Traits

Flesh or markings that appear to be shimmer like polished metal.

• This trait allows for the addition of new colors without the need for an item. Any new colors can only be applied to the area affected by the trait — adding new colors elsewhere on the body requires a Betta Brush.
• Must be visibly shiny/metallic.
• Can affect the sensors and band.
• CANNOT mimic Material Parts. Metallic shimmer is only skin-deep and cosmetic — parts made of actual metal require both the Material Parts and Metallic Shimmer traits.
• CANNOT mimic Charms or Glitter without both traits being applied.
• Can only affect up to 50% of the body on all subtypes EXCLUDING Planetary and Limited subtypes, which can have up to 100% coverage, and Fossils, who can have up to 60% coverage.
