======Forms Guide======

//Please refer to the Table of Contents to the right for specific links to relevant sections.//

In [[Kunvadis]], the act of taking new forms is called "**Weaveshifiting**". There are many different kinds of forms that a [[Stellaborn]] can shift into. Forms can be unlocked naturally or by using **[[Weaveshift|Weaveshift Fruits]]**. Read each guide below for details on unlocking each form. Unlocked forms can be used at any time, and once unlocked, users can make specific changes freely without requiring approvals.

--------
=====Limbs and Digits=====
Starlight Commons has defined limbs and digits separately to make splicing easier for users and Moderators. It is important to know these distinctions.

A **Limb** is defined as the Arms, Legs, Tail, and Head.
\\ A **Digit** is defined as anything that attaches to a limb. Specifically, fingers, ears, and toes.

=====Full-Body 3-Limb Guide=====

{{ fable-limbcountex1.png?300 |Fable Limb Count Example}} \\ **What is a Fullbody?**
\\ A full-body counts as at **least** three limbs showing. It can be any of the limbs, including limbs unlocked with the [[Multiple Limbs|Multiple Limbs Anomaly]].

**What can cover the body and still count as a limb?**

**White** = OK | **Orange** = May be Declined | **Red** = Will be Declined

=====Base Form=====

{{ fable-starterex.png?300 |Fable Base Form Example}} **What is a Base Form?**
\\ A "Base Form" is the default form your [[Stellaborn]] starts with before unlocking any other forms. It reflects the character's Species and Subspecies listed on the **[[https://toyhou.se/StarlightCommons|Masterlist]]**.

--------
=====Automatic Form=====

{{ fable-travelerex.png?300 |Fable Base Form Example}} **What are Automatic Forms?**
\\ Some forms come automatically with your [[Stellaborn]], depending on its Species. These forms do not require separate unlocking.

**Traveler Form**
\\ Every [[Stellaborn]] automatically has the **Traveler Form** unlocked for their subspecies. This is a larger, centaur-like version of the character. To unlock additional Traveler Forms from other Subspecies, you must unlock the form of that species on the Masterlist.

=====Weaveshifting Stellaborn & their Designs=====

{{ fable-weaveshiftex.png?300 |Fable Weaveshift Form Example}} **What causes Weaveshifting?**
\\ Weaveshifting is the ability of a [[Stellaborn]] to change their form, caused by the consumption of a **[[Weaveshift|Weaveshift Fruit]]**. What they can shift into is listed on the [[Weaveshift]] page.

**Transferring Designs Between Forms**
\\ When a [[Stellaborn]] shifts into a new form, all [[Astral Core|Astral Cores]], markings, and colors must stay the same. If the new form has features not present in the base form, the design should be transferred as closely as possible. 

**Anatomy Changes and How to Transfer Designs**
\\ Some forms have very different shapes, which can make design transfer tricky. If unsure, do your best to match key shapes and colors. 
\\ For complex designs, consider submitting a simpler version to **[[Greener Pastures Salon & Realty|Design Approval]]** that works in all forms. 

--------
=====Forms and Natural Coats/Coloration=====

{{ fable-naturalcoatex.png?300 |Fable Natural Coat Example}} **Natural Coats & Coloration when Weaveshifting**
\\ When **[[Weaveshift|Weaveshifting]]**, characters can take on the natural coat of the [[Roamkin]] form they shift into. This includes variations in animal fur colors or human skin tones. **[[Astral Core|Astral Core's]]** do not change without the use of a [[Chronovelour]]. 

Details about [[Roamkin]] Natural Coats are listed on the **[[Roamkin]]** pages.

--------
=====Forms and Natural Anomalies=====

{{ fable-naturalanomaliesex.png?300 |Fable Natural Anomalies Example}} **Natural [[Anomalies]] in Weaveshifted Forms**
\\ Some [[Stellaborn]] have **Natural Anomalies**. When weaveshifting into one of these forms, the character can freely use its Natural Anomalies. If that [[Anomalies|Anomaly]] allows free color edits, those can be used as well.

For more details and examples, see the **[[Design Guide#Free Color Change|Free Color Change]]** and **[[Anomalies|Anomaly Guide]]**.
