    It would have to exist as an outlier.

    In what established viera lore we have... The females and males live entirely separate until it's mating time, and then they part ways again. When males reach adulthood, they are taken as wards by the older males.

    Yeah. Outlier is kind of the name of the game for OCs, is what I’m saying.

    Even so, I could think of situations in which “my father taught me to hunt” could be true for a viera OC while keeping with lore. It could be an adoptive situation in which the viera in question was raised by a different race entirely and learned it from them. How long does mating time last? Do the male viera in question not speak to anyone, mate, grab the boys, and rush off into the night? Do they mate with the same people every time, or just whoever? A mix? Do they not know who their children are? Do they not spend time with them when they do come back for mating season? Are viera children completely barred from knowing or ever seeing their fathers? Could the OC be trans?

    This is getting off topic, but like if you’re gonna take a pot shot at someone’s OC as an example of “cba to learn lore” , it’s probably important to understand the nature of OCs and that the lore is intentionally vague to allow for outliers.
