Breeding Center/Pet Genotypes

Due to the expanding variety in the genders of pets, this page was created to identify all of them and what they mean and to show compatibilities with other genders. A "♪" symbol denotes that the gender in question requires multiple symbols to detail, in which ♪ is used as a placeholder for any of the other single-symbol ones.

Do note that genders may be altered at the Gene Center, though we highly discourage doing this, or breeding beyond genders may be possible through the Fusion Chamber.

♪♪... (Multigender)
Multiple symbols used to represent the gender of one pet means that the pet is either a collection of conjoined entities or that there is currently no symbol to represent the combination of genders that a pet is. For example, a two-headed pet with ♂♀ would mean that the two heads of the pet are male and female, respectively. However, if a one-headed pet is ♂♂♀, this may mean that the pet is two-thirds male and one-third female, unless a description indicates otherwise.

Breeding with multigender pets is simple when working with multiple entities: simply imply that one of the heads of a certain gender wishes to breed with one of another compatible gender. (Do note that breeding multiple entities of the same collective pet is considered incest and is not allowed.) Multigender breedings within one entity is a bit of a dodgy process and is a special case for each pet, and may require admin assistance or consultation.

? (Uncertain)
The gender of the pet in question is unidentified and cannot be identified by simple means, often meaning that the pet is not capable of breeding. If the gender is listed as ♪?, this may mean that the pet is likely to be the gender listed to the left of the question mark, though this can only be confirmed by test breeding. It may also mean that the pet has a gender that does not genetically match up with others and should be considered the mentioned gender. Question-marked pets should not be bred unless prompted by a higher authority (creator or creator's description) to do otherwise, in which case only the pet creator can be consulted for compatibility.

♪ ♪
This denotes that the pet was previously one gender, which is crossed out, but has changed from one way or another into the second one, which remains to the right of the crossed one. Depending on the circumstance in which this was done, the pet's future breed/s may be treated entirely as the second gender listed and will pay no mind to the former one, or the former one will still be genetically prominent and be consulted for breeding, although not for labeling. Genetic gender alterations from the Gene Center or another Science Center, for example, usually denote the first of these two options, while a pet that becomes unhappy with their birth gender and wishes to change will often denote the second.

[Blank]
This is, in any and all cases unless stated otherwise, a typo. Consultation will be needed from the pet creator to receive a proper answer.

All Genders
The All Gender label can be given to pets of either singular or multiple entities and allows the pet to breed indefinitely with all genders. As there is no set trump system on descriptions, this may not go into effect if the pet that wishes to be bred with the All Gender pet states that it cannot breed.

...
Pets designated with this gender will have it further described in detail in a description. Admin consultation will be needed in this case if the description fails to display this properly.

Yes/Probably/etc.
This is a joke applied to pets that should not be allowed to breed due to their low intelligence or some other circumstances. They are treated as All Gender pets should the owner decide otherwise.

Other Questions

 * "What are the sexual orientations of my pets?"
 * In the past, all pets were treated as "straight" unless described otherwise for the sake of simplicity to the new breeding system. For a brief time after that, the sexualities of pets were listed, though this proved too irritating to note. As of right now, it is up to the owner to decide the sexualities of their pets, as they are rightfully owned by them, unless a description remarks otherwise. Please note that the former owners of pets also have a larger say in the "canon" of these genders and orientations.


 * "This gender is a strange symbol/looks funny/is a rhetorical question."
 * In this case, the pet is treated as a "Yes/Probably" pet. Do remember that pets that were not intentionally created to breed may have "joke" genders, and that the reasoning behind this may lead to an unwanted outcome in breeding.


 * "These are too confusing!"
 * Tough cookies. Erm, I mean, you may always stick to the common ♂+♀ breedings or other things that you are familiar with, and you may always inquire about genders in the comments of the Breeding Center if need be. If pet creators cannot be reached, administrators here will be happy to help out.
