SPECIES INFOMATION:

Gemtails are a race of felines that have gems on their foreheads, chests, and tail tips. They can also have gems in other places as well. Their gems carry their soul essence and if all gems are removed they die. However, if every gem but one is removed they will regrow over time but during this time they are very sick. If a gem is broken but not fully removed the gem will remain that way, whether it is chipped or snapped off. The prefer to live in caves and dark forests in groups called clans although they are known to live on their own. They can also live at beaches and in urban areas if they choose to. They are attracted to shiny and colorful objects left behind by humans, such as jewelry, bandanas, and even bottles. Gemtails have incredible strong tails and are known to pick up objects and young ones with their tail.

While they generally have brightly colored gems, they can be any color, although the color of their gems are never the same exact color as any other color on their body. The gem, however, can be a darker and lighter shade of any color on them.

Multi-colored gems can be obtained through breeding with the Rainbow Gemtail, Glade or another gem tail with multi colored gems. Also you can commission them or sometimes find them on adopts. Keep in mind that is is only a POSSIBILITY and you may not get a multi-colored gemmed Gemtail every time you breed.

Gemtails are either born, hatched from a gem, or very rarely come from a "fallen star' or meteorite. These Fallen Star Gemtails are rare and different from other Gemtails, so not many exist.

You may only breed gemtails with my permission and with other Gemtails. As the species expands their will be more freedom for the owners, as well as other breeds. If you have any ideas for the species, feel free to message me about it, as I love to hear other people's ideas.

Keep in mind that this is a CLOSED SPECIES. That means that you must commission or adopt them from me or the people I have permitted to make them. for those who can not afford the prices for customs, adopts will be cheaper and I will make free sheets, every once in a while.

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

Baby Gemtails:
Baby Gemtails are delicate little things, generally with a muted version of their gem color as their baby gems. As they grown, their gems will flake into the brilliant color they are are supposed to be. The flakes are similar to the rock Mica and are actually valuable to humans. They reflect very little, unlike the adult gems, so they do not attracts hostiles with the shine. Baby gemtails that are born of gems generally have their full colored gems are birth and sometimes come out full grown even, depending on the age of said gem and the depth of the gem when it's found. Gemtails that are born of a Fallen star are ALWAYS born full grown but the special breed it's self has trouble breeding with in it's own kind, thus cross breeding into original Gemtails. Their Extra Gems do not grown in until they are a year old unless they are on their elbow.

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

Adult Gemtails:
Male - Male Gemtails by nature are larger and have thicker tails and sharper gems for defense. Like lions, Males are more likely to be loners and are more likely to be aggressive if spotted by a human. They are slower than the females because of size but have massive paws to make up for the slower speed in brute strength.
----
Female - Female Gemtails are smaller by nature. Their gems are sharp but their tails are originally split down farther, allowing them to have a wider range of attack and carry more things. While males are more likely to be loners, females are more defensive and a fierce when challenged. They do not back down when young are involved. They will fight to the death for a kit.

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

Fallen Stars:
Fallen Stars are a mystery. They hatch from special meteorites that hit the earth. They always come out as adults and the only way for a pure kit to be born is by breeding two Fallens. Because of their rarity, they are hard to breed and it is less likely for two Fallen Stars to have kits then a Fallen and a normal Gemtail. Fallen Stars are still Gemtails, just a special off breed.

Example: fav.me/davhzi3

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

Lifespan:
Gemtails have a weirdly long life span. They are adults at 2 years old and can live thousands of years, unless killed. The oldest found one was three thousand years old and was bald and blind. He died shortly after being found.

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

Human Interaction:
They generally stray away from humans but are known to be rather friendly and cute pets. They are also hunted by humans for their valuable gems. When owned as pets, the gems are generally filed down so they do not accidentally hurt their owners. The filing does not hurt the gemtails. When an owner "dies", they are either sent to the pound or set free. If you do not wish to own your gemtail any longer please message me with the information and they shall be placed in the adoption center.

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

Origin:
Gemtails originate from eight Originals, all born of gems. Onyx, Ruby, Moon, Sun, Sapphire, Emerald, Storm, and Glade. They made the first clan of Gemtails called Starbound. They all remain alive today, the only found immortals of the species. Why they are immortals, no one knows nor dare to ask.

faithdakitty In reply to Uxileaf [2017-01-15 17:40:56 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I am! If you buy the rights you can make your own with any traits and you can make adopts, giving me a small part of what you make from them as well as you are made a contributor in the group and get say in the development of the species. The rights cost 350 - 400 (depending on how much you're welling to pay) I just put a section in the description about it -w-

Thank you! This is an old Species concept I came up with like years ago. The last time I updated them was around 2013 so I figured I'd find these (which I made at some point last year) and upload them! The MYO slots are a little expensive, I should probably make varied ones for different trait levels XP

Fi-Senpai In reply to faithdakitty [2017-01-15 16:29:46 +0000 UTC]

I kinda want to have rights to the spieces, if possible? Like, for example, so I can be allowed to have one, with either traits, and be able to make adopts. Is  that possible?

faithdakitty In reply to Fi-Senpai [2017-01-15 16:37:07 +0000 UTC]

I never thought of that but I think that would be cool!  I know people usually sell rights so how much would you be willing to pay for the rights?

Fi-Senpai In reply to faithdakitty [2017-01-15 16:38:17 +0000 UTC]

That'd be up to you, its your species after all

faithdakitty In reply to Fi-Senpai [2017-01-15 16:57:05 +0000 UTC]

I'm trying to think of a fair price XP I was thinking maybe 400 - 500? I'd go higher but I'm trying to think base on how much the species itself is worth and being able to take your own with any traits and make adopts whenever you want to. It's just starting out so maybe rights would be worth less than that. I'm willing to haggle. Plus you'd be put up to contributor status in the group and have some control and be able to have a good amount of input on the species development and such.

Fi-Senpai In reply to faithdakitty [2017-01-15 16:59:51 +0000 UTC]

hum... 350 sounds more fair, since at least a fair share of the adopts sold would go to you. What to do you think?

Can I make my Gemtail with a third eye?
Also, do the gems have to specifically be in the chest?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

faithdakitty In reply to Fi-Senpai [2017-01-17 18:06:12 +0000 UTC]

The third eye sound like a cool idea but would it replace the gem or would it go under or over it? Also, yes. Although, they can have gems that have been broken off or removed. It'll make the gemtail a little sickly from it being removed. If its just snapped off then they should be fine and those fur can got long enough to cover the broken gem.

Fi-Senpai In reply to faithdakitty [2017-01-17 18:10:04 +0000 UTC]

No, those were different questions, sorry xD
I wanted to give him a third eye where the chest gem is, and make the chest gem a forehead gem instead. But if not, i can keep it a chest gem and get a third eye on his forehead

faithdakitty In reply to Fi-Senpai [2017-01-17 18:16:59 +0000 UTC]

You could make his chest gem into a Crystal eye that still blinks and works normally but is jist made of crystal. I plan on introducing diffrent crystal shapes soon anyways and thats a really cool legendary tier concept.

Ohhhhh thats a cool idea! Thank you <3
I guess my cat will be a legendary then? xD

faithdakitty In reply to Fi-Senpai [2017-01-17 18:25:43 +0000 UTC]

it all depends on the traits you mix. One legendary trait plus a bunch of common would most likely make them a rare. But you can choose to list him as Legendary if you wish!

I had a idea that for a more domesticated kind of gemtails that their gems slowly mutated to be rounded over time instead of pointed like the more wild ones.
