Just a couple of questions so I don't eff up my character bio, and just for general knowledge!

1. What is the general lifespan of a Serra? Is it roughly equivalent to humans? Meaning, if my character had had a child at 21, say, would that be considered outlandishly old/young/or just about average?

2. Are there customs surrounding marriage/monogamy? Could my character have a devoted spouse or would that be considered weird by their standards? Are there DRoP Weyr-like customs associated with Kyriders when it comes to procreation? Do the attitudes vary?

3. How tragic a past do I have to have/how plucky does my character have to be to get the SuperShiny best Kyrka?? (FACETIOUS QUESTION ALERT)

Suuuuuure thing!
  1. They age pretty much like humans do. So having a kid at 21 is pretty normal!
  2. There are marriage ceremonies, and when a couple decides to tie the knot, monogamy is the way to go. A child's neighbors and extended family always help take care of them, though the parents still do the most work. When Kyrka mate, it isn't as... intense... as it is in DRoP. So while there may be a little bit of tension between the Serra of two mated Kyrka, there isn't a super high pressure for those Serra to get together. Kyriders can get married (via the same customs) to either other Kyriders or non-riders, though the latter is considered a little strange. Kids born to Kyrider pairs generally see less of their parents and are raised by everyone.
  3. Your home village needs to have burned down 3 times and your parents murdered by your uncle and then you lost control and killed him but it wasn't actually him and now you're trying to get revenge on the real village-burner and you will get the pure-white Kyrka and unite the tribes and--

Lemme know if you need more clarification!
