Welcome to Gaia! ::

Race Type :None -specific Humanoid by majority
Race Name: Suju (Adaptors)

Detailed Description: The Suju are know in surrounding lands as "superior adaptors", for thier everchanging features to seemlesly survive in almost any environment. They are usually catagorized by their humanoid forms in their largest colony/homeland, Shamvala.

History of Origin: As the world was still being shaped by the elemtentals, a certain race of unknown mammals were constanly forced to move, change, and adapt to thier constantly shifting surroundings. As of being some of the first beings to walk the newly created land, they are unable to use magic in any way; but with the fine tuning of hundreds of thousands of years of adaptation, the Suju became somewhat shapeshifters. They are usually identifiable in their longest populated territory, but are know to take the form of the superior species of whatever land they move to, only noticable by being signifigantly larger than the original species.

Specialties: Survival in the most unforgiving conditions
Combat: None specific (everchanging)
Alignment: whu?
Climate/Tirane: None Specific / Tropic in Shamvala
Key Cultural aspects: Very passivly territorial.(You can try to live amung them, but must strictly follow their instinctual laws/known duties.
Any Further Information Needed: These apply to the Shamvalans
Strengths:
Dense skin: feels normal but you'll need extra effort to get through it.
High Jumps: average jump goes to about 10 feet
Incredible speed: average max speed at 32 mph
True Instinct: that's been covered somewhat
Formidable strength: average Shamvalan could lift around 500 pounds
Avid Learners: In battle, they quickly pick up on enemy habits, though they still can be tricked.

Weaknesses:
Large targets: If you're looking for one you'll see them coming; in the day at least.
Too trusting: they aren't hostile unless you give them a reason to be, so wallking up on one for an assassination is possible who haven't already angered them.
Pride: They'd rather fight you head on than sneak up on you at night, they want you at your best for more glory. They even fight umongst themselves, in small numbers of course.(sort of)



Race/Peoples: Suju
Color: Black/African, Caramel, few white or albino
Elemental Influence: The elementals recognize them as the natural born protectors of the true earth/land.

Help us Understand: much of what you would see in a African tribe, technology is very rare due to their famous primal instincts. They have no central government or ruler, because they are each very individual; despite them always having the same views on certain issues.

Show us: They are poeple who live their lives primarily on instinct, then pride. They also observe their surroundings, to ensure their
Celebrations: The defeat or obliteration of a culture that upsets the balance of nature.

Distaste: Unnatural actions, such as industry that taints the earth.
Worship: Not as much worship, but have a substancial, unchanging respect for life and the earth. (life, despite the fact that many of the species they protect are also prey to them.)

Anything Else: An IMPORTANT note I'll try to cover is that in thier homeland, Shamvala, they are like humans in appearance, but much larger. Humans have heavily influenced the way Shamvala came to be, but have had no effect on their core beliefs, traditions, and ways of life. (man is this hard to describe)

Also very important point is thier famous animal instinct I like to call "TI" or "True instinct". This has variuos forms though I will cover the main two.

Short TI is easily described as the equivilent of spider sense from Spiderman. For example, have you ever played with a dog that keeps it's distance or doesn't know you? You can't ever catch them because it's like they just always see you or what you threw at them coming. They won't know what it is, or where it comes from, just that they know exaclty where they're standing is a dangerous place, and dodge accordingly.

Long TI is part of thier adapting nature, whether in a familiar or unfamiliar setting, they go by instinct and follow what to do. An example would be if a wolf in the tundra crosses a stream. By instinct, it knows to like the wet parts of it's body to prevent icing and frostbite. (This is one is WAY harder to describe.)

They can be, but first something you must know my vague post hasn't really covered yet. In Shamvala, their largest known homeland, they are best described as large humans ( in appearance) from the influence humans had on them. Anywhere else, they most likly will take the form of the best survivor, whether it be predator or prey.

Just know that no matter what, they rarely eat plants unless prey is scarce, even in the form of a seemengly helpless animal, like a rabbit It's vague i know but if i could draw them you'd understand completely. Another example is Kimora from the RP we did a while back (if you remember).

YES there you go. Just to be clear they often take the best of the best from each animal for survival to progress easier.
And NO, they don't stay near humans, well not anymore. Humans used them as powerful animal allies in wars, wether willingly or unwillingly. They eventually killed their human allies, those specifically that caught onto the industrial type revolutions.

This is usually becuase the technology such as engines and whatnot damage the envorinment, which doesn't sit right with them. They're basically powerful, deadly, big, fast, and extremely dangerous tree huggers.

Well I wrote their strengths and weaknesses but I guess I'll add on to the bottom about the specifics. It's just a short list, and as far as weaknesses go, they can't use magic and VERY rarley use technology. Not that I want them to be all powerful but you better come locked, and loaded if you want to take them down. But givin what I know of the human capabilities, they and humans would be rivals in war, smarts against age-old instinct. (They learn pretty fast in a fight if anyone got the wrong idea of them just being dumb but dangerous animals.

okay

Why is it that you talk down to me whenever I'm new to somethin', you're actin like saying something just isn't enough. Remember you place boy.

it's easy just talk like a white guy, they know how to talk without offending people. Niqqas on the other hand, talk like they wanna fight a the time if you think about it, but I think we should get back to the subject at hand. What have i missed, because, of course, I won't see what's worng cuase I wrote it.

Kazuki? Whos that? Got a lady friend I see.... But no seriously you shouldn't talk mister thong. whee
