As the topic says, here you can ask me questions about my conpeople and I shall answer them to the best of my ability.

(from the provisional ZBB)

Okay, from that ZBB thread....ugh. There are so many things wrong with this conspecies I don't even know where to begin.

Maybe with the fact that they're seem to basically be the embodiement of your own sexual fantasies. All-female, they reproduce by scissoring, and the average bust size is 34D (I'm not even getting into the sheer illogicality of a non-human species having breasts)? Jesus christ. And they're elves. Elves. And they're stuck up and "SO MUCH BETTER THAN US PATHETIC, HEDONISTIC HUMANS".

Wow...this...this is bad. Really bad. I hope these are a joke.

It's perfectly logical for a species to have breasts if they feed their young by producing milk through them: Though specific to mammals on earth, if they're humanoid it's perfectly reasonable that they also evolved milk production. You might as well attack their bipedalism or their thumbs. The problem isn't that the safir are "humans + a few twists", it's that the "twists", and indeed, all aspects of their culture, seem to be present solely for author appeal. (See: Their baseball obsession.)

And to be fair, their large average bust size could easily be handwaved as sexual selection. In fact, this has already been happening in humans for quite some time: Human breasts are much larger in proportion to our body size than that of most other mammals, and are permanently enlarged.

Finally, it's not like author appeal is some sort of unforgivable offense so long as it's in light doses: What do you think my dragons are polyandrous for? Mmm... lots of cute shota husbands...

Mithe are humanoids who turn into dragons (or rather, dragons who turn into humanoids: When they hatch from their eggs they come out as dragons and learn to take their humanoid form later). Grey skin, black hair, golden eyes with cat-like slits for irises, pointy tails, sharp teeth (with fangs), and their adult form looks like a 10-12 year old human in terms of proportions. My intention was to make them cute, but in a creepy, unsettling way that invokes the uncanny valley.

Hm. I never really was one for non-human conspeices.


Even Techarians are still 99% human, though different enough to be considered a different species, Homo Sapiens Techarius (Bullshit-Latin, aw yeah), though HSS and HST can still interbreed.

Me neither. Their humanoid form exists so I don't have to bother with solving the problems that come with designing a non-human society. Plus, shota harems!

EDIT: I have a question for Kets: Are they vegetarians?

It was an example. The U.S. is also averaged at D, and Russia and Scandinavia D+ (bad for a grade, great for a breast size)

My point is, out of everything, that is the least outlandish if outlandish at all.

Because they need to attract people to stay in Britain somehow. Their food sure ain't doing it...

That's not a question.

Due to an accident involving teleportation, they were dropped in upon by a group of Earthicans at a time when none of the other major sports (soccer, American football, basketball, hockey) had really come around.

Some are, but it's not common.

What about their "one with nature" thing? How do they justify eating meat while condemning american culture for "passive destruction of the natural world?"

EDIT: Also, what are their favorite kinds of meat?
