~Breeding Rules & Standard Forms~

[Kitsusagi Staff]

If you do not read these rules, you will be denied breeding slots.

Trades for breedings go to the breeder!

Trades must be received before eggs will be certed. See rules below for pricing 3nodding

Eggs cannot be auctioned off. They can be given away to friends or raffled for free. Free games or contests may also be held to give away eggs.

Please post the breeder's name, names of the owners, names of the parents, and the images of the parents when requesting a breeding! (this should be posted in the breeders' threads, of course x3)

See each breeder's thread for availability.

Please remember to post in the Egg-Claims thread to distribute your eggs once they all have homes!

General/Normal Rules

1. We ask that you not breed siblings or relatives in any way. Kitsusagi are very sensitive genetically and inbreeding will result in mild or severe birth defects (blindness, paralysis, etc.)
2. Kitsusagi must be adults (or officially frozen teens) before they can breed!
3. Kitsusagi cannot breed again until their offspring are fully grown.
4. Do NOT RP the actual act of breeding in the thread or guild... *shudders* If you MUST RP something like that, please don't even do so anywhere on Gaia, as this would break the ToS.
5. Breeding will result in 2-4 eggs. Each owner is only permitted to claim 1 egg for themselves.
6. If the breeder doesn't recognize your name [ie, you are not thread-active], they have the right to refuse your breeding request.
7. Do not complain, whine, flame the breeder, or otherwise cause drama about the result you receive from your breeding. Edits, races, and genders are determined at the time you obtain the breeding slot and are based on dice rolls. Same with the Adult Angelic lines. If you do not receive them, please do not cause drama about it. It is entirely up to chance.
8. --prices are being re-done soon. For now it is pay-what-you-want or whatever the colorist chooses--

What Can Breed With What - A Quick Guide!
"Good" species (Angelics, Seraphs) cannot breed with "Evil" species (Nightmares, Tricks). Even though the kitsu itself might not have a "good" or "evil" personality, the forces that originally created these species were such polar opposites that their blood will never mix to create offspring between them.

Edited Breedings
--prices are being re-done soon. For now it is pay-what-you-want or whatever the colorist chooses--

Anthros
1. Anthros can breed
2. Same sex breeding is allowed
3. Breeding will result in 2-6 eggs
4. When an Anthro breeds with a non-Anthro -- each kit will have a 20% chance to grow to Anthro stage
5. When an Anthro breeds with another Anthro -- each kit will have a 50% chance to grow to Anthro stage

Ex-Mountain Subspecies
1. Until there are official Realm lines that replace the old Mountain subspecies these are the breeding rules for them.
2. Follow the general breeding rules for their equivalents.
3. When a Kitsusagi that was once a Mountain-only species breeds, these are what they will produce as offspring. Species Equivalencies are as follows:
Cherubs => Cupid
Imps => Anti-Cupid
Pixies => Fae
Aquakitsu => Mer
Bobtail & Corgi => Pom
Butterfly => Until official templates are ready, Normals that might get edits
Lop => Fauna
Luck => Tenku



People who fail to acknowledge and follow these rules may be officially warned by a staff member and have privileges or customs / bribes / breedings revoked. They may even be greylisted / blacklisted. PLEASE read and follow the rules and don't let this happen to you!

Male/Male & Female/Female Breedings

1. Must be well RPed and thought out. As for what kind of RPs we accept ... at least one 15-post, prose-style RP must be shown as proof.
2. Male x Male and Female x Female couples are not required to mate for life but remember that there must still be plot for "flings".

Males
- Must find a surrogate mother for the eggs. Owners of the surrogate are to be paid an amount that is agreed upon as fair by the parents' owners, or offered an egg from the breeding. Remember, the surrogate will have to wait the normal recovery period to breed again (ie, until the kits are adults).

The surrogate may be owned by one of the owners of the parents, but does not have to be.

Kits from a male/male breeding may sometimes have a small chance of picking up genes from the surrogate - this could be edits or markings. This is not something that will be rolled, but will be up to the colorist as a random fun option.

Females
- Do not need a surrogate. Also need the normal recovery period.

Celestials

1) Flarei x Flarei breedings can result in Eclipsei offspring. Likewise with Eclipsei x Eclipsei breedings. There is a 25% chance of that happening.
2) Breedings between Celestials produce 2-6 eggs, breedings with any non-celestial produces 2-4 eggs as per normal.
3) Same Sex Breedings are allowed but follow the Same Sex Pairing Rules all couples are subject to.

 

[Kitsusagi Staff]

Angelics & Nightmares

1. Angelics/Seraphs and Nightmares/Tricks cannot crossbreed with each other. No exceptions.
2. Angelics & Nightmares can breed with Normals. Plot/RP is not technically required for this, but is encouraged.
3. ONLY Angelic x Angelic & Nightmare x Nightmare will definitely breed more of either species. Breeding these species with any other species only gives you the possible chance for Angelic or Nightmare offspring. These breedings are typically rare.

 

[Kitsusagi Staff]

Hybrids?!!

1.If a colorist is comfortable with doing so, any breeding between different species has the possibility of hybrid edits!
2. A hybrid edit is an edit added to any lineart that gives the kitsu traits from another species. Example: A Mer Kitsu that has edited Imperial whiskers and more of a tuft on the tail rather than a fin
3. Colorists are NOT required to make hybrid edits, it is something they can choose. It is possible they may not feel comfortable with the idea, or with the level of edits that could be involved, so please respect their decision!
4. In breeding slots, the colorist should note if they are willing to do hybrid edits or not. If you as a customer prefer not to have the possibility of hybrid edits in your breeding, please note this on your breeding form.

