Information
What are Indagos?
•Indagos are a type of species that look like humans(in the TLN verse, tails and ears are allowed). When it comes to reproduction, there is no gender differentiation but rather, ‘roles’; the Superos and Subicios.
•They are often in a pack, with one alpha.
•The Indago gene is a recessive trait; an Indago having a normal mother and father is perfectly normal.
•Indagos have a high healing rate. Because of that, pharmaceutical drugs don’t work.
•Neck baring is a common quirk both Superos and Subicios do. Superos towards other stronger Superos and their alpha, Subicios to all Superos. It’s to show submission.
What are Subicios?
•The submissive branch of the Indagos, they are the ‘mothers’ or ‘carriers’. Their personalities aren’t necessarily submissive; it’s only when affected by a Supero’s pheromones do they become compliant, with the primal instinct to please. After some time, a Subicio is able to ignore the desire to please... to a point. And usually, only after becoming used to pheromones.
•They are stronger than humans, though not nearly as strong as Superos. •They also have greater senses and a high aptitude of adapting a physical skill.
•They are generally smaller than Superos.
•During pregnancy, Subicios tend to ‘den’. This involves finding a place of comfort and security where only they frequent, gathering soft materials to create a sort of ‘nest’. They are rather protective of their area, even towards their own pack. During pregnancy, Subicios require a constant touch, needing the nutrients provided from a Supero; this is a way for nature to sort of check that the Subicio has a Supero mate. Without touch, they will slowly become crazy; putting laundry in the dishwasher, walking out of the house in a robe, mismatching shoes, and a sombrero. That sort of crazy. And will become frantic. Mostly, it’s to gain attention from their Supero. They will also be more subjectable to challenging their Supero.
•Subicio’s are unable to impregnate. At all. They are also only able to carry for a Supero.
•The first time a Subicio encounters a new Supero, they are almost certainly unable to meet their eyes.
•Subicios are rarer than Supico, to a ratio of 1 of 3, which is usually the reason of packs.
•Subicios have a weird way of apologizing. If a Supero becomes enraged, the urge to please will most likely win out. The way they apologize is by going to their knees and rubbing their face on the Superos thigh, waiting for forgiveness. Forgiveness is granted by a hand touching their hair. If they are pushed away, they are not forgiven.
What are Superos?
•The dominant branch of the Indagos, these are the ‘fathers’ or ‘protectors’. Their personalities are usually rather dominating and controlling, though some are able to repress the instinct. With practice, they have the ability to withhold their pheromones, for those who want a more normal relationship with a Subicio. Their instinct is to protect the Subicio; some even go as far as dictating the subicio’s every decision, for the Subicio’s greater good.
•They are stronger than both humans and Subicios.
•They have something called a Bloodfury. When high on emotions such as anger and fear, they will develop silver markings on their neck, cheeks, and pelvic bone. They descend into an animalistic state and are extremely violent. Usually, the reason for Bloodfury is due to a threat to their Subicio. It takes a few hours to a few days to calm a Supero from a complete Bloodfury. During this time, they lose the ability to talk and perform just as an animal would, responding in growls and refusing anyone near their Subicio(unless a pack mate), especially when said Subicio is injured.
•They are generally rather large.
•They are unable to carry a child. They are also unable to mate with anyone besides a Subicio; mating with a non-Subicio will not provide any children.
•Superos are able to take a custom drug that suppresses the pheromones and their reactions towards Subicios. This drug is hard to make and a supplier would need to be found.
•Superos feel the urge to stay close and control their Subicio.
What are Hunters?
•These are mostly non-Indagos. They hunt down Subicios and Superos, sometimes killing them, other times capturing them. More times than not, the hunter will use a controlled Supero to hunt down Indagos. They gain control with the hostage of the Superos’ Subicio.
•Being kidnapped by the Hunters is an option, though we would like the plot to be discussed with us so we're clued in and offer advice.
Feelings towards Werewolves:
•Werewolves are a Indago’s natural enemy. Without the drug, the ability to suppress the urge to fight(for Superos) or flee(for Subicios) is extremely hard; if the Indago is able to suppress it, it is only for a short period of time. A werewolf bite will not change an Indago nor is it deadly to them. However, if a werewolf bites a pregnant Subicio, it could potentially become deadly, as the bite has a very high chance of effecting the fetus. If the child is far along in the development and a full moon happens, they will attempt to change, destroying the innards of the Subicio(yikes. >>) So, if this happens, it is highly advisable to terminate the pregnancy.
•Mating with a werewolf should NEVER happen.
What is Lustrum?
•Lustrum is a week long mating period that occurs twice a year; once in the month of October, the other in the month of February. This is the only time Subicios can conceive with a Supero. During this time, the Superos and Subicios have an insatiable need to copulate with a Supero; usually, the Indagos would opt to stay at home, seeing as public eyes are the last thing on their mind. (Remember, pg-13 on Gaia, follow TOS. >> This is mainly for those who do a little more.)
