Traits
Permababy (Common)
"Now I never understood why people went around kissing babies, but--honey--if you're looking for forehead smooches, this is bound to give you those goo-goo eyes that make them go crazy! ...I'm not responsible for any pacifiers you might be subjected to, however."
The character's size, stature, and other traits become like that of a child for their species.
Characters with Permababy:
Injury (Common)
An injury of some sort. Could be a missing limb, a scar, a torn ear, etc.
Please refer to the Injury Guide for injury examples! Your character does not have to follow the canon examples of injuries shown on that page.

Characters with Injury:
Enchanted Clothing (Common)
Your character gains enchanted clothing. The magical properties of them can vary widely, parts of the clothing may float, give off elemental effects, etc.

Characters with Enchanted Clothing:
Phantom Limb (Common)
One of your character's limbs vanishes, leaving behind a smooth area that appears as if it never had a limb to begin with... Optionally: The missing limb can become "spectral", leaving behind a ghost imprint of what once was there. This ghost limb can be walked on/used normally.
There is theoretically no limit to how many limbs can be affected, but it would be a bit weird if your character just had... no legs...
(This trait can affect other areas that aren't limbs, such as tails, ears, horns, etc. Please make sure the phantom area matches the trait listed on your character's trait list!)

Characters with Fur Styling:
Magical Disability (Common)
Your character possesses some form of magical disability, whether it be a lack of magic, difficulty casting spells, or anything similar.
This can extend to innate magic, proficiencies, or even both. Those lacking their innate magic may lack abilities that most of their kind typically possess. (Your character could lack or struggle with 1 or 2 abilities that their species typically has, more, or even all of them at once. For example, a ringling that can fly, but cannot heal others.)
You can read about the various species' magical disabilities, how they impact them, how they accommodate for them, and more-- on their respective species pages.
For species with traits that tie into their magic, this trait bypasses them. For example, a standard sqwagul typically has average magic, however your sqwagul could be unable to cast spells despite this.
Characters with Magical Disability:
Standard Ears (Sqwagul) (Common)

- Any of the depicted styles in the trait image are acceptable, aside from the ones that are marked as incorrect.
ALLOWED:
