Voidling Genetics

== Overview ==
This page is mostly used to describe the unique genes and traits found within the voidlings.
== Genes ==
=== CNMN1 ===
The CNMN1 gene is typically a recessive gene responsible for chiungomin production; it was named for the pigment. The gene is a rare mutated form of another, as of yet, unknown gene; the mutation has only been found in Ajaj and Snaik.
As the CNMN1 gene is recessive and both Ajaj and Snaik had the mutation, Pynichin, their daughter, displays chiungomin pigmentation. 
=== CNMN2 ===
In Pynichin, the CNMN1 gene mutated into the CNMN2 gene, which is dominant rather than recessive, causing her children to inherit her chiungomin pigmentation.
=== MXMG1 ===
The MXMG1 gene is responsible for the activation of the Mixemup trait. It is an ephemeral gene, randomly showing up in voidlings without any hereditary bias.
== Traits ==
=== Chiungomin Pigmentation ===
Chiungomin pigmentation is caused primarily by the CNMN1 or CNMN2 genes and presents as reds in the keratinous parts of the body and purples in the eyes. The chiungocytes, which are responsible for injecting pigmentation into the body, form around keratinocytes, allowing them to colour the nails and the hair. Because of the distribution of the chiungocytes, it is very rare for them to greatly affect skin colour, so eumelanin and pheomelanin still dominate skin pigmentation.
Though, for eye colouration, chiungomin isn't the only deciding factor, the amount of collagen within the irises. With the correct balance of collagen and chiungocytes, the eyes can appear lavendar or even dark blue.
=== Mixemup (Placeholder) ===
The mixemup trait is one found rarely in voidlings, it is entirely caused by the MXMG1 gene. When a voidling has the mixemup trait, their children will have their physical traits randomised, but weighted towards those of their parents.
