WoMon:WoMai

WōMoN (sing.), WōMai (pl.)

/wəʊ.mɑn/ (sing.), /wəʊ.meɪ/ (pl.)

A WoMon is a female creature with special powers, an impressive libido, and a natural psychology to submit to a "master." Some were human females who have undergone Threshold and transformed. All WoMai have some sort of special ability, if not looks, that separate them from normal females. WoMai were originally created by Sukebei as super-soldiers, sexual partners, and servants. After Sukebei's disappearance, some people found that they could make WoMai loyal to a single person and this knowledge spread. A person who did this was called a Tamer. WoMai now act as a human's friend/slave/partner/whatever. There are two categories of WoMai, Domestic WoMai and FeralBorn WoMai.

Feralborn WoMai are birthed, usually by parthenogenesis, by WoMai who have themselves gone Feral. Since they spend their formative years living like wild beasts, they are very animalistic in thought and possess strong powers.

Feralborn WoMai normally have less intelligence than a domesticated one, but will possess more power. It is possible to increase a Feralborn WoMai intelligence, but most Tamers consider this is a waste of time when they could be enhancing their combative skills.

DomesticBorn WoMai are ones that were either born to a Tamed WoMon or were a human female that underwent Threshold. DomesticBorn WoMai normally have less power than a FeralBorn one, but will possess more intelligence.

All WoMai, save those with the Longevity enhancement, have a lifespan equal to that of Humans. WoMai with the Longevity enhancement can live for centuries

WoMai all have strong desires to have sex, to a greater or lesser degree depending on the specific Genura of WoMai, but these hormones only kick in during their first puberty, which happens around the same time a human girl would undergo maturity.

There are several categories of WoMai which describe what abilities they have or what their general attitude is like. These abilities are now used in many things aside from combat, as most technology was destroyed during Sukebei's War. While some hate WoMai, most understand that this is the only way humans will survive in this new, chaotic world.

Life Cycle

WoMai are born as KoMai and during this childhood their feralness is determined by they are feralborn or not.

When a KoMai reaches the age when their animal basis would reach sexual maturity, they go through their first puberty and become ShojoMai

ShojoMai are infertile as far as sexual reproduction goes, being able to bear young only from parthenogenesis.

A ShojoMon who reaches her middle ages(usually a little more than 20 years after first puberty) undergoes a second puberty, and becomes a WōMan.

WoMai with the Longevity enhancement undergo their first puberty normally, but only undergo their second one when they reach middle age for them, which can take hundreds of years.

WōMen have a slightly decreased libido, are no longer subject to parthenogenesis, take a longer time to go Feral, and are able to bear children via sexual reproduction, with such children being either human males, human females, or WoMon. Such births are generally one child per pregnancy, with normal chances for more than one child.