•The week before Lustrum would be considered a Subicio’s menstrual cycle; although no fluids are included, they experience high emotions of, well, bitchiness. Subicios do not want to be touched by anyone, especially by a Supero. They are downright surly and disagreeable. During this time period, it is usually advised to eat plenty of fruit, breads, and sugars; it helps curb the irritability. Baths and other relaxing methods are also suggested. This lasts usually a week long and immediately runs into Lustrum, where they suddenly start craving contact.

FaQ
Are they immune to the effects of alcohol as well? I can only think that being able to heal quickly, their blood would circulate faster with any abnormalities within the system, or anything that could be considered "health-hazardous"...
•They... aren't immune per say. Like, if they are bitten by a werewolf, they would still be sick. If they were hit with a tranquilizer with a high potency, they would still go down. However, the alcohol will clear out of their system faster than a human's. It also takes more to get them completely smashed.
You've made it seem as though Subicios get physically pregnant, which is totally awesome, but does that mean that male pregnancy is as visible as it is common? (I.E. Do they have a belly and crave everything under the sun?)
•When a male Subicio gets pregnant, they have... a layer of tissue in their stomach that, in hospitals, is often mistaken as extra tissue. There is also a line just below their stomach but above their pelvic that could be mistaken as a scar. Which, essentially, is how the baby comes out. It's a private affair, done alone where they nest. For several days after giving birth, the Subicio will be animalistic and will not respond to much, extremely protective of their young. Food given, they'll share half of it with their child, first... chewing it up for them. >> Because, babies at birth, can handle solid food, just can't chew. Ummm... hmmm.. Oh, the scar on the stomach will be rather irritated looking for the first week but it will fade. So yes, they do get a belly. And craving definitely happens. ovo
Where would one start on a hunt to find the drug to suppress the pheromones?
•As of now, only those who discussed it with us will have the drug in their plot. However, it usually requires a witch/wizard to brew it up and very hard to get hands on.
With this being a recessive trait, is it completely overshadowed by the dominant, or is it a partial dominance? Could you possibly explain what you meant by "normal" and if not mating with another Indago can bear any children at all for the later generations to get the trait? /biology major curiousity
•Um... I know very little about biology. However, I mean normal as in non-indago. An Indago cannot mate with any non-Indago, even if they have the (dormant)Indago strand within them. A human produced from two Indago parents(which is rare), will still have the Indago gene; but only for the purposes of carrying it on. The human born from two Indagos can breed with humans and whatnot, though it may be several generations before another Indago pops up into that lineage.
What's the best way to have them find their respective Sup/Sub? Is it a love at first sight thing, a hunt, or just normal relationship with the underlying instincts and reactions until they know each other more?
•There really isn't 'finding' their mate. Half the time, it's coincidence. There are a few Indago packs out there and individual discussions on how someone finds their mate is great. And it's not really any of those. I'll break it down between the two types and how they react:
Supero: As soon as they're in proximity(Somewhere around a few yards) of a Subicio, they'll have the urge to claim. Especially if they haven't trained themselves to rein in the pheromones and control the urge. They want to claim, possess, dominate. At least, at the core. Some may be less this case than others but that's the basic gist. If it's their first Subicio they've encountered, more likely than not, they'll experience things they normally don't feel before. A usually submissive Supero being extremely dominating with his/her Sub is definitely not unusual. When in proximity, they don't really... act themselves? If that makes sense? Anyhows, it's not love, it's not attraction. It's the feeling of claiming.
Subicio: For first time exposure to a Supero that can claim(i.e. not a family member who is a Supero), they'll be extremely obedient. Usually, to the point of not meeting the Supero's eyes without permission. There will be a nagging feeling to please, ultimately. This does die down a bit after... copulation. >> (though, remember. ToS) The angrier a Supero is or the closer they are, the more the need to please is there. This does not mean a Subicio is submissive; a stubborn, hardheaded Subicio could be forced into submission easily by the Supero. But, once out of range, that same Subicio could come back to his senses and get angry over the situation.
Alright, I've read all of that! I'd like to quest for a sup/sub. How can I do that?
•Please fill out the small form below and send it via pm or skype it to Bullterrierlove of Lollipop x L u x u r y. For sups, all we want is a general grasp and background on the Indago way of life. As long as that's shown in your form, you should be good to go! If not, we'll talk to you about it.
Subs, however; are a different matter. Anyone who wants a sub will most likely need a better grasp on the Indago way of life, and should explain their character in detail. As of right now, we aren't accepting any sub quests due to how many sub quests there are currently. The only exception to this would be if someone made a sup, and you've plotted/proposed an idea to whomever is questing that sup. This way, the number of subs never exceed the number of sups.
But what if I have a character that could work well as a sub/sup, already made?

I have another question but it's not listed here!
•Post away, my friend!
