Ask the Oncathulyns

Official ask blog for the race of wayfarers known as the Oncathulyns. They are jaguar-like Rythulians and are a branched off pre-Rythulian of sorts. As of current times they are extinct, but peer into the window of history and interact with a small group that saved themselves from enslavement, many years before their race's eventual demise. Information about other Rythulian races (created by the mun) may also be featured or posted here from time to time.

2013 vs 2023

[ask-the-oncas]

Part of me would like to casually bring this blog back up just to answer some asks or whatnot, but I doubt anyone’s still around to care, or that I have the energy for it.

But hey, if someone wants to see more, I’m down.

This isn’t me “rejoining the community.” I’m not doing that. These are just my OCs and if people are curious about them, I’d be willing to flesh them out. But more than anything, this would just be a worldbuilding blog.

Ah well.

I’ve been looking for this for AGES

[kitkatpurrpurr]

three year’s difference.

[kitkatpurrpurr]

So I was coming up with a new tribe of wayfarers for Journey. Don’t have a name for them though. Anyway, they ride these cloth horses and use them for hunting, racing, traveling, etc. Whenever they cut a horse’s mane or tail, the embroidery will show up in its proper place.

The top picture shows a horse used for hunting. They keep the manes relatively short but loose.

The second picture shows a horse used for general riding. The mane may or may not be trimmed.

The third picture shows a wild horse, though some people don’t trim the manes of their horses.

The fourth picture shows a horse that is used for racing with its tail untrimmed.

The final picture shows a horse used for racing with its tail trimmed.

Horses come in other colors though, and their symbols can vary. They have horse-sounding chirps and no mouths, and the band on their nose is there from birth.

Riders have long scarves which, when not in use, they tie around their chests to keep out of the way. The scarves are split in two fairly far up, and they come down in front, not behind. When riding, they either ride bareback (typically leisure), or they tie their scarves tightly up the nose behind the band to keep it from sliding off. Then they use the split like western-style reins, in one (cloth) hand.

Those who ride frequently often invest in chaps to keep their legs from hurting after riding for long periods of time.

Bonds between horse and rider run deep, and horses that have become close to their caretakers will go out of their way to protect them.

Horse racing is the big attraction to this tribe’s home. People will come far to bet on the races, and it’s one of the big sources of income for them.

The tribe is quite large with 800+ members, but they all live in their city with almost no outsiders living among them (outsiders who haven’t essentially assimilated are rare). Outside of racing, they also farm cloth fields, much of which feeds the horses.

I will wind up improving on this later!!

-flails- ((I really need to get around to drawing Ettivan all the way and actually draw out Hokre))

[do-kontsa-zhizni]

☂ - Moani

And then Moani had a sopping wet Chirp pressed against her back trying to hide under her cloak.  ”Flesh being!  Hide me!  I bring you food always, keep me from being wet!”  And by bringing her food… it meant all those times it randomly showed up at all hours of the night and day to throw shredded cloth wayfarers in her lap or bed.

((I couldn’t think of a draw.  I sarry))

[ask-the-oncas]

Moani rolled her eyes and tucked Chirp under her waterproof robe, leading him back to her house. "And by food you mean all those pieces of scrap cloth I can't make anything out of? If you really wanted to help me make something- I mean, make sure I've eaten, you need to leave me more."

[ask-the-oncas]

"You’re so weird." Chirp fluttered it's cloak and climbed out a window. (XD Its fun to mess with her x'D)

Moani moved an ear back and stared at Chirp as he left, utterly confused. "You're the weird one, not me!!" She shouted.

[ask-the-oncas]

Chirp just leans in clooooser to her and bares it's teeth a little with a curious whirr. "This seems familiar."

Moani placed the scarf she was making down on the floor and looked up at Chirp. "What. What's familiar Chirp." She rolled her eyes a bit.

[ask-the-oncas]

Chirp is sitting on Moani, casually patting her ears with it's cloak tips. "I think it’s broken.”

Moani looked up at Chirp and flicked her ears. "Why, what's broken? Your robe? Because I can fix that."

[ask-the-oncas]

((For Chal, if you're doing the meme still:)) "They coming!”

"Again?? Hurry we have to get out of here!!" Chal jumped from her tree lookout down to the lower section of the treehouse. She rushed inside and yanked Ettivan's blanket off.

"The Rythulians are back!! We need to get everyone awake and away from here now!" She peeked back outside.

"Stranger, you're sure you saw them coming?"

[ask-the-oncas]

"It was me"

Usana stared up at the man for half a second before a raucous cackle left her mouth. "Oh son, it wasn't you! We know you're not responsible for the attack! That'd be one heavy burden to carry, and besides, it doesn't seem like you'd be the type to lead an army like that."

Etty came up behind his grandmother and looked up at the man. "Nanna, what are you laughing about?" She turned around to look at him.

"Oh nothing. This fellow here is trying to fess up for pushing us out of our home city. Don't know why. He doesn't even wear a red robe."

[ask-the-oncas]

Four Levels of Formality

They're more known as "Levels of Secrecy" but they have to do with formality.

From most formal to least formal:

Secrecy of the Robe

Secrecy of the Mask

Secrecy of the Hood

No Secrecy

--

Secrecy of the Robe:

This means one's wearing their full hood and mask. This is for formal meetings and get togethers. This is how one always greets someone cross-race unless they are close to the other person.

Secrecy of the Mask:

The hood isn't worn but the mask is. This is always cross-race unless one is close to the other person. This is for more informal gatherings among different races.

Secrecy of the Hood:

This is where the hood is worn but the mask isn't. This is for formal meetings within one's own race, as well as formal parties.

No Secrecy:

This is for every day life, informal gatherings, etc, but can also happen cross-race between friends or lovers.

--

The reason for these levels of formality is due to the removal of the mask allowing for eye contact, and prolonged eye contact, depending on the context, can indicate a challenge for power, which leads to fighting.
