What exactly is a chroma gaze?
Each of the three Color Chromas carry the genetic trait of the chroma gaze pertaining to their color; however, it goes beyond simple eye color. With each colored gaze comes an ability and a natural understanding and acceptance of their culture. An overwhelming sense of pride comes with each chroma gaze. Blues stay with blues, reds stay with reds. It will be very rare that you see two different colors mingling. This has a strong influence on life within Taopleco for those who a chroma gaze has transmitted to.
How does it work? (for humans)
Something in your mind doesn't process the change. When your eyes begin to shift color, it appears as though there is nothing changing. It can take between 3-5 days for the chroma gaze transmission to be completed. You may feel drawn to others who share your chroma gaze (without understanding that the color chroma is the cause of the attraction) and pushed away from those without it (without understanding that they are different from you). Naturally you are drawn to Primarys of your color. You are unable to unlock the ability that follows the chroma gaze unless you received the awakening from a Primary.
How does it get passed on?
Each of the Color Chromas have a HQ where they store their highly valuable khrozein of their color. The radiation from the element causes the change in those around it. The Color Chromas may insert pockets of the material around the city in strategic places so that it will begin to spread naturally, though, because the material is rare and of limited supplies, they must be careful that enemy chromas do not discover the pockets. Primary Chromas have the ability to naturally spread the chroma gaze onto others simply by hanging around for long periods of time. It's a slower process, and may take weeks before it is successfully passed on, but it has proven to be an efficient method.
Are there any exceptions?
There are a few, known, defects of the chroma gaze in which a person's body and mind may completely reject the change. This is dangerous because if they live in an area completely controlled by a color, then they will become a social outcast. Color Chromas are able to spot them easily. They may eliminate the person or attempt to force the chroma gaze onto them with less natural methods.
