Verkije-Rigexi
Name: Verkije-Rigexi
Appearance Age: 408 (50 Earth years), an adult
Height: 142 cm
Weight: 34 kg
Eyes: vermilion (orange-red), yellow eyeballs (like all karangals)
Hair: maroon (dark red), longish
Complexion: reddish
Race: karangal
Sex: akkod (monoecious)
Verkije is rather tall for a karangal and is in very good physical shape. Ey has sharp facial features and body angles and eir hair is rather unkempt. Personality Strengths: Verkije is physically capable (for a karangal anyway) and is confident in eir abilities. Ey is also smart and adept at using eir far-walker abilities. At the start of eir journey ey is inexperienced, but learns to be quite knowledgeable during eir journey.
Fears and weaknesses: Verkije is devastated to learn that femehans have a device that can cripple far-walkers. Ey tries to get some sense into the femehan far-walkers who manufacture the item, but fails. Ey will then have nothing to do with femehans.
Constant traits: Smartness, adaptability, very manipulative no matter what.
Behavior: Verkije is curious and never ceases to try to find out things, even if it comes with personal inconveniences or even if finding out things would result in physical violence (chases that ey outruns).
Philosophy, religion and attitude: Verkije can't understand why other-walkers wouldn't believe em if ey said how things were. Ey doesn't respect femehan far-walkers (at least those that make the devices that cripple far-walkers) and comes to find during eir journey that falangezkas' far-walker abilities are vastly exaggerated. Background Parents: Verkije's parents were smart and capable karangals, but Verkije wasn't raised by them as ey was a far-walker and they were not. Instead, ey was raised by eir grand-alhem's sigbling, who was a far-walker and acted as eir master.
Childhood: Verkije's master helped em to develop eir far-walker abilities and didn't place much importance on physical skill as far-walkers don't really tend to do physical work. Verkije disagreed and trained eir body as well as eir mind, to eir master's distaste.
Adolescence: Verkije's master introduced em to the secrets of sex, which made Verkije irritated at the fact that there were no other far-walkers around.
Early adulthood: Verkije continued eir far-walker training, though ey was also busy trying to outdo other people in whatever skills ey wanted to practice at the moment. Ey ended up being the relem (father) to quite a few children, none of whom became far-walkers. Ey also bore one other-walker child, but left em in the care of the child's relem. It didn't take too long until ey decided to leave eir home and travel.
Verkije traveled to many karangal communities and met only four far-walkers, all of whom were much older than ey. Ey set eir master up with one of them, and the two eventually met and moved in with each other. Ey left behind emself more children whose relem ey was, as well as two children of eir own.
Adulthood: Eventually Verkije became too interested in the other races and decided to explore their world. The closest subjects of study were the wide-spread femehans. Eir first and mostly unfortunate contact was with a small village of femehans chasing a short femehan ankod. Ankods are sexless and thus unable to have children, so other femehans think they are useless, and since a considerable amount of stories depict how ankods are unbelievably crazy, other femehans are quite prejudiced toward them. Verkije saved the unfortunate ankod and became friends with em.
The two traveled together and found one strange person in another femehan village. Ey was approximately as small as a falangezka, but looked nothing like any race should have looked like. After some queries from eir master and the other older karangal far-walkers, they concluded that even though the strange creature was humanoid, ey was in fact a tarkaan. This fact was reinforced by the notion that the tarkaan remembered an incident when ey had met another tarkaan and felt the utmost offense at the other tarkaan's existence. Ey had fled from the other and felt depressed about that.
Verkije, the ankod and the tarkaan decided to go on a quest to kill all tarkaans they could find. This quest ultimately took them over and beyond South-Ice or the Limitless Glacier as the femehans call it. Besides themselves, their band of adventures came to contain a falangezka and two toppenrans.
Middle age: Eventually the ankod and toppenrans grew old and died, leaving Verkije, the falangezka and the tarkaan alone. The tarkaan eventually perished in a fight with another tarkaan, who was so powerful that there simply didn't seem to be a way to kill em. However, the powerful tarkaan was content with making Verkije and the falangezka swear to leave em alone.
Retirement: With the tarkaan dead, both Verkije and the falangezka figured that it was time to go home. The falangezka stayed in South-Ice and Verkije headed back to eir home community. Ey got there just in time to see the partner of eir late master die. They had not managed to have any far-walker children.
Verkije tried to build a family again and this time actually took part in raising eir children, whether ey was the relem or alhem. None of eir children or children's children turned out to be far-walkers, which was very disappointing to em.
Elderly age: One by one, Verkije watched as the members of eir family line died without having made even a single far-walker child. Now ey is infertile due to eir age and eir only "heir" is Arike-Rigexiti More Birthdate: summer

Lehahel
Name: Lehahel (no family name, because ankod)
Appearance Age: 168 (22 Earth years)
Height: 151 cm
Weight: 39 kg
Eyes: sky blue
Hair: pale cyan-gray, shoulder-lengt
Complexion: very pale gray
Race: femehan
Sex: ankod (sexless)
Lehahel is very short for a femehan and even for an ankod. Ey is cute, very bright-eyed, round-faced and seems happy. Eir body is in very good shape. Personality Strengths: Most of the time, Lehahel is quite skilled at seeing the bright sides of things and acts optimistic. Ey strives for better knowledge of eir own physical limits.
Fears and weaknesses: Lehahel has a mild bipolar personality disorder (though femehans don't know of mental disorders as we do and instead just call ankods crazy). While ey is most often happy and optimistic, ey can become depressed in a matter of seconds, usually by thinking about something unpleasant that happened to em. The best way to get em out of eir depression is to threaten eir life or scare em. Sometimes Lehahel can argue back childishly.
