Inherited trait

Eye Color

Eye color comes in three inherited looks - brown, green, and blue - plus an unnatural set that's character-creator only. Brown is dominant and blue is recessive, which makes blue the rarest to inherit.

What will my child inherit?

  • Brown is dominant: a child shows it whenever at least one parent passes on the gene.
  • Blue is recessive: a child only shows it when both parents pass it on.
  • Two Brown parents can still have a Blue child - if both quietly carry the Blue gene, it can surface.
  • Two Blue parents always have Blue children.
