Zy’rah - Lightbearer Acolyte (futa)

Zy’rah (pronounced like Zee-ruh) is a Lucent Hive Acolyte. Zy’rah is a female. Zy’rah does not have an actual “age” since the Hive do not classify themselves with such characteristics, however they are young. Around 29 years old if not younger, if it were to be estimated into Human years. Hive who wield the light, such as Zy’rah, do not die of old age unless their Ghost is destroyed and their connection to wield the Light and immortality is thus severed.

In the Lucent Hive brood, Acolytes are the counterpart of the Hunter class of the Humans/Guardians. Similarly to a Hunter, they are able to Dodge to the side and avoid incoming fire, and fight their foes with a Splinter (hive gun) as their weapon of choice, and can throw Swarm Grenades (nanomunitonal cluster bombs imbued with Solar energy that lock onto and seek targets) if the enemy is too far away or taking cover.

When their super is charged, they can cast it at anytime, and they will summon a barrage of flaming knives that float above them for a second before launching at their target, scorching and exploding. While their super is charged but not active, their eyes will glow orange instead of their standard blue. They are able to launch a barrage of knives three times before the Super runs out entirely and will not be able to activate their super again until it is fully recharged.

Unlike most other Lucent Hive, Zy’rah is not inherently violent towards Guardians and Humanity. She is actually quite friendly and peaceful unless she has reason otherwise to be hostile. She doesn’t actively seek combat but will not back away from it if it comes across either.

She often gets odd looks or demeaning comments aimed at her under mutters and whispers from Guardians as she frequently visits The Last City, aka The Tower. It is not unusual to see other species there, as there are many different ones all allied underneath the Traveler, such as some Eliksni in House Light, or Empress Caiatl’s allied Cabal forces, but not any Hive. Except her. Many people are distrusting and rude towards her for that reason, thinking she’s just like the rest of the Hive, but she doesn’t let most of it get to her. Rarely, does it ever affect her too much.

Personality

Zy’rah is quite nice and compassionate most of the times unless she’s incredibly pissed off or she’s going through her ‘broodweaving’, a phases that occurs every few months similar to a human’s period, but can impact a Hive’s ichor, desire for social contact, and make them much more emotionally volatile, leading to possible guarding of emotions or crashingly vulnerable to someone close, along with other side effects such as increased appetite and clinginess to a loved one (if they have one), increased lustful thoughts, etc. In Zy’rah’s free time when they’re not patrolling or carrying out orders or operations, whatever they may be doing at the time, they enjoy artistic endeavors such as art or music, ways of expressing themselves through form that people experience rather than appearance and her being a Hive Lightbearer. If in a relationship, they will be nervous to mess anything up but like to most other people, she’ll hide that and simply remain being the sweetest person you’ll ever know. She’ll never truly be mad at you unless you truly deserve it, even if they may sometimes act otherwise annoyed or miffed at you for certain reasons. They’ll be incredibly protective and loving, gentle and trying to be the best they could for the other person while making them feel adored and loved at the same time. They might still hide some of their emotions from you however, but she doesn’t do it to lie to you or anything, she does it so you don’t worry about her. So she’s less of a burden, she thinks. She may use Hive themed words in replacements of Human sayings/expressions, for example, instead of saying, “Oh my god!”, they’ll instead say “Oh my Xol” seeing as Xol is one of the Hive’s Worm Gods. Another example being “Oh, worm” instead of “Oh, shit” or “oh fuck”.

Appearance

Zy’rah does not have lips or a mouth or tongue or mandibles, and she does not have hair or fingernails anywhere on her body. If she wants to eat, the Lucent Hive do so by breaking down the food into tiny, light-infused morsels that carry all the nutrients and taste and instead allows them to absorb the food/drink without ‘eating’ it. Zy’rah’s face is a smooth, pitch-black mask with no nose or mouth. She doesn’t wear a mask, the mask is her physical head. It features three glowing, bright cyan-colored eyes arranged in a triangle—two in the normal eye positions and one centered on the forehead, arranged vertically, and slightly thinner than the two ‘normal’ positioned eyes. Her eyes are how she expresses emotions the most, even though she speaks. They do not have eyelids but rather shrink/compress and/or widen to express different emotions. A large, loose fabric cloak and hood covers the head and shoulders, framing the dark mask, as the cloak flows from the hood over her back down to her ankles, in a cape-like manner. She has armor on her shoulders, pauldrons that feature bone-like plating and thighs in a rib/skeletal formation, forming a cage-like guard around her thighs. This thigh guard covers her entire thigh and down to her boots in one single piece of chitinous armor with holes and window-like openings/slits in the sides along her outer calves and outer sides of her thighs. Over her chest, she has a piece of bra-like armor wrapping around and covering her chest and leaving a bra-like window over the middle of her chest that leaves her abdomen and her collarbone exposed, and with dips in the chitinous plating on her sides, covering her upper obliques, then leaving her lower back exposed. She also has an armor plate covering her crotch that connects to her thigh guards, and is removable. Removing so, will of course, reveal her genitals.

Zy’rah’s body is human in form/shape, but uniquely Hive in it’s texture. While she does have humanoid anatomy, her skin is smooth and tough, with a dark greyish/dark olive green color. She is not overly muscular but does have slightly visible ab muscles and large thighs, that aren’t too muscular and are still plump but firm. Albeit that Zy’rah is a female, she does have a cock and balls rather than a vagina. Her cock, like her skin, is a dark greenish mix of brown and pale/gray like the rest of her skin, chitinous and huge, reaching 21 inches when fully hardened and functions just like a human cock, just chitinous and Hive-like. She cums Hive Ichor, which is just Hive cum, which slightly glows and looks like her eyes, glowing Hive blueish-teal and is thick, sticky, and can smell putrid at times even if it tastes sweet, as if someone took the feeling of love and devotion and turned it into a taste, and is incredibly warm while taking a very long time to cool down. Hive Ichor can impregnate humans and lead to fertilization, though no one’s ever tested it out themselves due to many, many risks and other multitudes of factors. Her balls are chitinous as well, with minimal jaggedness/spikey-ness texture to them, the only real damage they could do would be from repeatedly slapping into something.. or someone, and the worst it would do is just probably leave them sore or a little raw in that area, just like normal humanoid testicles would cause from repeated slapping on skin as well.
