⚡ Corrupted Crest (Halv)
This trait is a WIP! While it is available for use, please be aware that designs submitted are more likely to be rejected if they use this trait due to lack of up to date reference material.
The crest takes on a glitchy and flickering appearance distinct from all other crest effects.
➕ Crest Particle Effect (Common)
Crest Particle Effects
Crest particles are a small, optional trait and can be added to the crest.
These particles are made entirely of magic and would not be something you could "move" or "pick up". The effects will usually sit on or float around with the crest and follow its flow. If one were to fall too far away from the crest, it would fade away.✅ Existing Designs: Particle effects can be added to any browbird's crest at the design change salon through the use of an Appearence Change ticket if they meet the criteria.✅ MYO Designing: When designing a new character, you are able to use these effects for free if your design meets the criteria.✅ Limitations:
☑️ Crest particles can be added so long as your character meets the corresponding aspect criteria. For example, browbirds with the Wood aspect may add the leaf and petal effects, but cannot have the rune effects if they do not have the Arcane aspect.
☑️ Certain particles can be added for free regardless of aspects!
☑️ Colors do not need to match the examples.
☑️ You are not limited to how many different particle effect types you can use, such as both butterflies AND eyes. However, the clusters are not additive, and cannot crowd a crest with every type of particle. They remain just as spaced out and sparse as they would with a single type.
☑️ Crest particles must remain small and simplistic in shape, and should flow with or around the crest.
❌ Should not interact or intersect with other traits.
❌ Should not be used to resemble traits a character doesn't have (ex: using runes to resemble mythic crests, or being so spaced out they look like the wisp trait). They should not resemble a second crest.
❌ Placement should be at least somewhat random-looking and not form obvious lines or clear shapes, such as circles.
❌ The number of particles cannot be very low, such as one or two of a particle. It must be a good few.
❌ Particles must follow the color crest guidlines (i.e. you cannot have mythic colored particles, such as black, unless your crest is mythic, etc)
➕ Rare Crest Effect (Rare)
‼️ Please read over the main crest info first! Applying any of these effects will make your crest RARE.
★ Huge Crest
Trait: Allows the crest to be over 1x head height to a max of 1.5x head height
✅ Sizing is always proportional to your character and how they are drawn/stylized.
❌ CANNOT GO PAST 1.5x head height this includes ALL effects, multiple crests, and particles.
★ The larger the crest, the more magical energy a browbird has to draw from allowing them to perform bigger feats of magic, but it takes them far longer to recover if they're utterly drained. There are also bigger risks that come with overdrawing.
★ DARK AND PRISMATIC
Trait: Rare crest color possibilities! Unlimited hues and a wider range for dark colors.
✅ Prismatic lets you have any amount of different colors on the crest applied to any part of the crest, effects, and particles
✅ Prismatic effect ALSO allows the crest to optionally change to any color (within crest rarity) whether it be at will or for a specific IC reason. This can optionally be included on the masterlist but does not have to be.
✅ Dark crests allow any amount of DARK saturated colors placed anywhere on the crest, effects, and particles
✅ You can mix where the colors are placed and how much coverage there is!❌ DARK CRESTS cannot be duller than common crests, ONLY darker. The examples show the darkest possible colors!
❌ KEEP IN MIND some gradients may make muddy colors that turn gray, try to stay within range even on gradients!
★ Dark crests give off less light, hinting at some kind of run in with the Abyss.
★ Prismatic crests on the other hand are flashy. A multicolored soul often means you will find more success when branching out into new aspects.
★ Shattered
Trait: Breaks the crest apart
✅ Can be broken into any amount of fragments but fragments must be floating VERY CLOSE TOGETHER and maintain the shape of the original crest
✅ Can have cracks, be broken fragments, or both
✅ 1-5 tiny shards can float slightly further from the crest (check the star example below)
✅ Breaks can be jagged or clean
✅ Can be applied to effects❌ Cannot be made to look like multiple crest shapes at all, it must be pieces of a singular crest only
★ It is a scar left behind by trauma. What could alter someone's view of the world so drastically that it breaks apart their soul?
★ Starlit
Trait: Fills the crest with tons of sparkles, stars, and constellations. The stars contained within move separately from the crest, like you are gazing through a hole into another world.
✅ Can be applied to the shape or any effects
❌ Must be contained within the crest
★ Those with close ties to the astral oceans have souls filled with stars. No matter where they are, the crest reflects the sky in a place that was important to them.
★ Scribble
Trait: Changes the crest to have a rough, scratchy, or scribbly drawing look.
✅ Can be applied to any shape and effects
✅ Can affect the whole crest or just the outlines/patterns❌ Must still retain the crest shape and be clear which crest shape it is regardless of roughness
★ A sign of instability, whether it be in your body, magic, or mind. The soul is struggling to hold itself together, one day it may unravel.
★ Brilliance
Trait: Adds glowing streaks of light around the edges of the crest
✅ Can fully or partially surround the crest or an effect
✅ Can overlap with the crest
✅ Sizes of the individual brilliance lights can be uneven sizes but should still at least vaguely form a circle or half circle❌ Cannot extend past the crest sizing limit, if your crest is already max size for its rarity you will have to size it down to fit the brilliance
❌ Can only be applied ONCE per crest shape
❌ Cannot be used to make the crest resemble a clock
★ Someone who has been so loved that the shine of their soul reflects it.
★ Outline
Trait: Turns a crest into just an outline of its shape.
✅ Can be applied to any crest shape, effect, or both
❌ All parts of the outline must be entirely connected, there cannot be stray floating shapes (unless shattered)
❌ Must be SIMPLE and follow the shape of the crest only, new crest shapes cannot be added within the outline. It should not resemble crests of a higher rarity!
★ Something important is missing, or was it taken? Those with only an outline crest have experienced a loss so devestating that it took part of their soul with it.
