We all knew it was bound to happen, and geneticists have been predicting it for over a mellenium. Now it's finally happening. Interbreeding between various races in Xanthal, both by normal intercourse and genetic merging, have begun to level the genetic playing field. Xanthalians more and more now vary in size shape and appearance as dominant genes from multiple species assert themselves in our offspring. Elves, Than, Humans, Dragons, Vampires, Demons... The list goes on and on. The phenominal level of interracial acceptance in Xanthal has them all breeding with each other. The genetic playing field is expected to have it's bar raised manyfold over the next few generations, as the best of all worlds become evident in the nation's citizens. "It's very exciting," said Xanthalian dictator Simon Zabertini in an interview regarding the subject, "to think that we will become superior as a race because of the profound acceptance we all have for each other. This is another perfect example of how positive conditions yeild positive results in Xanthal. Although none of us will be around to see the process completed, this is sure to yeild a new race that will be truly Xanthalian. A race that posesses all the best traits from dozens of species. We are truly blessed to have such a diverse and accepting population."

Humans and dragons breeding?

:shock:

But congrats on your diversity.

OOC: Spookistan, you missed the point. Soon there will be no diversity but just one weird race.

OOC: It's more likely to be the worst of all worlds.

sounds like this wierd race will be..


...


much the same as those inbred megalomaniacal EODS dragon-people

OOC: Spookistan, you missed the point. Soon there will be no diversity but just one weird race.((OOC: You'd be one to talk, what with your enormous walrus population. :wink: ))

We wish that we could say such a phenominon was happening in the Resi Corporation, but only catpeople are born of the catperson/human unions that are semi-common in the Corporation.

Elves breeding with Demons, Dragons and Vampires? Bah. No people of mine, these.

Besides, the sheer mechanics of such unions are just mindboggling.

~SiriVampires or humanoid demons, maybe, but elves breeding with dragons is a bit of a stretch both physically and morally. I mean, wouldn't that hurt?

Ack! Austin Powers quotes! Evil!

On a more related note, Krowemoh is proud to boast that it's population is almost 100% neko, or cat-people as you crudely refer to them. There is a very slim number of Hell Bovine, less then five, who are in the Hell Bovine Embassy in Htam. Other then in Embassies, there are no other races within Krowemoh. ^_^

dis iz an outrage.

Our treaty with you only involves Humans and Elves, once they cease to exist as pure species, Article Five will need to be reconsidered.

You allow Vampires to not only exist but to breed.....Disgusting. Catperson and dragon mix....Sounds like Manga.

Mind you, one female walrus liked a certain Wombat news reporter...

Hmm... Elves can crossbreed with humans, it's stated by Tolkien. Asian dragons can occasionally assume human form. Demonspawn exist in most popular western mythology; if the Grigori can do it, so can the opposition. I don't know what the Than are. But Vampires reproduce by sucking blood, not by meiosis! Do you mean that the Vampires vampirise your human-elf-dragon-demon hybrids?

Official statement from the office of official statements:

We call for a cleansing crusade against Xanthal.

But, other than that, we're interested in how exactly you think that a human/dragon union would work.

And any offspring would be sterile.

Do you mean that the Vampires vampirise your human-elf-dragon-demon hybrids?

EVIL !!!!!!!! Let the cleansing begin !!!!!

Hmm ... if it's a European dragon, that's sorta correct.

Horses and donkeys can interbreed to form mules because horses have ... 46 chromosomes, I think it is, and donkeys have 44. Add those up and divide by two and you get 45; in this case the resultant progney happens to be viable, but of course it can't breed, as it has an uneven number of chromosomes.

European dragons probably have some weird number of chromosomes. Not to mention they've likely got the wrong shape/size/temperature genitalia, and a whole host of other post-mating problems to bar the fertilisation of a hybrid embryo thingy.

However, as I've stated, Chinese dragons can take human form. This means that the resultant hybrid could probably produce viable offspring, and will also have cool dragon-morphy powers. Granted, the dragon looks like a mutant snake in an 80's disco, but you can't have everything.

