๐ ย Overviewย ๐
As they seem to come from another reality, Children of Shivelight cannot breed with Snakekeys, Fakakeys, Gribbons... pretty much any other Susie species. These are not, however, totally beyond a Shive's influence. They have a mysterious effect on creatures from other words, dubbed The Skytouch. This alters a species, giving them Shive-like traits and colors
๐ ย Rulesย ๐
โญ Shives must be adults to apply Skytouch
โญ Shives can only Skytouch once every 4 weeks
โญ A Shive cannot Skytouch if on breeding cooldown. Likewise, they cannot breed if on Skytouch cooldown - one or the other!
โญ Skytouch can only be applied to unhatchedย Snakekeys! Or uncreated infants/puppies in PC cases. It's applied on creation and goes in the Type field. Example: Type:ย Skytouched Quillrend
โญ A Shive can only Skytouch oneย keke/PC before being put on cooldown, unless the characters being Skytouched come from a litter/clutch in the breeding thread. In this case, the entire litter/clutch can be Skytouched (you can also pick and choose if desired)
โญ Skytouched characters function as regular for their type. Ie a Skytouched Spiced is still a Spiced - their type fundamentally doesn't change
โญ Skytouched characters can pass on the Touch to their offspring, though it's fairly rare with a 1 in 15 chance
โญ Characters can progress through Skytouch phases at any time in their life. It can be spread out over time or all happen within the hatchling/infant/puppy phase if desired
โญ Characters must be shown at least once in a phase to progress to the next phase (ie you have to draw them in phase 2 before applying phase 3)
โญ Children of Shivelight themselves cannot be Skytouched (that'd be a little silly!)
๐ Phase 1:ย Use a solid black base to color the keke. Black can be tinted a natural mammal color (brown, red, etc...) if desired. Other colors will be normal for the keke type
๐ Phase 2:ย Follow the Shive young color rulesย (adult coat + smoking.) Note that flecking isn't used for Skytouched designs - just ignore the instructions for those! The fingers should separate a little, but remain very nubby
๐ Phase 3:ย The black base (aka smoking) will fully disappear. There's a small, visible indent in the ear. The paws transform fully into hands (note that this does not add a thumb - you'll need an upgrade for that). There's a teeny bit of fuzz on the head - think: velvet
๐ Phase 4:ย The head fuzz grows to full size, which may be any length. The indent in the ears expands to become a hairless, visible inner ear which may be colored the accent color if desired. There's a tiny bit of velvet fuzz on the tail tip
๐ Phase 1:ย Use a solid black base to color the PC. Black can be tinted a natural mammal color (brown, red, etc...) if desired. Other colors will be normal for the PC type
๐ Phase 2:ย Follow the Shive young color rulesย (adult coat + smoking.) Note that flecking isn't used for Skytouched designs - just ignore the instructions for those! The claws fall off, leaving the toes rounded at the tips

๐ Phase 1:ย Use a solid black base to color the PC. Black can be tinted a natural mammal color (brown, red, etc...) if desired. Other colors will be normal for the PC type. The Gribbon's mask may still be a separate color or you can color it black too
๐ Phase 2:ย Follow the Shive young color rulesย (adult coat + smoking.) Design may go on a Grib's mask if desired. Note that flecking isn't used for Skytouched designs - just ignore the instructions for those! The fingers on the front paws should separate a little, but remain very nubby
๐ Phase 3:ย The black base (aka smoking) will fully disappear. There's a small, visible indent in the ear. The paws transform fully into hands (note that this does not add a thumb - you'll need an upgrade for that). There's a teeny bit of fuzz on the head - think: velvet
๐ Phase 4:ย The head fuzz grows to full size, which may be any length. The indent in the ears expands to become a hairless, visible inner ear which may be colored the accent color (either one) if desired. There's a tiny bit of velvet fuzz on the tail tip (the lightbulb part)
๐ Phase 1:ย Use a solid black base to color the PC. Black can be tinted a natural mammal color (brown, red, etc...) if desired. Other colors will be normal for the PC type
๐ Phase 2:ย Follow the Shive young color rulesย (adult coat + smoking.) Note that flecking isn't used for Skytouched designs - just ignore the instructions for those! The fingers should separate a little, but remain very nubby. If done on a guppy which already has said fingers, you probably won't see this part
๐ Phase 3:ย The black base (aka smoking) will fully disappear. There's a small, visible indent in the ear. The paws transform fully into hands (note that this does not add a thumb - you'll need an upgrade for that). There's a teeny bit of fuzz on the head - think: velvet
๐ Phase 4:ย The head fuzz grows to full size, which may be any length. The indent in the ears expands to become a hairless, visible inner ear which may be colored the belly scale color if desired. There's a tiny bit of velvet fuzz on the tail tip (the nub parts)

๐ Phase 2:ย Follow the Shive young color rulesย (adult coat + smoking.) Note that flecking isn't used for Skytouched designs - just ignore the instructions for those!
