History

The clan was created in the year 4E 30, it was a very dark time for some of the kin'toni race when it was created as there was a cold time and food was hard to find. The kin'toni from the N'balaiara region were hit hard and they could not survive alone. They decided that they needed to work together. They created a kin'toni clan and called it the "Kuvesim kin'toni Clan". At the start, the clan was very weak and it took years to become able to defend itself. In the year 4E 40, the male leader of the clan died and as there was no male able to replace them, there was a female leader who stepped up to replace them.

By 4E 50, most of the clan was female. At that time, ten thousand of the clan was female and five thousand was male. They tried to survive in the winter of 4E 56 but they weren't prepared because the winter was very early that year. Most of the kin'toni in that clan died as they did not have enough food. That was a big problem in the clan and they did not know what to do. The other kin'toni survived because they had some spare food left and shared everything secretly. By the year 4E 62, it was becoming more and more obvious that the clan's population seemed to become more and more feeble.


But mentally and on a psychological standpoint they were getting stronger with each passing moment; however, by the year 4E 65, a gender identity crisis became of the clan as roughly ninety per cent of the clan were female and the other ten per cent were male. During the Shattering, however, most of the clan's population proved to be very successful in their defensive strategies, especially when it came to them always being in the middle of conflict after conflict. Even some that could be been disastrous otherwise. A key battle of the Shattering was called the Battle of Black Spirits.

This involved many kin'toni clans, including the Kuvesim kin'toni clan. The Kuvesim clan's defence was primarily strategic, but their offence was not as coordinated, and each time the Kuvesim soldiers charged forward, the soldiers of the Kuvesim clan were right on their heels and caught their every move; the Kuvesim clan eventually became vastly outnumbered by the Kuvesim clan and were threatened with the possibility of extinction. Nonetheless, after the war they eventually ended up being forced out of their original region, and after it was taken over by the Kuvesim clan.


They eventually found refuge in the Youngblood Bamboo Forest, where they discovered how to take care of stray animals from the wilderness and raise them to protect their own and all of the Kuvesim clan. They have resided and protected this place with their lives ever since. They also learned how to be good at making things out of wood, and in addition, their willingness to teach themselves, started a renaissance for their culture, a rebirth if you will. From there they began to use timber to construct a ten-foot high wall between themselves and several of their borders.

They did this to protect themselves from their enemies and allow themselves to travel abroad to hold meetings with allied clans.


Psychology

To the Kuvesim kin'toni, life is a constant rave. Obsessive partygoers, a Kuvesim kin'toni seeks to relish enjoyment and sensation to its fullest potential. Evil-minded Kuvesim kin'toni is terrible sadists and hedonists, and more benign Kuvesim kin'toni become the greatest artists, performers, and athletes of their age. They need to live in a group, most of them have trouble if they were alone. kin'toni in this clan, try to have every day the same because change is not good for them. They are also very good at focussing on things. kin'toni in this clan work together in most of the things.

And teamwork is the thing that is very good for them. For many centuries after the relocation to the Youngblood Bamboo Forest they learned how to craft wood and discovered that they as a clan were naturals at it; generally speaking, their renaissance allowed them to create new wonders with their timber and, after a while, they turned to the making of architectural compositions to best suit themselves and their environment. In other words, they are willing to learn something new with each passing day and can somewhat excel in it at one time or another during their learning process.


They also have an uncanny attitude that is otherwise optimistic and reflects the good in them, meaning that they are socialites and they excel in communicating with each other and kin'toni from other regions, specifically their allies. A typical Kuvesim kin'toni's behavioural and psychological patterns are rather complex, although they are not very hard to understand most of the time. In some cases, the typical Kuvesim kin'toni can sometimes think irrationally and overfocus on things rather than turning their attention to more important things.

Sometimes a Kuvesim kin'toni will talk to oneself for a while in the middle of the night as a means of practising one's social skills, and as a result, the typical Kuvesim kin'toni ends up learning more from it and is more likely to react positively to bad things; this means that the Kuvesim kin'toni is generally talkative and is almost always easygoing when among friends. When a Kuvesim kin'toni gets angry, he or she will generally try to keep it in as a Kuvesim kin'toni is normally slow to anger. It's not a secret that most Kuvesim kin'toni is slow to anger, especially when it comes to keeping their temper in check.


