I have nothing of value to add to this conversation, other than I'd love to see someone RP a Nuhn (or former) with this as part of their background.
"So, what happened when you finally won, and became Nuhn?"
"I ate his children. All of them."
"No seriously..."
*dead serious stare*
I had actually planed on something similar to this in my BG. My friends and I had discussed the similarities between the Seekers of the Sun and a lion Pride for a while now but always had trouble bridging the genetics issue. thank you for this Science bomb, it really helps pull everything together!
