[How do the Yun reproduce?]

And that is why gynogenesis was brought in as an actual example of female-only species that reproduce by the eg stimulation by other species, without the sperm fertilizing the egg.  As well as a hermaphrodite version and parthenogenesis. 

 

In short, while someone like Nylisa might just want it to remain a mystery and magic, but there are evolutionary adaptations that could be used in this case to make it as pseudo-modern as spraying those tea plants with pesticides, wearing 21st century outfits and shooting machine guns in the world that is supposed to be fantasy. 

agreed and it also goes against the small lore that has been revealed about them , we are a race that like to keep to ourselves and dont like to get involved with other societies but we need your men to have babies???? :|

oh, you should have read previous page on all possible and known forms of both sexual and asexual reproduction, and while it is applicable to frogs, fish and salamanders rather than mammals, well, why not in a fantasy world :) As long as the male can face the consequences of the mating if they really by analogy..... heh.

 

Part of me really wishes it was a part of lore.

 

Even if it is scaled back from the amazon molly's fecundity to accommodate for the womb capacity, if a Yun in the presence of the donor species started producing 5-8 baby Yuns after each stimulation.... that would have been so awesome! This game just makes me wish it were so! There is a funny fan-fic there somewhere in it....

i been with this post from the start , i been replying to it from early on too and i just don't see it possible and simply say "why not in fantasy world" that's all :D

i cant just make things up that doesn't make sense even if its fiction (my personal opinion tho) , and i like it better that they left it to players to decide rather than including it in the lore , considering they censor some of the story and lore i wont be surprised if they come up with a weird clumsy explanation to not offend anyone and just call it a day!

I guess Yun is sorta like a clan which is made up of women, be it adopted or mothered. Some Yun could reproduce with male from another race, and if the child is a dude, they give him away, and if the child is a gal, they form a strong bond?? lol....or they just have special reproduction powers like the Asari xD.

i dont think that one works , the first part i mean because first its a female only race no males at all and second since its the male's off spring that decides the gender of a baby in our "science" reproducing with other races sounds impossible to me :D

I like this idea too, and considered the posting of another player about Parthenogenesis; there is a section in Wikipedia on that term that describes a similar phenomena called Gynogenesis. An interesting few lines state:

 

"A form of asexual reproduction related to parthenogenesis is gynogenesis. Here, offspring are produced by the same mechanism as in parthenogenesis, but with the requirement that the egg merely be stimulated by the presence of sperm in order to develop. However, the sperm cell does not contribute any genetic material to the offspring. Since gynogenetic species are all female, activation of their eggs requires mating with males of a closely related species for the needed stimulus..."

 

With these ideas in mind, Jin and Gon males would be the most compatible with the Yun, while unions with Lyn males would be unlikely to create offspring. This is probably way more scientific than what the original Yun concept writer envisioned, but it's fun to speculate nonetheless!

interesting idea , but it seems they left it to players to decide for themselves :D or didnt even care to include that part or didnt even  think about it

 

but also , Scientific explanations in a world where you can glide with your hand,shoot fire from your fists fly and dive through the air kill monsters of different type and form doesnt make much sense to me :D

Well, easiest is just a lack of a better word.  :p  I just happen to like the idea that they can breed with any male and just have another Yun.  :)

I thought the easiest explanation was they can breed with any male, they just have more yun.

Except this is fiction.  A fiction that like many other fictions has said different species can reproduce with different results.

 

Superman can breed with Lois Lane.  Two different species.  Max and Miyira bred, they were two different species.  Humans and elves can interbreed.

 

One just has to decide how it's done with regards to the Yun.  Breeds with all the males but only has more yun, seems the easiest explanation.  Or female is always yun and male offspring is the same as the father, is also easy explanation.

i dont understand what people mean by "easiest" i mean we are not looking for the easiest explanation we looking for something that makes sense based on the given information in their lore which is not much , easiest is not the best as they say xD

The Yun are similar to elves so it's possibile they are naturally immortal. Of course they can die killed by someone or because of other reasons, but their death isn't real; they go to realm of spirits and after some time they reborn on new Yun.

How do you mean? i mean which part of the lore you are talking about i cant find anything about it :D

The Yun are a warrior race of Females who use their special skills to kill anyone standing in their way. 

 

Every year , during the spring , the chosen batch of Yun females are selected as a raiding party to descend like harpies upon the unsuspecting population of various towns around Veridian Coast, Cinderlands,  Moonwater and Silverfrost. They defeat the guards and armies stationed there with their vile, guile or plain butt kicking , and then force themselves upon the fallen but still alive warriors. Thus impregnated, they would wait the 10 months to see the sex of their offspring. The males are killed off at birth by drowning and the females are groomed to become warriors along with their sisters 

 

you win sir :D somebody close the topic!

try reading about Asari (all female race) reproduction from mass effect too , interesting idea a bit more scientific though .

 

Diging up old posts like a pro :p