However, in some cases, some Kuvesim kin'toni has been known to lose their tempers and go on a tirade over things that seem to matter to them. Some have even had to be detained until they were too tired to move, and in those cases, they were briefly hospit alized in a cave to recover from their being detained. Nonetheless, a typical Kuvesim kin'toni is of a sound mind and always goes into a task with an open mind and a willingness to learn. When it comes to certain beliefs, one belief stands out above all of the rest in the Kuvesim code of honour: it is better to shy away from a fight you can't win than to abuse a situation where you can't lose. The reason why so many Kuvesim kin'toni believe in this adage is pretty simple.

They have a distinct ability to tell right from wrong, well, most of them, for the most part, and they typically tend to speak their mind about things that they generally care about or are concerned about. Some of the kin'toni in the Kuvesim clan have even gotten special attention for ranting about things that mean so much to them, so much so that a poll was conducted across the region to determine whether or not these thoughts are relatable and can be understood; as a result, a majority of those that were polled generally suggest that these rants were supposedly relatable and could be understood by many.


However, some kin'toni are generally worried about things that they shouldn't be worried about, so they sometimes vent their frustrations by punching trees; however, although punching trees is a crime in other clans, the Kuvesim government allows this as a means to let off some steam Whenever one needs to and because the Kuvesim government allows the punching of trees to serve as a stress reliever, other methods of venting have been used by various kin'toni of the Kuvesim population, such as running, jumping jacks, and power walking, among other things.

Needless to say, the Kuvesim clan are a very active group of kin'toni with a lot on their mind and only so many different ways to express their thoughts.


Biology

The Kuvesim are adapted to the dense, vertically-oriented vegetation and constant high moisture, of the Yalu Bamboo Forest. They are very slender and vertically elongated of build, with low mass. This comes with the downside of being fragile and vulnerable to blunt impacts. Their skin is striped vertically in shades of green. They have areas of skin that excrete sticky, resin-like substance on their palms and soles. This allows them to grip on wet, slippery bamboo surfaces. Their hair is a sleek, mossy green coating that is very fine and hydroponic and sheds water instantly.

This coat, being very fine, offers no thermal resistance against cold. Their eyes are large, with vertical, slit pupils that are adapted to maximize depth perception in the dim, dappled light of the canopy. The vision is optimized for distinguishing shapes and movement in a landscape in shades of green and brown. Their ears are short, pointed and outward facing. Inner ears mechanics and balance organs are adapted to instantly compensate for the sway and movement of the high canopy.


This leads to them being disoriented and nauseous when traveling rapidly over flat, stable ground. This as their their system over-corrects for movement that is not present. Noses are broad, flat and with very wide nostrils. This is in order to smell prey in the moist air. The downside of this is their noses are sensitive to dry air, that can lead to headaches. They are specialized to detect the faint, unique smells of the various types of bamboo and forest flora. The teeth are narrow, laterally flattened blades for slicing the tough skin of forest prey.

These teeth are bad at grinding or crushing bone. Their claws are needle-sharp and keratinous to allow for gripping onto bamboo. Their hands and feet have six digits, with two thumbs and two opposing big toes for climbing bamboo. The wrists and ankles have small spurs to anchor to bamboo in high winds. They have an developed sense of "touch" through their feet to allow them to know if a bamboo stalk can take their weight.Joints are highly articulated and flexable, allowing for rapid, acrobatic movements through the dense, vertical bamboo stalks.


These flexible joints are prone to dislocation or sprains if subjected to sudden, lateral impacts. They are able to metabolize the blood of primarily bird and arboreal mammal species better than other clans. The internal organs are high in the torso as to lower the risk of damage from piercing injuries from sharp and broken bamboo stalks near the ground. This also leads to being more vulnerable to crushing damage concentrated around the chest cavity. The bones contain small, internal air pockets. This is part of why they have such a low mass.

It allows them to me quieter landings. These pockets are part of why their bones are less resistant to impacts and high pressure environments. They have Cellular resistance to fungal and bacterial infections that are common to the region. It does not grant resistance to fungal and bacterial infections common in other regions.

Culture

They are very quiet and love to work together. There is a strange way in which a Kuvesim kin'toni gets a tattoo, where a local tattoo artist, supposedly one designated by one of the local sectors of the clan's government, which is referred to as the Order of Absolution, or Xalase'narauoa. It is also important to note that each kin'toni in this clan has a desire to be like their clan founder and sport a tattoo on the leg. After getting the piercing on at least one of their earlobes they have to wait until at least ten years after they were initially turned for the piercing to be legalized.

