Bounie[edit]
Bounie (singular) / Bouni (plural). Klahn (groups/families/societies/clans/etc.).
Physical Description[edit]
Bouni usually appear as a glowing humanoid form with some differences depending on their subrace and Klahn blood, but they also have a form that is closer to a human without the light show. All Bouni, no matter where they come from, have ears sharp enough to cut through anything not enchanted with their blood, including the strongest materials and fingers if not careful. They can include all colors the only limits being subrace and Klahn blood. They range from 6 ft to 8 ft and are usually even heights, some few have been recorded as 9 ft tall. There true height range will depend on subrace and Klahn blood. All Bouni are extremely slender most outsiders think it’s unhealthy, so it’s rare to find a Bounie that doesn’t seem like the bones are showing without showing, also they all weigh 0.008 grams.
History[edit]
Society[edit]
Most Bouni societies are tight nit on rules and failing to comply always leads into death even if your the child of the leader. They are cold to outsiders and tend to be shunned by most other races. Collectively all types of Bouni fall under a common rule different from the leaders in their Klahn, the way that ruler is followed though depends on the Klahn. This ruler is an Emperor/Empress sometimes both. They have a set ruling period and near the end if there is both an Emperor and an Empress they will have a child, Prince/Princess to be crowned, unless they have already had a child. If only one ruler all the Klahns come to compete for the right of hier. Which ever Klahn wins picks a candidate to breed with the ruler for the next ruler to be born. Though rulers aren’t specifically a Klahn they are known as one.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
Bouni despite the fact they glow aren’t necessarily ment to be seen unless it helps their purpose. They are tricksters and stealthy by nature, avoiding being seen unless necessary. Even while being tricksters some can be considered “good”/non-chaotic as that’s their way. All Bouni have specific Klahn beliefs but there is a few universal beliefs. They have two universal god/goddesses Unliie and Aquwein, they are twins and have no specific gender being called both god and goddess depending on area and context.
Unliie[edit]
Unliie is the god/goddess of Salt as a Bounie would say it, though it’s much more complicated than that. Most outsiders think it’s just salt though as that’s how Bouni respond when asked. Unliie is basically their destruction/void/abyss to say it in a more encompassing simple way. That is all the information that will be disclosed here.
Aquwein[edit]
Aquwein is the god/goddess of Sugar as a Bounie would say it, though it’s much more complicated than that. Most outsiders think it’s just sugar though as that’s how Bouni respond when asked. Aquwein is basically their creation/celestial plane/heaven to say it in a more encompassing simple way. That is all the information that will be disclosed here.
Bounie Names[edit]
All Bouni names are cosmo based using stars, constellations, planets, etc.
Male: Leo, Pluto, Mars
Female: Gemini, Sun, Saturn
