Political map for reference: [img]http://i.imgur.com/RXfhTz3.png?1[/img] [h3]Species of Nova Mondial List:[/h3] [i]Bombyx[/i]- breed of worm which excretes a silk-like substance for use in its cocoon. They are bred by the Cindorayi and then boiled to obtain the fabric. [i]Hawkynder[/i]- a fairly common bird-like species native to the western peninsula which is capable of being rode, though only by species as light as or lighter than the Cindorayi, due to their fairly delicate frames. They are however quite fast. Their beaks are short and straight, and unlike their kryan relatives are incapable of flight with their shorter wings and feathers, though their color patterns are often just as beautiful. [i]Dolphin[/i] - A very large sea mammal that the Arsuron use as a source of meat and whose bones can be used for building materials. [i]Domesticated Dolphin[/i] - The Arsuron's variant. Much smaller but still useful for meat and bones. Can be ridden by water breathing species like the Arsuron [i]Whale[/i] - a sacred animal to the Arsuron, called the "king of the sea". They are only hunted ceremonially [i]Bloodwood[/i] - a species of tree with dark red bark and a bloody red wood, the bark is able to be ground mixed with the oil from the tree's avocado like fruit's core to make dye. [i]Salmon[/i] - A fish native to the Arsur coast, the staple of Arsuron diet [i]Firefish[/i] - An amphibious species of fish with lobed fins that can function like primitive legs. It is thought that this creature might be related to the animal that evloved into the Arsuron's ancestors [i]Arsur Shark[/i] - Arsur and Lotus colony sharks are a nuscence and pest that attack fish migrations and mariculture farms. The Arsuron hunt and eat them when they get the chance. [i]Paper Reed[/i] - before the discovery of wood, this grassy plant was used for building. Its strong enough to be tied into bundles for building, and light enough to function as boats. It was later found that the pulp could be cut into thin slices and woven into paper. [i]Guppy[/i] - an herbivorous fish used as bait in fishing [i]Teskur[/i] - A tall, wildebeest-like creature. It stands around 5 feet at its shoulders, sometimes taller. Instead of horns or antlers, it has two long tusks extending from both corners of its mouth. Though it's a cowardly animal, occasionally the teskur will attack. Because of its long tusks and tendency to charge straight towards an attacker, they can be dangerous. They are very common animals, mostly found up north or around the lake in the forests and plains, but typically travel alone. [i]Kryan[/i] - A large, strange bird comparable to both an ostrich and a dodo bird. It has big long wings that almost seem too large for its body. Despite its large size, the kryan is perfectly capable of flight. The majority of its body is covered in strange, fur-like feathers. Its wings and tail, however, are clad in long, beautiful feathers. Kryan almost never attack, preferring to run on their surprisingly agile legs or take flight. Even so, a mother kryan may yet still defend its eggs or children from any attackers. Kryan are armed with huge, curved beaks. These animals are uncommon, and maybe difficult to find. [i]Mascuss[/i] - Their height at adulthood is about 70 feet tall. They live to be about 160 years old on average. The Mascuss appear to be fungi organisms that have the ability to use long, sticky tendrils to lure animals as a food source. How the Mascuss captures and eats its prey is still a mystery. They are nocturnal and emerge from the forests at night, waiting for something to come by and brush against its tentacles. In daylight, they slip back into the tall swampy forests and hide in the mud. [i]Ferf[/i]: A species that would look like a anteaters head stuck on a wolfs body. It's trunk is handy for sucking brain matter and bone marrow. Native to forest area's, but are now beginning to show up in deserts. [i]Thith[/i]: A rodent species that has little meat. Looks like a cross between a rat and a hare. Native to forest environment, but are also moving to the desert. [i]Semph[/i]: A bush plant that has a density that humans would recognize as tomato-ish, but with an apple flavor. Domesticated by the Herenthor and a favorite food of the Thith. [i]Ogurk[/i]: Similar to a cross between a wild boar and a bison, a big hulking creature that lives in herds. Both genders have intricate tusks and horns on their heads but males have much larger ones. The Ogurk mainly live in plains and just eat grass since grass is abundant there, but some live in different environments and their diet changes to accommodate it. [i]Jek[/i]: Cold-weather sister species to the Ogurk, they have much thicker fur and populate much of the northern tundra. [i]Klouskops[/i]: Trees that grow to an average size of 50 feet in height and a diameter of 6 feet with many branches coming off of them, creating something of a black web expanding all over the forest. The leaves that grow off of the klouskops are black, hence the evolution of Night-Walker skin coloration. The branches, especially the thicker ones, are quite sturdy, and are used by the Night-Walkers to build huts on. The leaves and branches often leave the most wooded areas with little sunlight, and thus have developed a form of photosynthesis using the top of the tree as a "collector", delivering the necessary materials down to the rest of the tree. [h3]My sheet:[/h3] Name of Race: Cindorayi Pic/Description (either one, but both is preferred): The Cindorayi are a fairly tall (six feet on average) bipedal species that are primarily humanoid with catlike characteristics, including claws, body fur, arched backs, and agile legs good at leaping. They are omnivorous, but tend to prefer fish. Race Bio (personality, etc.): The Cindorayi are predominantly characterized by their standoffish and aloof attitude to the world outside their civilization. They are unlikely to intervene in the affairs of others. They are also defined by their preference for logical thinking, and tend to regard emotional concepts as lesser ideas. In Cindorayi culture females are generally accepted as having greater authority than males. Females perform most of the "higher" or thinking professions of society, while males perform most of the menial labor. Traditionally, the Cindorayi worship the moon. They begin as a nomadic group. Location on Map: On the western peninsula, just past the small inlet in the center. Within a large forest. Techs (specifically those not already given): Small boats, rope. --- List of Characters: Lunysvet- the former Great Elder of the Cindorayi tribe Ekatyrina- the First Citizen of the new Cindorayi Republic Viktorya- Scientific councilor Andrei- Agricultural councilor Ksenia- Planning councilor Sonya- Foreign councilor Miroslava- Defense councilor Tatiyana- Spiritual councilor Nadya- one of the few Cindorayi hunters Artyomu- main cook Rajah Perumal XVII (the 17th): Self-proclaimed King of the Cindorayi List of Places: Lunysvet: capital of the Cindorayi Republic Zemlyarod: Second major town Tyrnovuna: Third major town Lunaris: capital of the Cindorayi Kingdom