By their local Order of Absolution chamber. That can sometimes require a lot of time devoted towards gaining wisdom in the outside world, especially during the nighttime hours. Another important aspect of the Kuvesim clan's culture, other than their desires to cover their arms and legs in tattoos and their willingness to get at least one of their ears pierced, the majority of the night hours are spent scavenging for various things, such as food, water, and certain kinds of gems, which are said to be hidden all over their region. Some of the Kuvesim clan kin'toni even.


Have their unique collection of different kinds of gems, which they store and hide deep in their caves, namely in a place where only they can go to find them. The reason for their desire to collect gems is not entirely known, however, as most of their records and archives suggest that these gems are for safekeeping purposes only. Given that, a minority of the Kuvesim clan dedicate their lives to alchemy, a practice that is not entirely new, but not overused, either. Another not-so-secret practice that the Kuvesim kin'toni excel in is a practice that isn't entirely known in the kin'toni'ati world.

That particular practice, of course, involves the use of sports and athletics. For example, a typical male Kuvesimian will generally perform gymnastics to please their female counterparts, but some aren't as athletically gifted as others, so they decide to be taught by the Kuvesim Militia. Those that are proficient in gymnastics, however, also tend to do well in other kin'toni-related sports, such as tree climbing, pole vaulting, and, in some cases, jousting. Some are even more gifted in athletics, excelling in some non-athletic activities such as singing, writing, and construction.


However, over half of the Kuvesim population is skilled in the construction of some kind. A lot of the Kuvesim population are especially gifted in their ability to hunt and capture large animals such as the Caalna'raon, or Forest Mammoth, and most of them excel in hunting and capturing these large animals also know how to tame them, take care of them and nurture them. The Kuvesim clan are very fond of large animals, but some have been known to spot much smaller animals called Yr'dnosar, which have been known to eat a Caalna'raon's flesh like hungry bacteria on the infected skin.


Government

The Kuvesim clan's government is very structured in loyalty and sheer honesty. Originally known as the Crown Committee, it originally consisted of a panel of five, one of which is the clan leader and the other four of which are leaders of their respective local districts within their region, and given that there are four districts in the Youngblood Bamboo Forest, each of the clan leader's councillors would rule each of the districts. However, given that most of the populations of those local districts were not informed of any changes for many decades, one change would eventually be brought up.

For in 4E 12320 it was discovered that a fifth district of the Youngblood forest had yet to be discovered, thus giving way to a revision. In the governmental structure of the Kuvesim clan. Each of the four districts that had originally been discovered by Eskelaendu, including the one that had been discovered after his death, has since been ruled by two district leaders, or Kaonains, with the entire region being governed by the clan leader, who, as of 4E 100, is a kin'toni of the name Iaoanysaku (loose translation: the Wise One). Each of the ten district leaders, as well as the leader of the clan, are allowed to participate in an ancient tradition known as the Branding of the Guardians.


In this ritual, each of the clan's district leaders will receive a tattoo on their arms and legs by the clan's tattoo artists, who are referred to as the Yzdra'kuli (singular: Yzdra'kulo). Each of the eleven artists will take the leaders to be into a large hut. and the tattoo artists will work day and night to give them a tattoo of four symbolic figures in the clan's religion of choice, which is Kryn'jakzu. The tattoos generally take up to a dozen hours to complete, but once it is complete a group of Kuvesim kin'toni will await their leaders and praise them as their Guardians.

Legislative and executory orders are often suggested by one of the district leaders, who suggests how they can better protect and help their clan survive. The suggestion will then either be considered for deliberation by the clan leader, or it will be voted on by the other nine district leaders. If it is considered for deliberation, the suggestion will engage in an open forum with the nine other clan leaders to vote for what happens, however, if the clan leaders decided to conduct a vote, the other nine district leaders will receive a piece of wood to carve on.


All the while as their options consist of their approval (aeo) or declining (uea) of said suggestion. The majority vote is generally considered in the Kuvesim clan as a five to four vote. The approval or disapproval of the suggestion will be considered by the majority vote, at which point the clan leader will confirm it in the open as the mentioned suggestion will either be passed or struck down by the clan leader and only the clan leader. In other words, every district leader in the clan's government has an equal opportunity to offer suggestions, even if they are written in stone.


Military

The Kuvesim clan's military is often referred to as the Kuvesim Royal Guard. Given that most of the kin'toni in this clan are also soldiers in the Kuvesim Royal Guard it comes as no surprise that, despite the typical Kuvesim kin'toni's mental illnesses he or she is generally very plentiful in common sense and self-defence, especially those that have served in the Royal Guard for the longest time. Another key fact about the soldiers of the Kuvesim Royal Guard is that most of them also engage in missions across the region to build a wall between themselves and one of their rival clans.

