Dralasites the sexiest race

<p>In the description of Dralasites it says &quot;All Dralasites go through male, female and nuetral stages during their lives (these stages can be controlled with medicines). Males release spores into the air, which drift until they become attached to a female. A young Dralasite then sprouts from its mother, until it matures and drops off.&quot;</p><p>As a younger person I thought this was an interesting sidenote to the clowns of the Frontier. Having learned alot since then I now see how this simple statement tells us so much about Dralasites and really should change how they are played.</p><p>Start with &quot;All Dralasites go through male, female and nuetral stages&quot;. It does not say they bounce around and pick stages willy nilly. It gives an exact order and one that makes sense biologically. All Dralasites are born male. They remain male until they reach an age and/or maturity that changes them to female. Once old age begins to settle in they lose the reproductive capability and become nuetral. This makes a great deal of sense since young, strong Dralasites are available for hard work and defense until they reach a childbearing age. By this time they have developed the maturity and knowledge to allow them to successfully raise a child. As they age and have the problems of old age child bearing is removed.</p><p>The medicines mentioned could be used to bring on the occurence of a sex change or to retard it. Maybe to switch from one to another but that would be similar to a transgender human who has to take hormones and require daily doses.</p><p>Some implications of this is that most of the positions of power in Dralasite society would be held by those in the female stage. Young enough to have the energy to do it and old enough to have the wisdom to do it. Also the saying &quot;Stop acting like a male&quot; in Dralasite society would be similar to saying &quot;Stop acting like a baby&quot; in Human society.</p><p>To be honest alot of my perceptions do come from the Wiccan Maiden/Mother/Crone belief which I think really applies well to Dralasites.</p>
