[Azura Rayume]

Chosen One - Social - This creature has been chosen for a specific task through mystical means such as a prophesy or by the conditions of their birth.
Implemented - Chosen One

Maybe? o3o For characters meant to, say, save a kingdom or become a great hero.


And just to make a point on this, since I saw it when I was skimming through the pages:

Well, we already have Granivore and Nectarivore(which could fit under Herbivore), so that's the reason I posted Frugivore and Folivore. Insectivore, Sanguivore, Piscivore, ect are all types of carnivore too. So that's like saying we should cut those just because the diet can be considered carnivore. And it doesn't have to have a pet to be used, since we're allowed to change the diets of our pets, yes? For example, I'm pretty sure no pet has Ninguivore as a natural diet.

We also have filter feeding, which is a method of feeding, not an actual type of diet.

Since the Gyrophant is giraffe based to some extent, I would say it would be a good example of a pet that could use the folivore diet. That is, if we absolutely need a pet to attach a trait to just to implement the trait. There are some other diets I could suggest, but I'll wait to see what you say since many of them are subdivisions of carnivore and herbivore like the other two I suggested.

Aren't there a few Kuhnas that eat only fruit?

Little tricksters who prefer their food cold and who base their diets on fruits and fruits only...

Keeping to a strict diet of fruits, Keylime Kuhnas are a very small breed.

And if someone had a Batti character that was based off a fruit bat, they might like to use that, too.

Enhanced Speed - Physical - This creature can run faster than any other creature can

[Freezair]

We already have Dash, though, which is basically the same thing.

[Neodraconis]

Yeah but "Dash" is only when the creature tries to escape and is getting pursued. "Enhanced Speed" would be that the creature could run faster than other creatures when he/she feels for it. But I understand what you mean.

[Freezair]

I don't think it really matters. Regardless of what the trait says it's "for," it's still all about the pet being able to move quite fast. And I don't know when that "escape" stuff was added, since, for a long time, it never had that. Just "this pet can run quickly."

[Shieba]

True Fan - Personality - This creature is a great fan of something, be it a club, an activity or a certain kind of thing it collects and spends a lot of time and money on its obsession.
Implemented - True Fan

Flight - Battle/AP - Needs a winged creature and an opponent without wings. The creature rises into the air, avoiding the next attack 100% for one turn. The creature can not attack while being in the air, of course.

[Neodraconis]

Ok, I see your point...

[Shieba]

Hawk's Vision - Physical - This pet has overly good eyes.
(We have this for every sense but vision. Yes, there is a battle trait, but I don't want to waste a precious battle trait slot to say my pet has good eyes.)
Implemented - Keen Vision

Wanderlust - Personality - This pet loves to travel and see new things.
Implemented - Wanderlust

Explorer - Personality - This pet loves to explore old and new places alike for the sake of discovering things.
Implemented - Explorer

HAY GAIZ I have a suggestion. 8D Maybe two. I just want your input on these~

I just realized that perhaps it would be a nice idea to be able to 'ex-' certain Passive Traits (mostly ones in the Social category, but it could probably be applied elsewhere). For example, perhaps your pet was once a renowned chef, but due to a tragic kitchen accident, no longer has the ability or desire to cook. In this case, you could take the Master Chef Trait and simply make it Ex-Master Chef. I have the feeling this would be something akin to Qualifiers (I wonder if anyone really knows about those? XD; It's in the 'How to Select Traits' thread but I don't remember if an update was made concerning them). So, what do you guys think? Do you guys do something else concerning your pets' past activities (such as simply mentioning them in a description)? Do you think this would be a good addition to Passive Traits, or no?

The other idea is a possible revival of the old Alignment system. It could be its own category, with the typical nine alignments. Do you think this would be irrelevant, and that we could just make more Personality/Social Traits for the purpose of saying that our pets are perfect angels/black-hearted demons, or do you think that this might be a good way to get rid of such Traits, thus freeing up another Personality/Social slot (or two)?

[Kylo]

I love the idea and think we should do it! Ex-criminal mastermind works well for a character I'm working on.

[Jaykobell]

I'm all for the 'Ex-' qualifier. This would free up having to almost make up specific Traits just for this sort of situation.

As for the alignments... if you can somehow explain them so they make sense. Even when we had them, I never used them since they had to do with Righteousness/Darkness. If you can make them easy enough to describe your character with, then I don't mind.

[Freezair]

I'm all for the Ex- qualifier. Just make it a simple thing, "You can put this in front of any trait to make it a former thing" or something. Maybe we should have a new section for "Job" traits or something?

As for alignments... I don't mind them, provided that they are optional, they don't automatically come with pets, and they can be changed freely. I never liked the whole "Darkness/Lightness" thing, since I didn't enjoy being told that my pet was Neutral Evil when I knew for a fact they were Chaotic Neutral.

I also had an idea for Battle Traits recently... but it would involve a newer way of doing them, and I don't know if you want to start messing with that AGAIN.

[Shieba]

All for "Ex-" thing. Sounds easy to do and won't clutter the long trait-list more if we can just apply it freely. 8D

As for the alignment system...I admit I'm glad it's gone. It was difficult. I had a few pets that I could easily put into the categories given, but for the rest, I was clueless. Especially since most times, more than one category applied to my pets. I am more than glad with the system we have right now - to just put "Celestial Blood" in there to describe my character is an angel and then freely determining how good or bad she is in my free description without having to fit her into a category she doesn't totally fit in anyway. Alignment is so closely linked with personalities and there are a million possibilities for that, so it's impossible to fit someone into nine categories. I say we're good with that one gone.

[Kodai]

Yay, people seem to like the 'Ex-' qualifier so far. o uo On that note, do you think there's anything else like it that we could do?

Alignments would be completely optional, left up to the player, and able to be switched around. There could even be qualifiers for it, such as Lawful Good (Neutral tendencies) and the like, if that would possibly help more with what you described, Shieba? And of course, you wouldn't be required to take a Trait from the Alignment category. o 3o Again, Traits are more for being used as a basic description of your character that can describe your pet at a glance. If you want to describe your pet in great detail and think that your pet doesn't fit any Traits, you're completely free to forgo the Traits and write up a description. :3 You can even use Traits from some categories but not others, if you think that works best for your pet. o wo
Another possibility is a tenth alignment that pretty much says, "This character is too complicated to be described in such basic terms!" XD~

@Freezy: ...No, not really. XD;; I still have to figure out how the other Battle Traits suggestions could work... though I'm curious as to what your idea is.

[Shieba]

Yeah, Traits are to describe a pet at glance and that's where the alignment system failed, in my opinion. Like I have four dark gods who are out to destroy the world. That alone makes them Chaotic Evil. But one is insane. I think I had her listed as 'Chaotic Neutral' because of that. But that alone made her look less evil than her siblings without her being that. The problem with alignments is that they are not based on light/darkness alone, but obviously on personality as well. That's the flaw, in my opinion. We have other Traits for personalities. Instead of the alignment system, I would prefer, I dunno, a scale from 1-10 where 1 is super-holy and 10 is super-evil, without it saying anything about personalities. I would love a way to indicate alignment, for angels are not always good and demons are not always bad and the traits can give a wrong impression there. But the old alignment system absolutely failed to do that. If it gets revamped so that it leaves personalities out and focuses only on good/evil, I'm all for it.
