A few probably fucked up tidbits of Yeskiv, because itâs Yeskiv. Ft. some Ardaka.
Context RE: The Dead Baby Room: Due to the nature of kariian biology, carrying full-kariian children to term is very difficult for them. The reason for this issue happens to be more severe for Yeskiv, so she tries for a LONG time to have children. Sheâs had tens of thousands of years worth of miscarriages and stillborns or even children who die before they reach a year. In her grief, she meticulously maintained their preserved bodies when applicable, assuming it was one her own body hadnât simply re-absorbed. Since having the twins, she hasnât tried for more. Sheâs also since, when they were younger, taken them through this hall full of their preserved deceased siblings and told them in no uncertain terms that they needed to live and prosper for all their sakes, too. Pressure absolutely intended. High expectations = love! In her eyes.
Imagine this being the mom you have to sneak past when youâre trying to sneak out at night. Ardaka did this often as a youth, naturally, and Yeskiv opted to have traps put in place. However, if he bypassed them she would leave him be. So he has been doing that kind of thing his whole life. Yeskiv created pretty intricate traps, too. (Sometimes, Ardaka actually found it fun. Mostly it just succeeded in making him incredibly paranoid from the jump.)
She is a master of biology, she creates life almost as easily as she takes it away. Sheâs seeded intelligent life to a planet, accelerated the evolution, then purged them all later when theyâve not shaped out the way she desired. Has a very Sovereign from Mass Effect kind of mantra in that she believes: âYou exist because I allow it, you will end because I demand it.â She creates the pathogens she uses to wipe entire species out as well; she's created multiple bioweapons specifically made to target a particular species, or a specific subrace. She believes it is her right to dominate life, particularly life that exists alone on her whim but just overall as well.
Edited the genome of the twins while they were in the womb to ensure theyâd come out with the furthest, most advantageous start she could provide them. She even did the surgery herself, because nobody else could be trusted to do it. Overall, she does her own genetic modifications as well. So at this point yes she chooses to look like that.
The twins used to play in the mouth of her giant maw-tail when they were small enough. She would bring them to meetings and everything. Youâre not allowed to complain tho or sheâll kill you.
The tail IS capable of eating and digesting people btw. It's a real possibility that Yeskiv gets irritated with whomever she's talking to and Fucking Eats Them.
