Traits

Soulmark is a simple display trait in the shape of an animal. The mark may glow. It resembles a typical tattoo and it may be any one color. The mark moves around freely on the body, but should be visible in the majority of the dragon's art. The mark is roughly the size of the dragon's shoulder or smaller.

Shape Rules

Like all forms of art, tattoos take on many styles. Sailor Jerry, Polynesian tribal, Celtic Tribal, blackout, realistic, and watercolor are just a tiny selection of tattoo styles. As long as the animal can be recognized, it will count.

Color Rules

This mark may be any color, even outside of elemental color rules. The mark may have holes, shading, gradients, etc. as long as the mark color is just lowered opacity and not a different color.

Layering Rules

This marking can change what layer it is on when it moves. It may show above top level marks, peek out from behind them, or hide entirely. The import image and majority of illustrations should show the full mark.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It can travel to any trait on the body.

Charged Soulmark

Charged Soulmark may use any number of colors. It may have an environmental ‘tattoo’ to ‘live’ in. This second mark is a static area that shows an area that animal might live. Examples include tree branches for birds, a city for a house cat, a stable for a horse, and a desert for a lizard. The environment does not move. It does not need to be the same style as the main Soulmark.

Note: this is the same Soulmark as the first example. The mark has moved and slightly changed shape. This is allowed in art!
