This is my new species that I have created. For now it is closed, but as I am not going to be able to make adopts, I'm wondering if anyone would want to pay a small fee to make some adoptables of them. I'd also like to get reference sheets for the species drawn for me and such. I'd be willing to pay a number of points for this. Also, I'd love to get some customs of this species from others x3 Which is why it is partly open for those I ask to make customs. 


Candle Cats

- Normal looking cats
- They have a see-through compartment where their hearts would be that holds the candle/candles they have.

- The compartment is kept safe by a lock the cat has around its neck.

- They have a lantern like candle hanging from their tails. This lantern also has a box holding 1-20 matches, which are significant. 
The cat could die when the candle in its hearts fire goes out. But, if they have matches in their tails still available, they are able to relight the fire in their heart and keep them alive. If they have no matches left, they are unfortunately fated to die unless another cat gives one of their mansions. 
-There are 7 types for this species: 

Taper Candle- These Cats tend to be lankier than the others. Their tails are also significantly longer usually being around twice the size of the cats body. The lanterns on the end of their tails are small and thin and contain a small candle holder needed to hold the Taper candle inside, there is also a small drawer like compartment at the bottom of the lantern to hold the matches inside.

The see-through compartment is also small and thin, and has a candle holder much like the tail.

The key that is around their neck is small and thin also, and is held by a small necklace that is covered by their collars.

Pillar Candle- These Cats are shorter but more well built. Their tails are around the same length as their bodies, but their tails are much thicker so they can hold the lantern at the end of their tail. The lantern at the end of their tail is large and thick, as the Pillar Candle is thick. No Candle holders are needed in this lantern as the candle can stay up on its own. Like with the Taper Candle Cats the matches are stored in a small draw at the bottom of the lantern.

The see through compartment where their heart is also quite large, as to fit the Pillar Candle inside. The key around their necks are larger, and the collars they wear are usually thicker.

Jar Filled Candle- These Cats are smaller and more petite than the others. Their tails around quite long though, and tend to curl at the ends. The lantern contains a glass container with a candle in, and a small draw at the bottom to hold the matches in. Their tails curl around the lantern.

The see-through compartment is quite small, and contains a glass container with the candle inside. The glass container actually means that their candle heart has extra protection.

The key around their necks is in a small glass container, and shows just underneath their collars, but as the glass is their as extra protection it is rare that the key is taken.

Votive Candle- These cats are small, but have long legs. Their tails are also long and curve upwards towards the end. The lantern on their tail is tall. Inside is a large glass cup like candle holder with the candle inside. Like with the others the matches are stored at the bottom.

The see-through compartment is longer and contains a long cup like glass with a candle inside.

The key around their neck is long and thin, it is also in a small cup like container, and is able to be seen under the collar, but as with the Jar Filled Candle cats the container offers extra protection.

Gel Candle- These cats are normal sized, but unlike with the others the candle inside the lantern and container where the heart is, the shapes of the candles in the Gel Candle Cat can differ, with some shapes being rarer than others.

Common- Heart

Uncommon- Star, Circle, Square, Triangle

Rare- Diamond, Spade, Club

The lantern at the end of the tail is small, and holds the gel candle. There is a draw underneath which contains matches.

The see-through compartment is the same size as the lantern on the tail, and holds the gel candle.

The key for this depends on the shape of the Gel Candle, whichever shape it is the top of the key will bear similarities to that shape. The key is able to be hidden under their collars.

 

Tea Light- The smallest of the Candle Cats, their tails are only half the size of their bodies, which are the size of a middle aged kitten. Even though they age, their size never changes from about 6 months. The lantern at the end of their tail is tiny, only holding a small tea-light and a small draw with matches in. The see-through compartment is also the same size as their lantern.

The key around their neck is also tiny, and is well hidden under their collars.


Birthday Candle- The rarest of the Candle Cats, these cats are the only cats that have the ability to gain a candle. On their birthday every year, another candle appears in their lantern and see-through compartment. These cats can range in size also, with them growing a little each year they gain a candle.

Each year they get part of a key, and every five years all of the parts become one key. The keys are held on a necklace, and are partly hidden by their collars.


- Each of the types have different rarities/body characteristics.
- The candle inside their hearts/tails is scented, and can be a huge range of scents, with some being time of the year specific and limited edition and such.

- The colour of the candle is what defines their personality.

- Each cat smells of the candle scent that their candle has. When a large group of candle cats are together, there are collar attachments they can wear to reduce the smell significantly. As some smells can be overpowering.

 

Candle colours and personality traits they may have:

Black- Negative, Brave

Blue- Wise, Harmonising, Peaceful, Healing, Lazy, Truthful, Loyal

Dark Blue- Humorous, Joyful, Loyal,

Light Blue- Tranquil, Patient, Peaceful, Calm

Yellow- Attractive, Charming, Confident, Persuasive, Knowledgeable


- Candle Cats can come in twins, and triplets, but this is very rare. Twins and Triplets not only look the same, but have the same coloured candles/typing as the others.

- Some Candle Cats may have two/three and two/three lanterns, this is rare, but also good as it means the Cat will have double the matches.

- Each Cat Normally has 9 matches in their lantern draw, although twins and triplets may only have 2-3 in there's due to the other siblings. Rarer cats may have up to 20 matches, some may have 10 in one lantern, but have two tails taking that total to 20. Also cats with three tails usually have more also.

 

 - Can turn human like, but not for a long time. The most they can stay human at once is one week, then they have to turn back. After turning human they can not again for a month, as their powers will need to restore themselves.

- As Humans they have cat ears and tails, with the lanterns on like when cat. Although not shown through clothes, they still have the see through compartment with their candle hearts. The key necklace is still around their necks also.

 

Regulations:

Partly Open Species-

 

You may create your own Candle Cat/s although I'd appreciate that no rare features were included in that making. If you wish to create a Candle Cat with rare features, please note me, and I will possibly enforce a small fee.

 

If you want to make adoptables of this species, you must firstly make me a custom of the species. Whether that be cat form or human form.

Please note that I would appreciate if the adoptables you made did not contain any rare features unless I have specifically given you permission too. If you want this, please ask and I may possibly ask for a small point fee for this.

 

Any points you do make from adoptables, I'd appreciate if you could give me small cut of what you make, such as 20-30%. Please note that this really isn't a lot considering the fact I created the species.

 

If you do not wish to make me a custom of the species before being able to make adoptables, I will ask for 30-50% of the points you make from the adoptables.

 

If you find these rules unfair, please tell me. I can change them if need be.
