Traits

Aurora

Category: Display

Creates one or more smooth aurora shapes on your dragon. If there are multiple auroras, they should be easy to distinguish. They will never resemble clouds, mist, or a nebula.  You may place dots of your chosen aurora colors inside of the marking as long as the marking as a whole is still smooth. The interior will not have white stars or sparkle without other markings affecting it.

Color Rules

You may choose any two natural aurora colors (the bright pinks, blues, reds, and yellows from the thunder palette are a good example) and apply them smoothly along the aurora. They may form a gradient across the stripe and/or color different stripes separately.

Layering Rules

Aurora follows normal layering rules.

Shape & Texture

Aurora typically forms soft stripe-like shapes. Only one side of this 'stripe' can be hard edged, while the other will be smooth.

 

Here is a bad example of Aurora, what not to do:

ABOVE, EXAMPLES OF WHAT NOT TO DO:

  1. There are no blurred areas in this.
  2. The transition between colors is not smooth.
  3. It has white sparkles. While Aurora can have spots that match the marking color, it should be contained inside the mark and never have sparkles.

 

Special Interactions

  • Where Aurora touches leather, fins, horns, and nails, manes, and fur tufts, it may optionally affect the color of the whole trait it touched.
  • Aurora can be affected by Vibrancy. It can add a new color or be the only color.
  • If the dragon also has Rabicano, the Aurora may have streaks and subtle dots that are the same color as Rabicano. If this is used, then Rabicano does not need to show on the dragon. Rabicano can be the same color as Aurora if it is within the color palette, so showing Rabicano at all is optional.
  • Aurora does not need to show in all the 'windows' of Glass, Crackle, or Stairstep.

 

Charged Aurora

Charged Aurora may use up to three natural Aurora colors. Additionally, it may sparkle or glow. aurora6.png

The glow and sparkle of Charged Aurora is treated as a light effect.
