Please look forward to it.

So your character is a new mount? Do we get to ride you, then? >>

Quote:Just keep in mind that between societal pressures and biological challenges, crossbreeds are rare, so filling all eight of your character slots on the server with crossbreed characters is ill-advised.

This. In this instance one is unique, eight is silly, even by my liking. At juncture we also have no idea if crossbreeds are sterile, as there's been no official lore post on it, so it's entirely possible you could even have something in your back line. Or maybe you don't even play a crossbreed. Maybe your character has blood of something else in their ancestry and instead of being born a halfblood, they're born from two of the same race parents but show traits of an ancestor; an atavism. Maybe it's small, like the Miqo'te eyes, or if a Lala, maybe they're a little taller than they should be. Maybe your Midlander has a slightly flatter face form Roe somewhere in the family line. My Lalafell has some Hyuran blood way back in his line, and because of that he's a few inches taller than the max Lalafell height from that particular genetic trait. (He's 3'5"). Little things like that add something unique as well.

For now, we can assume they are or are not sterile because we have no idea. We only have 'real world' examples to go off of, and a lot of people forget. It's not the real world. Normal humans can harness Aether to do all sorts of Shonen anime things, Marauder training has you cutting a boulder in half with an axe, and so on. We can't always apply our real world logic to a fantasy world. Also, it's clear they aren't truly different species in most cases. Miqo'te are just hyur with cat ears who evolved that way, as I recall, so in a sense it's similar to Star Wars 'near human' races who can crossbreed, though rarely in a lot of cases.

So just go with your ideas, and like Faye says. If they don't like it, it's their choice to not acknowledge it. There are people who will, and what makes an RP community great is its diversity.

Inter-species Procreation.
