Oncierreden

The Oncierreden, or Cat People, of Incantre are a rarely seen race from uncharted regions far to the South. They are believed to be tribal, moving in small family groups or as solitary wanderers. Strangers to the known territories of the land, little is known about their origins. Some stories include them in the creation of the races by the Urathear, much as other natural hybridized races include centaurs, fauns, and merfolk. There are darker tales, which speak of an unnatural beginning at the hands of arcane experimentation. Created as servants, the Oncierreden were - according to legend - never intended to breed and thrive as a race, but something happened allowing them to overthrow their masters. No records exist of what may have happened to those who were tampering with creation by their own hands. There is no proof this is true, but mentioning it to one of the cat people is highly offensive and the story is considered derogatory. They are often an aloof people, avoiding other races and thus further fueling the idea that they were once beholden to others and stay away as a means of maintaining their independence.

Although they are humanoid in form the Oncierreden possess many feline traits, both in physical appearance and ability. They sport the ears and tails of a cat, often with markings of spots or stripes upon their skin or a fine layer of fur. With the aid of their tails and a heightened dexterity, they are often possessed of an incredible sense of balance that leaves them with an air of gracefulness. Powerfully muscled legs give them enhanced bursts of speed or greater height in jumps. Senses of smell and hearing are far superior to those of the average human, as is their vision at night though during the day it is not quite so keen as man's. Their intelligence and lifespan is much as a human's as well, although with more natural instinct than civilized man they are prone to a wilder set of behaviors and taking action without thought when under pressure. When left to their own pace, they can be very patient and methodical creatures; tribes will spend a day stalking prey before springing a trap.

The Oncierreden may be approved as player characters on a case-by-case basis; an Uncommon and Foundling Races Addendum is required with these characters. Due to their unusual appearances, visual approval of the AV may also be required. Please remember, furries are not allowed within Incantre.
