Rezmal, the Basics

Possibly the oddest of all the Out-Worlders, Rezmal are the 3rd sapient species "discovered" by Nijezdo and her people. The Rezmal are considered a mostly matriarchal species, with their women taking most leadership roles, as well as historical figures. As their women are considered stronger, larger, and more protective over what she considers "hers", it's not too surprising. This reverse biology seems to be the most common on Bonora (boh-noh-rah), with the females of almost every animal being larger and more protective (or just generally more aggressive) than the males.

Which may be due to the way that Rezmal and other animals on Bonora reproduce, which leads me to:

⚠This section under the cut is going to talk about reproduction and the life cycle of Rezmal. While extreme details are not mentioned: Reader discretion is advised⚠

TLDR: Rezmal are like seahorses, where the female Rezmal deposits her egg into the male. They are ovoviviparous (eggs stay in the mother, or in this case, father and hatch in the womb), and monogamous.

Major Biological Differences

Like Nijezdi (Humans Fae and Pixies) Rezmal women produce eggs and men produce sperm, however, the process of childbearing is... reversed. The females deposit eggs into the males the same way that Nijezdi males deposit sperm. I shall let you imaginations figure out the rest...

Rezmal children can be born at any time of the year, with Rezmal women having hormone cycles similar to that of Nijezdi, menopause and all, and Rezmal men only lose sperm count as the years go on.

Birth

When the child is conceived, the man will be pregnant for around 8 months before giving birth, and will (usually) be the main caretaker of the baby until they grow into full adults. With help of the mother, or course. The baby will have his or her first shed at around 5 months old, and will continue to shed every year for the rest of their lives.

Childhood

Rezmal children will usually be pretty chubby and short for most of their childhood. They are very active and playful, but need to take many breaks after burst of energy. This is because, unlike Humans, Rezmal are not known for endurance. They will spend most of their days underground in most countries to protect them from the outside, and some children won't even see the sun until a certain age. Though, this does change depending on culture and tech.

Teenager

A Rezmal is considered a teen around 14-19, not really reaching puberty until around that time. They can be identified by their very elongated body, and their large crest (for the boys) or big arms (for the girls). This is also when in some countries they're allowed above ground for the first time. Mood swings, teenage angst, and hormones are also very much a thing during this time, and something that every parent of teenagers can relate to, no matter the species.

Adulthood

24 is considered an adult in most Rezmal cultures, leaving adult to leave his or her home to make a name for themselves. Women will tend to go for jobs that require muscle (construction, maintenance, body guarding), are dangerous (oil rigs, deep sea welders), or leadership roles (politicians, business owners), while men would go for logistical lines of work (scientists, tacticians, accountants), or more care-giving work (teachers, nurses, housekeeping). While these are the most common for both sexes, and there was a time where it was considered scandalous for a man to be a leader or a woman to be a housekeeper, at this point in time it's far less looked down upon.

It's pretty common for a Rezmal to live by themselves for a time after moving out (depending on the economy, the person's money situation, and culture, of course), even leaving their home town completely in search for a new place to settle. Rezmal, on average, are a little more introverted than Nijezdi at least.

Romance and Child-rearing

The woman is usually the one to pursue the man in most Rez societies. Since she's the provider and the protector (from big threats) it's up to the man to determine whether she'd be a good match for him or not. Baring the obvious, like compatible morals and personality. If he finds her up to snuff, they'll go on to dating, and eventually marriage.

however there is a reason while only Rezmal men have claws and venom:

For a very large portion of their history, the men have often fought with each other, either by his own volition, or by the request of his wife, it is usually the men who spill blood and pump venom. Though surprisingly, it's pretty rare for a man to die during these, what they call, duels. Making it a very common way for countries to wage war by simply having the two warring leader's husbands duel it out. However, if that doesn't work... well, as the old saying goes "A man fights for honor, a woman fights for death of the other". When real war occurs, the death toll very commonly ending in the millions...

Leaving most women happy to have their men fight on their behalf, and find it quite appealing, and even romantic.

As a monogamous species, both the mother and the father care for their children. While the father tends to be more involved, the mother is very much an important part of a developing child's life. A typical Rez family usually only consists of a mother, a father, and their children, with family and friends helping out a little bit during rough years or if asked. While the Rezmal may be introverted, they still are a social species

Rezmal Infant Development ft. baby Keenôree

The rezmal as a species are very different from most other Out-Worlders. Partially due to how short their infancy is, and due to the fact that is actually the men who carry and care for the young. Like that of sea horses, however, the rezmal only have one to two children per gestation. It was a very odd thing to learn during first contact.

While a rezmal's infancy is shorter than other species, they are toddlers for a lot longer, unlike the four years most species spend as toddlers, rezmal become one by the age of seven months, or around the time they are able to properly lift their hands off the ground.

Little Keenôree here was born an albino, so while his development is basically the same as many other rezmal children, his scales and eyes are quite different.

L'exûa Jacison*, Keenôree's very social, very joyful wife and childhood best friend.

She's a minor celebrity when it comes to her musical career, getting popular on the Lost Locket's version of the internet due to talent with singing and musical instruments. She loves movies and is a bit of a gossip, but loves her husband more than anything. She's also a fan of jokingly calling Elîsa "big sis", simply cause it annoys her.

Also, ignore her mediocre clothing, you have no idea how hard it is to put nice looking clothing on a toob, it will get better, I promise (╥﹏╥)

Height... or length? comparison of L'exûa and Keenôree under cut

[lost-locket-antiques]

Keenôree Jacison*, Elîsa's (adopted, tho neither of them would preface that) little brother, and one hell of a researcher. He's a lot more talkative compared to when he was a kid, but not by much.

He got to marry his childhood best friend, L'exûa*, which he constantly gets grief for (either from people saying they got married too young, or his sister jokingly being salty over the fact that her loner brother got married before her). He's not the type of man to start fights, and tries his best to keep the peace, being raised by a no-nonsense damn-near-special-forces Orc tends to not make you much of a pushover.

He may be meek, but he ain't weak.

Keenôree*, Second Child of Aharen Jacison*

A later addition to the Tippicenù crew, little Keenôree (not his birth name, but given to him by Aharen so he would stop calling him “boy” or “child”. It is the equivalent of calling your son “bird”*), was meant to only be a foster until he could be integrated into a permanent home. However, due to Aharen parental instincts, and his daughter, Elîsa’s pushing, he became the latest member of the Jacison household.

Little one had quite the rough childhood. The type of rough that you would never wish on anyone, especially a little kid. But with a lot of love, and patience, he became quite the wonderful young man.

Razmal are still a pretty new species, and not much is known about them at the moment. This is mostly due to the fact that they are not only “new”, but also due to them being very secretive. Which is a bit of a problem for an adoptive father…

*kee-noh-ree

*Aah-haah-rehn jaah-kih-sahn

*the “birds”, commonly known as ari’al (ah-ree-ahl), on Nijezdo actually look pretty similar to rezmal (rehz-mahl), just with wings and feathers. They are mostly ambush predators that like to hide in trees and capture prey, most having some kind of aggressive camouflage. Aharen’s native tongue of Remoninee (reh-mah-nihn-ee) call these ari’al, keenôree.
