History
Much like their parental clans, Ineper kin’tonis were earnest and hardworking. They were created to scout the least fertile area of what was once the Estard kin’toni kingdom. It was the pass that connected Estangaugh and Ivoro territories and was full of dangerous wild animals and baron land. Ineper kin’toni clan figured out a way to mitigate this situation by digging themselves in spaces, where it was possible for them to camouflage themselves with the limited vegetation available, to try and hunt the dangerous wild animals for food.
They were created to be brave and fierce, and there was a lot of emphasis on their ability to sense opportunity amidst adversity. Estangaugh kin’toni clan informed Ineper all the required information needed about animals, their behaviour patterns and peak activity cycles. This helped the latter understand the “fauna” aspect of a wretched landscape. Similarly, Ivoro kin’toni clan were brilliant in understanding vegetation and plantation and were responsible in finding all the key medicinal hacks for the great Estrard kin’toni clan.
They helped cultivate ineper kin’toni clan and imparted them the much-needed experience with herbs and seeds. This helped the newly formed kin’toni clan to look for the right ingredients and their usage for the survival and prosperity of other kin’toni clans. Ineper kin’toni were made to feel like slaves, although technically they were owned by the Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clan. This was primarily due to great understanding between Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans about their role and purpose. They did believe in the idea of expansion of the kin’toni clan and seeded the same philosophy in Ineper kin’toni clan.
Eventually, Ineper kin’toni progressed in their mission, and were so successful in investigating and accumulating resources that they were rewarded with a condition unprecedented in the history of all kin’toni clans. Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans decided to allow Ineper kin’toni clan to have their own slave clans and decided to assist them with their specializations. Ineper kin’toni clan formed Elm’ess kin’toni clan with ivoro kin’toni and Isskel kin’toni clan with Estangaugh, completing a pentagonal structure to cover almost all essential needs of a kingdom.
They did not just stop there, but also reached out to Iasul and Ieni kin’toni clan after making sure that Elm’ess and Isskel kin’toni clan were self-sufficient in carrying forward their duties with the same level of dedication and dexterity as them. They were not welcomed very well by Iasul kin’toni clan as the latter were skeptical of outsiders in general and other slave clans, but the response from Ieni kin’toni clan was much more soothing and successful. Ineper kin’toni clan was much impressed with the demeaner and personality of the Ieni’kin’toni clan.
And even though there was not much that latter offered in terms of tangible products, they bonded well, and would go on to spend a lot of time together. It was during one of these visits that Ineper kin’tonis discovered the beautiful scribblings that Ieni kin’toni were immersed in making. Ineper asked Ieni kin’toni if the latter would be interested in selling them, for some much-useful resources. To the utter shock of Ineper, Ieni kin’toni refused to trade any of those scribblings for resources but had no problem if the former were to take them and share with other clans.
Ineper kin’toni figured out a smart way to make the most of Ieni kin’toni’s scribblings for the benefit of all the clans, including the latter. They began hosting discussion circles with other clans making the topics in the scribblings the abstract marker to open their minds to newer ways of thinking. These gatherings were ticketed with tributes, which would be shared between ineper and Ieni kin’toni clans. Ineper kin’toni convinced Ieni to look at tributes to encourage the latter to come up with more such scribblings, as the kin’toni world needed them to look at the future with diverse perspectives.
Biology
Their eyes have blue irises with black sclerae and horizontal rectangular pupils. Ineper kin’toni were one of the fastest and the most agile kin’toni clans. They could run in circles and spirals to confuse those chasing them and had a great way to evade arrows or any other form of weapons which could be thrown at them in the form of a projectile. They were lean and steady in their structure and would know how to best utilise their strength and the low centre of gravity in hitting out or evading any form of attack.
This kind of physiology helped them neutralise threats from various wild animals and rival kin’toni clans. They were sharp in their thinking as well. They had great eyesight and could sense an opportunity or threat from far. They also could distinguish very clearly between different kinds of flora and fauna, no matter how similar they appeared to other clans. They had a keen sight for specialisation and differentiation, a mandate that Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans passed on to them, from the order of the Great Estard kin’toni himself.
Ineper kin’toni clan was incredibly good in making new friends and morphing an untenable relationship into something meaningful and mutually beneficial. They knew how to put aside their selfish interests for the bigger picture and go the extra mile to make sure that a proposition with common or overall good could be achieved for all participants. Ineper kin’toni clan would experience instances of ideological breakthroughs often. They had a way to look at an old thing or condition in an entirely new way, which would result in deductions and assessments that were unimaginable for other clans.
This gaze helped them look at the barren lands of what was once wasteful southern land in the kin’toni empire being cultivated as animal husbandry, which the Ineper kin’toni clan used to produce some rare kind of animals for their medicinal and nutritional yield. Ineper kin’toni clan had one of the most noble hearts in all the kin’toni clans, which they would often tout as their superpower. They used to claim that even their enemies cannot hate them due to their ability to conjure something nice and good to offer to their adversaries.
