Hello! Umm…just wanna say that I love your work, world building, art and the RP you’ve got with Crispy. Idk a lot, only a little still but I do like the little bits of lore about the clans and the temple, it’s interesting. What I’m really curious about is the Koroth'Ul matriarch Kindut’ru as she sounds like a fun character and her design and crown looks amazing and also about Crispys’ Guardian Khjude, another character with unique looks and abilities. They’re just really cool!!!
Thank you! We appreciate that people enjoy our works, art and writing, random blurbs, and worldbuilding.
I can't speak too much about Khjude, as she is @crispy-ghee 's creation, but I say a few more things about Kindut'ru:
Part of Korot'Ul tradition is that your children may be blood related to you, but they are not technically 'yours'. They belong to the current Leader, which are given the "Mother/Father of Many" honorific. In other clans, having many children or large bloodlines can be/is a way to gain more rank and privilege, maybe even having bargaining leverage. To the Koroth'Ul, by removing the leverage power of children, everyone is more or less equal - or at least no one will ever be able to use children/bloodline to challenge Leadership. So then becomes a matter of the individual's strength and prowess to challenge the Leader for the role - which are what the Koroth'Ul value most.
Kindut'ru, being the current leader of the Koroth'Ul, is known as the "Mother of Many".
Females will raise children, but will not claim her children as hers, and symbolically hand them over to Kindut'ru as the symbolic 'mother' of the Koroth'Ul.
For the Koroth’Ul, your body is not 'yours', technically. You are of Koroth's blood and bones, a sliver and extension of his body. Your children are an extension of Koroth as well. They are not yours/for you, they are of everyone, as we are all Koroth. It is the Mother/Father of Many who becomes the maternal/paternal figure of these children, you're just there to help raise them.
And, again, the Koroth’Ul do not see anything wrong or feel oppressed by this. This is their normal and willingly oblige to it.
Masurao has wet nursed other females' children when needed, or handed her infants over to other females when she was out fighting/soldiering.
---------------------
Kindut'ru's name is not her first name (or what she was called originally). It means 'Once Dead' in the old Koroth'Ul language; an old dialect still called "Korith".
---------------------
The Biotic Temple was once attacked by a Koroth'Ul leader at the time , an old warlord named Ga-Dau that was getting up there in age so his idea of a last hurrah was launching an assault against the Biotic Temple. Khjude managed to put up a shield, and the old bulldog warlord was none happy about it. He pushed and relentlessly assaulted his entire force against the shield.
Khjude: "You are no better than brutes that give in to your rage!"
Ga-Dau: "Take down this barrier and I will SHOW YOU my rage!"
The Koroth'Ul managed to kill at least one of Khjude's disciplies, and the woman ended up so enraged that she went from a defensive position, to an attack one.
She *destroyed* the Koroth'Ul force. At least the brunt of them.
The few fortunate Koroth'Ul that did survive Khjude's ire were probably at the far back that were able to put enough distance between themselves and her, but that doesn't mean they left unscathed, receiving "biotic burns" that left their backs scorched and scarred for the rest of their lives. Kinda also to drive that detail they WERE retreating, as the only oneswho didn't survive were those too close to Khjude and thus unable to turn around in time.
Kindut'ru has these burns on her back.
When Jagged-Tooth, the Enforcer, stays with the Koroth'Ul as a guest of honor, Kindut'ru begins regaling her guest with tales of her clan's conquests and glory. But as the drinks deepen, so does her mood, ending up in a none pleasant one sided conversation about old wounds - literally and figuratively.
This is how Kindut'ru brings up her version of events from the Temple battle. She was younger, at the rear, and that's what spared her and a small handful of others from getting slaughtered. They managed to barely escape and return. Including Kindut'ru, there's two other survivors from that battle. The rest succumbed to their wounds after, or age and other ailments claimed them later on.
She, of course, places all the blame and hatred on Khjude - and by extension, biotics in general.
------------------------------
It's an interesting exercise in perspective. They're morally muddled, and each have their arguments for the defense of their actions and accusation of the other. The Koroth'Ul were on the war path and would've killed them all if given the chance. Khjude did not give them that chance, and defended herself, her remaining students, and the Temple.
The Koroth'ul would've taken it too far; they killed a student and were not going to stop. Khjude just beat them to it in her grief.
The Koroth'Ul have their own narrative of events, which will include their bias. It only furthers fuels their purpose and determination to fulfill it.
And it's the only perspective Masurao knows. As far as her, Kindut'ru, and all the Koroth'Ul are concerned, biotics are the remnants of Pa'ya - as ancestrally blood related to God as the Koroth'Ul are to their myth-patron. The Koroth'Ul claim bloodright to kill biotics/Paya'qen to fulfill Koroth's destiny. As well as an underlying fear that if the Koroth'Ul do not kill off these biotic descendants, the biotics will kill off the Koroth'Ul instead, one day, to fully eradicate any living part Koroth as Paya did not manage to completely the first time.
This covers a lot and helps explain the dynamic between the Temple and the Koroth'Ul, specifically their blood feud, and also why Jagged-Tooth and Masurao's friendship and eventual pairing has a dangerous underpinning.
I do have things about Khjude that I...don't know if I've written about here yet? I should check old posts to see what I have.
I have old art pertaining to Khjude and her relationship w/ the Koroth’Ul, but Tumblr has been a real butthole to me these past few weeks and literally does not let me post images anymore, so, until I figure that out, we’ll see.
Suffice it to say that she hates them, though as a Guardian she speaks of them with more of a calm and cold attitude since she has to exercise a certain amount of even-headedness and emotional passivity. The outburst she experienced during that one long-ago battle with the Koroth’Ul was arguably a slip up, but she will not (can not) admit that to any of her students, and so she pretends to view things from a more distant lens. She will liken the Koroth’Ul to insects though.
The death of one of her students in that past onslaught was important. Yautja biotics are rare, and each student is hand-trained by Khjude herself. She is in her way a surrogate mother to her flock. It was like witnessing the murder of her own child. She hopes that if any good came of her rampage, it would be potentially scaring the Koroth’Ul away from trying anything again.
If only.
Code Red!
Masurao, now a recent mother, is still on treatment on the Normandy with @crispy-ghee ‘s crew, and while everyone is instructed to give mom and pup a WIDE berth, people tend to believe there’s more wiggle room than there really is. When Baran-de squirms out of mom’s sight and gets into things he shouldn’t, a crewmember yanks the pup away, causing him to cry out in pain. Maternal instincts kick in HARD and Masurao goes on a rampage in the ship to get her pup back, targeting anyone she sees as a threat.
With Jagged-Tooth away on a job, Cousin steps up to handle the situation in lieu of his son. Centuries of experience makes him the best suited, but a dangerous female is still a dangerous female. The best he can probably hope for is to distract her and tire her out. But it’s that or risk her killing more crewmembers or destroying the ship. He’s a strong old warrior, though, he’ll probably survive.
Speaker Masks
Speakers of a clan, elders, etc, when discussing delicate matters with other clans and their representatives/leaders, would wear these ‘masks’ that cover their mandibles to hide any telltale movements of them that could betray what they’re *really* feeling towards either what they are saying, or what they are hearing. Thus keeping their intent, if any, known only to themselves.
There are modern designs, of course, but many chose traditional covers. Some are simple in appearance, others are ridiculously intricate.
brainworms for some hairstyles
Also posted these a while ago but can't seem to find them again so re-post for more decorative ideas.
