Vabo Clan

right|300pxVAH•boh – Bodovian: (proper name)
There are eight ‘sub-species’ or ethnicities of the Bodovians, which are divided into the Dado and Balo Clans. The Dado are considered the more ‘dog-like’ of the Bodovian ethnicities, and include among them the Vabo, often referred to as the ‘Wolves’. Within the Caste system of Bodove, the Vabo are ranked second-highest of the Dado Clans, and on equal footing with the Pero of the Balo Clans. The Vabo are the most independent-thinking of all the Bodovian Clans. They are one of the most diverse in colour, and sometimes have patches of variant colour on their underbellies, throats, flanks, or pointing on their ears, muzzles, paws and tails. Their longer, shaggy fur can be any shade of black, brown, white, tan, orange, indigo, grey, golden, blond or red. Their ears are pointed and upright, though marginally more fluffy or tufted than other Dado Clans. They also tend to grow their head-hair further down their jaws than most other breeds, sometimes far enough to look like sideburns or mutton-chops. This head-hair is as varied in colour as their coats, and often does not match their body fur, sometimes achieving such brilliant colours as red or blue. Their eyes can be any natural shade of green, gold, blue, brown or grey. Their cheekbones tend to be prominent, and their faces long and lean, sometimes even gaunt in appearance, their bodies sinewy and tight in structure. There is more variance in height and build than in any other Bodovian Clan, from 4’3” to 6”0”. Their tails are medium to long and bushy or plumed.