This attitude made them an integral part of those who could consider anyone dispensable. It was primarily due to this attribute that the Ineper kin’toni clan could sneak into Ight’turu and Ild’ome kin’toni clan and perceive their vicious plans to take over the entire Estard kin’toni kingdom. The only weakness, if any, that Ineper kin’toni clan could have done without was their poor physical threshold energy, It was painful to watch how helpless they were when in control or grasp of a brutal opponent, then whether it was the wild animals or Iasul kin’toni clan, who would abduct them for “Amphermation”.
But such was their ability to adapt to new surroundings that the abducted Ineper kin’toni clan members would quickly become Iasul kin’tonis, without much remorse or retaliation.
Culture
The key attribute guiding the Ineper kin’toni clan was their ability to become one with their duty, better and faster than anyone around them. They were true believers and would quickly transform themselves according to their surroundings. However, they also had a strong moral code and sense of ethics that helped them distinguish between what was right and wrong, even though those things are not that easy to separate. Ineper kin’toni clan never felt out of place in any space they were present. Their presence and purpose always got better of their concerns and fears.
This attitude gave them strength to meet even the most volatile and violent groups with courage and negotiate the best possible outcomes from the worst possible scenarios. Some of them were even kidnapped by the Ight’turu and Ild’ome kin’toni clans and turned into Ina’suli kin’toni clandroid. But such was the force of good in their hearts that they rose the ranks and eventually became the jury that decided the fate of Ight’turu and Ild’ome kin’toni clan, with the help of Ieni kin’toni.
Somehow the Ineper kin’toni clan could look through petty choices and decisions of other clans as coding error and resolve the problem with the source of the conflict or trauma. Even though most of what they did was damage control, and great at that, the Ineper kin’toni clan did believe that they were far from perfect and could do much better. At the same time, it was their respect for the present moment that they knew that retrospective analysis is a convenience everyone has but it certainly does not do wonders to the blunders made in the past.
Within the tribe Ineper kin’toni clan had a great sense of humour and were always seen engaged in a banter or two with each other. They would not shy away from making fun of their masters, even, and the best mimic would get to keep a part of the leftovers, awarded by the master, if they could replicate the exact demeanor. They would also scare each other disguised as dangerous and would sometimes look tremendously stupid in the attempt of doing so.
Ineper kin’toni clan also did not know how to hold back grudges and would quickly move on. The most exemplary testimony for this kind of behaviour was seen in how Inaper kin’toni clan conducted their trade of resources with ight’turu and Iasul kin’toni clans who had – both – abducted members from their tribes, and even ruthlessly killed a few, but the former knew that it was paramount for the collective harmony of the great Estard kin’toni kingdom to never let the Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans get to know about it, and reported those incidents as instances of attacks from the wild animals.
They found their true friends in the Ieni kin’toni clan, and quickly related to them as one of the only other clans that was undoubtedly selfless and the ones who had the ability to see the greater good not just in the present but also in the future. It was purely due to this reason that the Ineper kin’toni clan started to promote their scribblings with their own vivid interpretations. The most interesting bit about how the Ineper kin’toni clan promoted and preached those scribblings was that since they never had any personal bias in their trades, everyone gobbled up their recommendations.
With this single act of maximizing their credibility at the right time, Ineper kin’toni clan broke the backbone of the illicit schemes that Ight’turu and Ild’ome kin’toni clans were cooking up since the proverbial eternity.
Government
Ineper kin’toni clan had a supreme leader who was selected based on sense of humour and the latter’s ability to keep everyone motivated and optimistic in adverse situations. Since all the Ineper kin’toni clan members had the same level of access to information and resources it would come down to who could keep them inspired with their humour. Their leaders would give some of the most hilarious speeches, which would sum up the irony of being a conscious slave clan in a kingdom full of anger and anxiety.
One such example was when there were talks about revenge in the Ineper kin’toni tribe after a few of their members were abducted by Iasul and Ight’turu kin’toni clans, which left the poor clan emotionally broken, their leader helped brought them out of darkness by saying these words:
“We are not the ones to go out there for revenge. We are what the world gets when there is too much vengeance to heal itself from all that pointless hatred. We are not the ones who believe in looking for opportunities to settle scores or take it upon ourselves to destroy evil. We are here to show the evil that we will continue to exist how we are, despite its presence, and that is the biggest threat we can pose. We are dangerous if we exist as who we are and become incomprehensible for the evil that is determined to corrupt us with the vices, which create the core and source of these vicious, insecure actions.
We are not crippled by the vanity of masters, but enabled by the divinity of our gods, who look at this world through us, as us. If we act like everyone else around us, then it is just convenient, and life is anything but…. Convenient. It is endless suffering and struggle against seemingly impossible odds, with resilience and integrity. Life is not an opportunity to take more lives, it is a journey of one to enable and improve countless others. We are not weak or cowards.
