KIDS The Children of Nakti

**Behaviour** | Child-like cute and playful

## **Appearance**:

KIDS
appear as 2-3ft Balls of fluff, being a Squirrel they are bright and
intelligent. Standing on two legs and hopping around on all fours at a
much faster clip then their waddle on two feet. Large loose skin folds join the arms and legs giving the KIDS a safe fall from most any height. Happy and cheerful
unless scared, anger is even almost unheard of from them. Cuteness is
their evolutionary advantage, they naturally mimic the behavior and
habits of children. Much like the Cuckoo Bird mimicking the cry for
food the others use, KIDS rely on their childlike appearance and habits
to illicit a parental response.

Very cute and friendly, like
very cute and friendly. They evolved to be childlike or infant like in
features, large eyes big head full of expression. This is their
strength, they are playing on one’s instincts to protect and nurture a
child. They age but never really look different, always being little
cute things, only a slight silver muzzle fur distinguishes an senior
among them.

### **Facial Appearance**:

Cute
 childlike features on a chubby fluffy furred face. Small ears peaking
just about the head. Very animalistic but very cute as well. Large dark
intelligent rodent eyes always give a childlike appeal. A cute pink nose
 and long whiskers that wiggle and shake as they sniff or eat.

### **Fur/Skin Color**:

Light
 Grey with a white underfur. Other colors are uncommon and may vary from
 person to person. Some even showing spots or stripes like a tiger.

### **Biped/Feral looks**:

Partial Biped, can walk or waddle on two feet but most drop to all fours to run or move with any degree of speed and agility.

### **Behavior:**

KIDS have a wide variety of behaviors, most are quite childlike and cute. Normally carefree and complete actors with a smile passing by with a friendly wink. As they go on and see behaviors not welcome or worn out they will alter them. Like if singing is a annoyance they will become more quiet as it is accepted more.

## **Distribution**:

KIDS
 can be found all over Nakti. People often have them when traveling in
caravans allowing them to colonize most of the known tribes. KIDS live
wherever they find a safe location among people, or even in many
people’s homes. Most people are just happy to seem them as they are so
adorable.

## **History**:

KIDS
 have a long history as any culture and species on Nakti do. Growing up
as a species they were struggling until they encountered another tribe
who took a liking to their habits. Getting help and safety as they asked
 for and traded for food and luxuries as fire, metal tools and the like.
 The race’s growth would of been slow and grinding as any climbing to
civilization but seeking help from another race’s higher growth they
overstepped their shortcomings.

### **Beginnings**:

KIDS
 were a hamster living in the colder climates of Rakash. Living a hard
life like most small mammals they lived on constant alert for predators.
 Eventual evolution changed the once skittish and wild rodent into a
thinking society. They were struggling and doing badly by most accounts
till they happened onto another tribe. The instant likeable nature and
baby features made it easy for them to acquire help. Thus raising them
up to new heights as a culture and civilization.

## **Capital City**:

**None** (Whatever city the kingdom they are dwelling in has.)

### **Building Style**:

Small
 mud and straw huts, most just big enough for a family and their cubs.
The huts are good to poor quality as KIDS don’t spend a lot of time
learning how to make them. Most are good for a year or two before having
 to be torn down and rebuilt. Most just opt for living with people or
among their buildings. Under steps or in barns and areas they are not
minded or even wanted.

### **Culture**:

KIDS
 culture is complicated as it has changed drastically from place to
place. They adopt the local tribal customs and ways. Among their own
they have a culture of sharing and trust, unspoken rules among them keep
 the peace. One may have quarrels but one can never bite or harm another
 past a wrestling match and claws.

Almost no one has ever seen
this behavior and it takes quite a lot to make them fight and get worked
 up. If other then a few no one even knows they can get so agitated.

### **Habits**:

Grooming
 and hugging a lot among their own and people who welcome them. Group
grooming and sleeping in piles is normal for them. Curious and bright
they will ask questions if they are intrigued or ignorant on something
that interests them. Singing, playing, avoiding work, acting to name a
few social habits KIDS share, it comes naturally.

## **Laws**:

Same
 as local areas, if alone they will banish the offender and exile them
from contact. If they stay none of them will respond to them and pretend
 they aren’t there. Around others in towns they have their own system of
 leadership. They respect and revere the elders and comply with requests
 the same as a little brother would if younger.

### **Education**:

Education
 is minimal unless pressed into it. Normally they get by with almost no
education among them as they live among other people who know the stuff
they lack. Some KIDS take to education if prompted by another as it
pleases them. Being just as smart as any race they just lack the
 effort to learn more and rise up as a scholar. This has given them a
reputation for being stupid or ignorant the way a child is.

### **Combat**:

KIDS do not engage in combat unless absolutely necessary, saving their
babies or mates or family. If possible they will run to the nearest
tribal native and seek refuge from the assault. Most will help and
protect them as they would any innocent or child.

