Random Gene Flip
The Ketio's Random Gene Flip can occur with any Ketio hybrids.
Base
If you haven't noticed, all the Ket races have pretty much the same modifiers and basic color gene ("T"). However, you may have noticed that they work slightly different with the different colors. So, to deal with this slight problem, there's an odd/even role to decide which parent's system is used. The cub will inherit genetics a logical manner still. All that the odd/even role decides is which race's system the hybrid cub will actually use for their own base color.
Example Scenario
Ketep Parent's Base Genetics: Tt Shsh Dd Rr Ww bb
Ketio Parent Base Genetics: t+t+ Shsh Dd gg Rr Ww Bb
The roll decided that the Ketio system will be used.
The cubs potential genotypes are:
-Tt+ ShSh DD Gg RR WW Bb
-Tt+ Shsh DD Gg RR WW Bb
-tt+ shsh dd Gg rr Ww Bb
Etc... etc...
Let's just say they inherited "tt+ shsh Dd Gg rr Ww Bb", which means, since they inherited the Ketio system, they will get a shaded Golden Cream base.
Eyes
Eyes are, as all Ket have the same system, so, hybrids just use the same system anyway too![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
Eye color are potentially the most complex system, but all three species share the same system for eyes, solely to make it a little more simple.
Eye colors are on a dominance system, where to show, a color only needs one dominant copy of its gene, while all colors more dominant than it have two recessive copies. If all color genes are recessive, it will result in the “fail” color. Here’s a quick example. Let’s say Red, Blue, and Green are dominant in that order. Yellow is the “fail” color. R is for Red, B for Blue, and G for Green.
All red needs is one dominant copy of its pair of genes to show. So anything with RR or Rr will have red eyes. rr will mean red won’t show.
Blue needs “rr” plus one copy of its pair to be “B”. rr BB or rr Bb will show blue eyes. bb means blue won’t show.
Green needs both “rr” and “bb” along with needing a dominant copy of its own. rr bb GG or rr bb Gg will be green eyed. gg means no green.
Yellow eyes need all three to have two recessive copies, meaning only rr bb gg will result in yellow eyes.
Now onto the actual colors!
The dominance order is as followed: Yellow(Y), Amber/Orange(A), Brown(Br), Green(G), Blue(Bl), Red(R), and Purple(P)*. Silver eyes are the “fail” color.
There are also a few modifiers for eye colors. Like with base colors, they require two recessive copies.
Light will cause a lighter, or sometimes brighter, version of the color. Represented by “L”.
Darken will cause a dark color. “D” represents this modifier.
Mixing, or “bi-color” will cause the two most dominant colors to both show in the eye. Represented by “M”.
Heterochromic will cause the eyes to be two different colors, using the two most dominant colors. Represented by “H”.
Mixing and Heterochromic only work if there are at least two colors with at least one dominant allele. Purple does not count towards this.
That’s 11 sets of genes just to determine eye color
However, it allows for a lot of variety, which is always nice for having unique characters!
This means there are:
-Somewhere around 480+ different combinations for genetics.
-24 basic eye colors(the 8 colors plus there two variants each).
-15 Heterochromic and 15 "Mixing" colors.
--That means a total of 54 eye colors! (Dang...)
*All races, with the exception of Snow Ketio will have two recessive copies, making Purple colors very hard to obtain. Hybrid races can inherit a dominant copy from a Snow Ketio parent. Fun fact: Etahoro’s son, Bjorn, is the only pure Ketep that has such eyes, inherited from his divine ancestry.
Nose/Pads
Like with all others, it's a 50/50 between the parents.