We are the most dangerous life form there has ever been because we can forgive another life for being insufficient and inefficient by overcoming the temptation of mimicking its petty tricks. Our purpose is to be alive and celebrate life. Let us celebrate the life we have lost by creating more, many more so that death trembles with the light and fight of our spirit.”
Ineper kin’toni clan members had a great laugh that they are useless because their leader is melodramatic and an eternally hopeless romantic. They still went on to make more lives using plants and animals from their masters Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans. They came up with the idea of starting new clans with specializations in trading and military on the principles of Ight’turu kin’toni clan, without the thieving and robbing part. They created Elm’ess kin’toni clan with Ivoro kin’toni who were largely traders and Isskel kin’toni clan who were stoic guards, with “zagarmatanis” from the Estangaugh kin’toni clan, and completed the Pentagonal structure of the 5 clans.
Military
Philosophy:
Initially, the Ineper kin’toni clan did not need the military reinforcements as they were protected by the Ivoro and Estangaugh kin’toni clans. But after they were initiated and left to scout areas all alone, they faced some turbulent wild animals. The Ineper kin’toni clan was smart enough to deal with those despite their small stature. They would run, hide, and dodge hostile animals without much fuss. But the real danger posed to them was from some of the other kin’toni clans, particularly the Ight’turu, who got increasingly suspicious of their development.
Absolute strength:
Each member of the Ineper kin’toni clan was fast, but not furious. They could run without breaking their stride for miles and miles, and were hard to catch, unless there were traps laid. Sometimes, they were hard to catch with traps, even, due to their immaculate vision and sharpness. However, Ight'turu kin'toni clan were brutal and treacherous. They would send their group mercenaries as fellow hunters and would send Ineper kin’toni to chase wild animals to a trap that was laid for the latter.
After trapping the poor Ineper kin’toni members, Ight’turu kin’tonis would unleash solo hitters who would smash the former into pulp. Ineper kin’toni clan members were so earnest that they would not scream as that could agitate the Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans to attack other kin’toni clans, and the purpose of bringing peace to the whole kingdom would be defeated. So, Ineper kin’toni clan members would bite into their own flesh to bear the pain inflicted by the solo hitters from Ight’turu kin’toni clan.
Iasul kin’toni was another challenge altogether. They would abduct the Ineper kin’toni clan members and “ampermate” them into their own kind to strengthen numbers.
Style:
After getting hit, repeatedly, by Ight’turu and Iasul kin’toni clan members, Ineper kin’toni clan members worked with Estangaugh clan members to develop Isskel kin’toni tribe, which was a strong guard team. This guard team could create a dynamic shield around the Ineper kin’toni clan while they were trading with other clans, which was impenetrable by even the “zagarmatanis”.
Religion
Ineper kin’toni clan believe what Estangaugh and Ivoro kin’toni clans believed, which was the power of five elements – fire, water, air, ground, and ether, They also believed in predisposed destiny and eternal goodness of heart, Ineper kin’toni clan refrained from propagating their belief-system in a way that could be imposed on others. In fact, they were keen to listen to others, and borrow brilliance, wherever it was available to improve upon their own assumptions. This made them unique, and likeable, especially to Ieni kin’toni.
Ineper kin’toni clan, having gotten in touch with Ieni kin’toni clan, got the ultimate validation of their pursuits and purpose, when the former saw the five elements of all consciousness amalgamating into an age of awakening, and the darkness of insecurity getting slithered by its own actions.
It gave them courage to keep having discourses and interactions with even the most vicious kin’toni clans like Ight’turu and Ild’ome, with the hope that Ineper kin’toni were infectious, and their goodness would rub on either one of them. It never did, but certainly, Ineper caught a glimpse of Ina’suli kin’toni clan, and encouraged Estangaugh kin’toni “Zagarmatanis” to frequently interact with this tribe for the future. As events unfolded, the “zagarmatani” influence on Ina’suli kin’toni clan turned out to be deadly for the Ight’turu and Ild’ome kin’toni clan.
Miscellany
There is so much to learn from the Ineper kin’toni clan. Their resilience, integrity, kindness and smartness, there is no end to the adjectives one can put together to describe them. But most importantly, they never gave up on humour and hope. Ineper kin’toni clan had perhaps faced the most damage and destruction from all clans, but it was their sheer outlook in the wake of those unpleasantries that gave them the required fuel to keep their spirits burning against the ghastly shadows marked by the darkness in vicious minds.
They were the smallest, and some would argue - the cutest, of most kin’toni clans, but certainly the ones with the biggest hearts. They were fast because they believed that there was a way to run, and the end was always connecting them to a newer beginning. They never gave up on their hot pursuit of truth and light, and eventually reintegrated the great Estard kin’toni clan. They did not win any battle with their force or physicality, but simply out of the kindness and sweetness of their hearts. It just did not matter to them that they were slaves, to themselves, Ineper kin’toni were the small gods of the big bad world.
