Humanoid (Siricatta Subtype) 0 RP
The Siricatta are relentless and intelligent hunters with a reputation for having a bad temper and a good record of catching their prey. Being as cranky as they tend to be solitary and keep to them selves. They enjoy studying and reading as it is an easy calming activity, they are actually far more intelligent than most would assume. As they are hunters they spend much time studying to understand the weakness of their prey and enemies.
Appearance
Siricatta are a varied race but consistently have brownish colored thick fur, that changes to white during the cold seasons. Siricatta that live near rivers are called Waterborn, their fur is slick when in water but dries quickly out of it. Like their Earthborn cousins they are often hunched over. The Earthborn are the far more common of the two, their fur is thick and dry to keep them warm. Siricatta claws are long , sharp and black and often used as weapons by the people . Their eye color tend to be a yellowish brown or other muddy colors.
Society
Siricatta are both solitary and clannish, Those that can't control keep their anger under control tend to live and hunt alone. Those that can live with others of their kind teaching the young to do the same. Hunting among the Siricatta is considered a right of passage, a Siricatta both male and female only are considered adults after they get their first kill. All Siricatta are taught to track at the very least in preparation for their right of passage test, however how they go about hunting is up to them. Hunting is considered sacred to them, they waste nothing from any kill: Meat is either sold or eaten, Furs are traded with other races, even the bones find use as materials for weapons or tools. Siricatta clans are lead by the smartest or most capable hunter, an important qualification is being able to control one's frenzy, turning it on and off at will. Siricatta consider their frenzy both a curse and a gift: it grants them strength when need for difficult hunts or fights but often many Siricatta question if it makes them more man or beast.
Relations
Siricatta have a competitive relationship with Orcs and Dwarves, often getting into physical spars with them. They see all elves as invaders who warp the environment around them, and have no true respect for nature. Gnomes and other fey like beings are feared, many Siricatta fear them due to Siricatta lore and stories although some can get past the fear after spending time around Gnomes. They see Kobolds and Goblins as destructive vermin. They try to maintain a decent relationship with humans who are pretty much everywhere. Halfings are often frightened of Siricatta and their sudden outbursts, however past that they get along well. Siricatta dislike slavery , seeing it as a perversion of the natural order as well as being lazy in turn they usually dislike members of those races that support such actions.
Alignment and Religion
Siricatta usually worship the deities of nature, due to their love of hunting and in turn of nature. Siricatta have little focus in terms of alignment : some are Lawful maintaining trade and respecting those laws, while other more solitary Siricatta are barbaric berserk hunters. As far as morality goes they fear evil and darkness, some fight against it.
