+ | This is what, inherently, makes Bloodfeathers very different in how they choose their Nunh. Females often compete intrasexually for the right to mate. Their combat prowess, flexibility, strength, endurance, and ability (magical and/or physical) are major attributes that contribute to the female pecking order. Males have their physical skills considered second to their ability to child rear. Over generations, males are societally pressured to do camp chores such as cooking, child care, etc. Emotional labor also falls to males, who often act as the mediator between huntress fights, preventing conflict escalating to serious injury. This serious empathy also comes with a plague of problems, addressed later. A Nunh exemplifies this “nest-rearing” trait, and a fight between a Tia and Nunh is usually for show only. If the Tia loses, there are cases where tribe huntresses and elders overrule and depose the old Nunh. An outside who beats the Nunh may also be killed for trying to invade the nest and having none of the traits their society bred for a male to have. | ||

+ | Bloodfeathers remain sexually dimorphic, with males larger than females. Surprisingly, condors have a similar dimorphism, and are the largest of their kind. Seeking to emulate their kingly size, Bloodfeathers have increased in average size since their founding. Some of their most surprising changes were their sharper senses of smell and digestive system. Compared to other tribes, Bloodfeathers have stronger versions of both, able to sniff out decaying carcasses as well as eat them safely. Stiffer tails are a result from a mutation that weakened tail muscles governing lateral motion, making Bloodfeathers' tails less likely to do sweeping motions. And, purring noises are rendered impossible due to a loss of rigidity in the larynx. The other half that causes their inability to properly pronounce normal Miqo'te vocalizations is simply cultural.<br> | ||
+ | Just by nature of being an isolated clan with very little influx of members, it's a given that some traits are more often seen than others. This can be Ginger-colored hair as well as heterochromia. Skin color always tended to run a gamut between all shades, a medium brown tone being most common, but drift did not remove dark or white tones from the range of skin colors. However, after the Calamity, many members lost the tans that darkened their skin, shifting average tone of skin to a lighter color. Constant cloud cover and a need to stay indoors to be safely warm is what keeps many from developing tans again.<br> | ||
+ | Female-identifying members are notably much more muscled and will sport short hairstyles. They have much more scarification tattoos as well as warpaint, signifying their accomplishments and standing within the tribe. Traditionally, face, shoulders, forearms, and leg flanks were scarified, with any of aforementioned regions being painted. With Coerthas' biting cold, traditional fighting and gatherings have been adapted to be performed indoors or in deep summer, when a huntress can safely brave the weather to show off her tattoos and paints during ritual. Extensive tattoos are seen as a sign of inner strength and tolerance, and males are not really expected to get extensive scarification tattoos, opting for more complex paint markings. Extensive paint is masculine, while scars are more feminine in their culture. | ||

Before the Calamity turned it into the tundra it is today, it was a lush highland area, sporting a few different types of prey and predator as well as a bounty of different herbs and edible plants. Being hunters, the summer and fall that the T tribe had arrived in were productive. Yet, they did not find an animal who decided to become their guide in the lands, a protector and patriarch. The spiritual leaders were at a loss, but they were thriving.<br> | |

The bounty of their new home stopped, with no way to pass the snowed-in mountain paths. Starvation times began as the winter deepened, prey hiding from the bitter cold. Some froze, others grew weak with hunger. And yet, the only animals that seemed to be thriving were the condors of the region, picking at the frozen corpses until they were too fat to fly. It infuriated the huntresses, to see the buff and blue birds leisurely picking at corpses.<br> |
