Color will be weighted towards one parent or the other (so a black and a silver would have mostly black or silver babies, with the occasional occurance of any of the other colors). Colors possible are: Pale Blue, Dark Blue, Black, Silver, White or Red.
Markings are another similar case: if a parent has it, it's more likely for the offspring to have it. Possible markings are: Dorsal Stripes, Points, Socks, Color-change, or Dapple. Rarely, no markings will be seen.
Marking color is separate from body color. Markings can be Gold, Orange, Black, or Silver. Rarely, Orange will mutate to Red, and Black will change to a really Dark Blue. (This is more common if there are several generations of siblings mating with one another. Vayamir with Red or Dark Blue markings are often looked upon as dangerous, even if they have no 'family history' of inbreeding.)
Face markings are a different from Markings. There are Eye-stripe (single bar across each eye), Slashes (several thin stripes across the eyes, like someone clawswiped them there), Mask, and Blaze.
Face markings can have these colors: Gold, Gray, Black, Blue. Rarely, Blue will become a Pale Blue, and Gold may become Orange. Same deal as with Marking Color in terms of how these colors are usually found.
As for head/wing/tail numbers: If parent A has 2/2/2, and parent B has 1/1/3, the children could have anywhere from 1/1/1 to 2/2/3 respectively. (1/1/1 is always a possible outcome, but becomes less likely the more heads/wings/tails both parents have. two 3/3/3's, for example, would mostly have just 3/3/3 children.) In particularly close pairings (cousins, for example), this won't follow. So if the 2/2/2 and 1/1/3 were cousins, their offspring distribution would be more likely to range the full 1/1/1 to 3/3/3 range.
As for the varying crests: children inherit either mom's crest or dad's crest. Rarely, (and seemingly at random), one of the other crest types will crop up. Available crest types: Swept spines, Crown, Spikes, Horns, Frills
Tail tips can be any of: Club, Spines, Stinger, Nothing. Children tend to inherit either mom's or dad's tail tip. Rarely/Randomly, a different tip will appear.
Wing colors tend to be variants or mergers of the colors of the parents. (In other words, generally follow how mommy and daddy look, but go with whatever looks good). Ditto with claw colors.
I think that's it.

Man, intense! Thank you for the info... is there a page anywhere that has this and the magic info paired together? Oh, and for magic/abilities, how does that inherit? I know that if the Vayamir breeds with a non-Vayamir, magic-type abilities tend to breed out first... but when both parents are Vayamir, is there any hierarchy of what traits inherit, or is it random?

Uhh.. does 'half complete' and 'on my computer' count for anything? =P I keep chipping away alternately on paging/repaging dragons and trying to get Akelara up to date. It'll get done sometime this century, I swear >.<;; Gah..
Right, Abilities/magic.
The 'All Vayamir have this' list of traits (Shapeshifting: True Bat; See Invisible; Blood Vision; Fast Healing) automatically transfer intact.
The 'some Vayamir have this' list of traits (Alter Physical Structure: Mist; Magic: (Blood/Shadow/Moon/Void); Turn Invisible; Spider-Climb; Cloak of Darkness) transfers like this:
Mom has skills A1 and A2, dad has skills B1 and B2. Offspring will get either A1/B1, A1/B2, A2/B1, or A2/B2. If the child inherits the same skill twice, one of them will permute:
Spider Climb will become Alter Physical Structure: Mist
Alter Physical Structure: Mist will become Turn Invisible
Turn Invisible will become Spider Climb
Shadow Magic will become Cloak of Darkness
Cloak of Darkness will become Void Magic
Void Magic will become Blood Magic
Blood Magic will become Moon Magic
Moon Magic will become Shadow Magic

*peeks* Starfyre I don't know if you're still doing this, but if you are could I ask for a Vayamir? I've got a couple of specs I'd like to see, if you don't mind... >.>
three heads, no preference in colors but could I have the middle head touched with a little bit of red at the muzzle?
>.>
I'm finally getting around to updating my pretties + creating more crazy people to send out, but I've discovered a loop in my mayhem.

Hope this is acceptable.
For the record, the red-mark at the tip of the middle-muzzle would be looked on as 'strange' by the rest of Vayamir society. (And if I did the red wrong, just say and I'll change it)

EDIT: Haha, I'm an idiot. Lemme give you some stats for that.
Name: up to you
Gender: up to you
Color: White fade to Black, with black eye-stripes
Abilities: Shapeshifting: True Bat; See invisible; Blood Vision; Fast Healing; Alter Physical Structure: Mist; Turn-Invisible
Height: 7'2"
Personality: up to you
