Divergence | Cat ARPG

_____________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the land of Divergence
- a genetics based cat ARPG!
Here, there is a focus on relationship
building and family building; though
this isn't how you have to play the game.

*Raffle cats!*
Raffle cats are ones with rarer genes, such as bobtail or curled ears, that will be given to players through RNG. You can enter for as many as you want, but may only win one per round.

♦ Divergence cats may not be sold - only traded for other Divergence cats or gifted to other users.

♦ There is no limit for how many Divergence cats one user may own.

♦ Divergence cats related to each other may not be bred together.

♦ Users are eligible for one free founder; once it is claimed, even if it is traded/gifted, you may not receive another free founder. See here.

♦ You must create an archive to receive a founder. [can be on CS, toyhouse, etc.]

♦ Additional cats may be found through patrolling, customs, or breeding.

Kazin | Owner

[Kazin]

The genetics used may not be 100% accurate to actual genetics, I just do this for fun and to make some fun cats! If you notice any inconsistencies, I apologize - reach out to me [Kazin] and I can fix things as they arise c:

These genetics are a description of what will be the basis for creating the cats. You don't need to worry too much about this unless you want to become an artist or want to know what kind of coats your cats will produce! Generally, I use the guides from Sparrow's Garden.


--------------------------------------------------------



*genes may be added to this pool*

L locus
This will determine hair length! LL = shorthair, ll = longhair.

B locus
This determines the eumelanin! BB = black, bb = chocolate, blbl = cinnamon.

X locus
This determines the pheomelanin! This is also a sex-linked gene. Two X chromosomes = genetically female. XY chromosomes = genetically male.
Xo = non red, XO = red, XOXo = tortoiseshell

D locus
This determines the dilution of a cat's coat! DD = non dilute, dd = dilute.

Dm locus
This is a modifier of dilute! DmDm = modified dilute [caramel etc.], dmdm = non modified.

A locus
This determines the tabby markings of a cat's coat! AA = tabby, aa = solid.

Mc locus
This determines the type of tabby markings! McMc = mackerel, mcmc = classic.

Sp locus
Another determination of tabby markings! SpSp = spotted, Spsp = broken mackerel, spsp = non spotted

Ta locus
Another determination of tabby markings! Ta = ticked, ta = non ticked. [may not be present in all cat's genotypes]

Bm locus
This determines if a cat will have bengal markings! BmBm = bengal markings, bmbm = non bengal.

I locus
This determines the inhibitor of a cat's coat! II = silver/smoke, ii = non silver/smoke.

Wb locus
This determines the level of wideband a cat has; in Divergence, this can only be combined with silver/smoke [II/Ii]. Wideband on its own can still be in a cats genotype, but will not cause physical appearance changes. WbWb = high wideband (chinchilla), Wbwb = low wideband (shaded), wbwb = no wideband (smoke/silver tabby).

C locus
This determines the color restriction of the cat's coat! CC = no restriction, cscs = colorpoint, cscb = mink point, cbcb = sepia point, cc = albino.

W locus
This determines the level of white spotting on a cat's coat! WsWs = high white, Wsw = low/mid white, ww = no white, WdWd/Wdw/WdWs = dominant white.

LaPerm; Lp locus
This determines a change in the cat's hair type. LaPerm is a dominant trait. LpLp/Lplp = curly fur, lplp = normal fur.

Manx; M locus
This determines if a cat is tailless or not (genetically - cats can still have a tail removed for other reasons/scars and this would be noted in their description/genotype). Mm = manx/tailless. mm = full tail. **THIS GENE CANNOT BE BRED WITH ANOTHER MANX CAT**

Bobtail; Jb locus
This determines the tail length of a cat (genetically - cats can still have a tail shortened for other reasons/scars and this would be noted in their description/genotype). JbJb = full tail, Jbjb = shortened/kinked tail, jbjb = bobtail.

*NEW* Munchkin; Mk locus
This determines if a cat is short-legged or not. Munchkin is a dominant trait. Mkmk = munchkin. mkmk = not munchkin. **THIS GENE CANNOT BE BRED WITH ANOTHER MANX CAT**

*NEW* Curled Ears; Ac locus
This determines if a cat has curled ears. Curled ears is a dominant trait. AcAc / Acac = curled ears. acac = no curl.


--------------------------------------------------------


Some genes that modify the body the pelt are not available right now, but may be added in the future.
[such as curled ears, folded ears, hairless, etc.]

Interested in expanding your cat's lineage? Check out this thread to breed your cats!

♦ Cats may only be bred once per calendar month [resets on the first of each month].

♦ Users can fill out one breeding form per month.

♦ Cats may not be related to each other.

♦ Only genetics will be used to breed your cats - please ensure that you have the correct genotype when filling out a breeding form.

Founders will open and close at various times to give artists a chance to be ready.

♦ You must create a storage archive to receive a founder. [can be on CS, toyhouse, etc.]

♦ Users are eligible for one free founder; once it is claimed, even if it is traded/gifted, you may not receive another free founder.

♦ You may not change the starting genotype of your founder unless you have an item to do so. [unavailable at this time]


♦ Each user can only claim one founder.

♦ Founders will be randomized - they cannot be changed or requested as a custom.

Hunting

♦ Hunting gives you the chance to earn items!

♦ Items may be used in various ways at our shop page. Check out this tab to learn more about the various items available! [under construction]

♦ Check out [url=♦]this thread[/url] to send your cat(s) out hunting!

______________________________________________________________________

Patrolling

♦ Patrolling gives you the chance to earn new cats!

♦ RNG will be used to determine the chance at a new cat [or two!]

♦ Patrols can be sent out once per week! [Resets at CS Rollover every Sunday]

♦ If you decide to write your patrol, you will get up to a +25% bonus on your rolls! The more you write, the higher the chance at a new cat. 5 words minimum will earn a 10% chance to get a cat, with 1,000+ words capping at an bonus 25% chance to earn a cat! [100 words = 5%, 250 = 10%, 500 = 15%, 750 = 20%] *subject to change*

♦ Check out this thread to send your cat(s) on patrol.

Is there a place to see all the cats made?
♦ The archive will be updated periodically!

Do I have to know genetics to join?
♦ Not at all! You can ignore it for the most part and just put the genotype in the necessary forms as needed - no sweat!

Can my storage archive be [insert location here]?
♦ As long as the link is CS safe, your storage can be anywhere you'd like!

Why do I have to make a storage?
♦ I ask that everyone has a storage because it helps me see who's active and interested in the adopts! You don't have to meticulously keep it up to date if you don't want to.
