Markings are not optional, your Felvarg must utilize all markings present on its genostring.
Helpful Tips
Each marking has an active and dominant possibility. Dominant means the marking will always pass when bred and can even sometimes change what the marking looks like. Active simply means it must be present. We will show you an example using the marking 'Highlight'.
Active Example: Hl
Dominant Example: HL
Each marking has specific guidelines so be sure to Ctrl-F and search for the marking you are creating.
Markings ranges are a guideline and not a strict ruleset, so long as your general placement is there and not abusive you will find a smooth sail experience during approvals. Avoid extremely minimal marking placement and keep markings relatively solid and true to their natural form.
When we say a marking must be natural to your base coat color, we deem the following natural markings safe across the board: Silver, Cream, Brown, Black, White
Unnatural colors are fine provided your base coat color too is an unnatural shade, and the colors used are considered natural and relevant to your base coat color.
A soft edge simply means it has been smoothed out entirely into the design, Highlight is a good example of this termonology. A hard edge can have various brush edges, it just has to have a definitive marking edge. Marking Edge Example
Selecting good marking colors? Be mindful that when selecting your base coat color this will effect the allowance of colors displayed on your Felvargs markings. While disregarding your base coat color we consider the following colors equally as natural as the colors immediately surrounding your chosen base: brown, silver, black, and cream. They are natural throughout, but players should be mindful not to consume their Felvarg in shades that stray too far from their base itself. Should a player choose to use the 4 natural colors, they should be mindful that no more than 25% of their design is covered by markings not immediately relevant to their base. This means if your Felvarg is Cream (Cr) 75%+ or more of your Felvarg should be in shades of cream equally. See a live example on how you might choose safe marking colors while designing your Felvarg here.

All hereditary modifiers will have a unique effect on the design.
Hereditary Overlay: Gleam
This Hereditary overlay is a unique modifier that covers the entire Felvarg, lightening the base coat as well as the markings.
The overlay that is chosen must be relevant to the base coat color and present as an off white or true white color.
The opacity of the overlay must be more than 25% and no more than 40%.
The overlay cannot have any layer settings applied, only the opacity may be touched.
When submitting your design to the nook, please supply a version without the overlay so that we may judge what is beneath in its true form as well as a version with the overlay present.
Design your genotype as normal. The overlay that lightens your design should come last.
Hereditary Overlay: Shade
This Hereditary overlay is a unique modifier that covers the entire Felvarg, darkening the base coat as well as the markings.
The overlay that is chosen must be relevant to the base coat color and present as an off black or true black color.
The opacity of the overlay must be more than 25% and no more than 40%.
The overlay cannot have any layer settings applied, only the opacity may be touched.
When submitting your design to the nook, please supply a version without the overlay so that we may judge what is beneath in its true form as well as a version with the overlay present.
Design your genotype as normal. The overlay that darkens your design should come last.
