Rare | Storm
Creates splotches on your dragon that look similar to blankets of blood. Inspired by the bloodmark gene in horses. It is a Pigment Trait, so it lies on top of most markings. The marking should have a clear, solid edge. You can cover up to 75% of your dragon with the vampire mark. It should be the color of a chestnut horse (brown, red, or maroon). If you are having trouble picking a color, you may use the sliders below:
Shape Rules
This shows two shaping options, as well as the minimum and maximum coverage:
The shape itself will be solid and random; any spots will be closely associated with the mark, and any holes will be close to the edge. You can either do a large, mostly solid pattern, or you may do something that looks like blood splatter or dripping liquid. Note that it must be opaque, and it will not have varying textures or opacities within the mark.
Texture
It should have a solid edge. This is true even with ‘splattery’ shapes. Here are some examples of good splattered vampire shapes:
Below are examples of what NOT to do. The first has a clearly shaped tail marking, instead of being random. The second has a too many varying opacities and a textured edge. The marking must be solid, not textured, and it must all be the same opacity.
Color Rules
Vampire will always be red, brown, tan, or maroon. It may display a subtle gradient between similar colors across the marking. Here is an example of the gradient:
Layering Rules
It is a Pigment Trait, so it lies on top of most markings.
Notable Interactions
- Legacy Display - While Display can change the color of vampire, it will change it within color rules. This means you can change it from a tan-brown to a maroon-red, but not tan-brown to lime green.
- Vibrancy - Vibrancy does not affect Vampire.
- Dazzle - Dazzle does not affect Vampire.
Charged Vampire
Charged Vampire may ignore layering rules. It can sit at the bottom of your marking layers, in the middle, or on top of any marking. Charged Vampire may display varying opacities and textures, similar to ink splatter.
