The Lab

Basics:
Here is where your Chimeras can donate blood to create Offspring. Due to the amount of blood needed it is only safe for a Chimera to donate the blood once every two month. Once the blood from two Chimeras have been provided the lab techs will mix the genetics and grow the offspring. Offspring can be provided at any age to the parents, however they do not enter the collective until they are an adult. (Aka there are not growth stages, sorry.) After a Chimera is created the lab will not use their DNA for one month to allow them to acclimate to the world outside the lab.

The blood provided can typically only produce a single offspring, however you can purchase items at the Store to add a second offspring.

Offspring Possibilities

Many features have the possibility of "Mismatch" or "Duplicate" during creation.
Standard: If no special aspects are rolled then a feature is inherited from Parent 1 or Parent 2 by random chance.
Mismatch: Some features can become mismatched. Instead of inheriting from Parent 1 or Parent 2 they instead inherit a new feature that is some combination of the parents features. For example a Color mismatch is very common and means that offspring will have aspects of both parents coloration.
Duplicate: Some features can be duplicated. Instead of inheriting from Parent 1 or Parent 2 they instead gain a new copy of the feature. This new feature rolls on the mismatch table as well to determine it's appearance.

Way to Detailed Example: (There is a Google Sheet set up that does all the calculations for the artists and interprets the results.) Parent 1 has Extra: Ram Horns and Parent 2 has Extra: Narwhal horns. Extras have a 15% chance of becoming mismatched and a 70% chance of being duplicated. The artist rolls first to see if the extras are mismatched. They roll an 10 (less than or equal to 15) so the extras are mismatched. They can choose how to mismatch the horns. They could have two horns positioned similar to ram horns, but straighter with a bit of twist, or they could have a single curly horn in the middle of the forehead, the artist has complete discretion. The artist then rolls on the duplication table; a 30 (less than or equal to 70) which results in another set of extras. They roll again to see if the new set is mismatched; a 53 (NOT less than or equal to 15) so then they roll for which parent (1 or 2); a 2. So the offspring will have 1 set of mismatched horns and one set of ram horns. The artist rolls everything before planning the design so that they can alter as needed. Now that the offspring for sure has ram horns they may choose to simply add a curl to the narwhal horns. Artists have a lot of discretion in the interest of making the designs appealing.

For Chimera with numerous Extras they are 'paired' for breeding in the order they are in the listed in the parents description, however if this leads to a combination the artist thinks will lead to an awkward design they may adjust what the pairs are.

Features that can be mismatched: Body Covering (5%), Texture Modifier (70%), Color (95%), Color Modifier (5%), Ears (15%), Eyes (70%), Claws (95%), Tail (15%), Wings (5%), Extras(15%)

Features that can be duplicated: Ears (5%) [Max 6], Teeth (5%)[Max 3], Eyes (5%)[Max 8], Tail (15%)[Max 8], Wings (5%)[Max 3], Extras(70%)[Max: Any Amount/Artist Discretion]
