Markings are the patterns wajas have on their fur coat. There are about 60 markings in total,all but one of which are available in any Hex Color. Some markings are only available when making a Custom Waja or through a Markings Pear. Other markings are available only as a Dye to be added at any time. There are currently three markings that are special cases and are available as both Custom Markings and Dye Markings; These are Skeleton, Mackerel Tabby, and Classic Tabby.

Markings Overview

Wajas get their markings through one of four ways:

  1. Wajas will inherit markings from their parents. If their parents share the marking it will be inherited strongly, whereas if they do not share the marking or if they both have the marking at a low strength it will be inherited at a low strength. Its color will depend on the color of the marking in its parents.
  2. Using a Dye on a waja will add the marking of the dye to the waja. You may choose the strength and color of these markings when you place the dye.
  3. Using a Markings Pear on a waja will add a random marking of a random color on a random layer at a random strength to the waja. Extremely unpredictable.
  4. When creating a Custom Waja with a Token the user may choose the marking as well as its color and strength to put on the waja. This is the only way to get Custom Markings on a waja besides inheriting it from their parents.

Marking Strength

Marking strength is represented by a number between 1 and 100. This number refers to the opacity at which the marking is set. A 100 mark will be at 100% opacity and fully opaque, whereas a 10 mark will be at 10% opacity and barely visible at all.

A waja with a marking that is below 100% strength is referred to as a "Fade" if it is attractive and a "Muddy" if it is unattractive. Some users make projects out of taking a waja with faded markings and trying to breed it with other wajas until they eventually end up with an offspring with 100% markings. Other users feed a waja many markings pears, giving the waja all the Custom Markings, or as many as the user pleases. Wajas that have been given all the Custom Markings in this way are called "Pearballs". Wajas that have been given a great deal of Dye markings are dubbed "Dyeballs".

Marking Inheritance

When two wajas are bred together, the markings they share will be passed on to their pup at a strength that is between the strength of the marking in the two parents. Markings that are not shared between the two will be passed on at a low opacity, such as 20 or 30. Marking strength in the pup will never be inherited at a higher opacity than its parents possessed, so there is no way to breed two wajas with a marking at 50 and get a pup whose marking is higher than 50.

The color of the marking will be determined by the color of the marking in the parents and the love pear used. If an Ancient Love Pear was used, the marking will be roughly the median color between the color of the marking in the parents. If a Love Pear was used, the marking could be any color in the spectrum between the two parents' colors. If only one parent had the marking, the pup will have the marking in roughly the same color as the parent.
