>>27044268Not directly related to any of these talking points. But the 40K concept of gene-seed really piqued my interest
https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Gene-SeedI wondered back when we were discussing pyon island and the reproduction of Champyons if the lore for champys isn't that they're born per-se, but made? Maybe via implanting of clover or something, cultivated by Kiki herself. I think there is potential there to bridge the gap with multiple on-theme elements into champy lore. The clover can reject(filter) those who are not compatible, resulting in an excruciating death, similar to the 40K lore.
