If we restart, i'll almost certainly scrap the Arsuron and try something else, but i'm neutral either way

I have a NS in the works; @Lightning Fast and I are collaborating on a shared history between our nations and checking each other's sheets and histories to mesh everything together

After The Plague - A Stone Age/Rebuilding NRP

Name (of tribe):
Tuaha

Race (Just name here, race form below):
Corvines

Population (There was just a massive dying and it's the stone age now... think small, max about 700):
75

Organization (How is your tribe led? Is there a religious leader, war chief, etc.):
Corvines based their society on the animal that serves as their totemic spirit, the Crow. Corvines as such, have a society based on family clans within the tribe, with each family having around of 7 living members at a time. The Clans have a kind of loose confederation without a defined leader, acting almost as a anarchic commune governed by emergent behavior.

History (We start the RP a few years after the plague, so how did your people find and group together? How is your tribe doing today? Preferably 1 paragraph):

The swampy forest of Vaal is not a particularly inviting area, but it was an area of dense forestation, where there were plenty of animals to hunt, and secluded areas to wait out the plague. The forests were far to hostile to settle along the ground, and incapable of being treked far on foot. The settlers who fled to Vaal learned ways of finding food and traversing the swamps, building bridges between trees, and watching the birds, particularly the Crows, who lead them to food sources, and finding places to build treehouses for settlement.

As the independent settlements grew, they began to intertwine with one another, slowly merging into a single settlement covering the entire Vaal Swamp Forest, the influence of the crow upon the newly forming society was beginning to show more, with the new settlers beginning to mimic the lifestyle of the Crow, follow its behaviors, and dress in ways that mimic its appearance.

Religion (what your people follow, and gods may help in game occasionally. Explain the god(s) they believe in):
Totemism is central to the Tuaha, who believe that the Crow is the holy animal of the entire tribe, and that the gods use the Crows of Eren as intermediaries with mortals. Each Tuahite is belived to have a Crow connected to their soul, two beings locked together at the soul, and if one dies, the other goes with them. As such, it is known that the Tuaha are especially protective of all corvids, seeing them as holy animals. Other Birds are also considered holy, especially birds of prey.

The Tuaha do not have a concept of an afterlife, nor of divine morality. They consider the Gods of their people to be Avian figures beyond the scope of the world. They did not create the world, rather they brought life to a barren reality that exists without beginning or end, and work to maintain the life they have created. In this, it mirrors the way that birds were vital to the survival of the early colonists of the hostile Vaal Forest.

Shelter (Do your people live in treehouses? Caves? Tepees? etc.):
The Tuaha live in sprawling Treehouses interconnected via bridges and pully elevators to move from tree to tree. Each Tree is a small settlement in its own, with many houses across the massive trunk of the tree.

Location:
The Vaal Forest-

Location on Map

Wildlife/Geography (What kind of nature do your people live in/around?):

Vaal is a densely forested area that covers marshlands, that have only become more toxic and wet following the growth of thousands of conifer trees. The area is pretty devoid of any plant life save for trees, but its swampy lands are filled with fish, who feed upon the algae that collects in the swamp waters. The fish attract small predatory animals such as rodents, snakes, canids and frogs, who are fed upon by the apex predatory birds. Pigs are also known to frequent the swamps to hunt rodents and fish as well, their corpses are frequently fed upon by crows and alligators.


The Canopy is a much more inviting area, primarily inhabited by birds and raccoons. This area is dominated by the Tuaha, who have turned it into a large settlement spanning the entirety of the canopy. The Tuaha are known to make excersions to the swamp floor to hunt pigs and alligators, as well as set up fishing camps.

Race Sheet:
Name: Corvines

Changes:
The Corvines were affected most notably in their development of wings. They sprouted out of a mutation that essentially created extra pairs of useless arms, but eventually began to develop into winged appendages rather quickly. Less obviously is the effect that it had on the Corvines' skeletal and muscular structure. A trade of began, with the skeletons becoming lighter and more brittle, with hollowed bones for flight capability, and a much more powerful muscular system, allowing for the necessary strength to fly.

Corvines were also affected mentally, beginning to lose the traits that made them think like humans, developing something closer to the mentality of the corvidae, particularly Crows. It is very prominant to anyone who would meet them. In that vein, it has made them both more adventurous, and much more hostile towards outsiders, attacking anyone who strays too close to the Vaal Forest.

Appearance:

Female Corvine

Advantages: Flight, an improved muscular system much stronger than a humans
Disadvantages: Brittle Bones, increased internal and external aggression, disorganized social structure
Lifecycle:
Corvines reproduce and are born as humans are, though they are often born in greater numbers than humans, usually 3 per pregnancy. When they are children, the corvines do little more than wander the tree villages, and watch what the adults do. Around the age of 12, they are sent into the swamp to begin the trials of age, to determine how well they can survive and provide for the tribe. This is also a test of the ability to fly, as it is necessary to return to the tree tops, as the elevators are closed off to those who have not completed the trials. To complete them, the Corvine must slay a Pig or an Alligator, and bring back its teeth to the clan members. Upon completion of the Trials, the Young Corvine will select a mate, who they will fight in a ritual battle to determine their worth to each other. If they find each other suitable, they will settle with each other, and live in the home settlement of their clan. The battle also determines what clan the couple will integrate into, that being the clan of the winner.

Corvines live typically about 55-60 years, but the oldest have been recorded at 80
