What means what: Soul colors for 'mortal' pockettu toys mean something to Luk, and he collects, sorts, and considers each type of soul before he makes it into a Pockettu. An example would be
Aalis. This is an image of how Luk sees...everything. If it has a soul, he sees that more then the thing it is in.
Aalis's soul is mostly gold and turquoise, with one dark crack through it. The dark crack is from the bad memory she has of Mitsumaru abandoning her, but even with that bad memory, she remains a very loyal pockettu. The turquoise represents her feminine nature. She likes pretty things....a lot.
So when making a Luk follower, really consider the soul the owner might make based on the pet you are making.
Common Color Correspondence:
*Red- Red souls are suffering souls, such as the souls of Zombies. These souls have chosen to trap themselves in the rotting flesh of life, rather then being released into the sleep of Death. Due to this, they are as an open and infected wound, raw and in constant pain.
*Gold- Souls with gold in them tend to be very loyal souls that, once they make an allegiance, will honor it for their entire existence.
*Black- Black souls, or souls with black hue, are those closest to the Cursed. (God souls are different and follow none of these rules, hence Luk's fascination with Antarmur'ss and his black soul.) Black souls are souls about to break and vanish into the void, and tend to be the darkest and evilest of souls. This makes them unpredictable. Luk tends to place these souls in a forced sleep deep in a cavern in his realm, in hopes that the slumber will help to repair the damage the soul has suffered, and remove some of the taint that is destroying it.

Cracks: Cracks are bad experiences or memories that hurt the pockettu enough to damage their soul slightly. Too many bad memories make a soul fragile and can lead to them turning black.
Pockettu Ideas:
Rainbones: A virtural rainbow of skeletal inspired voodoo pockettu, whose's souls are visible through their rib cages or some other form of seeing into one's chest.
Jackalites: Luk uses jackals as his deathly messengers, and his Reapers are jackal reminiscent. These Jackalites would be pockettu obsessed with the Reapers and mimic the jackal look somewhere on their apparel or looks in some way.
Keepers and Robbers: Twins, one a diligent grave keeper, the other, a delinquent grave robber. Their bands of robbery, keepery friends. One epic cemetery turf war.
Grim Tidings: This pack of black dog/wolf siblings is determined to prove to Death they're better mascots then Jackals anyday!
Such Rotten Luck: A young bride pockettu just married, an elderly pockettu who just won the lottery. What do these two nearly opposite pockettu share in common? They died the day after fortune seemed to smile so brightly upon them. But when Death came to collect, These two souls refused to leave their deceased bodies!
Omens the Word: Looks like we have a large gathering of birds here! They appear to be vultures....or ravens. Perhaps crows? Wait- Are we being Murdered?!
