    The Originals

    There were several original blood lines when the first Suesai's became known. It is rumored that every color within their markings is from an orginial line though there is no written history on this. Only the whispers of elders and the council on what is and has ever been becomes a tale.

    "If you bleed, you can die."

    The original culture to these creatures is in fact some what civilized, though nobility may find it more savage based, they do in fact read and write. They can understand a multitude of languages and different forms of writing. It is unsaid how this is though it is believed; those born among their people or have it passed down are still able to do this. Free born Suesai take a great deal of pride in preserving their own kind. Due to their immortal status as some may view. Mature Suesai are the only ones allowed to bond and reproduce, which leaves to dwindling numbers over time. Suesai surface from the waters where they live when typhoons and tropical storms start brewing. It is not uncommon for those enslaved on land to be seen out in these types of conditions. As their kind is drawn to anything water based whether fresh or salt.

    Suesai do wear clothing, and have not true style to them, though men rarely where shirts, it is typical tribal like wear mixed with a rather cultured touch. Sometimes they will wear simple sashes of clothing. While others will wear more form fitting dress or pant like attire. It is not uncommon for free Suesai to wear sea shells, beads and bones, made and collected from the sea, with their attire.

    Although the species only seems to have sexual intercourse to breed, they are still an oddly affectionate species in manner. Those that are bonded or will be bonded will rub faces against the other. They also rub their face along the hands, arms, neck and face of those they have any sort of affection for. They do not like others in their personal space, but seem to have NO issue getting in the space of others.

    Please take note that in this species Suesai do not share breeding mates and if they do it is something taboo to free born's. Due to their jealous nature and aggressive they do not like sharing their infatuations with OTHER Suesai either.

    It has been rumored a Suesai will KILL another Suesai especially if they are lower then them by markings. If not wound them to the point they would be ashamed to be seen. It doesn't seem to be an issue if others species show interest.

    Mannerisms for this species tend to be a mixture of both savage and cultured. They do not have the proper manners to sit and dine, as needless to say they hunt and eat their food raw. The do greet each other with a sign of respect. Those that hold only one face elite marking will get a nod of head from those of the same markings or "lower", while those that support both face markings will be given a nod of head and balled left fist over heart. This is done by those with the same marking and lower. If one does not give the greeting it is a sign of disrespect, and those that have been captured and NOT raised as slaves tend to still do this greeting when seeing another Suesai whether slave or not.

    Suesai have no Gods or religion of any sort. They believe that there is no higher being, besides those that came before them. When they die, their bodies are wrapped in exotic shells and other things collected from the sea. Those that are close or know a Suesai that has passed on to be with the ocean mourn for seven days. In which this time they do not eat, speak or interact in anyway with others.

    "Water is the true life."

    Suesai Lore and Rumors

    The beast of Orbis
    "If you are not careful, Orbis will come and take you away."
    One of the Suesai's from the dawn of their existence. It is unclear where he came from, though his tales and horror stories of killing their kind have been whispered through the majesties. Most know from the tales of the beast killing Suesai at birth if he did not see any potential in them. His prejudiced nature towards those that did not bare markings he found beautiful. Most do not know how Lume over threw him, but it was said he could not bring himself or maybe he was unable to fully kill Orbis. Regardless he was exiled from their home, and no one has been rumored to have seen him sense. Though parents will still whisper the tales to their cubs in hopes to scare them from wondering off or misbehaving.
    "Do not wonder to far, for Orbis will snatch you into the darkness."

    It is rumored that if you wonder to far to the surface, you will never return.
    It is rumored that if you swim down in the forbidden trenches you may hear the calls of a lost female. A female who was locked away for her betrayal to their kind. Lost forever in a pit of darkness, to be forever left alone.
    It is rumored that those of paler coloring lack the sensibility to be true Suesai.
    It is rumored that those of darker coloring carry higher aggression levels.

    The savior Lume
    "And then a new wave washed away the old."
    Like the Beast of Orbis. Lume was one of the first born into the ocean world. Though Lume was the eldest of three sons. His closeness was not to his brothers Oceanic or Aquatic, but to Orbis. It is said that in the beginning the two shared such similar views. It wasn't until Amphrite stepped in did Lume turn his back on the evil that had purged their waters. It is rumored Lume's battle with Orbis lasted several tides. However it ended though it was unknown to all. When it was Lume that emerged from the trenches and not Orbis, a new ruler-a new bloodline became the leader for the free born's.

