly white crest see mythic effects.



Below are some examples of perfectly common crest colors! Your hues are not limited to these.


COMMON AND UNCOMMON CRESTS can have gradients and use up to TWO entirely different colors. White is not counted in the 2 color limit! If you'd like 3+ colors or a rainbow crest please see rare effects.

Crests can also have simple patterning
✅ SIMPLE, FLAT-SHAPED PATTERNS ONLY
✅Abstract patterns/swirls, geometric shapes, cheker pattern, hearts, twinkles, stars, zig-zags, stripes, spots, and vague ornate designs are all okay.
❌ Patterning cannot resemble a feature of a higher rarity, ex: drawing a detailed rose crest inside an orb crest
❌ Patterns cannot look like text or numbers
❌ Patterning should not resemble things like hands, teeth, eyes, locations, photos, mirrors, animals
❌ You cannot slap an image off google images onto your crest
❌ All crest patterns are flat and rest on the surface of the crest, they do not have texture or raised areas!

Below are some examples of crest color and patterns!




★ Crest SIZING AND PLACEMENT

Crests are always placed above the head between or above the horns by default. Their size can also be adjusted to be slightly larger or slightly smaller. You can flip them upside down and rotate them to different angles. For certain mythic crests they can instead be placed behind the head/upper back, please see specific crest shape info for more details!

Below are the MAXIMUM ALLOWED SIZES OF ANY CREST. Including ALL particles, effects and multiple crests, they cannot extend past these limits. Common crests can be 1x head height, rare crests can be 1.5x head height, and mythic crests can be up to 50% body height. There is only an exception made for common-rare crests with the blazing effect, details here.

SIZING IS ALWAYS PROPORTIONAL TO YOUR CHARACTER and how they are being drawn!

CREST LORE

It's being reworked to be worded better but will mostly stay the same!

Mask

Hold it! This is a feature exclusive to painted satyr. If you're character is a browbird  or kitbull you can skip this section!

Horns

Browbird Horn Information

Browbird Horns

You can see all browbird horns HERE!

Nearly all browbirds have at least one set of horns growing from their heads. Browbird horns continue growing throughout the browbird's entire life, and they are incredibly difficult to break. Most browbirds spend time tending to their horns by keeping them polished and shaving them down slightly to prevent them from growing too long.
General Horn Size and Shape
Browbird horns vary widely in size and shape. The maximum size and complexity of a set of horns is often determined by rarity. Smaller, single sets of horns will usually be common, while larger horns or horns that have more branches will be rarer.
Horn Color
They can be any color and can have gradients. Each horn can have a different color, they do not have to match.
✦ Horn Patterns and Markings
Horn markings have no rarity by themselves and you are able to add all kinds of markings to your browbird's horns. However, to add markings such as stars, runes, constellations, crescent moons, or sparkles to your horns you will need the rare body marking to do so. You can see all rare markings in additional traits.
✦ Horn Decoration
Horn decoration has no rarity. You are able to freely add decorations and accessories of any kind to your browbird's horns.
Glowing Accents on Horns
Horns with glowing markings, engravings, or insides (in the case of broken horns) would all be considered mythic and can be added for free if you have the glowing marking trait.
✦ Elemental Horn Types and Effects
To have elemental horns of any kind your browbird must be an ancient and have the corresponding aspect.
✦ Horns growing from the body
To grow horns from the body in places other than the head your browbird would need to be a halv.

Painted Satyr Horn Information

Painted Satyr Horns

You can see all painted satyr horns HERE!

Painted satyr horns can be broken, trimmed, and grown into specific shapes. They can break rather easily, and can grow back! They are plant-like in texture and slightly flexible.
 
Horns can grow  from the very top of the mask or from the head behind the mask.
1 by Browbird4 by Browbird
 
General Horn Size and Shape
Satyr horns vary somewhat in size and shape, and  generally come to rounded or square branch tips. Branched horns are the standard of the species! Horns can be straight, curved, asymmetrical, broken, lightly scratched/damaged, or missing. Broken horns are able to grow flora from the broken areas. 

