Art by Kummone

An emotion based creature, Lovedarts are born from events causing extreme emotions, be it happy, sad, angry, and every emotion inbetween.
They can be born from something as simple as getting excited after not seeing someone for a long time, to the extreme anguish of losing a loved one, and anything else you can think of.

Lovedarts can be very social creatures, living side-by-side with humans or other species/creatures. Though more common in positive lovedarts, negative lovedarts have been seeing tolerating living with others, though they are typically distant and prefer to live in isolation, or with other negative lovedarts.

There are four types of lovedarts, positive, negative, feral, and neutral.

Positive Lovedarts

Positive Lovedarts are typically born from and thrive off of positive emotions, such as happiness, joy, excitement, surprise, etc.
-They typically have happy, bubbly, friendly personalities (But this does not mean they cant have other personalities.)
-Usually, positives are lighter/brighter in color. (A pure white lovedart is extremely rare)
-They love to socialize, and love to be in large groups and the center of attention.
-They make excellent pets or house-mates, and are perfectly content with being house-maids or other jobs similar. It's not uncommon, however, to see them higher in society situations, such as running a company or being head of household.
-Positives normally have upward facing ears, upward curled tails, bright colored gems and fur colors.

Negative Lovedarts

-Negative lovedarts are born and thrive from negative emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness, etc. Negatives can be dangerous at times, as they can often be unpredictable, bitter, and sly. (This however, doesn't mean that they can't be friendly.)
-They typically have standoffish, unfriendly, nasty personalities.
-Usually dark in appearance, with duller colors. (Fully black lovedarts are extremely rare.)
-They prefer isolation, hiding away in non-populated areas such as abandoned areas of cities, woods, subways, etc. They can be very stand-offish and may get violent if approached. (It's not very common to even find them in large cities, but they may try to assimilate into the community of a small town or area)
-People claim seeing a negative lovedart is a bad omen.. People will often treat it like they've seen a ghost, and get a priest to bless the area the lovedart was seen in.
-Negatives normally have downward facing ears, downward curled tails, dull colored gems and fur colors.

Feral Lovedarts

Ferals are a tricky type of lovedart, as they are usually born from the collective emotions of large groups. This can include funerals, protests, natural distasters, events caught on video/seen on the news (assassinations, murders, random acts of kindness, etc.)
-Ferals can be both negative and positive, depending on the situation they were born from. Negative Ferals are more common, as more often people group together emotionally for negative events, rather than happy ones.
-They can usually have any type of personality, but they usually appear more "wild", in that they are always more cautious and jumpy. Their personality/emotions are always more "Extreme", very often over-reacting or being very hyper.
-They share traits with negatives/positives, but they have unique traits including large claws, excessive fluff, and being much taller than the typical lovedart. They can usually be described as being much more monster-like than their normal negative/positive siblings.
-People are typically put off by the sharp, scary appearance of lovedarts, despite being positive or negative, so they are often forced to be isolated, even if they dont want to be. Some ferals, mainly positives, can very easily live with humans, they may just be discriminated for their appearance.
-Traits are the same as their negative/positive counterparts, but large claws (And lack of claws) Are considered rare, and non-fluffy or less fluffy are considered rare. They typically have only two horns, more or less is rare.

Neutral Lovedarts

Neutral Lovedarts are one of the most rare type of lovedarts that can be born. They are so rare, only a few have ever been seen.
-Both light and dark, their colors are split down the middle. They are large beings, with beautiful wings. Some claim them to be angels, as seeing one is just as rare.
-They are rumored to be born from complicaitons in pregnancy, such as miscarriages, the mother dying during childbirth, or the birth of a stillborn child. Mothers have claimed to see these lovedarts, feeling ease and comfort, as if the creature has come to empathise them.
-Neutrals are very motherly, and there have been rumors of children born from dead mothers are often taken away by these creatures, to be raised by them as if they were their own.
-Since such little is known about these, nothing is known about their personalites.
-Traits for lovedarts can only be described as a negative and a positive mashed together, as if the being could not decide what type they should be. Their traits can be positive, negative, or both (Meaning, having two sets of ears/tails, one being upward facing, and one down.). They can also have multiple limbs, horns, wings, and claws.
-There's really no such thing as a rare trait when it comes to Neutrals, because their existance is already a super rare occurance.

Additional Trait Info

-Wings are a rare trait for positives/negatives.
-There is no gender dimorphism between lovedarts. 
-They can, however, have a huge range of body types, including chubby, curvy, muscular, etc. 
-They have genetalia, but there is no gender specific genetalia. "male" lovedarts can have the "female" bits, and "female" lovedarts can have the "male" bits. They can also have a mix of the two. It's personaly preference to the lovedart what gender they identify as, regardless of genitals.
(Note: If you'd like to see a reference for lovedart genetalia, please message me privately and I will provide you with the image.)

-Lovedarts do not need to eat to survive, but are fully capable of doing so. Some enjoy eating, and other don't.

-Lovedart eyes always match the color of their gems. This includes if their eyes are heterochromic, the gem will be multicolored to match..
-It is very rare if their eyes dont match the gem color. 

-Lovedarts can be smaller or nearly the same size as a human, but are almost never taller than the average. They're fairly small! Unless they're feral or neutral, they never exceed more than 5'7''
-Feral lovedarts are usually much larger than the average human. Usually anywhere from 6'5'' to 7', though they can certainly be shorter than this!
-Neutral lovedarts are generally very large, the average height being 8'. They can however, be anywhere from 6'8''-9' tall.

Gems can be found anywhere on their body. They can be any size, but they're usually about the size of the palm of your hand.
Gems can also replace parts of the body, such as eyes.
