MI Stuff- Alien morphology/ stereotypes (spoilery maybe) (Patreon)

Maybe this is spoilery, if you care about what gender or age Kallakore is. Either way you're reading this so it's probably too late, haha. Don't worry, it doesn't affect the plot. To be honest it probably won't even show up in the comic at all given all my editing down, but you can read about it~

There are three sexes

• Major female: these are females who can produce other major females as well as males. Heavier bodies to accommodate the rigors of pregnancy, built very much for defensiveness. Looked down upon as relics, somewhat, because of a recent societal lack of interest in procreation, and because their bodies are seen as somewhat unwieldy. They are perceived as being slow and standoffish.
  
• Minor females: these are females who can produce only other minor females. Most of the population is made up of minor females, who are very hardy and powerful, sort of a mix of the best qualities of both the bulky majors and lithe males. Definitely built for success. Despite their diminutive name they are found at the upper echelons in almost every field. 
  
• males: just males. They are smaller overall than either majors or minors and have more powerful jaws. Often treated more as children, which is unfair since many males are just as capable as females... Tend to gravitate towards more creative fields.
  
• adolescents are spotted, probably a relic from ancient times when they needed camouflage from dangers in the sky. Usually spend their childhood grasping onto their mothers until they have developed enough arm strength to pull themselves out of the nursery on their own.
  

They are viviparous and give birth underwater, like whales, necessitating a journey to the surface for baby's first respiration. Depending on region their crest can be any variety of shape, though some sort of spatulate or forked shape is more common. And depending on the general fashion trends of the era, crests might be artificially reduced or engorged to be hip or whatever, damn kids.

Thanks to Brad for asking about sexual dimorphism more than once so that I felt like it would be interesting to talk about.
