Appearance
The males average in height around 5'6 to 5'8 while females range from 4'9 to 5'4. Body structure is lean. Black scalera with only rings of color for eyes gives the Bekkin a unique look. Their eyes are built to see and find magical energies. Tails are very rare to have, with most Bekkin having only tufts on their rears. Tails, if any, are short and fluffy in nature. Long legs and wide feet makes these creatures good runners. The most notable feature of the Bekkin is their ears, which might as well double as extra hands. Much like the tail of a monkey, the Bekkins' ears are prehensile; allowing them to pick up an hold things.
Life
Bekkin live in large communities, usually watched over by a council of 10. The council is always split between males and females, to give the best options to all. Males are not greater than females, and vice versa. The communities are somewhat advanced, known for making tech devices that can hold and store raw magic. Those with the keenest eyes are sent out to find where raw magic collects, fill up the devices and bring them back to sell. While they can collect and store magic, the Bekkin themselves do not use it, preferring technology to such things. It is simply a cash crop to them.
Bekkin are omnivorous, their diet consisting of fish, poultry, nuts, fruits, berries, and certain grasses. Their systems cannot handle red meats and it can make them rather sick.
Bekkin young are called Kines or Kinlets, until they reach age 15 and become adults. They are also nameless, until age 8, when they choose their own name. Bekkin live anywhere from 40 to 50 years. As they grow older, their eye color will start to fade and they will slowly lose their ability to see magics. Bekkin reach senior status at age 30.
Mates and Breeding
Males do not have a visible scrotum, with everything stored inside a simple slit/nook down there. Females have a normal vaginal opening.
While casual sex is a thing, the Bekkin hold a giant celebration/ceremony once a year to find a mate. Food and drink are plenty, and many species besides the Bekkin look forward to it each year. It is a party held for all. While most Bekkin would choose other Bekkin for a mate, interspecies relationships are not uncommon. Some see it as merely a giant 'looking for sex' party, but it truly is important to most Bekkin, who hope to find a mate for life.
Females carry the young. Also unlike many species, Bekkin females are able to utilize the sperm of other species to become pregnant. Strangely enough however, this does not cause Bekkin hybrids. The female will simply give birth to another Bekkin. This has yet to be studied.
