Description Thanks to everyone who volunteered their OC to me! It was hard choosing, but I ended up with these four. I wanted to use trolls from different castes, and also use one kid for Mutant purposes. 
From left to right, the OC and their owners are:
*Eyphah Melain - SmallSith  
*Avivah Zimrah - IrishWolf2468
*Maress Beluaa - PixelatedHyenadae
*Nate Carson - Catrabbasso  

I think they look pretty good all things considered! 

TRAITS

 

General traits, consistent with every changeling:

 

Pastel Blood Color - Much like trolls, the Changelings are divided into different “castes” based on their blood color. Saturated blood is reserved for mutants only.

*Horns - Follows the color of the Changeling’s blood. Every Changeling has the same type of horn.

*Pupil - Follows the color of the Changeling’s blood.

*Symbol - Symbols are symmetrical, except in the case of mutants. Follows the color of the Changeling’s blood.

 

A Duochrome Color Scheme - Their color scheme consists of their blood color and a secondary color. The secondary color doesn’t really follow any rules, it’s up to you. Even mutants have a Duochrome color scheme. Only Royalty has three colors.

*Sclera - Follows the secondary color

*Pupils - Plus shaped. Follows the secondary color.

*Antennae - Follows the secondary color

*Markings - Follows the secondary blood color. No two Changelings has the same markings, though it can get pretty similar. They look like freckles, almost. The markings are always on the face of a Changeling, but sometimes they also appear on a Changeling’s shoulder. Common shapes of markings are circles, squares, crosses/plus shapes and triangles, while rare marking shapes include tear drop shapes and diamonds.

 

Mutants - As previously discussed, mutant Changelings are identified by their bright blood colors and unsymmetrical symbol. Mutants are not killed, but they are very much looked down upon and a lot of them tend to be easily affected by diseases… which is terrible considering the government ditches them in Arcadia, where the medical help is less than ideal. A lot of them tend to die pretty early on.

 

Gender and Sexuality - A large portion of Changelings identify as Bi or Pan. Asexuals and Demisexuals are aslso quite common. It’s rare for a Changeling to be interested in only one gender, but it’s not unheard of. In terms of gender, cisgender and gender neutral is equally common among Changelings.

 

Beauty - Perfection, above all else, is considered beautiful. Scars and broken horns or torn antennae are considered unsightly by changelings.

 

Fashion - All Changelings are required to wear tops that represent which sector they live in. While the top of top CAN differ, (I.e having a tank top, a shirt, a turtleneck etc.) but the shape of the shirt tail has got to remain consistent with the others in the sector. The symbol goes in the middle, and extra patterns on your shirt is allowed (in your secondary color). Jackets and coats are not common in Changelings, though it’s not BANNED or anything. Everything else is fair game, you can wear whatever you want.

 

   Gems are considered very attractive, particularly to the Highlanders.

Names - All Changelings, upon birth, are given a "stand-in" name. Their true name, which is very fantasy-like (i.e. Fidalia Minnet or something), are given on their eighteenth birthday by their guardians as something of a rite of passage. Their stand in names are decidedly uncool, and are just two regular words, some common some more "fancy", smashed together, sometimes they match sometimes they don't at all, i.e. Pin Stripe, Adagio Hymn, Ribbon Bow, and my personal main Changeling, Dust Pan. (all of the examples given are names of my own Changelings, please do not take.)

Hi! I was wondering if I could use my changeling oc in a fantroll askblog I’m setting up on Tumblr. I’ll link to you in my oc’s ref pic and link to you when anyone asks.

I have a couple questions:
1. Does the secondary color have to be pastel as well as the primary color, or can I use any color?
2. Is the top of the horn or the bottom of the horn supposed to be the actual blood color?
3. Is pink blood for Titania only (like with the Condesce and Feferi) or is it up for grabs for highlanders?
4. For their true names, are there any rules for how many letters or syllables they can have (like 6 letters for troll names)?

DeepSeaHorror In reply to adoptsbot [2017-10-02 14:26:54 +0000 UTC]

1. I pretty much just pick whichever secondary color that looks nice, secondary or otherwise! I feel like wearing neon colors as a secondary would be the Changeling equivalent of being punk rock, though. Like a sign of rebellion.
2. Bottom!
3. Yes, pink is for Titania only!
4. Nope! It's just two words strung together, as noted here: [HS Fanspecies] Changelings Base
It doesn't matter how many letters, it's just two words. 

Hope that helps!

Hey, I have some more questions if that's alright.

1. Are their teeth sharp or flat?
2. Is their hair a darker version of their blood color, or can it be pure black?
3. If a highblood or midblood is disabled, are they regulated to Arcadia like mutant-bloods are?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DeepSeaHorror In reply to adoptsbot [2017-10-02 21:05:01 +0000 UTC]

1. Mostly flat, but some have really long canines. Like vampires, almost.
2. It can be pure black. Me making them a darker version of their blood color is just a stylistic choice more than anything
3. Nope! Although they'd probably be looked down upon, and will probably have a harder time finding a job. Once they reach adulthood, they might have to go down to Arcadia anyway though if they can't find occupation.

Rave parties are super common among slum dwellers

24 hour rave parties, you leave when you pass out from exhaustion

rainbowhitter In reply to DeepSeaHorror [2017-06-05 14:22:04 +0000 UTC]

And the party is literally over when every one of them is out (unconscious)? OOoor that probably never happens XD
