Trait Categories

Markings are dictated by the genotype of a character and each one has a set of limited guidelines for color, placement or intensity.
Don’t like the guidelines for how one of the markings including in your new genotype looks? Fear not!

• Markings DO NOT have to be drawn on a submitted character to pass approval. If you don’t like a marking, just EXCLUDE it on the Drawn Import sheet, and note that when submitting a character.
• These markings will be listed as 'Carried' on the character's details and still have the possibly of passing on during breeding.
• However, you can not ADD markings outside a character’s genotype, please do not add drawn markings if your character does not have it listed in their genotype.
