On a separate note, I don't think most would have the benefit of actually packing anything at this point, or even taking a breather - I'm imagining that every post is within a span of 1-5 minutes, maybe less - considering that a horde is on its way. Any more delays by doing some personal things like going back to their respective rooms and grabbing essentials would've resulted in the horde actually tearing down the makeshift barricade on the ground floor.
I'm icky about things in terms of chronological sense D; Soz if I'm annoying for bringing this up @@
(Uhh, maybe later when I redraw a tribal version of this...for now let's leave this as a placeholder)
The Uaru are a race of humanoid avians, with large beautiful feathered wings sprouting from their hips. With a wingspan of twice their physical height if stretched coupled by strong wing muscles, this allows the Uaru flight. When not in use, the wings can be neatly folded and tucked by the hips - often used as a means of warming up their bodies while they squat and huddle up. They are however, rather small in physical stature, with an average height of 4'4", visually similar that of a human child. This leaves them with less than desired physical strength, since most of their muscle mass are centered around their wings. Their facial features are effeminate and childlike, leaving it quite hard for many to idenfity an Uaru's gender. An Uaru's lifespan usually lasts an average of 50 years should they die of old age, but their physical features doesn't seem to age proportionately. However, the harsh life in the glacial mountaintops leaves many dead before their time.
Race Bio (personality, etc.): The Uaru are predominantly characterized by their sociable and accepting attitude to the world outside their civilization. The Uaru males tend to decorate themselves, the flashier they are - the more 'masculine' they seem to be. As such, Uaru males are oftenly the 'best-dressed' in any festivity. Uaru females tend to be less worried about their physical appearance in contrast.
As a nomadic society, they have an age old tradition of welcoming travelers and providing hospitable aid in their journey. Due to the relative distance an Uaru family lives apart to another family, visitors are an extremely rare occasion. As such, every visitor that makes way to an Uaru's tents usually calls for festivities of some sort. The Uaru pride themselves with a beautiful voice, similar to that of a human female's; high pitched but mellow and often uses their voice as a form of entertainment. Both genders share the same variation of voices, making it that much harder to differentiate a male and a female. Melodies orchestrated through the use of hymns are often sang accompanied by a howling wind.
Traditionally, the Uaruin worship the two entities that provide for them in the cycle of life and death; the Earth Mother and the Sky Father. The Earth Mother is a symbol of bounty of the land and life, where the mortal beings live - while the Sky Father is a symbol of fate and death, where the deceased shall be free from the nurturing warmth of the Earth Mother, and off into a distant journey with the Sky Father's guidance to their backs. They begin as a nomadic group, with a foundation of a hunter-gatherer people.

Techs: Through the tinkering of ballistic weaponry from which they first used javelins to hunt, the Uaru have began to understand the usage of the Bow.
Ah yes, definitely. I see what you're trying to say. I suppose my first few interactions will begin with the Rokthan, and maybe eventually to the west.
With that his room lost power, nothing better then a generator that doesn't work or mains that cut out. Walking out his small apartment he could see only devastation. Trotting down he found a small group of people in a room barricading the stairs "HEY! I need them to get to the street. The generators bust!" These people were weird, they were carrying guns and weapons. Strange town.
Dangit Error! You just cut off the power the GM gave us XD