    The ghost Nympha
    "Come little cub, come play with me."
    One of the triplets from the middle elder Oceanic. Out of the three offspring she was the only one to be a blood bender, and one of the first handful born after it was labeled taboo. Though Oceanic kept it a secret from the elders including his eldest brother Lume, it is said he let her practice out in the vast space of the ocean. No one know what happened the day she snapped. Only that she was caught eating her twin sister, it was rumored the fight broke out of their brother Natus. Though he has never spoke on whether those actions and rumors were true.
    Several elders had tried to stop her from cannibalizing her twin, but it resulted in the uncontrolled antics of her abilities. Which left most of the bones in her body breaking but the of three elders. Two of which happened to be her parents. In the dismay and shock of what she did, it was said her broken and torn body was thrown into the under water trenches. Where no one could escape the depth and now one could hear the cries of a dying body.
    What most did not know was the Suesai was locked away within stone cage. Guarded and under watch at all times, a Suesai who had lost all sensible reasoning. A Suesai used to hunt down her own kind; whenever elders found one to be a threat.
    "It's so dark here, do you bring me the light?"

    The armored Titanus
    Titanus was a massive Suesai. One that out of all the originals surpassed them in size and strength. Though unlike a great deal of their kind. Titanus only showed affection for his own sister and cousin. Which later resulted in creating his own blood line. One that after a few generations created heavier scales, and a lack of glowing markings. Due to this Titanus was warned by those of the higher elites to claim one from another blood line. In hopes to breed back a true Suesai concept. Though his refusal resulted in his entire bloodline to be banished, to purge the Suesai impure blood.

    The forgotten Albens
    Albens is a Suesai in which no one knows where he came from. It is rumored he is considered a 3rd Majesty. And if you see him within the dark he is in fact an elite--though an elite raised among commons. Albens suffers and is to this date known as the only albino suesai. No one knows who his parents were but it was rumored he was from an original. He was found and raised among a common hunting family, and though became an amazing hunter himself. His white nature makes him a prime target thus creating him to be one of the only few that has to hunt solo. Among his paleness and eerie appearance there have been questionable moments on his actual mental stability. Though creative in weapons he seems to be a creature that does not care about his oddities as he is still considered to be a force to be weary of.




    Suesai are a race once known in lore as the hearts of the ocean. A creature of both feline and aquatic descent, also known as the Aquatic Lions of the sea they were once heavily sought after. Like sirens to sailors they were both a curse and a gift. There rare beauty and overly dominating nature with a greed to control and eat anything that stands against them.

    Suesai were once hunted for their beautiful pelts and for exotic pets, for when skinned their markings still glow and unexplained reason not even their species understands. Due to their abilities and long life spans they were also caught, broken and bred to create more vibrant slaves.

    The first span of them in written text comes back close to four hundred years ago. When the waters were so heavily populated with them their was a low source of other aquatic species, presumably due to their predatory and carnivorous ways.

    Over the years Suesai became a hunted sport for mortal men, a great deal of them lost their lives being dragged from the safety of the waters they called home. If it was not mortals it was the hunt of leviathans and rouge Suesai that played heavy factors in their survival.

    Over two hundred years ago the raging war among Leviathans and Suesai became so heavily filled with violence. That even mortals knew of the battles raging in the seas. With such a population the Suesai were actually succeeding in numbers to get rid of their arch nemesis. Though for each Leviathan killed at least three to four Suesai were as well. Being a delicacy to the monster like sea creatures, Suesai were soon being made the hunted not the hunters.

    Over time the species was slowly dying off, between the lass of many by captivity and or death. The species itself had suffered almost eighty years of war between Leviathans causing a great decrease in their numbers. Since the written dawn of their time till now they have suffered several major oceanic battles. The annihilation of their species almost hit them in the past hundred or so years. Leaving less and less freeborn Suesai living into he deep waters, but those numbers are still decreasing. Causing them to stay hidden, deeming the surface above their waters a danger-taboo.
