ＶＯＣＡＢＵＬＡＲＹ

Blue | a coat color that is typically a solid grey
Brindle | a pattern of alternating stripes of eumelanin and phaeomelanin pigmentation
Dilution | an effect on a coat color that causes it to become a paler shade like blue or cream
Eumelanin | a melanin pigment that causes some shade of black or brown coloration
Irish Spotting | a pattern of white markings that include white undersides, a white blaze and usually a white collar
Liver | a coat color that is typically brown but is occasionally used to describe a shade of orange
Mask | a pattern in which the muzzle and perhaps as far back as the ears are pigmented by eumelanin
Merle | a pattern which reminds one of marble in which the melanin pigment is swirled and patchy amongst many white areas
Pheomelanin | a melanin pigment that causes some shade of red, orange, gold or yellow coloration
Piebald | random spots of color on a white background
Red | a coat color that is typically the result of phaeomelanin pigmentation, however in some breeds such as Doberman Pinschers brown is called red
Roan | a pattern of intermingled white and colored hairs on some part of the body
Ticked | a pattern of many small pigmented spots on a white or roan background

ＧＥＮＥＳ

organization of the genotype
K series/B series/D series/A series/E series/G series/S series/T series/Merle/Urajiro/Frost

example genotype
Kkbr/BB/dd/Ayas/EmEm/gg/SSi/Tt/MM/Xx/Fr
+ = requires two of this allele
* = see below post for modifications

K Series+ - this locus determines if phaeomelanin can show through the B series


K - dominant black x (makes the dog fully black
k - recessive black (allows pheomelanin)
kbr* - brindle x (covers any red with brindle)

B Series+ - the darkest color on a dog, this determines what color it is


B - black x
b - liver x

D Series+ - this locus works alongside the B locus, having the opportunity to change its color


d - dilute x (becomes blue when black, becomes a light brown when liver) x - x
D - does not carry the dilute gene

A Series+ - determines how eumelanin covers the dog


Ay* - sable
ag- agouti x x
at - tan points x
as - seal x (a dorsal stripe shows and the legs and tail are generally darker than the rest of the coat, it also lightens the dog's color)
a - recessive black x (makes the whole dog black)

E Series+ - extends the eumelanin and appears over the A series


Em - mask x
e - recessive red x
E - normal extension (does not affect the dog in any way)

G Series+ - greys out the eumelanin but can leave patches of regular colored fur. masks may not be affected


G - grey (greys out/dulls out the original coloration)
g - non-grey

S Series - white markings on a dog, co-dominant markings


SS - no white
Ssp - minimum white x
spsp* - maximum white / piebald x
Ssi - minimum irish spotting x
sisi - irish spotting x

T Series - Removes flecks of the S series to show eumelanin or phaeomelanin


Tt - ticking x
TT - heavy ticking
TTr - roan with ticking
Trt - roan x
TrTr - heavy roan x
tt - clear white x

M Series - Adds merling to the eumelanin


nMm* - Merle x
MM* - Double merle x (will be infertile and have disabilities)
mm - Non-merle

Urajiro+ - cream/white "points"


X - normal
x - urajiro x (adds white/cream underbelly, facial markings, and legs on pheomelanin)

(Exclusively Hissan Genes)

Frost+ - Frost dilutes melanin to extremely saturated versions of the coat (varying saturated colors)


Fr - no frost
fr - frost

Shimmer - Unnatural colored patterns appear on the dog's coat, can be any color/size/pattern/etc. Sparkles.


+Shm - Shimmer has a 15% chance of passing

Aurora - Bright colors cover < ~50% of the body, max. 4 colors. No limits to colors. Can cause purple eyes


+Ar - Aurora has a 20% chance of passing

Twilight - makes soft gradients or clouds on the base coat, adds a sparkly sheen to the coat.


+Twi - Twilight has a 20% chance of passing

Hibiscus - The ENTIRETY of the dog becomes red/blue/purple/green.


+Hib - Twilight has a 50% chance of passing

Mutations Without/of Alleles - Realistic

Affected gene - example - mutation name - information

Kbr - x - N/A - removes random sections of brindle
Ay - x -Clear sable - allows very few eumelanin and is difficult to distinguish from recessive red
Ay - x - Tipped sable - allows eumelanin hairs usually on the back, head, ears and tail only
Ay - x - Shaded sable - allows the top of the head, ears and back to have eumelanin. heavier than tipped sable
at - x - Saddle point - tan points recede majorly
at - x - Creeping tan/point - tan point is extended minorly
at - x - Penciling - Black appears on the tan of the feet
Sp - x - Pseudo Irish Spotting - Actually piebald, it appears to be irish spotting
N/A - x - Residual white - Very small patches of white. Usually only on the paws, chest, and muzzle.
M - x - Tweed - turns the diluted parts of the coat into a variety of brown, grey and tan shades
M - x - Cryptic merle - minimal merle, the dog is almost fully black
N/A - x - Somatic mutation - occurs in the body cells after the embryo has begun to form
N/A - x - Vitiligo - the coat cells stop being able to produce eumelanin, causing areas of white
N/A - x - Snowflake - small white spots on the coat of the dog appears
N/A - x - Freckle - small melanin spots on the coat of the dog appears

Mutations Without/of Alleles - Hissan Specialty

Affected gene - example - mutation name - information

EmEm - X - Gazelle Mask - The mask covers the head and a line appears on the shoulder and/or ribs.
asas - X - Siamese Seal - Exaggerated form of seal
kbr* - X - Oceloid - Stripes mutate into spots
kbr* - X - soot - Mask mutation that ADDS dark spots and "dirty/sooty" marks to dog
xx - x - Reverse Urajiro - Urajiro white covers phaomelanin everywhere expect the unders

Common Colors
Available to all hissans.


Special Colors
Must receive permission for these collar colors.

ＥＹＥ ＣＯＬＯＲ ＲＡＲＩＴＩＥＳ

The gradients located on the chart are just to show the general boundaries of the colors. Some gradients are rainbow because they can be any variety of colors (EX, heterochromia can be any two or three eye colors.)

See below for details on eye color rarities.

Common colors include shades of Blue, Brown, and Green.
Uncommon colors include shades of Orange, Amber, Yellow, Heterchromia, and Sectoral Heterochromia.
Rare colors include shades of Pink, Lavender, Red, Unnatural Gradients, and Indigo.
Special colors are the rarest and include shades of white, black, any combo of three colors used in either Heterochromia or Sectoral Heterochromia, and any other unique patterns. (Flecks, Spots, Stripes, Swirls, etc.)

Legendary traits include things such as glowing eyes, unnatural pupils, edited eyes in any fashion other than expression, colored sclera, unnaturally colored pupils, etc.

Eye defects/mutations include but are not limited to; blindness, cataracts, albinism, leucism, eye trauma or missing eyes, or effects caused by double merle.

Regarding customs, the default colors are the common colors. Users can only pick common and uncommon colors at all, rare and special colors can only be made by artists - unless given special permission.

Regarding eye color change tickets, the color may be either uncommon or common, the choice is yours.

Regarding heterochromia, the rarity is based off the highest tiered color present in the heterochromia. (EX: Blue and Orange, the rarity would be Uncommon for the Orange color). However if two common colors are present, then the rarity will be Uncommon due to Heterochromia being an uncommon occurence. (EX: Blue and Brown, rarity is still Uncommon due to the fact it's Heterochromia)
