When Shaoze decided that she was ready to breed she picked Sehroazin over the other male in her little group. While Sehroazin was a risk due to his bizarre inability to heal, it was better over picking the clearly weaker male Baephent who's submissive nature made him appear cowardly to the dominate female. Shaoze would lay two perfectly acceptable eggs in time, taking to the care of them perfectly fine and making sure they were wrapped properly in ribbons.

Hatching proved to be an unhappy event however as both eggs hatched into males, and no amount of encouragement from the males of her group that they looked most like their mother would brighten that. Possibly in time they might prove to be clever or of some form of use, but for now she was going to have to wait and see. Once things from the hatching settled the role of taking care of them was passed to their father Sehroazin so she could go back to work. This lasted a very short amount of time as Sehroazin in turn passed the duty off to the submissive male in their group. Baephent had no one to pass it to, and as such was stuck with the job and explaining to work he needed to change his schedual to fit to his care taking of the children.

Sieveh was the more aggressive of the two siblings and much more daring. While his brother used caution in his daily activities, Sieveh was the first to sneak off from their home to see more of the rift. From an early age the young male was working to climb the cliff face that was the walls of the rift and try his hand at hunting little things that lived there. Baephent much to his annoyance often found himself having to chase him and pull him down, getting a fight out of the younger male every time and having to discipline him (often resulting in Sieveh getting disiplined twice). By the time he was a child the thought had changed to 'let him learn why that is stupid himself' something that the adults found worked much better.

Shaoze often tested the intelligence of her children, including telling them it was possible to use their ribbons to make parachuts to jump down the cliff walls.
Sieveh did not question the fact at first, but as he began to learn to use his ribbions had the intelligence to force Baephent to tell him if it was possible. And with the answer being no, only tried to test it once with the use of a rock. Nope, it did not work.

Much to Sieveh's complaining was school. It was something he had to do, and while it was useful to help get an understanding of topics and such he hated it. He'd rather be learning survival skills then science and math he was never going to use. He'd suffer through it though, mostly because of a few key words. Savage, uncivilized, feral, and their application to him and his family. At first he took them as compliments as savage was a word his father applied as positive to his mother. But in time he found out it was an insult that meant he was less then others. It made his blood boil and once he knew the truth he was quick to turn on the other students.

A few fights and screaming matches happened, and were quickly taken care of by the school. It was frustrating and he found himself being taunted by bolder students about his species and what was seen of them on the news. No they were not savages, they had a different culture! The arguments were at first met with laughing as he could never back it up, but it only fueled his fight more. Sieveh would start taking more and more time to read and study, to learn to argue and win. No. To learn to debate. He learned how to present himself and carry himself and worked hard to keep his comments back.

By high school he managed to end most of the attacks. His biggest come back was simply that others lacked the proper education on the Freshu species to be able to understand that they were no more savage then other species. The gender imbalance and female dominance over males could be found in the reverse in Alarcian culture, the choice to wear limited clothing could be found there as well and in Zolgen culture. Their violent nature was related to cultural traditions related to their home world as it was an evolutionary tactic that helped the healthy procreation of their race. In fact aggression was genetic and controlled by natural hormones in their bodies. This was no disability, no more then Bemy not being able to read or Sracknai lacking the processing mentally for imagination. Freshu were not feral savages, they were a unique culture and species that was fortunate to be different in a universe where other species were being molded to a standard.

He weasled his way onto a debate team and even to give a speech at school during a species diversity celebration at his school. Sieveh had no issue being in the spotlight and forcing others to see how proud he was. He would always remain defensive on his species, but also figured out he could use it as a life passion.

Sieveh was not sure he could handle higher schooling, more so when he learned that public speaking classes would take him away from the rift. But he was to prideful to back down after announcing his intent to his family. It was a fight. He hated the other students and many of the teachers. He had to fight for every grade he got and struggle with getting enough classes in around a part time job to pay for it. Whether they liked it or not his brother and prior Nanny had the male sleeping at their homes more often then not as he couldn't afford boarding or an apartment and school. He got good at living on the edge of failure and through sheer will and determination fought his way through school.

Harthford mining had a division that worked specifically with public image, and he was straight to their hiring team with his degree. No public spotlight at first, instead he found himself working under the head of the branch named Gomez Malleo. The tiny Drannd male was confusing, but he accepted that he was in charge for the moment. Getting deeper into the company he could see more of what his brother and family suspected, that everything was run by the female Drannd named Deletrix. She seemed to humor her chosen male by letting him play boss, but at the end of the day it was clear who ruled the rift.

Things were off to a good start for the male, not where he wanted to be yet- but he had time to get there.
GiaZeries: Sieveh by Fiddlezips ... Well uh- Sieveh ran the fuck away :| Like just took off from original plans because apparently screw you speciesist ass hats. Tenor owns his mom and Drannd and Deletrix, and Fiddlezips owns Freshu
