Degisim Sprites
So, what is a Degisim Sprite? (Deh-Geeme Sprites) It's a small creature, about as tall as a 2 year old human. They're most known for taking the image of someone, becoming them, but with one key feature: They're warped into some sort of whimsical trickster, as Degisim Sprites are always one thing: Some sort of trickster. No two Degisim Sprite looks alike, though they all have classifications. Each Degisim Sprite has a unique item, spike, or feature on their head, whether the color, shape, or design is how it's unique, in addition to horns that are also almost always unique, but it's more like how most Human's eyes aren't exactly the same. They have long fingers, that have thin, clawlike bones that stick out of each finger, that can retract as long as their hand can go. Degisim Sprites are genderless, and reproduce by two Degisim Sprites combining genes through a form of magic 99% of Sprites have, and many look male or female, or act like one of the two, though many remain genderfluid. They usually have relatively normal-SOUNDING names, but usually with a lot of extra letters. Like, Gayenore or Joeardane.
There's many types of Degisim Sprites, but these are the most common:
-Cherry-
Red, White, and pink color bases. Tend to hide and spook.
-Lime-
Green, Lime green, seafoam white color bases. Tend to cause others to feel sick.
-Skittle-
Rainbow color bases. Tend to do practical jokes and hand out candy that causes non-lethal, silly effects.
-Candy Cane-
Red, Green, Maroon, White color bases. Tend to use physical, non-lethal jokes.
-Sundae-

The one in the picture is a Vortex Degisim Sprite.
Culture
Degisim Sprites live in Colonies, made up of a handful of small villages that have 15-40 Sprites in each village. They have no religion, but worship their ancestors and tell folktales. Degisim Sprites are considered adult at an age of 12-14 years, though a Degisim Sprite year is about a month longer than a Human year. They must complete an initiation, which varies between the culture of each Colony. Some can be lethal, while others are barely more than a quiz. Before they reach adulthood, they are trained how to use the magic abilities of their Degisim Type.
Degisim Years
Degisim Sprites have a different calendar than us. While our average year is 365 days, every Degisim year is 395 days. Their planet's solar system is straight, and the years do not need to be changed, no Leap Years, etc. And from that, the average age Degisim Sprites are given the adulthood test is at 12, instead of the Human way of turning 18 and instantly being an adult.
Rules
-Remember that Degisim Sprites can steal multiple images, and depending on if the artist draws a stolen image form, you can make your own stolen image form for your Degisim. But please don't actually STEAL an image from someone, like using a warped version of someone's character without permission. Of course, you can ASK for permission, and use your own characters.
-Degisim Sprites spell names differently, so if you spell their name "Shade" in the adoption forum, it'll be named "Sheide", because they use extra, silent letters and just spell names differently in general.
-A rule for the artists: No matter how similar they seem, NO. TWO. HEAD. ITEMS. ARE. THE. SAME.
-One more rule for artists, don't use the reference that's there. That's Gayenore and Gayenore only. You have to do your OWN lines.
Degisim Sprites are owned by me and cherryfreeze.
They are a CLOSED species, meaning you can NOT make your own. I'll be selling, auctioning, raffling, and "impress-me"-ing some designs.
