Chaps
Examples
Basics
Chaps is a dark marking that appears on the haunch. In your ketucari's genotype, chaps is denoted by the letters "nChp" (heterozygous) or "ChpChp" (homozygous). In its heterozygous form, spaulder has a pass rate of 60%. Homozygous spaulder has a 85% pass rate.Color
Chaps must be a darker color of your chosen base, with a minor deviation in hue. It can also be a fully desaturated color of the base, as long as it is darker, or a slightly more saturated color of the base as long as it's darker.
These colors would be acceptable for this base color. They are either a darker version of the base, or a darker and desaturated version of the base. The last color on the right shows a minor deviation in hue, and is slightly more yellow than the base itself. Notice that this small change is not overbearing.
These colors would be unacceptable for chaps. They are either lighter than the base coat or have too drastic a hue shift. They are either lighter than the base coat or have too drastic a hue shift.
Range
Below is area in which Chaps can appear:
Shape
Chaps can be nearly any shape within its range, but cannot have "floating" segments.
Interaction with Other Markings
All markings can be layered under or over chaps however chaps must always remain visible. Chaps can be influenced by vapor, inferno, segment, or morpho Bleaching may be restricted to chaps to cause chaps to be lighter than the base coat. Chaps may alternatively be affected by Pale, allowing it to be lighter than the base coat.Example of chaps restricted bleaching
Accents
Here are some small accents you can add to your designs to make them more unique!
Textured edgesAcceptable textured edges (spaulder examples used)
Unacceptable textured edges - this makes the marking resemble charring
A subtle gradient through the marking like such.
