The Cacar

[img][/img]

[i]Overview:[/i]
The Cacar (Pronounced "CAW-SAR") are a Race Of Bipedal Felines Native to the Tropical Jungles and Rainforests of Elysium. They are Proficient Hunters, So much their Entire Culture is Based Around It. Many Tend to Associate Them with Nekos, But the Cacar Get angry at This, Deeming Nekos "Weak Half-Breeds." They are, In Fact, Not Related to Nekos in Any Way.

[i]Appearance:[/i]
the Cacar Usually Resemble Jungle Cats Native to their Regions, Most Notably Jaguars, Panthers and Ocelots. They are Also Very Tall, Reaching up to 6 or 7 Feet. (And 8 to 9 feet, Though this is Very Rare.) Cacar, Unlike Their Four-Legged Relatives, Have Very Strong Biceps, Mainly in the Legs in arms, Allowing them to Walk Upright and Climb Trees. Many Wear Jewelry, Such as Trophys and Bits of Jade, On their Outfits. It is Rare to see a Fully Clothed Cacar, And the Usual Outfit consists of a Loincloth, And The Aforementioned Jewelry Attached to a Bracket around the Wearers Shoulders. Earrings, Armbands and Decorative armor Pieces are Also quite Common. (See above Picture)

[i]Culture:[/i]
The Cacar are Dedicated to Hunting, And as Such became a Fixture of their Society. At age 15, A Young Cacar has Reached Maturity, And have to Go on a Ceremonial Hunt, Alone, With no Aid from their Kinsmen. They Have to Kill a Large Beast and Bring back a Trophy in Order to be Considered A Full Member of the Tribe. If they Fail to do So, They have Brought shame Upon their Family, and on Some Occasions, are Even Exiled. The Cacar Have Rules in Hunting, Such as You Cannot Kill prey that was Already Wounded upon Finding, and That No Prey shall Suffer before Death. Of Any of These Rules are Broken, the Individual has Brought shame, and The Tribe Elders are to Decide their Fate. Strength is Also Valued in the Tribes.

Once Every Solstice, The Cacar Prepare To Appease their God, I'Chir'ree's'sol, The God of The Sun, So He Blesses them with Great Prey until Next Solstice. This is Achieved by Finding "Exotic" Prey, Usually A Human From a Nearby Village. Once Captured, the Victim is Moved to a Small Pyramid Structure, Where their Heart is Ripped out of Their body, and The Rest Thrown down to the Awaiting Crowd. The Cacars Human Neighbors Do not Try to Interfere, As they Retain a Similair Practice, (Though they Use animals instead of People) And, the Cacar tend to Take the Most disliked People, So the Person Usaully isn't missed. This Ritual is then Followed by a Ceremonious Series of Games, Including One where the Players try to Get a Rubber ball into a Hoop using their Knees and Elbows, and Another where Two opposing Teams try to Get an Animal Skin Ball into large Nets, Using only their Feet and Legs.

[i]Personality:[/i]
The Cacar, Like most Humanoid-Felines, Tend to Be quite Aloof to The Rest of the world. However, they are Nowhere near Ignorant, as they Rely on Instinct, skill and Intelligence to Survive in the Harsh Jungle, Aswell as Bring back Prey. However, If Talking to Other Cacar or Friends, they Are Usaully quite Friends, Contributing to the Conversations Quite well. Talking to Strangers, Though, is a Comepletely different manner. They are Usually Quite unfriendly to Them, Regarding them as mere Prey in the Hunt.

[i]Strengths:[/i]
While most Cacar Tribes wield Little to No Magic, They are Quite Powerful. Due to their Feline Reflexes, They are Extremely quick and Agile, and a Full Grown Cacar Is strong Enough to Break Bones with A Heavy Strike.

[i]Weaknesses:[/i]
Many Cacar, especially Younger ones, Are Quite Prideful When it comes to Hunting, Which can Cause them to Make a Mistake Easily. They Are Also quite Susceptible to Cold or Frost Magic, As they Hail from Humid Rainforests. Magic is a Good counter Against Cacar, Since It is Completely Foreign To them.

[i]Notes:[/i]
The Cacar are Often Hired as Assasins and Saboteurs, Making them Either Good Men to hire, Or Bad Things to Face. They are Also quite Adept To Small, Light weapons, Such as Daggers and Throwing Knives. Javelins and Spears are Very useful to them Aswell, And are Often dipped from Poison Secreted from Frogs that Can be Found in their Homeland.
