ANATOMY
Although created through artificial means, Scarfits are able to breed and reproduce! Scarfits do this by magical and biological means. When scarfits mate, magic wells in their gems and is combined with the genetic material; then it is transferred to the female.
The female will go through something called fluff budding. A puff of fluff starts forming on the female's belly, growing in size. When it's time for the fluff bud to fall, the female will experience a period of cramps.
This is most likely due to the gem formination speeding up and detaching the bud from the mother.
After a while the bud fully detaches revealing the gem of the newly formed Fuzzgem.
genitals
No. Just no. They do have them magically hidden. They'll never be drawn (as in, not even in concept). No one wants that. If you do you are weird.
Accidental Budding and Orphanages
Due to the magical nature of mating (and their creation), it is almost a guarantee without proper precautions that a fluff bud will be created after they "do the do". (for more info go to the sickness and mecial service info page.)
Because of this, some unfortunately don't want children and will give their Fuzzgems away or even sell them. This is why many do not live with/never meet their biological parents.
Almost every settlement has an orphanage. In which they are fed, taught, and bedded. Most orphanages have rooms for both teni and scarfits to stay until they are either adopted or ready to move on in the world.
(All Make-Your-Own teni start off in an orphanage by default, but if you want to give them a backstory and such you are welcome to it!)
Union
Scarfit's are like us in many ways when it comes to love and usually try to find a life long partner (or partners), though it's not unusual for them to breed with others for the sake of having a child.
A Scarfit union is called a KnotStitch, and usually consists of 2-3 scarfits per "Stitched" couples.
KnotStitches are usually held after 2 of the scarfits involved have made a Fuzzgem, after which a ceremony much like a wedding is held.
After vows are said and rings are slid onto their fingers, a piece of plant based fabric the colors of the pair's arms is torn and knotted before being stitched back up with the knot in the middle
This item represents that even though trouble and sickness they would be together through it all.
After the ceremony, the knot is taken home and hung up in the common area of the house.
If they divorce, they rip the knot and if wanted, they give the rings to a blacksmith to recycle the metal.
Sometimes when scarfits breed, genetics can mutate or combine in odd ways causing unexpected results. Sometimes this is beneficial, sometimes superficial, and sometimes... Not good. Here's things that can occur.
Intersex and variations.
Sometimes when a teni is forming, they are born neither male nor female. This can show up in two ways; Fuctioning (able to breed), and non fuctioning).
If you were to roll an intersex kid, you get to decide which they are born with (Mechaniic wise they fucntion the same).
Chances of being intersex are 4/100.
Eye color mutations.
A teni can be born with eyes with both parents eye colors! This can take the form of Heterochromia, Iris rings, or even anni eyes! These eyes are rare to happen during breeding, but not impossible.
Anni eyes are a 2/100 chance of occuring, meanwhile heterochromia and Iris rings are 10/100. If one of the parents has an eye like these, that adds a +3 to the chances of rolling this!
Dwarfism
Dwarfism is a rare genetic occurence, where the teni is born 2/3 the size of the average height. The shirt/collar and gem stays the same size as normal. Chances of being affected is 20/100.
This mutation can be harmful, causing issues such as:
Limited mobility
Digestive problems as a teni
Breathing problems
A harder time when fluff budding. (Low to No mobility in later stages, reoccuring digestive issues, more intense muscle contractions during gem release.)
It is reccomened that if a scarfit with dwarfism wants to have kids that they have someone to help them due to lack of mobility. If they are not looking to have kids but wish to "do the do" they are required to take prevenative meds.
Albanisism
Albino scarfits are a very light color based on one of their parents base color, and can be born with a shirt/collar of a random color. It is unknown why their shirt color is like this, but one hypothesis is that the gene mutation that causes the light skin also affects how the formation of the shirt happens. A teni may grow out of this once grown. Chances of being affected is 20/100.
This mutation can be harmful, causing issues such as:
Weak immune system
Sensitivity to light (Easily sunburned, migrains in bright light, rarely seizures.)
Physical weakness
Inability to gain magic quirks from parents.
Harder time learning magic (+2 Idipentdant magic images)
A harder time when fluff budding. (Amplification of light sensitivity, disgestive issues, longer bud releasal or inhability to release fuzzgem once gem is fully formed.)
It is reccomened that if a scarfit with albanism wants to have kids that they stay in a place of medical care halfway through to mitigate any issues that crop up. If they are not looking to have kids but wish to "do the do" they are required to take prevenative meds.
Gigantism
Gigantism is a rare genetic occurence, where the teni is born taller than average in height height. The shirt/collar stays the same size as normal, while the gem is deformed into an oblong shape. Chances of being affected is 20/100.
