Break


nBk/BkBk

Break is not a marking by itself, rather it affects other markings. Break causes a marking to break into parts or for holes to form inside the marking. This can create some fun effects and allow for unique marking interactions!

When the marking is the only on a kukuri it creates a large white spot anywhere on the kukuri.
Non-dominant (nBK) can affect one marking, using one of the below options.
Dominant (BkBk) may affect 3 markings present, one of those 3 being the large white spot.

Base Edge allowances

When Break is the only marking, the large white spot may use:

Hard

When Break affects a marking, the edge can either be hard or match the affected marking's edge type.

Symmetry allowances


Break can break other marking's symmetry rules, and when alone, may be asymmetric.

Color Allowances:

The large white spot:

Must be White


A Guide to Break


Break effects





Holes

One of Break's powers is to create a hole in a marking. This hole can be as big or as small as you wish, as long as it doesnt break a marking apart entirely.
This means you can hollow out Blanket, or just create a small hole in Hood! Its up to you!


Additionally, if a marking has many "sections" or parts (such as Dalmation, clown, or ringed), each section may have one hole each.

Breaks

The marking's namesake, Break, is its next ability. It can quite literally break a marking in half!
You can not break a marking more than once, this means the marking can not be made into more than two parts.



Special Cases



Spotty and Patterned markings

Some markings have a specific pattern, or are already broken up naturally. Markings such as Mosaic, Rune, Dalmation, and Luminescent. Markings such as these are restricted in how you can affect them!

Spotty markings such as Dalmation and Luminescent can only be given holes! This means the spots will become rings!
Patterned markings Like Mosaic or Rune can only be broken. Their patterns must also be retained, this means Mosaic can not have cut in half cells, it should still have a full border!

Clown is another special mark that can not be broken in half vertically. However you may break it horizontally or you can put a hole inside the marking!

What about haze?

When break effects haze, it may turn one marking back to normal saturation!




Dominant Break

When Break is dominant, it can affect three different markings, each being able to use different effects independently.
This means you can have one marking broken in half and another with holes in it.

One of these three affected markings can also be the large white spot that Break is normally only able to make when by itself!

Break may not however, use both effects on a marking at once, even when dominant!

Markings must either be broken, or given a hole, but not both!



Break by itself



When break is alone it can create a white spot anywhere on the body. The spot can be up to 300 px in size.

The spot MUST be white:
