Archeons

Lore

In the beginning, Furarriums only had primal forms, living on all fours and mimicking the appearance of other mammals on Earth. However, as Furarrium society advanced, developing tools and technology to improve their lives, many realized that these tasks were difficult for creatures that relied on four legs to stand. Ancient glassie researchers, hearing the struggles of Furarrium society, proposed a solution: use magic to create a second form, allowing Furarriums to walk on two legs and use dexterous hands. This decision was initially controversial. Many believed the new form looked unnatural and disrespected the culture they had been raised in. Yet, over time, these new forms not only proved useful, but Furarriums began identifying with them more than with their primal forms. Eventually, many chose to remain in their Archeon form permanently. By present day, Archeons had been a regular thing for hundreds of years; nobody expected any other forms to be introduced... until archaeologists discovered the existence of Idols.

Archeons are generally around the same height as idols, though some might be slightly shorter if they have digitigrade legs. Their head is the same size as their primal form's head. Clothes are more common on archeons than on primals, but they aren't biologically necessary like they are for idols, so some Archeons choose not to wear any clothes. Many Archeons also have primal or idol forms, but some choose to stay only as their fluffy, two-legged selves.

Features

🌿 Fluffy fur
By default, an Archeon's fur must have one color from the Idol form's hair. Primals can have any assortment of colors or shapes for the markings on their fur, but the markings cannot change color or shape without a Color-Changing or Multiform trait.
(The fur doesn't have to be fluffy. They could even be a hairless cat if you'd like. But they have to be a mammal.)

🌿A glass tail
Your Furarrium carries their glass tail, and any other glass placements, throughout their forms. These glass tails are generally quite big.
The contents inside of their glass also stay consistent between forms.

🌿Stands on two legs, but is still an animal
Every furarrium is assigned a species - even Idol-only furarriums. Archeons stand on two legs, but they still have to follow some rules dictated by their species. All Archeons have to have a head with the anatomy of their animal. Optionally, but commonly, they will also have digitigrade legs and paws for feet and hands.

🌿Objects on their body
Plants or rocks are the default item to have placed on a Furarrium's body. However, traits can change that to any object at all. These objects maintain approximate placement on their body between forms.

Reference must be full-body and all design aspects must be visible, including eyes, markings, any glass patches, tail, and fillings. Flat-colored is preferred.
