Subtypes

A member of the Standard variant category is a quintessential example of what defines the race. A Standard Luminarian presents with the basic characteristics consistent with Luminarians and have no unique biological attributes.

• In layman’s terms, a Glowchu of completely average note with no subtype-defining characteristics would be considered Standard.
• The Standard delimination on a character's Masterlist entry is in reference to the "Subtype" category; so, Standard means they have no subtype. The "Species" category refers to whether or not a character is a Preluminarian, Luminarian, Half-Luminarian, or Non-Luminarian (aka, an ordinary Pokemon) - NOT the actual Pokemon species the character is. 
• Size, color, and marking mutations do not count towards whether or not an individual exceeds Standard and becomes a subtype; subtypes are strictly defined by their unique mutations (i.e. a Dire-sized Glowchu with Other coloration and Iridescence could still be considered a Standard Luminarian).

Original is a sub-variant that classifies the very first Luminarians. They are almost always 100% standard in regards to physical characteristics and their classification refers primarily to their position in the race’s original creation.

• This category consists entirely of Glowchus - Luminarians of the ‘chu line (Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu) - within the timeline of G1 (Generation I), which designates the first few bloodlines of Glowchus.
• Most of the members of this sub-variant are heavily story-based and, in many cases, are very personal and account-locked! Characters in this category are planned to be featured in the official “Radiant Hearts” comic and thus already have established personalities, backstories, etc.
