YACURUNA
Yacuruna (YAK-A-ROO-NA) The term is derived from the Quechua language, yaku ("water") and runa
("man").
The Yacuruna are an aquatic race that
originates from Croatoan. They found themselves relocated to the Amazon rain forest
to one of the mysterious black lagoons located there. They exist in a tribal
culture, preferring to remain isolated from other societies. They are ruled by Chief
Amauta. He has a shy princess named Api and a close advisor named Qawa.
They
are a society of warriors and farmers. They have used their natural strength and
sharp talons, as well as proficiency in tool making, to carve a whole labyrinth
of networking underground caves accessible from under the lagoon. They farm
various underwater vegetation for consumption, as well as live on the meat of
the various local fish life.
They
have domesticated crocodiles, and the warriors prefer to use black ones for
travel sometimes as well as to frighten oncoming threats. They have also
domesticated boa constrictors. This is due to their limited telepathy. They obviously
have their own language, but mostly communicate with their telepathy.
They
have the natural ability to heal others and themselves. They cast limited illusions
to protect themselves. Basically, creating a perception filter so others don’t
notice them and at times casting an illusion to appear physically different, hence
why the legends claim they have fur or backwards feet. Those illusions are to
scare away unwanted visitors.
They have wide
mouths full of razor sharp triangle teeth, wear loin cloths of seaweed and
shells, pierced fins and water proof tattoo marks. They can completely turn
their heads around to look backwards, like in the legend. Certain tattoos and piercings
mean certain things.
