Some more detailed thoughts regarding the effects of /who/'s chuubanite, especially on organisms. I think /who/rep originally intended for us to have owl girl shock troopers, not as cool but it would do, I think. No-paragraph anon if you found any fault in it please let me know.
/who/ chuubanite: Biological effects intent: Promotes growth of civilization(mostly on farmed crops and animals, some positive effect on humans)
Chuubanite have highly selective effect on organisms within /who/:
- Mostly on grain crop or crop artificially selected to have larger fruits/seeds: increased photosynthesis & fruiting rate > faster growth rate, better nutritional density, better taste(partly subjective, e.g. fruits have slightly higher fructose content)
- Growth and health on other types of (wild)plants also observed but extremely marginal(<1%), only type with noticeable difference are berries.
- Plants esp. farming cultivars absorb higher than usual amount of chuubanite
enters into digestive system
- Interacts with different cells in humans which promote both muscle growth, increased ATP production & storage(work longer before feel exhausted), also average focus time(unfortunately causes increased autism/add rate in some population)
- Natives respond to the chuubanite more than non native
-Ruminants absorb chuubanite by eating sheer amount of grass, omnivores(pigs & poultry) absorb it through eating food scrap/feed made from plants disproportionally affected(human food)
-Effect in animals only affect muscle growth and energy conversion
-Wildlife very marginally affected like plants. Some urban scavengers also exhibit observed effects on livestock but much weaker.
Other effects
Polygenic disorder:
- Females disproportionally affected. Only present in native pouplation.
- Strong association with the mother(only inherited through mother, Mitochondrial?)
lower skeleton(decrease of ~40-50%), muscle mass(decrease of ~10-20%)
weaker bones, muscle mass and strength can be partially recovered through the consumption of crops grew in higher chuubanite areas, but skeleton mass marginal increase only bone strength.
- Depends on individual, most would need wheelchair for longer distances, can stand and support themselves for extended period of time(hours) but usually can't walk for >15 minutes, sprint for ~100 meters before feeling pain. Too much physical exertion could break bones.
- New back skeletal muscle group connected with wing, similar to aviant flight muscle. Specialised cells in wing stores chuubanite. Limited articulation of wing due to skeletal structure, flight achieved mostly by expenditure of chuubanite, which creates vertical lift. Visibally emits amber colored chuubanite particles. The subject then are able to glide in a limited fashion and maintain altitude by occasionally flapping their wings(which expends more chuubanite). Depending on individual's physical ability & cell + chuubanite concentration, flight last no longer than 25 minutes before exhaustion, 1 1/2 hour before expending all chuubanite. Accumulation process slow, mostly through food and small amount from air & water, takes at least 2-3 weeks before completely replenished.
- Feather patterns different in individuals. Hair in some areas replaced by down feathers.
- Slightly lower cone cell ratio in eyes, reflective tissue behind eyes, like cats
- No observed difference in neck bone structure
I might incorporate the latter part on owl girls into a short story sometime later. Not anchoring until I either did that or expand the first part on crops into an actual paragraph.
