RE: Highest number traits? and what is the list of them?
Maybe i'm not quite understanding the issue here but i think creating yet another term for representing genesis traits would only lead to more confusion.
As i see it, the genesis traits are still traits but they are just the most dominant. Lets imagine for an instant we called them plurks ; the newcomer would be asking " wtf is a "plurk" ? " we'd still have to explain that these are what are referred as genesis traits.
As it stands now the only starter traits which aren't named genesis are the eye shape and size and whisker colour and shape ( and Liri and Nyna's doc is very complete and clear reading i find ), and i think if a newcomer can't get these basics into their head well they sure won't be able to handle the rest of it all.
And for the Geneses not being traits, of course they are, just that they are the most dominant, also in the case of furs and eyes there is a pecking order which is usefull for defining whether a newborn is hiding a genesis a non genesis fur or eye.
i.e. : just imagine that 7 traited box (YAAAAY !!) i get from two starters but which is showing Genesis Diamond 11 (GRRRR !!). From later breedings i find out the Coco 11 starter partner is hiding Oci Ebony or better, plus Fussy , Ody1, Blonde, Wavy etc ...( OMG !!! ) I double check the first box and the trait charts and see that as Coco is dom to Diamond, ooooooh my 7T dissapointment can only be hiding this super recessive fur as well as all the other yummies, i therefore have a mega-epic breeder on my hands with my formerly GRRRR box (WOOOOOT, FAINTS !!!!)
Well this breeder considers the Geneses as traits anyhow and tries to illustrate their function as such.
