Habitat
Magykits inhabit large underground burrows called warrens. The Warrens are dimly lit by bioluminescent mushrooms and small magical floating orbs of light. Within the center of these warrens grow a magical tree. The tree grows through the opening of a naturally formed underground cavern. The top of the tree sprouts out of the ceiling of the burrow into the upper world. The tree is sacred to the magykits and is believed to be where they get their magical powers from.

Life span and culture

Magykits are able to be reincarnated if they die before adulthood. When this happens they are reborn as a crystal touched and possess more magic and a closer bond with the great tree; along with a crystal like mutation. This is believed to be due to the strong bond and shared magical connection to the great tree and in turn their goddess that all young magykits possess. Their coming of age ceremony is when they sever this tie with the tree to no longer borrow its power but to then use their own to protect it. In doing so they no longer have the ability to be reborn as crystal touched. During the ceremony the young magykit takes on their adult name, and is no longer referred to as a kit, their portrait is added to the scrolls to document their presence in the warren. This ceremony is celebrated once a year as that years kits chose to become adults. The age of a magykit has less to do with the time that they become an adult in the eyes of their warren and more to do with when they feel it is time to transcend. A kit cannot leave the warren both due to cultural and magical barriers. Many young adult magykits venture out of the warren in search of adventure, knowledge, or magical items shortly after their coming of age.

When an adult magykit dies in the warrens they are laid to rest at the roots of the great tree to join their goddess and their magic passed on. If one dies outside of a warren the keeper of the tree can feel the loss of life and then organizes members to retrieve the body so their fallen brethren can be laid to rest at the roots of the great tree. Even if it is not within the deceased original warren.

Culturally magykit has little need want or through for clothing. It is not uncommon for a maykit to live their entire life having never worn clothes. However it is common for magykit who have spent time among other races to adopt clothing and even enjoy fashion. Articles like bandannas, shawls, and aprons are exceptions and common in the warrens.

Magykit are born from crystal eggs that form in the roots of the tree after a mating pair have completed a ceremony to bring new life into the world. Due to the magical nature of magykit reproduction a mating pair is not limited to female x male pairs. As such there is no discrimination for homosexuality or other sexualities. Magykit however do not form mating pairs with non magykit while living in the warrens, only when they are exploring outside do you see couples of mixed species.

Very rarely is a non magykit allowed to enter the warrens and only ever under dire circumstances. The magyki as a society view the warrens as a sacred space made only for them.

Magykit eat mushrooms, small underground animals and fish as their main food source. Most warrens have vast mushroom farms but lack in meat farming opting for hunting and fishing for those sources, however it is not unheard of for some to raise small game as food.

Magykits are a small magically inclined intelligent species of ground dwelling mammals. They resemble a mix of squirrel, cat, fox and rabbit. They stand at a max height of 4 feet tall not including the height of their ears. They have two sets of both ears and eyes . All magykits have one set of lower facing ears that give them a sort of tremor sense when it comes to listening to movement in the tunnels below them. This set stays stagnant and always face down and slightly forward. The second set is set higher up on their heads and swivel at will in all directions. The top set is either the same size or larger than the lower set. Unless brought on by a rare mutation all magykits have two sets of eyes. One large set and one smaller set just above. Both pairs of eyes can focus in separate directions at once. Magykits can have the condition heterochromia however it never results in more than two different eye colors. Culturally it is common to see magykits cover one set of eyes at a time when traversing above ground for quick acclimation to returning to the dim warrens. All magykits possess the ability to summon floating orbs of light. Magykits also have extremely long tails ranging from the same length as their overall height to three times their height. Their tails are very nimble however they are not prehensile. They have rodent-like hands with fingernail-like claws and small pads. They stand bipedal with digitigrade legs that have large thick thighs that tapper into cat-like feet with paw pads and fur growth similar to cats.

Magykits often only have up to three colors to their fur. Most of their fur patterns are simple with large markings, such as chest tufts “socks' and “arm sleeve” type patterns. Their tails are often ringed, tipped or solid colored. Magykits have mohawk like fur growth on their heads that trail down their necks. These mohawks can be small or very long and fluffy depending on personal preference. There are no noticeable differences between male and female sexs of the species beyond genital that is hidden under fluff. Gender is often fluid and unimportant to a magykit.

What is an open species?
An open species is a species of anthropomorphic characters that anyone can create their own character of. There are a few rules to keep the characters in the species on model but are otherwise not regulated.

Do you need to ask permission to make a magykit?
No. You do not need permission to make a magykit. However free bases and commission slots are available to assist in creation of your magykit.

What are the scrolls?
The scrolls are a living list of all known and recognized magykit by the creator  cosmicinu

How do i get my magykit in the scrolls?
You either commission a reference sheet from Cosmic Inu, or submit a copy of your reference sheet to be added. You can use the free to use bases as your reference sheet.

Are crystal traits locked or limited traits?
No, crystal traits are not locked behind a paywall but are limited by lore to 1 per magykit. Please take the limitation into consideration when creating your magykit.

What if i don't want to design my own but i still want one?
You can always adopt one of the premade magykits from Cosmic Inu or request a random adopt be made for you on commission.


Rules of creation.
All magykit must follow these rules to be considered a magykit. Please try to keep your magykit on model when creating to keep the species coherent.
