naoi
This race is mortal.
Native to Ekzon-ra, Naoi were created by the Goddess Niare during the creation of the World, long ago, to accommodate to the harsh, devastating Realm that they live in. They are a tough race, who’s signature traits in appearance is the dark or tanned skin, and muscular or very fit builds, with typically earthy tones of hair colour. The males are usually very intimidating, rough folk. And the females are, actually, no better; being rather like Amazons, they are actually considered to be even more intimidating then their male counterparts at times. Both genders of the race follow the one, true personality trait that runs through every vein of blood in a Naoi; battle.
Perhaps it would seem odd to have created a race specialized for battle in a World that was meant to be a utopia, but for Niare the Warrior, it was a debatable choice. She was a stubborn, stick-to-the-plan kind of fierce, Amazonian women, and she always believed that every world needed a strong foundation of warriors to form an Army. The Naoi race stays true to this, despite the fact that they are not the sole Army in the World and have not been for quite some millenniums. Each Naois is generally always instated in the army; save for children, the elderly or the unable. While supposedly set in strong foundations of the military districts, Naoi are still a distinguishably rough race who respect people based on strength that has been proven. They’re exclusive and normally unwelcoming to the other races.
Naoi have senses that can only be described as ‘enhanced’. They can see, hear, smell, and feel, better than most of the other races. Their speed and strength were not genetically altered by Niare, however, as she always disliked having typical strengths in a race, and much preferred warriors to survive through their sense alone. She also did not give them actual powers for this reason, as well. It would seem, even with the sense enhanced, that Naoi would be the weakest of the races. Their prowess in battle, however, normally surpasses all of the other’s and their talent for a good fight is undeniable.
SIGHT, Naoi can see over long distances, even to the finest detail. However, there weakness to balance this is that their sight is generally hindered in darkness. Naoi rely heavily on their sense of smell and hearing to overcome this weakness. More experienced and talented Naoi have been known to gain better sight in the darkness, however, and in some cases a few have been able to gain better sight than average.
SMELL, Naoi are able to smell someone from a considerable distance away. Through this ability Naoi are looked upon to be very good trackers, as the each of the races have distinct, different scents to each other that the Naoi pick up on.
HEARING, Naoi can hear whispers or low tunes that most cannot hear. More experienced Naoi can go into a meditative state and hear conversations from a considerable distance away.
FEELING, Naoi are very attuned to the atmosphere around them. They can feel when storms are brewing, when danger is approaching, or unusual shifts in the air around them.
The average life span of Naoi is one hundred and fifty years. Depending on lineage, however, some can live longer.
