Description You are allowed to make a Chimiki with any number of common traits for free.  You are allowed 2 uncommon traits for free.  If you want more uncommon traits it's 5 points per trait.  If you want any rare traits it's 10 points per rare trait.  You must show me your design before posting it so I can make sure no rules were broken.  You can not make different horn types.  You can add fur to any ear type, but ear fur is an uncommon trait, so it will make common ears uncommon.  You can make new tail types following this rule: short/medium tails are common, long tails are uncommon, poofy tails are uncommon, unusual tails are rare, wispy tails are rare, and vessel tails are rare.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any!  I'll update this info if I left anything out.


Basic Chimiki Info:
Chimiki/Chimikis: Combination of the words in nahuatl Chichi (dog) and Mikistli (death).
Chimikis collect the spirits of newly dead creatures and bring them to the afterlife.  
Each chimiki has a vessel of some sort (most commonly a bottle) where they store the spirit for transport.
Occasionaly if a spirit is very strong willed or the chimiki finds the spirit favorable they might fuse.  The chimiki will then take on some aspect of the spirit's previous body.  This is a very rare occurrence and generally causes the chimiki to have multiple personalities.
Chimikis are hollow on the inside and require no sustenance.
They are spirit-like themselves and do not die.  They can also "run" through the air and go through solid objects, but feel solid most of the time.  
They generally remain unseen except to those who are about to die.  This has caused them to be seen as the bringers of death and bad luck.
However, they are not the cause of death or bad luck.
They are around the size of medium sized dogs.

Appearance:
They can either have reptile type noses (two slits) or rabbit type noses.  Both are common.
Mouth can be upturned or downturned and does not have a certain amount of points.
Generally they have short coarse fur.  Longer fur on tails is common.  Longer fur on ears is uncommon.
Chest fur , butt, and elbow fur is uncommon.  A mohawk like mane is rare as is ankle fur.
Chimikis almost always have horns.
Chimikis carry their vessels in multiple ways.  Some will carry them around their necks or tails.  Some carry their vessels in their mouths. Some hold them with their tails (normally occurs with "unusual" tails).  Very few have a vessel as part of their body.
Most chimikis do not dark pupils and have eyes that look blind.  Dark pupils are uncommon and shaped pupils are rare.
Chimikis almost always have dark patches or bags under their eyes.
A chimiki's main body color is never very saturated.  Accent colors and accessory colors can be saturated.
