Character Genetics

This page offers a guide on character hair and eye genetics. If you are struggling to find the right genetic codes for your character, please speak to a member of staff!

Hair Genetics

Please note that only basic hair colours are included here. If your character has light brown hair with coppery-blonde highlights, you will only get the genetic code for 'light brown', but you can still play them in your posts as having coppery-blonde highlights.

Eye Genetics

Please note that only basic eye colours are included here. As above, you can still play with variations on the tone and precise colour in your post. Please also note that sectoral heterochromia is classed as a physical difference, so inheritance for that would be in the Differences & Disabilities category.
