Then the question is just how much of something someone gets. If it's a male miqo'te and a female au ra.... They're an Au ra with miqo'te ears?... or tail?... or... ._. I don't really know how to go about this lol. Most other races get away with the ear thing or something but in situations like this, I wonder what to do.(07-12-2017, 10:30 AM)Valic Wrote: Damn q.q... and on another note, I know it's been asked a ton before but I was wondering if there's yet to be any clarity on the concept of cross breeding races. Like an Au Ra with a Miqo'te or a Roe with an Elezen... what is the outcome of birth between mixed races?
I don't quite remember where I heard this or if it was documented somewhere or just pure fanon... but what I recall hearing is that the "base" race of the crossbreed is that of the mother, with some traits inherited from the father's side.
So a M Roe/F Elezen offspring would look mostly like an Elezen, except possibly more stocky and/or having some Roegadyn features. And, vice versa, a M Elezen/F Roe child would be mostly Roe but possibly ganglier and/or having features like a longer neck or slightly pointed ears.
Something to that effect, anyway.
Yeah, I think when you add Miqo'te and Au Ra to the mix is when things start becoming more questionable.
From my point of view? If the mother is an Au Ra, they are going to have horns and scales... with the Miqo'te traits that get past along being lesser things. Their eyes or their fangs, maybe facial markings. Perhaps, to the extreme, maybe they DO have a light layer of fuzz on their tails and/or horns.
Conversely, a Miqo'te mother would mean mostly Miqo'te features. Maybe they get the limbal rings? Maybe their ears and tails are less furry, possibly with some scaling here and there?
Really, I think the real answer is that we won't really know unless SE provides a child of such a union. Remember, the only crossbreeds we've seen so far have been Elezen/Hyur and - if I recall correctly - a crossing of the two clans of Miqo'te. We haven't seen several of the potential combinations. Miqo'te crossed with anything other than another Miqo'te, Au Ra with anything else, and the ever mind-bending idea of a Lalafell and a Roe. So all we're left with is personal guesswork on how the genetics would work out, perhaps tempered somewhat by what we know of actual genetics.