### **Occupations**:

KIDS
 take on a large variety of jobs, mostly focusing on acting and
performing. Many create an acting troupe and some are well known for
their plays. Being cute and always performing on and off stage they are a
 favorite among kids.

Some collect the shed fur from nests and
homes, the hair is actually quite valuable. People use the hair to weave
 with, the long fine fluff of KIDS makes warm attire. KIDS will also
weave the hair themselves in goods to sell or trade.

## **Oddities**:

Some
 KIDS have been known to be the odd one who is mean or steals. These
KIDS are tattled on if any other KIDS see them do such. Tribes will
usually banish or hold them to trial of local justice. Odd fur patterns
occasionally happen as well, spots or even stripes are not unheard of.

## **Common Health Issues**:

Blindness
 strikes a large portion in old age, around 25% end up being blind by
the time they hit around 50. They can deal with this well as other KIDS
will help them out and their scent and hearing are quite good making up
for some of it.

## **Racial habits**:

Females are
loved and protected as well as more physical in visual habits, such as
grooming and chittering and hugging.KIDS love physical attention and
spend a good amount of time grooming each other. Cuddling and kissing,
sleeping together and playing with local children. Children of many
Tribes love the KIDS as playmates, as they kind and patient and happy to
 play most games if they are able. Jokes are also a big topic among
them, learning jokes and riddles are a hobby to many.

## **Sexual Behavior**:

Sex
 is enjoyed around the year and even with other tribes. Of course this
means they have to be gentle and not too large as the KIDS are smaller
then most. Sex is private unless coaxed into the open by others, sex is
brief and frequent in small rapid mounts creating squeaks and
chattering.

### **Sexual Inclination**:

Sexual preference among KIDS is only specifically Hetero when mating season comes.

### **Views on Sex**:

Sex
 is a one of life’s great enjoyments and gifts, they share it frequently
 among their own. KIDS will also engage in sex with other tribes if it
is initiated. Some even take a KID as a mate when they have loved and
lived long enough. The child like personality becoming much lighter and
more adult once you get to know them deeply.

### **Breeding Info**:

Males
 will crowd around females who are not mated and compete for her
attention. Performing somersaults and singing in their mating
performance. People find this cute and often watch in amusement as they
perform and tumble around. Once accepted the male chosen will retreat
with his new mate and consummate.

During the few weeks the
mating behavior has them, children and parents alone seem more cheerful
and happy with the displays around. Some tribes even have a holiday
during this time as the air is charged with a smile that is so needed
after a long winter.

### **Time of Year**:

KIDS Breed in the Early Spring, as they come into season females being irresistible to males.

### **Length of Childhood**:

Mature in only 5-8 years but live to be 60-80 since they have such a cushy life.

## **Additional Info**:

Childlike
 and incredibly cute, but their behavior changes by tribe to tribe. KIDS
 mimic the behavior of children, adapting to the social order. Some
tribes will have baby like KIDS while others will be more mature or even
 warrior like. Positive attention and nurturing are what they thrive on
and will use their cuteness and child like nature to seek such. This is
also a ploy, they are eating and living for practically free, doing
minimal work and goofing off inciting laughter and smiles. The species
is almost a parasite as they freely move and breed without limit, having
 a litter of maybe 4 or up to 10. They breed fast and are mature in only
 5-8 years but live to be 60-80 since they have such a cushy life.

As
 long as people like children they most likely will like they and allow
them to live around or in their homes Balls of fluff and cute like a pet
 taking up space but able to talk and contribute by doing chores.Habits
evolved to invoke a parental response. The species survival is assured
as people identify them as children and no one is going to let a baby or
 child get hurt or killed. Running to any adult and seeking protection
if danger approaches which most people will defend them.

Many
people have grown up with them as their lifespan is comparable to most.
Having one around growing up Makes them seem like family and more
defended Many people will die to protect family and KIDS hide among the
women and children So no matter what KIDS will survive as long as people
 do Kids are as smart as anyone but use their habits to avoid work and
go play.This makes them not too educated. Some are more academic but the
 majority are lazy.

Most personalities for KIDS are very
emotional and childlike. Sugary sweets and honey are favorites of them,
many love food to the point of becoming fat. Cubs are always watched by
their parents, males know their family by scent and young look to both
for food and support. KIDS do mate for years but seasonal mating they
can find other mates. Partnerships are quite variable as many races are,
 some are monogamous while others form polyamory relationships.

Names
 for kids are usually cute sounding as parents pick them specifically to
 sound nice or cute. Kipper, Di Di, Peeps, Winky, Tanka are all names
chosen as well as many many more cute names. Kids love flowers and
berries and will plant them wherever possible and if available. Singing
 often the KIDS will often hum or sing as they walk down the path or
working next to a mom or adult. The singing most of the time is welcomed
 as they sound cute at their higher pitched voices.