This wall was supposedly under construction for thousands of years before construction of the wall suddenly stopped and this wall is also supposed to keep their rival clan, the Kuvesim clan, from invading even one of their regions. It is suggested according to Kuvesim legend that construction for the wall began following the events of the Shattering, back when the Royal Guard was known as the Guardian Corps; however, this particular wall, dubbed by kin'toni from many different regions as the Wall of Wisdom, allows the Kuvesim clan to go about their military exercises and missions.


Without interference or interruption. Regions as the Wall of Wisdom, allow the Kuvesim clan to go about their military exercises and missions without interference or interruption. Because of this, the wall, which at times, has essentially served as the Kuvesim clan's spiritual motivation and it is for that reason that they work towards the completion of the Wall of Wisdom's construction, at which point the wall would be roughly sixty feet tall and the only way one can pass through the wall is by figuring out a secret passcode that only kin'toni of the Kuvesim clan know.

Once this passcode is correctly mentioned by those that seek to gain entrance past the wall, they will be granted access past the wall and visit at least one of the Kuvesim Clan's regions. So, generally speaking, the primary activities in the Kuvesim Royal Guard involve the continued construction and building of the Wall of Wisdom, as well as a nightly hunt that occurs just after dusk. It does not require much effort or stamina to become a member of the Kuvesim Royal Guard, but once you apply for the Royal Guard you will be assessed your health to ensure that you are in top physical shape.


It is very hard to get kicked out of the Kuvesim Royal Guard, for for a kin'toni to be kicked out of the Royal Guard one would have to commit a capital offence and end up being convicted of it if caught. In other words, when you're in the Kuvesim Royal Guard, follow this important rule: never betray your own.


Religion

Religion started with a myth that someone could take over the world with magic, while many people did not believe in this. The myth became very popular after a while because they told the story so much that everyone believed in it. The myth was created by a young male kin'toni who liked to write stories about mythical things. That is how the myth was born. In about 10000 years it became a religion. Over the next thousand or so years, the religion commonly referred to by the Kuvesim clan as Aa'ze-Maqo became more and more popular as the legend of magic and illusions took an.

Increasingly elaborate and grand form; eventually, Aa'ze-Maqo became the Kuvesim clan's most popular religion as a result of the story. Of this religion's origins reaching a broad enough audience. Because this particular religion was created as an urban legend story in 4E 6187 by a kin'toni named Dyrluz Kazaaxo, most of the modern Kuvesimians consider Kazaaxo to be a God in his own right for the creation of such a religion, especially considering how he was considered one of the most provocative magicians, philosophers and evangelist of his time.


Not many clans are familiar with this religion, however, because the origins of Aa'ze-Maqo are said to be based on fiction and mythical legends from ancient times; as a result, most clans do not officially recognize Aa'ze-Maqo as an official religion. Aa'ze-Maqo (loosely translated as Airless Magic), which has had a complex religious structure over the centuries, has been revised several times over many thousands of years by Kazaaxo's descendants, and there is even a bible that was written many millennia ago by the religion's creator and a group of scribes known as the Ancient Illusionists.

Alternate versions of the Aa'ze-Maqo holy book have been made by Kazaaxo's descendants, and they serve as different versions of the original Aa'ze-Maqo holy book, with each version being scribed and written in a different language than the other; some of the Kusevim governors say that this is a great idea, but others within the clan disagree. Although the Aa'ze-Maqo Bible has roughly seventeen different volumes, the most revealing volume is also the most historically accurate one; the thirteenth volume of the Aa'ze-Maqo holy book referred to in the Kuvesimian language of Zaaor.


As Mwnao-Xazra (loosely translated as Precipice of Power), tells about the story of an ancient zu'aan named Beezaal who supposedly ruled the zu'aan race. He was thought to of initially ruled over the zu'aan race in a garden known as Ezol, but a being called Raazgu'un cursed the zu'aan and many became kin'toni who wanted to turn zu'aan into more of their kind. The zu'aan tried to live in peace with the kin'toni, but Raazgu'un convinced the kin'toni'ati race to go to war with its zu'aan counterparts. This war that the zu'aan lost, made the zu'aan hide or flee into the wilds or more defensible places.

The kin'toni changed to show their corruption inside, so believes the Kuvesim kin'toni Clan.