Constant traits: Lehahel isn't one for spiritual searching or betterment, and ey thinks ey doesn't have to do it because ey is already smart – and because too much thinking usually causes a bout of depression. Lehahel gets along with children of all kinds. Ey tries to be rational and has fairly good sense of logic and common sense.
Behavior: Lehahel is friendly toward nearly all people ey meets. Ey also tries to improve other people's moods by talking about happy things or making jokes, though of course other femehans save for children couldn't appreciate it.
Philosophy, religion and attitude: Lehahel is a definitive optimist. As per Verkije and the falangezka's advice, ey doesn't even try to worship gods, though religion was something ey ran across a lot in eir home. Background Parents: Lehahel doesn't know eir parents; the femehans in eir home village raised em together, albeit reluctantly. Ey didn't die because no matter how much they thought ankods were crazy, they just couldn't let a child die, and when Lehahel started getting slightly less cute, ey could make it on eir own.
Childhood: As a child, Lehahel liked to play with other children. When they were very young, the children weren't quite as prejudiced.
Adolescence: As the children grew older, the others shut Lehahel out of their games and turned to violence. Lehahel learned to run away and became a good acrobat. Ey started learning how to get along by emself and learned hunting, gardening and hut-building on eir own. Ey constantly asked for instructions from the more knowledgeable people in the village and nearly always rewarded their good advice, even if they were disdainful and ungrateful toward them. Ey also continued playing with young and not quite so malicious children.
Early adulthood: Lehahel learned to be good at what ey did. However, when the people of eir village found out just how much ey was spending time with their children, they promptly started chasing em. Ey was saved by a karangal far-walker by the name of Verkije-Rigexi
Adulthood: Eventually a tarkaan, a falangezka and two toppenrans joined Lehahel and Verkije's party. They had many an adventure together and even traveled beyond the Limitless Glacier.
Middle age: Of their group, Lehahel was the youngest, biggest and still the first to feel the effects of aging due to their races' different lifespans. Lehahel chose to stay optimistic over that as well, but eir bouts of depression increased.
Retirement: When the children of the two toppenrans became adults, Lehahel was already quite old, but ey really had no reason to stop traveling with eir companions of so long. Even they said they didn't mind adapting to eir slower pace and other physical limitations.
Elderly age: Lehahel passed away in eir sleep far away on the other side of the Limitless Glacier. More Birthdate: spring

Sothalen
Name: Sothalen (a generic but rare femehan name, no family name obviously)
Appearance Age: youngish
Height: 146 cm
Weight: 48 kg
Eyes: irises white, eyeballs black
Hair: blue-green, rather spiky
Complexion: dark gray, very elastic, furry and spiky on eir backside
Race: tarkaan
Sex: –
Sothalen is humanoid in form. Ey has spikes on eir back and smaller ones on eir limbs. The spikes are extendable and extend when ey is having eir equivalent of an adrenaline rush.Personality Strengths: Sothalen is a smart and unassuming person, even for one having been raised by femehans.
Fears and weaknesses: Like all tarkaans, Sothalen hates other tarkaans and cannot tolerate their presence. Ey tends to overestimate eir abilities, but heals quite quickly and also learns when ey screws up.
Constant traits: Tarkaans are by definition malleable, and thus Sothalen has few stable traits. However, ey learned to live and talk like a femehan, and that is one thing that will stick with em.
Behavior: Sothalen is curious and friendly, though jerks and other tarkaans will soon find themselves on the wrong side of eir weapons.
Philosophy, religion and attitude: Sothalen, while ey deduced that eir sole destiny probably wasn't to kill all other tarkaans, thought that it was still a good idea. Eir view on life is thus to protect all the civilized races from the evils of other insufferable tarkaans. Background Parents: Like all tarkaans, Sothalen is blissfully unaware of eir parents.
Childhood: Sothalen grew aware in a forest, playing with animals who didn't want to eat em. Ey was then discovered by some femehans, who thought ey was a karangal or nakran because they didn't know how karangals or nakrans looked (except that they were small). Since they didn't know or find any karangal or nakran communities nearby, they took in Sothalen and raised em. Thus, Sothalen learned the ways of the femehans as well as how to speak the common tongue and Femen. Nevertheless, the femehans didn't try to force em to be a femehan and were clear about the fact that ey wasn't truly one of them.
Adolescence: Sothalen took decades to grow to eir full height of 146 cm, which was taller than a karangal should be, but the femehans didn't know that. The femehans were more amazed at how slowly ey grew, but didn't abandon em just for that. Sothalen felt like ey should physically train eir body arduously, so that was what ey did, and ended up being stronger than many larger femehans. Ey did a lot of physical work for the femehans.
Early adulthood: Once, when ey was hunting alone in the forest, Sothalen met a creature whose existence offended em incredibly. The other creature seemed similarly offended. They attacked each other and were fairly equal, but eventually Sothalen was left at a disadvantage and had to flee. The femehans in eir village had no idea what that strange creature was, but thought that since it was otherworldly and Sothalen had felt like it must die, then Sothalen must have been an epic hero brought to the world to destroy all such otherworldly abominations. Sothalen then set out to look for the creature, but didn't find it, and returned home to ponder how ey could find the creature and its kin.
At some point, a real karangal came to the village with an ankod, and they decided to accompany Sothalen on a tarkaan-slayin
Adulthood: Sothalen, Verkije and Lehahel met up with two toppenrans and a falangezka as well, and their travels took them over the Limitless Glacier.
They fought and killed many tarkaans and even some other hostile people and had many other adventures. Eventually the toppenrans and ankod grew old and frail and died. Even the karangal and falangezka aged. Sothalen understood, but couldn't seem to care, since ey was immune to such effects.
The three continued traveling together. They ran into a very old and powerful tarkaan who managed to kill Sothalen. More Birthdate: unknown