Only so long before we have rains of fire and dogs and cats living together.

Okay, I'm going to address the recurring question here: How does the interbreeding work? Well, as many of you have pointed out, it is difficult or impossible both physically and genetically for many of the races to breed naturally, but breeding of fertile offspring is accomplished with genetic combination devices, which allow for the merging of DNA from any number of species. As so many interspecies relationships exist in Xanthal, wide use of the devices is being made for parents who wish to have a child.

Ahh but the offspring of Elven-Human relations are either Fully Elven or Fully human Noldorian Elves and Sindarin etc ((Tolkien)) cannot produce Half-Elfs. others can through.

((Just wanted to avoid the rush for Half-Noldor.))

Yes, but genetic merging has created hybrid races, and breeding between other species and elves have diversified the genetic pool as well. The Xanthalian population's genome is expected to level to a point where it is possible for all citizens to breed naturally within only 2000 years.

That's just what I'm saying, though. Even making the assumption that it is scientifically possible to cross Elves with demons or vampires... what sort of really weird cultural changes have taken place to make that anything less than... well, absolutely disgusting?

OOC: UFFF, I ignored this guy right on time...

Indeed it does seem... that a major shift in Public perceptions must take place before one could even begin to consider such acts, why to breed with a Dragon even where it physically possible would be, distasteful, where does the attraction come from, maybe a few fetish fans but hardly an entire culture. We are most confused, and maybe a little nervous for we may be seeing an invisible hand at work.

Farseer Council

Menelmacar: We have never considered it disgusting. Our nation was founded on principles of acceptance and equality.

Tor Yvresse: Hardly. Two people fall in love and have a child. What's so strange about that?

OOC: And Aelosia... You ignoring me means that you ought to ignore me; not take every opportunity to insult me. Go away.

Me for myself doesn't have any problems with interspecies contacts (and more)

King Benjamin VI, Emperor of Eras, Grayson and Masada, Protector of the Second Kingdom of Eras, defender of the Empire of Earth II and Großschwert of the Holy Order of Aran'szartuk.

Most of these in my opinion could not happen naturally. But if you can find a true way of doing it, go ahead. Personally, i think you could get a natural half-elf, else what will happen to Tanis???? Anyway, elfs are pretty much like humans....I would say it is possible.

But the others, unless through some weird feat as in dragons, could not naturally.

Kain Irenicus: Duh. Read the first post. Not all of it did happen naturally.

Ha drognan has had Half dragons for some time now... but thats cool that others are getting ideas and stuff. and dragon elves also...(half dragons only elves, not humans)

See, that doesn't seem to make sense. Vampires are... well, undead. And demons are... well, demons. Neither are groups Elvenkind is particularly fond of.

Xanthalans have always amazed Teritorans with their utter lack of culture, a fact they are proud of but this buggles the mind.

King Alern

OOC:And you alrightly know what the Archbishop and the high preist would be saying about the demons and vampries.

See, that doesn't seem to make sense. Vampires are... well, undead. And demons are... well, demons. Neither are groups Elvenkind is particularly fond of.Ah Siri, I thought you of all people would know that just because a race has distaste for another doesn't mean that individuals of those two races can't fall in love. Love is a strange thing, strange and beautiful, and whereever it manifests it should be celebrated, even if it manifests in the middle of an eternal grudge.

Menelmacar: Well, it's never too late to break down the barriers of misunderstanding and distrust. Vampires and Demons have become contributing members of Xanthalian society. It just takes discipline, acceptance, and a willingness to better onesself. Demons let out their violent instinct on holograms, Vampires are given replicated blood to drink. By identifying the problems that normally keep such creatures removed from society, we have been able to address them in healthy ways and make Xanthal a better place for everyone.

Teritora: This is a part of our culture. It's just very different from most.

The Resi Corporation: Absolutely correct. No use in repeating the whole Romeo and Juliet scene by placing cultural barriers between lovers.
