Requiem of the Denizens, or The Denizens, live on a strange planet named Gonij. It's a planet that's covered in ice and snow for majority of the year, just with some of the seasons being warmer than others to differentiate spring and summer and the like. The sky above is a constant red, just getting lighter and darker to differentiate between night and day. Under the surface it is full of water, and if you are patient enough at the edge of the waters, you can find fish like creatures to eat. However, emerging yourself in it for long enough can easily result in a death since the planet is so cold.
Their planet is quiet far away from the sun equivalent, and the cats here have grown to adapt to this by either having thicker skin, fluffier fur, or a mixture of both. They are known to be ruthless, and are one of the main predators here on Gonij. Their Leader may be a bit ruthless at times, and sends his mages off to fight against some of the cruellest creatures Gonij has to offer, but despite that it is painfully obvious how much he cares for the Denizens underneath it all.
paragraphparagraphPredators:
[ Osoor are, quite possibly, the scariest predators to be found on
Gonij. They are large creatures that are white with markings of
various shades of red. They are more or less a mixture of polar
bears and dragons, and are at least 3 times the size of a cat. It is
very dangerous for a Fellowship to come across an Osoor, as they
can easily destroy everything that they've built up. Only the
bravest go up against them. ]
[ Voczu kind of look like large deer, but they are far from the deer
on Earth. Voczu have a mouth full of sharp teeth, and can walk on
their hind legs in order to reach up to high places. Sometimes they
have Joubim perched up in their antlers, and it honestly just makes
them look more intimidating. ]
[ Pukyeek are very large bird like creatures. They are known to swoop
down and take away young kittens in their overly large beaks. They
have little talons, barely big enough to fit a Vassiut in them, and
instead use their oddly large beak for everything. It's shaped almost
like a pelicans. ]
[ Bexxielo are a large, dangerous type of aquatic creature. They are
known for jumping out and attacking cats when they're fishing for
Piurin. They have tentacles that they used to drag the cats down into
the depths, and even if they don't end up drowning them and the cats
get away, the cats usually freeze to death soon after getting out, and
the Bexxielo can walk on land, and will follow after them they
drag their prey back down. ]
[ Cuulge are large, mutated cats. Legends say they were once the
creatures that formed Fellowships here on Gonij, but those days are
long past. Now, the Cuulge live up in the mountains, and occasionally
come down the stalk the snowy plains, and terrorize the Denizens. ]
paragraphparagraphPrey:
[ Vassiut are a serving size of 1. They have extremely thick skin, and often
disguise themselves as rocks, and tend to hide under the snow.
Apprentices are often taught how to hunt by being sent out to look for
Vassiuts. ]
[ Bounnax are little lizard type creatures, however, unlike lizards we know,
these are not cold-blooded. These creatures run warm, and often live in
pockets under the snow where the warmth of their own breaths keep them
well insulated and cozy. They have a sweet taste to them, and their tails
specifically are considered a delicacy. They are worth 1 serving. ]
[ Rienru are little scavengers that can be classified as a serving size of 2.
They are small with long tails, and fur that makes them look like they'd
actually be a serving size of 3. They are a bit large, but since there is so
much fluff to them they're actually just worth 2. ]
[ Piurin are a type of fish, and worth 2 servings. There are underground
tunnels near where the Denizens live where there is good water, and Piurin
are very commonly found in these little pockets of water. They are a soft
red colour, and have large tail fins that are used to put on impressive
displays for potential mates. Unfortunately for them, these very tail fins
make them easy to snag by any cats laying in wait. ]
[ Prakem are a strange looking creature worth 3 serving sizes. They have a
lot of meat on their body under a thick skin, and large fancy looking wings
that are actually worthless. They use them for fancy displays, and to make
themselves seem scarier against predators. However, their heads are lacking
any and all meat. They have blank, expressionless heads, and instead strike
with their tails. Their tail is usually kept shut, but it does open to be
revealed as their true "head". Prakem trick many young apprentices, but all
experienced mages know of their tricks by now, and know to stay as far away
from the tail as possible. ]
[ Joubim are a bird that can be classified as a serving size 3. They are
herbivores, and often approach the Denizens without any sense of fear. While
they're a type of prey, young cats with the ability to fly can be found learning
how to by copying the actions of the Joubi near the camp. ]
