[Expanded Fumi Guide] Aether and Vapor
Aether A fumi's body produces a mysterious substance known as aether, which is most notably the source of their vapor. Aether is suspected to be involved in many other bodily functions but research hasn't yet uncovered it's secrets. We know that it plays a role in the a fumi's sense of sight, smell, and taste since fumis who have aether absent from their eyes or tongues have the respective senses diminished. It is also highly suspected to play a role in the fumi's circulatory system as high amounts of aether can be found in the blood, most likely it helps regulate the fumi's body temperature.Curiously, the color of aether differs between i...

[Expanded Fumi Guide] Markings and Skin
Skin Fumi bodies are usually covered in a tough, elastic hide which is velvety soft to the touch. Most fumis are in fact completely hairless aside from the occasional presence of eyelashes. Fumis shed their skin in a similar way that humans do, via fine particles of dandruff, which isn't usually noticeable.Fumi skin come in such a vast array of markings, colors, and optical effects that no two individuals look exactly alike, even those as closely related. There is no limitation to the colors and markings a fumi can come in, however some markings are difficult to produce naturally and are thus considered a premium feature. Regular (Texture...

[Expanded Fumi Guide] Ears
Ears Fumis have large, radar-like ears that are ribbed along their insides. Their ears are very cartilaginous - bendy but stiff like a human ear is. Additionally, they lack the types of muscles that would allow them to swivel the ears at sounds like a cat would or lay them back like a dog. Drawing your fumi showing expression with their ears is just about as strange as drawing a human doing the same thing with their ears. Fumi ears may lack cartilage in certain areas of the ears, giving their ears a different appearance.Fumi fans like to apply symbolism to the fumi's features in a horoscope-like system. The ears symbolize the 4 temperament...

[Expanded Fumi Guide] Mouth and Teeth
Mouth A fumi's muzzle is large and rounded, with slit nostrils that can close up to prevent debris from entering the sinuses. They have long, fat tongues that are forked at the tip! The inner flesh color matches the color of the fumi's blood/aether. The most striking facial feature that the fumi possesses are it's tusks, which are usually white or off-white in color. They grow in a variety of shapes and length.Fumi fans like to apply symbolism to the fumi's features in a horoscope-like system. The tusks symbolize methods of problem resolution.

[Expanded Fumi Guide] Horns
Horns The brows of most fumis are adorned with bony protrusions extending directly from their skulls, known as horns. These horns are always covered in a thin layer of skin, which tears easily, but features rapid regenerative properties much like the fumi's vapor sack. Although the horns can be used in protection or combat, most fumis prefer not to use them for such activities. A fumi would rather use their horns as a mating display, as larger horns typically indicate a higher level of dominance (although this is not always the case). The horns come in a wide variety of shapes, although some are more difficult to reproduce than others. In ...
