So I Went Crazy Over Trying To Develop This Alien Species For A Story And At Some Point I Relaised I

So I went crazy over trying to develop this alien species for a story and at some point I relaised I have no idea how these guys reproduce.

Like at all

So I decided to try and look into and start.

Originally i considered making them do it the lizard way, self reproducing asexually.

But then someone in my circle showed me some fics they wrote for their characters and made me think that the lizard way was too easy.

No I needed something else.

So some context,

These bastards have the following concept art:

There is more but these are some attempts to try and place an image on paper and fail in a few different places.

The top four are the most recently and best done.

These guys live in a society that places roles on what you can give.

Knowledge? Skills? Products? Marketing? Music? Art?

Your value is through what you give and your role.

These guys don’t place anything on gender or sex in terms of roles because it would take from the value they already give in a sense.

Children are also raised by a select group of adults trained and equipped for the role and not the biological parents.

Children are seen as valuable however and due to the speices long lives there is a lot to factor into how and why they reproduce.

Originally I tried to start on how would attraction work for them

For us it’s boobs, penises, hair, body shape ect.

I won’t lie I just decided to give up early in the process cuz I didn’t really vibe with what I ended up with.

Next I decided how the fuck do we do the deed here, like is it dependant on genders? On parents what are we doing.

Hence some cursed research on birds, ducks(especially ducks I need eye bleach from the amount of animal dick I’ve seen for this), frogs and reptiles.

This lead me to bounce around and decide there is 4 main sexes for these guys.

I have no idea how the dna determine it yet other than - skin dye.

Now before you wag your finger let me present a chart:

So here we can see these guys have 4 types of patterns showing on the skin:

- star,

Where the core would be as well as what spirt, deity would make a contract if they wish

- cloud

Where the magic pattern focused when you where ‘born’

- blank

Nothing visible

-bones

A pattern of where your ribs may be as well as some extra stuff

So the dye is linked to what sex you are perceived as it’s consistent in comparison

Additionally the skin dye is linked to the sex genetics.

As you can see in the concept art no one has visible private parts.

This is on purpose and I decided to ignore the idea

In short I don’t want to draw cocks and made it canon but wasn’t sure if I wanted to complete remove the idea of penis in reproduction so ended up looking into hodge, monkeys and evetually birds and ducks in terms of how the fuck gentians work

(I need eye bleach for the amount of dicks I had to suffer through)

All because I rembered humans are one of the few creatures where the male part just hangs there in the open.

I still hate this process but alas we keep going

Since I decided going as inhuman like as possible was the goal

With my four placeholder names: g,f,h,m I made a chart of reproduction between them

At this point I keep tuning into two issues:

1. How the hell does the genetics work (especially if we add the possibility of intersex and ect)

2. What parts do they use? Like legit?

Currently this is where I got to so I hope my suffering was intresting at least