But wait!! What do hybrids count as???
-- A hybrid is not a special species or base, it simply means the base species has an edit that makes it look like a mix of species. Whatever lineart the hybrid is on determines its actual species for future breedings etc. A kitsu on Nightmare lineart is a Nightmare, on Fae lineart is a Fae etc etc - regardless of edits.

Dice-roll System for Breedings

Determining Species

Common Species:
Normal, Land Subspecies (Imperial, Uni, Snow, Corgi, Pom)

Uncommon Species:
Celestials (Flarei, Eclipsei), Water subspecies (Mer), Winged Normal

Rare Species: Nightmare, Angelic

Super-Rare Species: Fae, Seraphim

Seasonal Species:
Elkthorn,Trick, Frost,Slyph, and WilloWisp,
-------------------------

In a breeding where the species is the same, they will produce offspring of their own species. So even though they are super-rare... Fae x Fae will always get more Fae, etc

Roll d-100 for each baby in a multi-species breeding...

Uncommon = 30%
Rare = 20%
Super Rare = 10%

Commons wouldn't need a percentage, really since the babies in a common x anything else breeding would default to common if the higher rarity is not rolled

Depending on what category species are in the breeding, you could take the percentage of the rarer species, assign the beginning of the dice to that and default the rest down to the less rare species!

EXAMPLES

Angelic x Normal
1-20 = Pure Angelic
21-50= Angelic Lines without Halo
50-100= Common (CC if upright pose or normal pose)

Angelic x Flarei .... all the babies are going to be either one or the other

1-20 = Angelic, because they are rare, so they get 20%
Anything else rolled on the dice gets a Flarei!

After that, if they are edited, or the colorist is okay with making hybrid babies, they would roll on the edits scale.

If two Kitsu in the SAME rarity category breed (for example Normal x dragon), then each baby would simply have a 50-50 chance to be either species.

Seasonal Species
Spring -- Slyph / March-May / produces Fae outside of season
Summer -- WilloWisp / June-August / produces Normal outside of season
Fall -- Elkthorn / September-November / produces uni/kirin outside of season
Halloween -- Tricks / Nightmares / October only / produces Nightmare outside of season
Winter -- Frost / December-February / produces Tundra outside of season

Seasonals will ONLY pop up in breedings during their time of the year, and would count as Super Rares for rolling purposes.

So if any kitsu breeds during a seasonal chance breeding in October, they have a 10% chance of a Trick baby and 10% chance for a Elkthorn. Normally a seasonal will only appear at adult stage - any other lineart may be used for other stages. (i.e. matching parent species etc)

If a Seasonal species breeds during their season, Wisps during June-Aug ect, they double their chance to 20%

example:
wisp (in season) x tundra
1-20 seasonal -wisp
21-100 Tundra

-------------------------

Lucks and Tenku

Lucks/Tenku breeding with ANY other species should be rolled on this scale:
d-100...

1-50 = common / 50%
51-80 = uncommon / 30%
81-90 = rare / 10%
91-95 = super-rare / 5%
95-100 = seasonal / 5%

IF a Luck x Luck/ Tenku x Tenku breeds:
d-100...

1-20 = common / 20%
21-60 = uncommon / 40%
61-80 = rare / 20%
81-90 = super-rare / 10%
91-100 = seasonal / 10%
-------------------------

Determining Gender

Gender of each baby is determined by a simple 50/50 roll. Each colorist can do this however they want.

EXAMPLE
roll d-100, 1-50 = male, 51-100 = female

OR

roll d-6, odd = male, even = female

-------------------------

Determining Edits

The percentages listed are for each parent in the breeding. Each kit produced would need to be rolled separately for amount of edits.

Unedited -- 40%
Minor -- 30%
Moderate -- 15%
Heavy -- 10%
Extreme -- 5%

For breedings that add up to less than 100, bump the 'leftover' down to whatever the next lowest edit category or categories (for higher percentages) would be. Each colorist may choose to split down the leftover in their own way.

EXAMPLES!

Unedited x Heavy edited: (40% unedit, 10% heavy edit, 50% left over to split down)
1-40 = unedited
41-50 = heavy edit
51-80 = moderate edit (30%)
81-100 = minor edit (20%)

-------------------------

Heavy edit x heavy edit: (10% heavy edit x 2=20% heavy edit, 80% leftover to split down)
1-20 = heavy edit
21-60 = mod edit (40%)
61-95 = minor edit (35%)
96-100 = unedit (5%)

-------------------------

Minor edit x Extreme edit: (30% minor, 5% extreme, 65% leftover - which I'm going to split up a bit below; basically just doing math to make it all equal 100)
1-30 = minor edit
31-35 = extreme edit
36-45 = heavy edit (10%)
46-65 = mod edit (20%)
66-90 = minor edit (25%)
91-100 = unedit (10%)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Throwbacks...
If an owner lists ancestors in their breeding form, AND the colorist wishes to use them, A d100 would need to be rolled and 1-10 would land you traits or edits from any ancestor.

The artist could roll another d100 and if they land again in the range of 1-10, the species of an ancestor could come thru.
