I love them they're so cute!
Edit: 2023 new me, I decided to take a look into this species again and I'm giving people free reign with the concept while I work on adding more lore and worldbuilding for them for fun!
[March 4th, 2023] More info about subspecies added in the Species & Lore info doc, all new content marked with "☆"
Ayy first post WHEEZE I've been working on a closed species for about 3 8 years now but I decided to scrap what I had to make it meatier with lore and some world building but I decided for now I'm just putting a very simple base idea and story out there and see where it goes from there but regardless I'm definitely doing something high fantasy like with more species and lore in time!
The reason for this being semi-open is that I'm not super fond of the idea of having a closed species and a rare traits system inherently setting a high value price tag on adopts personally! But I don't think I could make what I plan to be a lore heavy species that's still a WIP totally open yet! so I want to have some form of regulation?? if that makes sense???
changed my mind! Decided if I make more lore then great, so may as well keep it open and see what other things people can do with a base idea!
"Milagris (Me-la-grease) are a humanoid like people who's known origins link them closely with humans, some folk tales even going as far to say they were once people and their changed form and abilities was a gift, or to some a terrible curse. It really depends who you're asking!
They're known for being magically gifted in one form or another. While that is true for many, not all Mila have honed in on this and go on to work and train in different chosen professions, There are various well known families of Milagris who have gained recognition for their skills in both magical and scholastic fields of work.
Generally they are a colorful and peaceful people who keep to themselves"
I have two docs for them right now that I plan on editing as I progress with this species!
and the MYO doc if anyone is interested in making their own!

Keeping the muzzle size un-traited seems like a rally good touch to me, to acount for people's different prefrences stylistically! Love the vibe!
Evolutionary biology my beloved <33
Honestly you might wanna try out "niche a genetics survival game" if you haven't already given it a go, it's a very charming lil game that could even leave you with some inspiration for future traits! bogoro
best of luck with your species! I'm sure many people will come to cherish it! >:3
