Snuggles for the Whole Family (WIP)
Didn't get nearly as much work as I wanted to on this during my days off this week but, for what little I did do I love it.
This is set in the future, Levi and Fahroe are both in their mid 40's (and still quite young) after settling down, financially stable and ready to start a family, they take a few visits to their doctors to prepare for having a child... But not just any child; a hybrid. Normally such a thing is impossible, chromosomes don't match up, and differing genes and all that; but thru the wonders of medical science, genetic sequencing blah blah blah there are infact methods to get Levi's DNA to mesh with Fahroe's and produce viable offspring. The result? This one egg... sniffle
Work in progress! I'm getting slammed this week with work so I won't be able to work on it for a short while, but boy do I want to finish this!
Levi, Fahroe, and their unhatched child are mine.
Please DO NOT Reupload my art to other art sides, Herpy, E6, I don't care, if I wanted it there I'd post it myself.

This is making me imagine their child becoming a catalyst for a whole new species to come into being as the methods that helped facilitate the child enables it to hybridize with both species freely, creating a population of this hybrid all it's own over the next several decades/centuries.
Its possible and it may be needed, after an extinction event on their homeworld, the surviving spacefaring races on their primary colony are spread pretty thin, down from 10 billion to little over 1 billion, divided unequally between 4 species that normally cant intermingle all that well. Some hybrids exist naturally between the other 3 types but that's because their anatomy is more agreeable; 4 legs, 2 wings. The wyverns always have been a special case, completely unable to mix with the other races.
Much as it is a child born of love between husband and wife; it is also a bit of a desperate bid for survival of the civilization. They don't really have the luxury of "preserving their individual 4 species" and are just trying to keep society as a whole alive.

Ooh, interesting. So there is a lot more lore behind this one than I anticipated! That's actually an interesting dynamic, and could make for some interesting stories to explore raising a child that is fundamentally different from you for a somewhat ironic survival of their races.
I wonder if it would be bittersweet in any way, like once the realization hits it could give a feel that they are at the end of an age.

That realization hit 30 years prior to this when Leviticus as a starfleet cadet watched firsthand from the window in bitter horror as asteroids mercilessly pummeled their homeworld into a ball of lava. The spaceport he was on in orbit took a direct hit, causing all modules to fly off without power. He survived for 3 weeks in zero-g with his only source of light being a dull orange of his now Molten Homeworld shining through the windows of the cadets quarters, mess hall and museum. They only lived because of him getting this crazy last-ditch idea to jury-rig one of the museum ships that was over a hundred years old for life support until he and several others were rescued and brought to the surviving colony on the 2nd planet in their home system. It took a decade of therapy just to get him to smile again. And then he met his wife, and here we are 20 years later.

Hah, no worries! I always do that myself. Ask me to explain some aspect of my lore and I can go on long enough that I could probably exceed character limit on FA, heh. Not a lot of my world is developed so far, at least it doesn't feel full to me, but what I have thought through tends to have a lot of complex thought in it as I try to explain exactly how I am envisioning each thing to work. I honestly think the explanation of my 'sona on my ref page here is currently the shortest and most concise explanations of his background and role I've ever come up with.
Also Edit: Frankly I thought I responded to this, but apparently not.

Lore building is great fun and easy to get lost in, thats for sure. Especially when you have a problem, the above issue with cross-species couples and offspring. You know what you want, and to solve your problem you got to do some serious thinking. This isnt the first major hurdle Ive tackled in lore building; how FTL works was a big one, shields, the planetary extiction event; they've all been major points to overcome and I've had a great time doing it and sharing with others
My big thing to overcome is my magic system. I want it to be unique and have clear defined rules and limitations that's unique to each species I create, the current species of dragons being at the forefront. Multi-world, "multiverse" style world that, once I'm done with my current dragon's world, gives me the freedom to make another with a whole different species of dragon that might have no connection to "magic" at all, allowing me to explore an entirely different dynamic while still being dragon focused and not breaking my original species.
You'll see me avoid using the word magic, because for how it works for me, it's not that there's a singular force, but what humans commonly would define as "magic" is simply an intrinsic ability to manipulate the core fundamentals of the physical, and sometimes non physical, realm.

Magic's always going to be a fun one, I wish ya luck in that regard! As a fluffderg with no magical capability whatsoever, not even elemental breath, I wholeheartedly support dragons without magic :P Though... I do kinda cheat and compensate with space age tech... hmm....
Thanks! I think the hardest part is that I want a, slightly altered, version of our Earth to exist within this universe, so I have to explain the existence of uber-powerful beings while at the same time allowing for why Earth has had a past that is so much more mundane the last few centuries at least. I have to explain how this kind of power can exist without humanity discovering evidence of it with scientific equipment found in the 21st century. In this altered version, the legends of dragons that have circled about for millennia came from interactions with actual dragons that have long since left the world/planet.
