The '''Yalaerin''' are a Near-Human species native to [[Yalae Prime]] in the [[Yaronite Galaxy]]. Distinguished by enlarged craniums, slit-shaped ears, and small eyes, the Yalaerin became one of Galaxa’s most intellectually advanced civilizations. Their mastery of [[Magicka]] allowed them to develop the [[Sigil Drive]], achieving FTL travel within fifty years of entering space. | |||
Despite their brilliance, the Yalaerin are notorious for extreme genetic engineering and reproductive stratification, resulting in the emergence of the [[Laymonian]], [[Dakmonian]], and eventually [[High Yalaerin]] subpopulations. | |||
== Biology == | |||
Yalaerin possess dense neural lattices optimized for Magicka control and abstract cognition. Their slit ears provide fine acoustic sensitivity, while their small eyes reduce glare under Yalae Prime’s reflective skies. | |||
Males average '''187 cm''' and females '''173 cm'''. Post-Regenesis lineage—[[High Yalaerin]]—exhibit altered proportions and increased height. | |||
=== Genetic Basis of Skin Color === | |||
Yalaerin pigmentation derives from alleles located on the **X chromosome**: | |||
* '''Xᴾ''' — pale-skin recessive | |||
* '''Xᴰ''' — dark-skin dominant | |||
* '''Yᴰ''' — expresses only dark-skin trait | |||
Pale-skinned males cannot occur naturally due to the Y chromosome’s fixed dark-skin allele. This biological constraint shaped their societal divisions. | |||
== Racial Divergence == | |||
Early in their expansion, Yalaerin contacted the pale-skinned [[Nordite]] humans. This ignited an aesthetic obsession among Yalaerin males for pale complexions. Reproductive choice rapidly skewed toward pale-allele females, triggering: | |||
* exclusion of dark-skin females | |||
* segregation of dark-allele males | |||
* cultural idealization of pale females | |||
This selective pressure fractured the species into: | |||
* '''[[Dakmonian]]''' — dominant-allele, darker-skinned lineage | |||
* '''[[Laymonian]]''' — recessive-allele, pale-skinned lineage | |||
== The Regenesis and the Rise of the High Yalaerin == | |||
With advanced gene-splicing, the Yalaerin initiated the '''[[Regenesis (Yalaerin)|Regenesis]]''', a complete reconstruction of their genome. | |||
The result was the '''[[High Yalaerin]]''', engineered for: | |||
* optimized Magicka capacity | |||
* stable pale-toned aesthetics | |||
* reduced sexual dimorphism | |||
* tempered aggression and mating violence | |||
* controlled reproductive physiology | |||
The High Yalaerin became the ruling caste, overshadowing all precursor populations. | |||
== Hybrids and Nokayalae == | |||
Beyond the empire, High Yalaerin freely interbreed with [[Lekaran]], [[Nordite]], [[Telerian]], and various Near-Human species. Their offspring are known as: | |||
* '''[[Neo Yalaerin]]''' — neutral term | |||
* '''[[Nokayalae]]''' — derogatory, meaning “Not of Yalae” | |||
The most stigmatized hybrids are: | |||
* '''[[Nokadakmonian]]''' — High Yalaerin + Dakmonian | |||
Imperial doctrine labels them “Purity fettered by Darkness,” and they are executed on sight within Yalaerin space. | |||
== Culture and Society == | |||
Yalaerin culture venerates intellect, Magicka prowess, and engineered perfection. Their civilization is infamous for centuries of tightly controlled breeding programs that shaped every layer of society. | |||
=== Breeding Programs === | |||
Historic systems regulated: | |||
* mating based on pigment alleles | |||
* Magicka aptitude scoring | |||
* segregation of Dakmonian males | |||
* selective elevation of Laymonian females | |||
Although officially disbanded after the Regenesis, these practices subtly persist. | |||
=== Technology === | |||
Yalaerin prioritize Magicka over traditional weaponry. Their arsenal consists mainly of: | |||
* [[Ray Gun|Ray Guns]] | |||
* [[Vibroweapon|Vibroweapons]] | |||
While technologically mediocre in warfare, their mastery of the [[Sigil Drive]] places them among the elites of FTL travel. | |||
