	Lu'Poxii is a term for a person who is a '''rival, and potent arch-nemesis'''. This is not just any hatred, it's a special non-platonic form. A Lu'Poxii thrives on rivalry, and the purpose of this relationship, when healthy, is to grow, as well as one-up each other. Admiration of the others' positive aspects and abilities is required, not only annoyance at their negative qualities. Lu'Poxii often fail when one partner is frequently better than the other and gets no challenge out of it. Tormenting, taunting, and terrorizing ones' Lu'Poxii is fully acceptable in this dance of antagonism, but doing irreversible harm to them is unwanted, least of which because one would be much less happy without a rival to challenge them. Oddly enough to other races, Lu'Poxii are just as capable of living under one roof as a Qu'Poxii, resulting in a fierce and competitive home environment. It is somewhat complicated for multiple Lu'Poxii to come together in a relationship like this, but it is not unheard of.

	=== Raising Children ===		=== Raising Children ===
	Children are still rare in Skrell societies due to the ~~Genophage~~, and the birth of one is often regarded as an extremely joyous occasion for a lot of people even outside the union itself. Skrell are very enthusiastic to take care of them, and often treat children as a '''personal project and creation''' in which every member of the newly-born family is very deeply involved. Parents constantly over watch over their child, steering, guiding and being protective of them every single step of the way. To humans, it may appear as a horrible authoritarian grip. For Skrell, however, this is completely healthy and normal - the few children that the Federation gets should not be wasted, but instead be carefully grown into model citizens occupying desirable and needed roles in society. Children themselves understand this as well, and only occasionally try to resist, instead choosing to trust the ones who watch over them.

	This, however, is only an ideal of a Skrell family that is not always attained. The fewer members there are in the union, the less opportunities there are to watch over a child, and because of it, they can be occasionally left to their own devices, developing independently. This is viewed as undesirable, and unions that want to reproduce often want to get as many members as possible.		This, however, is only an ideal of a Skrell family that is not always attained.

	The Skrell term for a person who is a chosen partner, friend, and mate. The romantic love Skrell feel can be rather unpredictable, comparable to the tides of the sea. Typically, the formation of Qu'Poxii heavily depends on the feelings of the Skrell in question. Some Skrell can spot their Qu'Poxii within a week of meeting someone, others may take several decades to fully probe every aspect of the person before calling themselves ready. Likewise, these bonds can have members temporarily or even permanently bow out depending on the 'tides of the heart' as well, this carrying no shame at all. Those who choose to become Qu'Poxii are not restricted to only two Skrell, a group of Qu'Poxii being known as a romantic union, or ~~[[Skrell_Families\|~~Quya]]. Polyamory is commonplace with those who have had strong connections with each other for years, often best friend groups will eventually elevate their relationship to this level simply out of necessity to reproduce and how close they have come to each other. Quya often involve deciding to create children with the others involved, where those in the relationship will raise the child until they leave for school.

	The Myaq'Lak are the caretakers of a Skrell's caretakers, be it either Qrri'Myaq or Qraa'Myaq. They are the "Grandparents" of skrellian society and share many of the same duties of a Skrell's actually caretakers. The role of Myaq'Lak is highly sacred and honourable, and those able to garner such a role, especially after '''X’Lu’oa''', are revered within their familiar clutches. They are tasked with passing down the knowledge from their ancestors to their descendants, usually in the form of song or poetry. In ancient skrellian, it directly translates to "Lorekeeper" or "Wise One" in reference to passing down knowledge from ancient times.

	Qrra'Myaqq are the siblings of a tadpole, which whilst common before the '''~~X'oa~~''' are far more rare nowadays. The stripping of skrellian fertility has proven for many Quya to actually be without Qrr'Myaqq, resulting in tadpoles really only bonding with their Qrri'Myaq. Those that do have Qrra'Myaqq find themselves much closer to one another than human siblings, due to the bilateral familial structure of a Quya. In ancient skrellian, it directly translates to "Tidebonded" or "Bloodbonded" in reference to sharing the same parents, or lineage.

	However, due to the highly complicated and sophisticated way that Skrell engage with each other, a ritual developed in early skrell history. Titled the '''J'ox'a''', or directly translated, “Duel”, this ritual is both very complex and very simple. After arranging a specific time and hour, two skrell meet and begin a simple exchange of words. To outsiders, it may seem like a game, but in reality, the two skrell are peeling back each other's mental layers. Through light nuances in headtail movements, psychic reverberation and voice intonations, the skrell truly establish their relationships.

	The '''J’ox’a''' is not taken lightly, as there is no lying or misunderstanding in the J’ox’a. Once it has ended, the two skrell will know exactly where they stand with each other, or if one of them was misleading the other. And through the J’ox’a they also establish which of them will be the F'ex'Qa or Egg-Cogenitors and F'ex'Tra or Egg-Progenitors if their relationship is to progress into reproduction. These two designations are usually temporary for the duration of the reproduction and can change over time.

	Romantically, physical affection is hugely important to Skrell. It is typical of Skrell families and friends to cuddle, hug, and otherwise be very affectionate without romantic intent. Coworkers will often work in extremely close proximity, which can make other species working with a large group of Skrell uncomfortable. As affection shifts from platonic to romantic, psionic affection bolsters physical affection. Intimate moments are very emotionally stimulating for the species, particularly with other psychics; it is known for individuals in a Quya to mutually, telepathically share the sensation of warmth, comfort and safety with each other to amplify the emotional feedback from physical bonding to often overwhelming levels.
