More on my closed species.
Things to notes!
- Any gene can show up in any tokicean tribe.
- Hair styles and ear styles are NOT tribe specific. They wildly differ.
- Hybrids are common! The population percentage estimate is of individuals living in that tribe. They aren't necessarily born with the common genes found there.
- Mutations can occur in any tribe, but are almost standard for thermal vent tokiceans.
- Tokiceans have gills, which are mostly useless. Adults spend most-- if not all-- of their time on land.
- Only young tokiceans become dehydrated easily. For this reason, most tribes have constructed some sort of pool stroller to keep their children hydrated.
- Tokiceans are pregnant for a while before laying an egg. The egg actually the amniotic sac hardened, but the unborn tokiceans need longer than the womb will allow to develop.
- Eggs must remain in water at all times. A dehydrated up egg will die.
- A tokicean's gestation is about 5-6 months in womb and 3-6 months in an egg.
- Thermal vent tokiceans' eggs hatch in only three weeks.

No it's 1, 2.... 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10!
now i'm teaching you to count, come on !! get with it.
i won't even give you a rating. that's too disgraceful.
Will be working on adopts today. I haven't decided if they'll be secret egg adopts or not. If not, I'll prolly stream.
For customs, it's gonna be a lil bit on those. I need to draw a few to get a feel for what traits work and what traits just sound good in my head. :P

Genevieve would be oceanic!
She has a fused tailfin, which isn't the same as a skirt. Skirts are tailfins that connect all the way around the hip. In the back, they can be separate fins on each side of the tail. Genevieve's tail fins and hip fins aren't fused together, so they wouldn't count as a skirt.
Keep in mind, though, that any gene can show up in any tribe. Not all skirts will be on lake tokiceans, and not all lake tokiceans would have skirts.
It is a bit difficult to see that they connect in the pic up there ^, but usually fins covering the same gills will have the same sort of texture/pattern thing going on.

WELL. HERE'S THE ROUGHS OF WHAT I HAVE. I hope it helps!
Different spring tokiceans will have different rituals in each location and also with individuals and families. Like one family might have a phrase they say to each other before they leave the house (just to be safe) or one region might say "How do" instead of "hello" as a greeting.
As for yearly festivals, the main tokicean festival (celebrated by all tokiceans, basically tokicean christmas), happens in the summer on the solstice (usually around June 21~23). For a few weeks before, all tokiceans will get a bioluminesce to their fins, and on the solstice they exchange one gift to another tokiceans. Some travel to other tribes' festivals. All tribes have their own festivals, but depending on location they may be big or small, etc. The gift given is usually small. Like maybe a child would make a card or an old man whittle a wooden toy & they'd exchange. and the gifts are exchanged with strangers! Also only one gift and item per tokicean! & some tokiceans exchange their previous year's gift to a stranger for the next year. For early tokicean evolutionary stages, this time was meant for breeding season, but now it's just celebrated as a form of unity and peace among all the tribes.
Spring tokiceans, in particular, have a festivals celebrating each season of the year. Like the first heavy snow, they'll have a snowy festival where they all build snow sculptures and snow-based foods (like maple syrup snow lol). They also have a common habit of stopping to appreciate the beauty around them and reciting a motto/prayer that means something to them. It may be a familial, regional, or personal saying. For example, if you saw a cute wild chipmunk, you might be like "OMG!! CUTE CHIPMUNK!!" But a spring tokicean would likely be like "Lovely things are everywhere!"
For the smaller festivals, I don't have those all fleshed out yet. ;v;
