Traits

The Datakit has features from underwater creatures, such as fins or gills!

The Datakit has a companion that follows them some or all of the time! Datakit traits do not apply to companions. Companions may be any creature besides mustelids, mephitidae, or humanoids; this includes non-animal companions such as robots, and fictional creatures such as dragons. 

The upper limit on the quantity of companions a single Datakit may have is one for large animals, such as sheep and cows, two for medium-sized or small animals, such as cats and rabbits, and unlimited (within reason) for tiny animals, such as insects and tiny fish.

The Datakit has more limbs than usual! May be applied to legs, ears, mouths, or any other features besides the eyes, tail, wings, or head. These may be organic or inorganic.

The Datakit has displays that are not LEDs, but instead some other type of screen, such as a CRT! May be applied to the facial or body screens.

The Datakit has an effect trail that follows them as they move! This could be anything, such as sparkles, falling snow, pixels, or whatever else you please.

The Datakit is not a ferret, but instead a different species of mustelid! Covers any species that are larger on average than domestic ferrets.

The Datakit can shapeshift into a different species of animal at will! Must retain as many of the features from the main Datakit form as possible, including color, markings, and traits, with allowances made to accommodate the change in species. Does not include mustelids or mephitidae - those instead fall under Multiform, with their respective species trait!

Note that you do not need additional traits for features that are typical of the shapeshifting form’s species. For example, a Datakit that shapeshifts into a bird does not need the Wings trait, and a rabbit does not need Long Ears, unless these features are present on their primary form.

The Datakit can change their appearance at will! Traits may change between forms, as long as the Datakit has them. Allows for color-changing fur. A Datakit may have up to three forms in total.

The Datakit is not a ferret, but instead a skunk or a stink badger!

The Datakit has electricity coming off of their body! This may be present all of the time or only occasionally.

The Datakit has scales on their body! May be located anywhere on the body, in any amount.

The Datakit has features from birds, such as a beak or talons! Does not include wings. Feathers may not be placed behind a Datakit’s ears.

The Datakit is made entirely of energy! Must still have a facial LED. Bypasses traits such as Exposed Energy and Energy Tail.

The Datakit has multiple heads!

The Datakit has transparent parts, allowing you to see through them! This may expose electronic circuitry or mechanisms, but not gore.

Something about this Datakit is.... strange. They're really pushing the limits of Datakit anatomy!

This trait allows for bizarre anatomical features such as extreme proportions, floating limbs, bodies made out of unusual materials, and a wide variety of other mutations! The possibilities may not be endless - but they sure are wide!

Breaks within the Datakit’s body that expose energy! Energy can be any color or pattern, including complex displays.
