About Sourcian Reproduction.

No data

Typically, a Sourcian is able to normally reproduce via the exchange of genetic material reproduction with another Sourcian or via asexual reproduction via self-mitosis, though the off-spring is notable of a smaller mass in comparison to the parent.

Though not strictly reproduction, Sourcians are also capable of infusing themselves with the macroscopic body of another race, very gradually replacing organs and cells to create a hybrid Sourcian.

In the case of an outside race, minds are transfered through a sacred ceremony known as “the conversion”.

Sourcian are normally able to reproduce via the production of new Modus and material. However, the importation of existing minds from other races is preferred to the creation of blank or copied minds through a ceremony known as “the conversion”.

The conversion is considered deeply sacred and is very rarely spoken of among outsiders unless there is emotional intimacy and trust between the Sourcian in question and the outsider. The ceremony involves the casting away of the original body and conversion of the mind and in many cases, then a return to the body to occupy it as a hybrid Sourcian.

Offspring are often blind and feel only by changes in air-pressure and sound and static changes in the air, a talent many lose as they grow older. Often, they inherit similar psychological traits from their parents though those who are not parented do not progress in intelligence beyond that of large animals and may never learn to communicate (known as Yakuppka or “the forgotten”).

Parent and child are very intimate on a one to one basis as both a teacher, a parent and in many cases, a lover. During this time, they will teach their offspring of the world around them, how to adapt and how to love both physically and emotionally.

This trained behavior is a great influence in the lack of aggressive action Sourcian make. Some war-time types do not go through this stage, to preserve their tenacity.

A “child” Sourcian is approximately 1/3rd the size of an adult Sourcian's mass though an adult can easily masquerade as a youngling by compacting themselves and becoming denser although their original weight does not change.

Aexalli have an infamously long youngling stage and live substantially longer than their Maesus brethren.
