An exercept from
HIGH BREEDING
A classical work on Sylluria's furry bloodlines
by Raritu, Tanuki scholar
Since those with innate supernatural powers are much more commonly found among the aristocracy and other types of ruling elites among the various regions of continent Sylluria, these supernatural qualities, herearfter called Virtue, whatever they really are, had been used to justify caste customs and divine right notions.
As a scholar, I refrain from judging those social concepts and instead examine the crude matter of breeding; why some noble people are born without Virtue even when their parents are visibly Virtuous?
It must be said that, as my research demonstrates, Virtue doesn't exist by itself. It depends on other traits to sustain itself when it is passed to progeny.
Said traits are hereafter called Pillar and Paradox, and these are opposing qualities.
Pillar manifests itself as the tendency of some furry "species" to leave their mark in the world and become known as "true breeders", like, for example, wolves and foxes and horses. Pillars tend to change with time, but not within lifetimes. Ages are needed to pass before a given "species" can gain or lose force. In practical terms, if, say, a fox woman becomes pregnant with a five-puppy litter from her husband, a wolf, chances are two foxes, two wolves and a "hybrid" are born.
These figures, however, are just probabilities and not certainty, and they assume "pure blood" parents with no Virtue whatsoever. We also have to bear in mind that foxes and wolves have more or less the same Pillar force. Let's assume the father is a raccoon instead of a wolf. Raccons are rarer than wolves, therefore a raccoon have less Pillar than a wolf. According to my calculations, the more common result on that litter would be three foxes, one raccon and a "hybrid".
Paradox, on the other hand, is not a quantifiable factor. It's a measure of incompability between "species". This results on sponteanous abortion, low fertility taxes (litters with fewer puppies, low chances of actual breeding, etc.), and even risky pregnancies that threaten the mother. The three "species" mentioned above are within the same Paradox group, so they present no problems to parents when they breed. However, if a avian mother breeds with a mammalian father, for example the raccoon father mentioned above with his dove wife, things can get really problematic, and two puppies are the most common result, all of them "hybrids". It seems hybrids are much more common when different Paradox groups are involved, but in contrast, there are much less puppies being born, so hybrids aren't numerically more common.
Then we get to supernatural Virtue at last. Virtue attaches itself to Paradox or Pillar. For example, a case of study is Prince Orion, a kitsune/anubian hybrid. This famous warrior ruler has distinguishing characteristics of two different Virtues, the Kitsune and the Anubian. The Kitsune Virtue is attached to the Fox Pillar; it depends on fox bloodline to sustain itself. But the Anubian Virtue depends on the Canid Paradox group; although jackals are known to be the first Anubian around, any canid could be Anubian and have powers over the restless dead. So a anubian/kitsune hybrid is possible and that is proved by Prince Orion's existance.
It is a possible hybrid outcome, but Virtue is tricky. It has its very particular laws. It is shy and it tends to evaporate from our material world; it doesn't really want to be confined in corporeal bodies.
As such, Prince Orion had long searched for mates capable of giving him a heir. He only managed to have two kids even having an entire harem at his disposal and the visit of foreign sovereigns interested in cement political alliance with Orion's kingdom. His Highness' ideal mate was a seemingly common raccoon girl and Echoe the thief beared him twins.
Why? Well, according to my researchs, Echoe's grandfather was a famous Tanuki trickster called Migalou. The Tanuki Virtue can be attached to any species' Pillar of moderate force which bears some characteristics such as striped tail and facial mask, among others. These are aesthetical values, not really physical ones, it seems. It is known to become latent such as two regular raccoons can give birth to a Tanuki, for example. When it is latent, The spiritual law of the Tanuki Virtue act as catalyst to other apparent virtues! Therefore a "pure blood" raccoon, or mangut, or badger, with enough latent Tanuki blood could be the ideal mate for Prince Orion, and indeed she was.
The twins Avi and Vina are therefore anubian kitsune hybrids just as their father, although they are raccoons just as their mother. We can see that, for example, on Vina's outward appearance: she is a raccoon with the classic Anubian eye pattern and with two tails, like some kitsune, although these are two racoon tails. Both have, and must have, latent Tanuki blood.
The Tanuki Virtue is indeed a very special bloodline in the sense that it helps bridge Paradox disparities. Badgers and raccoons don't belong to the same Paradox group and as such one would expect poor litters when members of these two different species breed. But that doesn't happen when one or both of the parents have Tanuki Virtue. Their puppies are numerous even if all of them seem "regular" raccoons or badgers. In fact all but one in a given litter have latent Tanuki blood; the other is a "true" Tanuki; the spiritual law of the Tanuki seems to demand that only one of a given litter is born Tanuki, with full access to Tanuki powers and things like that. The others are "commoners" with latent Virtue, and Echoe was one of those with latent Tanuki virtue. Since Orion is no badger or raccon or mangut, the twins are not, and they couldn't be, "true" Tanuki.
Moreover, passion and environmental conditions seems to be important when Virtue chooses to be passed to one's descendents. As I am told, Echoe loved Orion, and at the same time she feared him, at least at the beginning of their relationship, when the twins were conceived. This mix of emotions on the mother, combined with her Tanuki blood, make her capable of putting Orion's children on the face of Sylluria. And since that mix doesn't exist anymore, they had only that litter and not a single more puppy.
Since Orion's particular hybrid Virtue is very longevous, he will perhaps have the chance of having more descendents in the future. But alas, the more longevous a person is because of her Virtue, the less fertile she is, and there are less chances of passing that Virtue to however children she bears.
On the following chapter, I'll discuss what sex and gender have to do with the three Breeding Qualities I mentioned above, particularly why it seems there are more functional herms among hybrids than among the so-called "pure" furries.
An Excerpt of
COMMENTARY TO HIGH BREEDING
by Inkhna, the Witch Queen
Raritu is wrong or incomplete in many of his conclusions.
The most important erroneous point on the above exposition is the importance of authority. The suparba -- or Virtue as he ingenuously calls it, in an attempt to create a culturally neutral term -- is not just an excuse used by ruling classes. Authority itself attracts suparba. It is the same principle that allows us magicians to summon and controle spirits; our authority is the thing, the concept that chains wills to those who dare enact or break laws.
Orion is himself a victim of the laws of fate. He needed a raccoon thief to have his twin children. Isn't that debasing? That the powerful ruler of a so-called Empire has bred heirs on a robber? The star over Echoe's eye is a sign of fate. Orion constantly tries to rule fate and he has always been unsucessful.
Had he agreed to share his throne with me, the Prince wouldn't have to deal with his mischiveous and inconvenient heirs. He would have a bountiful progeny, much more respected by the people. And would not be on the verge of being deposed by rebels... such is the fate of those who defy Inkhna's will.
