Lore-ish thoughts about Auri descendance/lineage

[Astralia]

Hello !
I don't know if there is a post already about this and I'm a bit lazy to search in this ginormous forum so I'm making a new thread for this !

As stated in the title, I have thoughts about the descendance of Auri and wanted to have your opinion about this as well, so let's start !

When I speak about descendance is more about the physical features of the children. Like, I suppose Auri reproduce like every other races, and when giving birth to a child, what shape the child's horns will have, like can it be a mix of those of the two parents or only the same form as the mother's or the father's, or can they even be of a different shape?
So this thought goes the same for the scales on the body and the shape of the tail as well.

Moreover, we can legitimately speak about mixed couples as well, like Hyurs x Aura, Elezen x Hyurs, ...
In the case of Hyurs x Elezen for example, the child can be taller and maybe have demi-elf ears and will be half-hyur/half-elezen, however, in the case of Hyurs x Aura for example, what will it be?
I don't think the descendance can have both human hears and horn though may be born with horns but no tail for example.
Concerning the horns, if one of the parents is an Hyur, does the horns will automatically have the same shape as those of the Aura parent, or can they be of different shape as well?
Of course my question goes for the shape of the tail as well ! (Like same tail shape, or different, so in the end the child could be born purely hyur, purely aura, or a mix with for example horns but no tail, tail but no horns, scales or no scales as well..)

Maybe I'm giving too much concern about this but this is something I'm very interested in for my rp, so I'd like to have your thoughts about this as well, thanks in advance !

Quest in Ruby Sea talked about some old story/legend-like about au'ra female and hyur male having kid together. I think they mentioned the kid being basically just au'ra, but with less scales. So, sounds like au'ra mother + non-au'ra father at least results to horns.

Please correct if I am just talking out of my bum. I am pretty sure the quest was part of Ruby Princess questline.

The lore behind race hybrids isn't terribly consistent as both Arenvald and Severa are half-Garlean on their father's side, but the latter has a third eye while the former doesn't.

There's also just not many of them in general with Hilda, the aforementioned two, and the Au Ra from that legend being the only ones mentioned/present.

Ramza and Alma are also both half Garlean/half hyur. There's a half hume/half elf baby in the First but I don't think that baby had any special model.

Actually, I believe Arenvald did have the third eye too, I did the MSQ again recently and he said that when her third eye appeared, her mother couldn't bear with it and tried to remove it herself with a knife or sthg like that, he then got a scar and wear that tattoo just to hide this.

Whereas fo Ramza we do not really know if he has the third eye due to the haircut hiding it very well, however Jenomis has the third eye so we can't say for sure half-garleans all have the third eye or not.

I dont think Au Ra hybrids are possible (for the most part). Maybe some minor changes in the scales color, shorter tail, smaller height or just a bit less scales. But nothing really extraordinary. I think its pretty straight forward.

But hey, maybe its time to introduce a new race: The Lala Ra (Lalafell x Au Ra) : D

I want to believe and I do believe mixed couples (or hybrid as you call them) are possible, like Aura x Hyurs cause they're quite similar, or even Elezen x Aura and at least reproduction between them would work. On the other side I don't believe reproduction would be possible between two races that are too different physically like Lalafell x Hyurs or Lalafell x Hrothgar !
Also there's one thing to distinguish, this does not prevent two persons to fall in love, even if they're from different races and even if they know they can't have children, I'm only speaking here about mixed couples I believe reproduction would be possible

Elezen are pretty tall. Maybe female Elezen and male Au Ra... .

But female Au Ra are shorter than female Hyurs. It may be possible to have a male Lalafell x female Au Ra couple >: D

I guess the line for compatibility between races is Hyur. Everything taller than a Hyur may fit for male Au Ra. Everything below for female Au Ra.







I never noticed, that Au Ra males are the 2nd tallest, while females are the 2nd shortest race... O_O

Back when Arenvald was written, it was said by multiple characters that only purebloods get the third eye. Arenvald himself said that his mother went crazy and thought there was a third eye growing when there wasn't. Severa is a recent shake-up to the canon. She's half-Garlean from her father's side but she has a black third eye, and is the only character in the game with a black third eye.

We know Ramza doesn't have a third eye because the game model data. And Jenomis is a pureblood Garlean so he has a normal third eye. Not all pureblood Garleans use the elezen body. Off the top of my head, Midas, Jenomis, and a dancer on the theater airship straight up use midlander hyur bodies with a third eye pasted on while Cid has a unique body pasted on top of a midlander skeleton so he's just as short as midlanders and has their emotes.

Au Ra reproduce like any other humanoid mammals. Maybe with other species, because the height differences between male and female are pretty big. Or the male must be veeeeery carefull xD

I believe the horns will depend on the gender and it will get the same shape of the mother or father (but just shorter of course). Same goes for the scales and tail of course.

I dont think Au Ra hybrids are possible (for the most part). Maybe some minor changes in the scales color, shorter tail, smaller height or just a bit less scales. But nothing really extraordinary. I think its pretty straight forward.

BTW:

The plural of Au Ra is Au Ra. Not Au Ri.
Auri is the adjective.

2. Hyur is Hyuran. Lalafell is Lalafellin. What on Earth Hydaelyn is the adjectival form of Au Ra?
This one's a little special. Instead of just tacking an 'n' to the end of Ra, the term takes on a slight metamorphosis. Au Ra -> Auri (pronounced Ow-ree, rhymes with Maori). Example: "An Auri warrior can eat a whole turkey in a single sitting."

And what makes me very angry is "Au'ra". Apostrophes are Miqo'te-only!
