Shadre
Shadre is the 5th planet of the Aucyon system. It is an habitable rocky planet with a diameter of 12,227 km (7,597.51 miles). It has an atmosphere mainly composed by nitrogen and oxygen and the surface is covered by large water bodies and several land masses.
Shadre has two moons: Ikray and Keon.
This planet is inhabited by a sapient anthropomorphic race, the Shadresapiens Polymorpha. It originated in Teria and stayed in that continent for several millennia, until it rapidly expanded through the world.
To put it in perspective, the Shadreics are currently in a fairly advanced state when it comes to geopolitis, technology, and society matters when compared to the real world.
There’s 19 different nations in Shadre, each of them with his own characteristics, but all of them speaking the same language (although, most of them have accent variations.)
In Echoes from Valeth, we’ve already visited (briefly) Jardovia and Albanir, and we’re currently in Helion.
The Shadreics
The Shadreics are an intelligent sentient species that originated on Teria long time ago. At the moment, it hasn’t been discovered how the Shadreic species originated. This is a hot topic when it comes to science in the current time.
Unlike their feral counterparts, the most striking characteristic of this species is the huge genetic variety among members.
Canids, felines, equines, rodents, avians… The morphology of the Shadreics is truly diverse. Each morph has his own set of characteristics. For example, usually horse morphs are tall and fairly strong, while fox morphs are average or even short in size and very agile.
Each morph is usually associated to one or more behavioral traits. For example, it is said that some morphs like gryphons and equines are a bit narcissistic in nature, rodents are very thrifty, etc. But of course, this isn’t always the case!
And if they’re all different morphs, how do they make pups? Do these morphs only reproduce among themselves? Not necessarily! They’re still members of the same species! All morphs can make babies between them. This means a dragon can have a baby with a wolf, no problem.
How does it work, you say?
Easy.
Using the last example, a pup born from the union of a dragon and a wolf would result in:
- Either dragon or wolf: 90%
- Minor hybridization: 9.4%
- Medium hybridization: 0.4%
- High hybridization: 0.2%
Yes, hybrids can also make babies! But the resulting offspring of a hybrid morph is subject to the same rules. This means that if a dragon-wolf hybrid has some sexy time with a tiger, only his dragon or wolf part will join the part of the tiger.
