#astran

Once again thanks for asking! :D

((Have a look at what Vaesa looked like while still known as the Radiance, before she lost her power!))

((Text based this time, because it’d just be Azmodeus talking)) Azmodeus: He’d have to be in heat for that. While I function very differently from a normal Dreameater, I do carry one thing in common; I don’t have heat cycles, it seems I’m fertile any time. I have energy, plenty of it, due to being an Astran. That, and little Nava is still far too young for Daemarus to even be able to have another nymph of his own. He wouldn’t even be able to go into heat again until she’s mature enough to go off on her own. Even then, with his age, the heat that produced her was probably the last one he’ll have. Even if he were to go into heat somehow upon her reaching maturity and finding her own territory as Dravhokonus do instinctively, protective measures would be put into place. Carrying her was rough on him. I know. I was there when he dreamed helping him wherever I could. He was exhausted, sick, laying the egg was even worse. With Daemarus’ advanced age, carrying an egg could potentially be deadly for him. When Dravhokonus get to his age, they are no longer able to carry eggs safely so their female side shuts down while their male side remains fertile because that doesn’t take nearly as many resources and isn’t as hard on their body. So, no. There’s absolutely no chance for Daemarus to have an egg. He hasn’t had a heat since Nava was born, and we both think he’s likely never having one again.

Azmodeus: A Dravhokonus can only become gravid when they come into heat… and that happens quite rarely. Even if Daemarus goes into heat again, it’ll be a very long time from now. Even then, a Dravhokonus can only become gravid from another of their own kind. I believe, due to a hormone, I think? I do suppose, being an Astran, I could likely replicate that hormone, but being gravid with little Nava here was very rough on him. I would not want to risk his health for us to have a child. As for myself becoming gravid from him… Well, as a true Astran, and not an Ascended.. Meaning I was not born a mortal, I would reproduce with another Astran using a transfer of energy, and said energy being held within and nurtured. Birthing is not done through an egg; but rather through a separation of energies. As such, our body systems are quite different.  We are both content with baby Nava here, of course. Isn’t she just the cutest little thing? Well I do suppose little is relative. A Dravhokonus egg is laid in their true form, and their young remain in their true form until they get old enough to learn how to shift. I've decided that I am the step mom! ((As a note - Astrans are my Universe’s “Higher Beings”, and as close to “Gods” as one can get. This concept is from my original universe and fit very well with the Shadow of Doubt AU. Astrans, like gods, do not die of age. They can, however, become ill or be killed, though it takes a lot to kill one and they can recover from heavily bodily damage given a little time to recover. They are made up of energy with their Core, or the very center of their being, holding it all together. They tend to settle on an appearance once they find their Aspect (The thing they embody/represent), and this appearance passes on to any offspring they may have. Astrans tend to go where they are needed, and embody an aspect that is necessary in their region. They do tend to group up in pantheons, though various pantheons have different rules and workings.  Ascended are very similar to Astrans. They, however, are not born as an Astran, but rather a mortal, and through some great deed or intense work, ascend to become like an Astran themself. Astrans are based on an ooooold concept (As in. 12-13 years old) I had for gods and deities, being recycled into something that better fits my original setting and my AU setting as well.))
