#tisere

The mutation is on the locus and causes the markings to appear as these sort of classic tabby markings. It is dominant over tipping and recessive to everything else like other things on the locus. It is epistatic to marking less.

Tisere lifecycle

Blood-born

A male and a female Tisere, working together, can make a Blood-Born Tisere egg. A Blood-Born egg, a fertilized egg, has an incubation period of 6 months. However, the egg stays fertilized in the mother for three month and then the egg is laid and will take 6 months to hatch. Females will not have recovered from her egg laying in order to have another for at least a year.

Magic-born

Some Tisere are magic-born. A female without a male can lay an unfertilized egg. If that female lays this unfertilized egg within three months after the winter solstice(the day of all night), the egg has a 35% chance to take on an aspect of something nearby when it is being laid and thus become magically fertilized. Magic eggs, do not look like normal eggs. They will look like the thing that fertilized them. iIf a magic egg is incubated, it can hatch. These eggs are called Magic-Born.  Because of the circumstances of their creation, they cannot have children nor can they lay eggs. Magic-Born do not have gem magic like other Tisere. Instead, they have a small power related to the things that fertilize them. Magic-Born are not able to use any magic other than  aspect magic.

Life stages

Hatchling

When any egg hatches, it hatches into a chick. The chick stage lasts for a year. During this year, chicks cannot fly and are completely dependent upon caregivers, parents, or guardians. At this time, the chick is learning to hold its head up, stand, walk, and eat. 

Fledgling

After the chick stage comes the fledgling stage. During this stage, the fledgling is learning how to jump, fly, how to communicate, and will stay near its parents, guardian or caregivers. This stage lasts from the 1st year of life till the 3rd year of life. It’s also known as the Frightful Fledgling Stage as fledglings tend to wander off and make their parents feel very frightened for their safety.

shreeling

After the fledgling stage comes the shreeling stage. Here they learn how to get along with others, and other expectations from those around them.  This stage lasts from the 3rd to 6th year.

juvenile

Juvenile stage lasting from the 6th to 11th year of life. These juveniles oare usually learning the written language,  numerical sums, follow around an older individual or caregivers to learn how to forage for food and avoid predators.

Adolescent 12

After that comes the adolescent stage. In the 12th year, on the summer solstice (day of all light), on tiTara, adolescences who are Blood-Born(not Magic-Born), begin to grow their magical gem. They can apprentice to learn their magic type from someone else with a gem. Some of The adolescent’s magic is determined by the color, which they receive seemingly at random. Their gem shape grows as they are being taught. The appearance of the gem determines part of what their magic does. 

Adolescent 13

During the 13th year they finish their window of impressionability and their magic is set. They can continue to develop their magical abilities, but what they can do with their magic is set. If they do not study under another individual, they will be assigned a type at random. 

Adolescent 14-15

During Years 13 through 15 these individuals usually refine their magical abilities by studying under an older individual with more experience.

Young adult

When a Tisere becomes 16 they are considered an adult. Their bodies are capable of having offspring. Most will spend several years working on their trade and trying to find a partner with which to have children. However these little creatures have their agency and often choose their own path.

Mature Adult

After the age of 30 individuals are no longer considered young adults but mature Adults. Socially they’re in a different stage around this age. Individuals usually have already had children and are spending their time taking care of those children.

Middle aged adult

Adults from 40 to  50 years of age are now Middle aged. These individuals are considered elderly and are often counseled as wise ones. They often do a lot of chick sitting for their grand chicks and are usually preparing to retire or have already done so. 

Elder

Elders, after 50 years of working to stay alive, often retire from their work and can continue to live from anywhere between 60 to 90 more years. A rare few individuals can make it to their early hundreds.

The Tisere Genetic system

With over half a million possible genotypes

How it works

Each locus is a place on a chromosome where variation can happen. Each locus is labeled with a letter and the word locus. At every locus, there are different versions of a gene. These versions are called alleles. Different alleles can produce different traits, or phenotypes.

Some alleles are dominant. This means if an individual has that allele, it will show up in their traits. Other alleles are recessive, meaning they are only expressed when no dominant allele is present.

When a child is formed, alleles are passed down through recombination. Each parent gives one allele for each locus. That way, every individual has two alleles per locus (except on the sex chromosomes, which are a special case but not relevant here).

If both alleles at a locus are the same, the individual is homozygous. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous. Sometimes, when alleles are different, the traits mix or both show up. This is called incomplete dominance or codominance. Not all alleles act this way—only certain ones.

The expression of d makes non-marking areas the dilution color

I Locus iridescence

I iridescent

i non-iridescent

Iridescent, and it’s sheen modifiers covers completely black base and effect no other areas including black, dilution, and black marking color

S locus sheen

Sv Violet

T locus Beak&Talon color

T copper/gold

tg yellow/pink

t silver/black

K locus beak&talon modifier

K yes

k no

 No          Yes

silver = gray/black

Gold = Copper

Pink = Yellow

E locus eye colors 

E black 

Ey yellow

Eg green

Eb blue

Incomplete dominant 

Ey/Eg gold

Ey/Eb brown

Eb/Eg teal

E is completely dominant over other eye colors

Color shapes

A locus marking presence

A no markings 

a markings 

M locus Marking type 

M Check

Mb Bar

mc unnamed, new mutation

m Tiping

Y locus Dark light swap

Y unaffected

y affected

Affect markings are paler than rest of body if no marking is present, individual is marking color

No effect markings are darker than the rest of body if no marking is present the individual would be base or dilute

W locus Wight

Wb/Wd White blanket

W speckled homozygous lethal 

Ws wight Small

Wc Color

W locus expression, descriptions

WW born dead or not born at all

WbWb completely white

WsWs underbelly Undertale, and some of under wings are white. The rest of the individual is color

WcWc no white visible

WbWc

The face in her wing inner tail and underbelly are white

WWc

An area under the eyes has a small amount of white underbelly has small white speckles

WSWC head top of wing top and inner wing are all white

WSW the spots on the breast are bigger than WWC

WSWB has saddle, marking, may have some variation due to development

WBW looks completely white and you can’t tell whether it has a  W or not which can be dangerous so common convention says if Tisere are  completely white, they should not have children with each other

G locus Grizzle

Gs grizzle splotched 

Gb grizzle Blizzard 

Gn no grizzle 

g grizzle tiger

Incomplete dominant

Gn + Gb = powder

Body shape 

C locus Crest

C of

c on

Back of head feather(s)

F locus Feathered feet 

F no

f yes

feet feathers may grow at different places on the feet

In function of Tisere reproduction I would like to note that birds sex chromosomes work in reverse from humans. There is the Z chromosome two copies of which equals male and one copy of which plus the female W chromosome equals a female.
