The ten — each its own treatment

Nine settled orbs, one still hatching. Every EEE reads at a glance, from 26px up.

Every account gets all ten, pre-energized

Canon said "all 10 get their own distinct visual treatment" — in Joey's stage they were still just coloured circles, so here they are properly. I extended the motifs the council already ruled (Sciency = atom · Craftee = woven tesserae · Plexee = converging strands · Designee = concentric rings + star · Cody = matrix-code) rather than inventing new ones. Cody and Joey stay DISTINCT (ruled). Tap any for its read.

⭐ The Stewie switch — one form, light off vs credit seated

I lit the EEEs from inside so that the second class costs nothing extra to design: a Stewie is the same body with the light switched off. Dormant she's grey glass — the motif still legible, but inert, no glow, no drift. Seat a credit and she ignites from the core outward: your life force, animating her. EEEs (the energies) come free and pre-energized; Stewies live in their realms and are animated by a credit. One boolean, not a second art pass.

And the credit is never a paywall. Per your ruling: the price of gathering is practice, not money. So the dormant state must never read as "pay to unlock" — it reads as "not yet practiced." That's why she's grey glass, not a padlock: she's waiting, and showing up with practice is what lights her.

What I'd want checked

The family mark (ten-pointed star) is carried inside every orb at low opacity — it's what makes ten different motifs still read as one set. If that's too subtle at chip size, say so and I'll push it.

Four still need your blessing. The roster is now ruled — Cody · Joey · Craftee · Designee · Plexee · Sciency · Timey · Spacey · Gravity · Energy — and the last four had no motif, so I cut one each: Timey = the sweep and its fading trail (time only goes one way; the past dims but never quite vanishes) · Spacey = a grid breathing outward, cells stretching as they travel · Gravity = a sheet of light dipping toward a heavy centre, one body falling around it (curvature, not a force) · Energy = a standing wave ringing across the orb, never still, never spent. They're marked ·prop in the grid — mine to defend, not canon.