For horns with sharp tipped branches see Briarthorn.

✦ Counting Branches
Branch count goes off of the highest number on one side. 
satyr_horn_basic.png
✦ Horn Patterns, Color, and Markings
Horns are always striped like patches and can be any color. They do not have to match other patch areas and can be asymmetrical in terms of color. By default the horns do not have additional markings aside from optional small accent dots. Below are some examples of standard horn patterns and coloration.

Kitbull Horn Information

Coming soon!

 

Patches

Hold it! This is a feature exclusive to painted satyr. If you're character is a browbird  or kitbull you can skip this section!

Painted satyr patches are areas of soft, plant-like material that that is covered in a fine texture that makes it quite soft. The stripes and colors revealed in patches indicate the patterns and colors that run over and through their entire body. The stripes resemble the striped trees within the forest the first satyr were born in long ago and at the loss of horn or limb a satyr will show their stripes rings all the way through. Injuries such as this can even result what was lost possibly growing back in a new color and entirely covered in patch even if it was formerly a furred area!
 
Through patches painted satyr are able to take in energy from various sources. Their tree-like horns take in sunlight, moonlight, or starlight. Their hooves take in energy from the earth they touch. Their tail exists as a free root that takes in energies from the natural auras that flow throughout the living universe. Body patches can do often do such things as well along with being used to gather energy in other ways depending on the person! It is in this way that satyr are able to create energy from their surroundings, allowing them their long lifespans and the option of only having to eat food sparingly.
 
It is said that the shape of the patches and where they appear can say a lot about someone. What that means is up to you, however.
 
Patch rarity stacks and only counts as 1 trait total.
You may choose any available feature of the same or lower rarity.
You only have to include the highest rarity on the masterlist entry.
 

Patch Coverage


Patches MUST cover the horns, hooves, and at least half the tail and all branch areas. These patches cannot be removed!

Patch coverage allowance is determined by the trait rarity. Patches can never cover flora, hair or eyes but can cover most other parts as the rarity increases! The % used when determining patch rarity is often rough, please try to avoid the cusp as it may get the design rejected if it's determined to be high coverage!

Aside from the face, ears, and tongue, any spot on the main body can have a patch! If you place patches on the back or a place otherwise not easily visible please be sure to provide a reference when submitting your design.

Patch Coverage

✦ Patch Shape


Patches at a baseline can take on any simple symmetrical shape. At the uncommon tier they can move on to asymmetrical. The only shapes not available by default are stars and moons, which only require the corresponding marking item to apply.

Patch Shape

✦ Patch Patterns, Color, and Markings


Patches can be any color by default with gradients, solid colors, and alternating colors. However, to have splotchy colors and randomly placed colors it will be uncommon. 

Common Patches 1

Common Patches 2

✦ Elemental Patches


To have patches with elemental effects or entirely made of a solid non-standard material (such as glass) it would classify as a feyblood trait. Feyblood traits are not yet openly available and are presently only available on certain auctions!

 

Patch Traits


Patch traits stack! The rarity of the trait is determined by the rarest feature present. If you have rare patches you can have as many rare, uncommon, and common patch traits from this list.

You can see more details patch traits and their rarity below.

482-image.png483-image.png484-image.png

Hybrid Traits

Hybrid Patch Traits


To have patches with the following features you will need specific items. These features are not separate traits and require no extra traits or items.  They are only a bonus possibility when applying the trait listed.
 
These can be applied regardless of base patch rarity. Example: You don't need uncommon asymmetrical patches to apply the moon shaped patch since you are using a rare item.

Rare Alt Patches

Rare Alt Patches 2



 
Scales allow the body and patches to have scales applied. Up to 50% of the entire design can be covered in scales. This can be applied with a Scale Brew or Rare Trait Potion.
 
Star Markings allow the patches to be shaped like stars or to have star markings on them. You can also apply both at once and you will only need a Starcandy Soda or Rare Trait Potion

✦ Runic markings allow runes to be added to to patches. These can only cover up to 50% of the entire design!
