So a person here and a couple people on the discord servers made a comment about the Imuorl doodle being something like who Imua and Forls donked out and I figured it would be a fun brainstorm to think of what Imua and Forls canonical kid (made'n laid'n chapter 4 and its long tail component) would look like as the influence on a dreks offspring are a bit more complicated than a clean mix!

as its a fun point to converse off of as there are 3 factors that are going to influence how a kid comes out

1) Breed, as breeds are environmental, not genetic and those influence how a dreks biology will be in a lot of ways. Best seen of course with scale color Forl is blue, Imuas purple, if they were a temperate drek maybe they would match that but instead they're more of an arid teal. Arid drekir don't get to be blue or deep purple alas

2) Imuas and Forls genes as drekir are still genetic passdown types of hobbyists

So a bit of Imuas head and face thats a bit more squared out like Forls with the short fur like Imua, a bit droopier like forls! Overall tall like Forl, but scrawny like Imua a bit of the mix, with their eye color being something between Forls orange and Imuas green even if more green.

3) Culture! This drek would have grown up as an offspring den of the Star den broncens in the larger clan and, upon reaching adulthood decades later prolly would do as most broncens do which is inherit one of the older dens. Probably not Middleton as that den was wiped out in 36PA.

Or they may have built a new den compound regardless,

This drek would have grown up as a broncen with no idea (nor real interest) in who their parents were. It's not a drek thing to care about parents or vice versa. So they have all the cultural traits, lots've copper'n thir tanned hides that are typical of broncens in the Awakening. Though being a drek of the late 3rd generation of drekir (arguably even the early 4th generation) they are kinda in a transitiionary point. Arguably closing in on when stallurgy becomes more well known in the valley which leads to a technological transition to manametals and spellithics. So perhaps in 9 years they will see a whole change in the local technology and perhaps lifestyle.

As for a few basic ideas

Garyud would be a young drek of the late mid awakening who would be well regarded in his den as being a keen forager with a passion for identifying plants, particularly heading up north of the valley to hunt different plants for medicinal and culinary purposes that would be respected in his den, often supporting the den in the wider political landscape via his services in alchemical medicines in the clan and kinda becoming a clan doctor in a sense with their den coming to be situated a bit to the north of the valley and a part of the broader Northern clan (Star, Middleton, Eagle)

Garyuds a bit of a sass who knows when to class but may not take criticism in the best of ways when called out. Noones perfect. But overall they are a well meaning, pretty chill member of Broncen society, noone too crazy and is known to a bit hyperfocused on their plants but sweet and receptive to others. They try and help as much as possible, even if they make it feel like it's their way or the highway.


anywho procrastination is over back to work