This mutation IS harmful, causing issues such as:
Poor balance when bipedal
Possible Dizziness
Poor Vision, higher chance of being born blind.
Possible limited jaw mobility
Possible joint and back pain
Pain in gem when using magic
Poor walking when bipedal
Possible face paralysis (Examples)
Breathing problems, especially when older
A harder time when fluff budding. (Vertigo, reoccurring digestive issues, fainting spells, inability to balance)
It is recommended that if a scarfit with Gigantism wants to have kids that they have someone to help them due to the possibility of injury. If they are not looking to have kids but wish to "do the do" they are required to take preventative meds.
Requirements:
Each member has ONE free breeding slot attached to their account. After that you must purchase Lovers Fuzzballs or wait another year for it to refresh. (either with in game currency, the Kofi Shop or points)
Here’s some things to make sure are in place before you begin!
Parents must be biologically male and female (or a breeding-able intersex) in order to produce anything. There is an exception to this rule though, Rosy Heart NPCs can help.
All breedings must be submitted in the #breedings-channel on discord. When submitting your breeding form, be sure the other artist replies to it, giving their approval! (This will give us the thumbs up)
You can breed 2 of your own, or you can collab with another artist.
Normal Scarfits have a 2 Month breeding cooldown between fuzzgems (due to the health problems Dwarf and Albino Scarfits face, the cooldown for them is 3 Months).
You must own at least one of the couple to be able to roll a baby for the pairing.
Both Scarfit must be at least 4 months old (story-wise teen and up, Check the submission date on their approval image.)
The Scarfits being bred must not be related. This means no shared parents or grandparents. Even one shared grandparent is not allowed.
Collabs
If you collab with another artist, it's up to you both to decide who will own the baby beforehand.
The artist using their slot/claiming ownership of the fuzzgem must be the one filling out the breeding form.
Please make sure the other artist is okay with the pairing! ALL fuzzgems produced will have them be listed as genetic parents. Talk to them and collaborate! Some artists may only allow a pairing if they are roleplayed together, or some development has been made first.
All Couple Images must have a detailed background and shading!
All Couple Images must be unique. The same image cannot be used for multiple breedings.
All Couple Images must show the Scarfits that are going to be bred interacting together. Just putting the two together in the same image will not count: they need to be talking, or doing something together, or interacting in some way, shape, or form.
BREEDING FORM
Bringing your new teni to life!
Now that you have your rolled fuzzgem, there's a couple more things to note:
You must wait 3 weeks after receiving your teni’s info and ID# before your teni can form.
You also must put the following form must be in the description of your bred teni approval image for them to be approved.
Be sure to put this form in the description!
Name:
Biological Sex: Male/Female/Intersex(type)
Health Condition(s)?:
TYPE: bred
ID#:
List of Inherited Upgrades:
Formation Location: Twill Town
Once done, head on over to the discord for approval!
FAQ:
- Can I reroll the teni if I don't like them?
No, once rolled it's final.
- Can I donate the fuzzgem to the group without making the app?
No, but you can trade it.
- If I use my free slot then submit the teni app and it's approved, can I donate them to open the slot back up? What if it's a paid slot?
No, once a free slot is used it's disabled for a year. Paid slots can be reused one more time after donating the teni attached, unless multiple were bred the first time.
- What if I don't like the roll? Do I have to get it approved?
Of course not! They can sit in limbo forever if you wish.
- What if my Scarfits are the same sex and not intersex? How do I get them a fuzzgem?
Wait till Rosy Hearts, two certain scarfits can help out.
- I bred with a friend and they left the group, is there any way I can get the baby?
If they note the group to give you the unformed fuzzgem beforehand, then yes you can.
If the application was already submitted or they left suddenly then I'm sorry, the teni is lost to the void.
-Do I have to use all the upgrades rolled?
Nope! You can even have a completely naked baby if you want!
-Can I portray my Scarfit budding with a fuzzgem that's not related to them mechanic wise?
As long as you put at the top of the description/story that the fuzzgem isn't related mechanic-wise, then yes.
-If the Scarfits involved act friendly/mean towards each other, can this be used for breeding images?
If you want the breeding to be non-cannon story wise, yes. Though for sake of logging they will be listed as the genetic parents.
- Can I choose not to list grandparents in a breeding roll, even if a parent technically has them?
No, please make sure to list the grandparents for both breeding partners! (Make sure that you let your breeding partner know this if you are studding them)
- Can I list GREAT-grandparents in a breeding roll?
For the sake of our moderator's sanity, please only list direct parents of either/both breeding partners.
