Traits

What falls under this trait:

• This trait informs which subspecies this plumii is a hybrid of;
• The trait is required if the character is a subspecies “hybrid”.

Design Notes:

• Hybrids may ignore some trait limitations. For example, hybrids can have normal ears along with the Aquatic ears trait.
• At least one of the subspecies-specific traits must be present in a hybrid character.

Redesign Notes:

• This trait cannot be removed.

An obligatory trait of the rikki subspecies. The tail must have scales. The tail can be one of 5 types:

• Snake: a normal tail with no special traits, tapering towards the end.
• Protected: any tail available to rikki, but having a carapace at its base. The shape of the shell can be almost any shape, made up of any number of parts, overlapping the tail partially or completely. The shell is placed on top of the tail.
• Curled: Tightly curled tail like a chameleon. Can be curled starting at its base, at the end, or in the middle.
• Dinosaur: has thin plates on its surface, like a dinosaur's.
• Attacking: Any tail available to rikki, but with a sharp spur at the end of the tail. The spur is no longer than half the length of the tail, and may contain poison.
• Cropped (optional): Any rikki tail, but cropped in any part of it. No big deal, it will grow back later!
• Tip (optional): Any tail can have an accessory tip at the end of the tail.

The upper ears of the rikki subspecies are ALWAYS bare, and have distinctive shapes. A distinctive trait of rikki ears is the pointed shape of the inside or outside part of the ears. Rikki can also have smooth, tall, bare ears like the first example. Other shapes are also acceptable as long as the inside or outside of the ears are sharply shaped.

Rikki may have a shell consisting of the parts provided above or similar parts. The shell is traditionally not covered by clothing.

Ametheta subspecies may have hooves instead of feet. The hooves have the same textures as the horns. However, the textures of horns and hooves do not have to match.

Ametheta subspecies may have large, long claws. The claws have the same textures available as the horns. However, the textures of horns and claws do not have to match.

Amezeta subspecies may have pads on their fingers and palms.

Amezeta subspecies may have a nose with a shape and appearance approximating that of an animal.

Normal plumii ears look like cat ears, but covered with fur both inside and out. The ears that the subspecies amezeta may have are more animal-like.

• Ears arranged horizontally are labeled as “animal ears” if they are subspecies ametheta.
• Ears that are not triangular in shape are labeled as “animal ears” if it is a subspecies of Ametheta.
• Ears that are larger than the head of a plumii are labeled as “animal ears” if it is a subspecies of Ametheta.

Ametheta is available any horns that are found on animals. For example deer horns or ram horns. Also large and wide horns, or horns with offshoots belong to this trait. 

Amezetas may have a wool collar that covers the neck. Amezetas may also have hair all over their bodies, including hair that is thick enough to be considered fur.

Additional variations of horns resembling bug chews are available to Iwao subspecies.

The anthro form of Iwao can have any shape of chitin on its body: on its chest and back.

What falls under this trait:

• Slime hairs that contain water inside. 
• This trait applies when slime hair is present, as well as when a slime tail is present.

Design Notes:

• This trait is a mandatory and defining subspecies;
• The type of hair and the type of tail can be different;
• Slime can have six types and can also be a combination of the available types:
  • Sausage: the hair is represented by several individual thick tubes containing water;
  • Solid: the hair is represented by one massive piece of any shape;
  • Sticky: the hair is represented by one large piece with obvious outgrowths with rounded ends, within which is a liquid core;
  • Octopus: yuppie hair is represented by the tentacles of an octopus;
  • Jellyfish: the hair is represented by a single piece containing water, but with a thick shell. It has a wavy shape;
  • Fishy: the hair is represented by the shape of a fish tail.
• Yappies can have a fishy / aquatic tail in the event that it is composed of slime. Imitation of other tails is acceptable as long as the tail is clearly composed of slime: is transparent / translucent / contains water inside it;
• The length of the tail does not exceed the character's height.

Redesign Notes:

• The hair type can be freely changed to one of the six hair types or a combination;
• The hair can be freely removed, unlike the tail. If no slime tail is present - the “missing parts” trait is required.

What falls under this trait:

• Snail whiskers on a yappie's head.

Design Notes:

• The whiskers can be one of five types and can also be cut off;
• A small core is sure to be present at the end of the whiskers.

Redesign Notes:

• The whiskers can be freely “cut off” and returned back;
• The type of whiskers can be freely changed.

Plumii has feathers on its body.
