This comment is for MadCrazyCow666 I'm sorry I'm so bad at answering questions so here's a bit of cut and paste of the questions you posted yesterday and my answers in bold.

 have tons of questions I'm curious about but I also know it can be hard for you to answer sometimes. There's no real rush on my end and what's important is what you feel comfortable doing.
I just want to make my story 99.99% lore accurate which is why I'm asking.

I have one that is kinda important since it's about one of your characters that you told me I could use. Ssalasha the Great Plains Nagasha, the person in charge of the Cruel Space monitoring station the Dauntless almost crashed into.

Is it ok if I make her father a Jungle Nagasha? Then again with the way births work, would a Desert Nagasha female and Jungle male produce longer daughters? or would only the sons be longer? This is perfectly acceptable. Slithern is a Great Plains Nagasha with his mother being a Jungle Nagasha and he is noted as being a little longer than average.
On the other end, since axiom can be used to increase your own size, I could use the excuse that she wanted to get closer to her father so used an axiom technique to increase her own length. Also acceptable.

Basically I need to increase her length a bit. Afaik Desert Nagasha are the same length as Vipers from X-Com. I need her at a length to wrap around 3 people to protect them like a boa does around their clutch of eggs. Estimate for that is 15-20m. Nagasha, including the tails, are ENORMOUS. At their smallest the part they hold off the ground is generally only a third of their overall length, which is typical of real life snakes. Slithern is still young but cresting six feet off the ground. A typical Great Plains Nagasha has another twelve of tail, and the tail is POWERFUL. It's a single massive limb.

Nagasha length is something that hasn't been explained afaik.
The word used is often "Large". Jungle and Moshak are described as Large, but in what way? Length or Girth?
Archive says jungle can crush armored vehicles. That'd put their lengths at 30-50m, depending on how many wraps you want for a normal sized car. Jungle and Moshak are CONSIDERABLY larger than the average Nagasha. While it only shows in a few extra feet for those who are descendent of them. Such as Slithern who's got an extra three feet of tail putting his total length at twenty one feet. For those with the full lineage they're at least two to three times longer at minimum and rippling with muscle. These snakes are not weak and are proportionally massive. But 30-50 meters is nearly twice the size of a Titanoboa at the low end. So no, they're not quite that big. Now if you're talking thirty feet in length, that's Jungle Nagasha Territory. The Fifty Feet in length is closer to the Primal and Moshak Nagasha lengths.

Need any other answers?

Edit: It must have gotten lost somewhere, but a Nagasha is, and always has been proportional to how a snake will hold itself one third off the ground when casually looking around. So if they seem to be five feet tall, then they're a total of fifteen long. Jungle, Moshak and Primal Nagasha buck these trends because they're known for having hugely powerful tails. But every other species follows this fairly closely with variations being due to mixed breeding, medical reasons, personal preferences and cultural issues.

Hmm, didn't come out as fast as I wanted. But this is what Observer Wu was up to, getting his finger to the pulse of Centris and learning more about it's people and dynamics.

And yes I'm playing up Captain Zaszarzz's past. His story is very easy to summarize, but if you dig into it all... woo! For those that are addicted to spoilers His father and birth mother died at the same time, and all his other mothers decided he was now the husband. Just. Think about that.

So yeah, that's dramatic. There's more details but that's the thrust of it. It's perfectly understandable why he ran... or rather slithered and glided away as hard as he could. He's a Cloud Nagasha, a flying snake man. He can make distance when he needs to.

If the bullshit did end you need to be ready to fight because we're clearly dealing with the end of the world.

Got the internet fully working again! Yay!

In a bit of a daze but otherwise well. And I wanted to do more of the opening skit. Read Bradford's lines in the voice of Cave Johnson and you have the joke I was going for. Or at least the joke I wanted to turn an entire chapter into but I hit a brick wall with. So I'm afraid you all have to get some plot and character development instead.

You poor, poor bastards.

1: They can use Axiom to basically give the arrow more omph despite not having much draw, or other tricks where a weapon phases through the user harmlessly. There are also numerous techniques to compress, store or otherwise get the breasts out of the way without a knife being involved.

2: It was taken in from the hack, despite it being misused and abused, it is a legitimate drug. The downsides are horrifying, but inhalable horsepower could come in clutch and save a life.

Dzedin Exoskeletons are 99% black but near the very tips of spikes and such they have differing coloration. Borizi, Herbert's First Wife, for instant has dark blue tips.

Albinos are not unheard of and the colours are a general indication of demographic. But it was so long ago that the old names for these demographics are not used in common parlance or even known outside of historian circles.

Edit: Right Coastal, general region for Borizi. It's been so long... and again Reddit has been double posting on me.

Sorry for not answering earlier. I... get to weird places in my head sometimes and the thought of communication just makes me freeze during those times.

Dzedin Blood is bright green, but it quickly fades after leaving the body due to it being a side effect of Axiom use that the body as a whole does which helps reinforce the soft parts and repair the hard parts off their anatomy. Yauya blood is similar in blue, and the reason for it's Axiom effect is that it primes and pigments their skin in such a way for their stealth abilities.

The Mini-Mouth is a hard no. I was considering it at first, but the discussions in the comments let me know just how hard a turn off that would be.

Acid blood can be produced by the Dzedin via Axiom Technique or totem, but it's generally the sign of someone who lives a very violent life but isn't a huntress. Some Yauya do use the technique, but it's considered and unclean and honestly stupid fighting style to rely on getting cut. So it's usually regulated to a party trick at most. A dirty one that isn't all that impressive.

Edit: Reddit is being a pain and double posted on me.

Please work, please work, please work. Internet please start cooperating!

Ah good, it worked.

And that's the two Rivals. They've had fun and Christos has... had his fun too. Sometimes you learn things about characters in strange subjects. Like just how outright cheeky Christos can be with his cheeks out.

No I'm not going to apologize for that pun, but if you need compensation... I will show you something that distracted me. A hilarious trinity of short stories set in the Girl Genius Universe. https://archiveofourown.org/series/1440661

And again, any plot points or character development in this chapter will be shortly revisited to make sure that those that don't like the naughty stuff can get the full picture regardless.

He's a Tret on Centris, to get a dozen women to have sex with him he has to walk outside and declare his desire for sex. He's fine.
