Delta had to learn pretty early how to deal with actual hair. They're still not perfect, but they try.

How tall are your predators?

I haven't thought about exact heights before, so I guess now is as good a time as any lol.

Ku-tei - 6'6 Vix'tel'de - 6'11 Vo'kai - 7'4 Paya - 7'5 Ripper - 7'8 T'karr - 8'2 Anh'khat - 8'10 Lo'qati - 9'6 25-Delta - 10'11

was delta and his friends born in predator packs and taken?

Nope!

The station they live on essentially captured a few live yautja and used their DNA, along with the DNA of other various alien species, to grow test tube babies that would eventually grow into Delta and their squad.

So technically, the whole squad is siblings. However, since they were raised to be super soldiers, none of them are used to actual family dynamics or anything like that.

Delta ends up being different because they found Ua'thi as a baby on a space station overrun with xenos after her parents were killed. Kind of like the beginning of Tarzan where Kala finds baby Tarzan after his parents are killed by Saboor. They evacuated her since she was a civilian, and she's grown up on the station basically following Delta around and forcing them to learn to be a big sibling. (Even though they're technically not allowed to have any contact with her, lol)

if delta is 25 of 26 are all of them named delta?

Nope! The 25 stands for Y in the alphabet, and Y for yautja. So Delta's designation is literally "Yautja-Delta". The others also start with 25, but with names like Alpha, Charlie, Bravo, Zulu, etc.

There are other alien species that are genetically modified on the station Delta is kept, and their designation starts with the number corresponding to the first letter of their species name. So an alien species with a name starting in A would have their designation start with 01, and so on.

You mentioned Ku-tei being born female, but use male pronouns. Is he transgender? What about your other characters?

Yep! With Ku-tei it was a pretty complicated situation. He's already a runt, even by male standards, and looking so wildly different from other Jungle clan yautja, his father didn't want him experiencing even worse ridicule. So he raised Ku-tei as a male publicly. He still faced a bit of ridicule of course, and being a runt was a big reason no other members of the clan took him as an apprentice, allowing Taleya to easily do so. Over time, Ku-tei found it more comfortable to be referred to as male instead of female, and just didn't really think about telling Taleya and Lo'qati. They didn't know until he started puberty and ran to them in a panic because he was bleeding and didn't know what to do.

25-Delta is my only other yautja so far to not be cisgender. They identify as nonbinary. There are other yautja in their group that do too, or that identify as trans, but the rest are cis or don't care enough to put labels on their identity. Delta is one of 26 genetically-modified yautja kept on a space station and used as super soldiers, mainly when xenomorph infestations are reported in the galaxy, so there's quite a variety of identities among them.

As for other parts of the LGBT community, T'karr and Lo'qati are exclusively homosexual, Paya's still figuring things out for herself, Ripper is aroace, and Anh'khat and Vo'kai are pansexual.

Delta might care for hunky boys.
