Moving/Humanoids/Tūtun

* Liyu (Teleport)
* Eiyu (Warping)
* Zoiyu (Portals)

## Biology:

Tūtun have the reverse joint / digitigrade type legs of many animal hind legs, which provide excellent jumping capability and agility. They also have highly dexterous tails.

## Culture

### Technology

The Tūtun have a passion and culture of magi-tech. Whether its through organic materials, or refined / processed ones, they will gladly make use of it for their own devices. In particular, the Tūtun tend to specialize in propulsion tech which they use to enhance their own mobility with jetpacks / jet boots, etc, as well as vehicle development and maintenance for other species.

### Movement / Transportation

The Tūtun have passion for freedom of movement. In almost any circumstance where they can, they will go from one place to another on their own two feet, or using their own magi-tech propulsion devices attached to their bodies. They are generally nomadic, traveling alone, or in small familial units. There are various small villages scattered across the lands, which tend to have a high turnover rate of occupancy and are relatively rare / far between. They will occasionally use form of public transportation if they can't get to the place themselves or if the difference in convenience is great enough, though it is generally uncomfortable for them and can take getting used to. However, something you will never see, is a Tūtun driving a vehicle themselves.

### Weapons

The Tūtun have a very high preference for attacking a target from a distance, either using their tail to fling projectiles, a bow, or a gun. Almost always, they will use their tail to enhance the speed of the projectile they are shooting even if they are not using the tail as the main device for sending out the projectile.

### Jobs:

The Tūtun typically serve in roles that involve one or more of their specialties / passions. Couriers, surveyors, scouts, thieves, assassins, engineers, mechanics.

## Magical Affinity:

Tūtun specialize in spacial magic. Each of the three species from this Genus manifest this specialization differently from one another.

The largest, the Liyu, are capable of teleporting themselves, and objects they are sufficiently close to, or are concentrating on. The primary factor though is line of sight, both the starting and ending teleportation locations much be visible to the individual for a teleport to be capable of happening in the first place. Then other factors are: size, familiarity, and how in focus the object is. Depending on these, it can take longer / more effort to teleport the object.

The middle sized, the Eiyu, are capable of warping space in a relatively small radius around themselves. They can expand/stretch, compress, and bend space within the radius of their domain. Stretching can slow down incoming projectiles or enemies, as well as lengthen owns own weapon. Compressing can make distant objects suddenly in reach, or speed up the individual. Compressing space around a specific object can also effectively shrink it, which can allow for the individual to fit in tighter spaces. Compressing the space ahead of an individual/object, while expanding it behind the individual/object provides the biggest speed boost, but takes extra concentration. Bending space can allow enemy projectiles or attacks to miss their target, while the individual's own to hit their mark even when the should've missed. Bending can also make an individual / object invisible, though they will become blind and deaf as well.

The smallest, the Zoiyu, are capable of creating portals from one location to another. Just like with the Liyu, line of sight is of primary importance. These portals can be used for personal transportation, creating a portal large enough for the individual to move through. Smaller portals can be created specifically for the hands to move into, which they can grab or place an object at a distance with. If an enemy is attacking, a portal can be created in the way of the attack, which can then lead to the enemy missing, or striking themselves depending on where the portal is made to lead to. If the individual is capable of creating portals that can move, they can be used offensively too. Make the portal a long thin rectangle and it can act as a cutting edge better than almost any physical blade.

### Tails

Tūtun tails are similar in use to the horns of the Oips and to other artificial magical instruments, in that they act as a node to channel their magic through. While the Tūtun can use their spacial magic through and channeled from any part of their body, their tails have a separate form of magic that they are capable of. This is telekinesis. The tails, when targeting an object, are capable of pushing them out, pulling them in, or keeping them in stasis relative to tail's end. Objects can be moved around side to side or up and down with corresponding movements of the tail. If the telekinesis is released while moving an object with it, then it can be effectively thrown / flung.

The telekinesis the tail's use can minimize the equal and opposite reaction effect when being used, but this takes extra energy to perform. There is a specific technique though where this is specifically not minimized. This technique is done by the individual aiming their tail at the ground behind them, and at whatever angle they desire. They can then charge up and release the telekinetic energy in a stronger burst, which will propel themselves in the opposite direction. This can even be done in mid air, though it is not as effective at creating speed or distance as starting on the ground.

Tūtun tails also have two other special properties. The first is that the telekinetic effect extends throughout the entire tail, which allows it to be moved around regardless of muscles or gravity. The second is that the tails of all three species can stretch to various degrees. The largest have tails which can compress to 2/3 and stretch to 4/3 length. The middle have tails which can compress to 1/2 and stretch to 2/1 length. The smallest have tails which can compress to 1/3 and stretch to 3/1 length.
