The KIDS of Nakti
(KIDS is any word for children among Tribes)
Appearance:
KIDS appear as 2-3ft Balls of fluff, being a Gerbil they are bright and intelligent. Standing on two legs and hopping around on all fours at a much faster clip then their waddle on two feet. Happy and cheerful unless scared, anger is even almost unheard of from them. Cuteness is their evolutionary advantage, they naturally mimic the behavior and habits of children. Much like the Cuckoo Bird mimicing the cry for food the others use, KIDS rely on their childlike appearance and habits to illicit a parental response.
Very cute and friendly, like very cute and friendly. They evolved to be childlike or infant like in features, large eyes big head full of expression. This is their strength, they are playing on one’s instincts to protect and nurture a child. They age but never really look different, always being little cute things, only a slight silver muzzle fur distinguishes an seinor among them.
Behavior:
Childlike and incredilbly cute, but their behavior changes by tribe to tribe. KIDS mimic the behavior of children, adapting to the social order. Some tribes will have baby like KIDS while others will be more mature or even warrior like. Positive attention and nurturing are what they thrive on and will use their cuteness and child like nature to seek such. This is also a ploy, they are eating and living for practically free, doing minimal work and goofing off inciting laughter and smiles. The speciesis almost a parasite as they freely move and breed without limit, having a litter of maybe 4 or up to 10. They breed fast and are mature in only 5-8 years but live to be 60-80 since they have such a cushy life.
As long as people like children they most likely will like they and allow them to live around or in their homes Balls of fluff and cute like a pet taking up space but able to talk and contribute by doing chores.Habits evolved to invoke a parental response. The species survival is assured as people identify them as children and no one is going to let a baby or child get hurt or killed. Running to any adult and seeking protection if danger approaches which most people will defend them.
Many people have grown up with them as their lifespan is comparable to most. Having one around growing up Makes them seem like family and more defended Many people will die to protect family and KIDS hide among the women and children So no matter what KIDS will survive as long as people do
Kids are as smart as anyone but use their habits to avoid work and go play.This makes them not too educated. Some are more academic but the majority are lazy.
Distribution:
KIDS can be found all over Nakti. People often have them when traveling in caravans allowing them to colonize most of the known tribes. KIDS live wherever they find a safe location among people, or even in many people’s homes. Most people are just happy to seem them as they are so adorable.
Sexual Habits:
KIDS Breed in the Spring as they come into season, females being irresistable to males. Sex is enjoyed around the year and even with other tribes. Of course this means they have to be gentle and not too large as the KIDS are smaller then most. Sexual preference among KIDS is only specifically Hetero when mating seaon comes. Sex is private unless coaxed into the open by others, sex is brief and frequent in small rapid mounts creating squeaks and chattering.
Breeding:
Being small 2-3ft they chitter and make cute noises another adaptation as they found many people thought it was adorable or cute Most people let them live in their barn or under houses, having a litter of 5-6 up to 10 the young are like most feral babies. Blind and needing care, which is enhanced when people go "Awwww" and help greatly once again assuring survival.
========================
History:
KIDS have a long history as any culture and species on Nakti do. Growing up as a species they were struggling until they encountered another tribe who took a liking to their habits. Getting help and safety as they asked for and traded for food and luxuries as fire, metal tools and the like. The race’s growth would of been slow and grinding as any climbing to civilization but seeking help from another race’s higher growth they overstepped their shortcommings.
Culture:
Kids have their own culture of written and verbal history, many of them are humorous tales. They also adapt their habits to the culture nearby to assimilate into the tribes nearby. If alone they build mud huts and live a pretty primitive life compared to other tribes. They speak their own language, it’s verbal and accompanied by chitters and chirps and other sounds to add more feeling or emphasis to their words. KIDS also learn and use native tribal languages and chirp and chitter as well being cute to most.
Around others in towns they have their own system of leadership. They respect and revere the elders and comply with requests the same as a little brother would if younger. Females are loved and protected as well as more physical in visual habits, such as grooming and chittering and hugging.
KIDS love physical attention and spend a good amount of time grooming eachother. Cuddling and kissing, sleeping together and playing with local children. Children of many Tribes love the KIDS as playmates, they kind and patient and happy to play most games if they are able. Jokes are also a big topic among them, learning jokes and riddles are a hobby to many.
Occupations:
KIDS take on a large variety of jobs, mostly focusing on acting and performing. Many create an acting troupe and some are well known for their plays. Being cute and always performing on and off stage they are a favorite among kids.
Some collect the shed fur from nests and homes, the hair is actually quite valuable. People use the hair to weave with, the long fine fluff of KIDS makes warm attire. KIDS will also weave the hair themelves in goods to sell or trade.
Combat:
KIDS do not engage in combat unless absolutely necessary, saving their babies or mates or family. If possible they will run to the nearest tribal native and seek refuge from the assault. Most will help and protect them as they would any innocent or child.
Oddities:
Some KIDS have been known to be the odd one who is mean or steals. These KIDS are tattled on if any other KIDS see them do such. Tribes will usually banish or hold them to trial of local justice. Odd fur patterns occasionally happen as well, spots or even stripes are not unheard of.
Blindness strikes a large portion in old age, around 25% end up being blind by the time they hit around 50. They can deal with this well as other KIDS will help them out and their scent and hearing are quite good making up for some of it.
Aditional Info:
Most personalities for KIDS are very emotional and childlike. Sugary sweets and honey are favorites of them, many love food to the point of becoming fat. Cubs are always watched by their parents, males know their family by scent and young look to both for food and support. KIDS do mate for years but seasonal mating they can find other mates. Partnerships are quite variable as many races are, some are monogamous while others form polyamory relationships.
Names for kids are usually cute sounding as parents pick them specifically to sound nice or cute. Kipper, Di Di, Peeps, Winky, Tanka are all names chosen as well as many many more cute names. Kids love flowers and berries and will plant them whereever possible and if available. Singing often the KIDS will often hum or sing as they walk down the path or working next to a mom or adult. The singing most of the time is welcomed as they sound cute at their higher pitched voices.
