Facet Types


Every leupak has a base concept that dictates the appearance and powers of its Facet.

For shardborne leupaks, these concepts are impressions made by the leupak's creator, or randomly derived from a combination of its parent's concept and its host's physical or mental characteristics.
For venomborne leupaks, the concept is commonly a strong influence on the person's life, or a fleeting subconscious thought at the moment of envenomation.

Here are some example concepts to try:



Remember-- no two leupaks are exactly alike.
Experiment, and see how you can interpret a concept in an original way!

Facet Types Master List

This is by no means a comprehensive list; the nature of leupaks means that anything is possible.
Use these as a springboard for your own ideas, and get creative!

This is a list of possible base facet types, including simple shapes and styles, and more complex visual effect modifiers.
All facets come in a full range of solid colors.
