Tabaxi

The first of the Beastkin to be elevated to sentience through the acts of Zylo, the Bloodied Star. Through her experiments in the art of giving animals sentience and seeing how they interact with the other Humanoids in the world. The Tabaxi and the Leonin are two of the same coin, with Tabaxi being the more lithe and dexterous while the Leonin focus on strength.   The Tabaxi tend to be very reliable people in regards to integrating into society. This is because the Tabaxi are expert hunters, climbers and rangers. They have used their feline perception to great heights and makes them a valued member of any party.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Tabaxi's don't necessarily have their own social structure, the main form of government they have would be clan based structure with the Leonin, where they roam the savannas in Prides. The Prides are strength based, and the Prideleader is determined by the strongest Leonin or Tabaxi. This is where the conflict arises, because Leonin are undoubtedly stronger than Tabaxi, which ends with Leonins almost always becoming the Prideleaders of their specific Clans.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Tabaxi's specifically roam either the Jungles of the world or are located within the Savannah. Due to their cat like behavior, they prefer to live in these environments where their reflexes shine.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Tabaxi names are a bit odd compared to their Leonin counterparts. Tabaxi names are often branded by the Leonin Prideleaders as a way to distinguish their abilities and their usefulness to the Pride. Their names also signify something that happened to Pride around the time the Tabaxi was born, for example, the time of day when they were born, or an animal that strayed across the savanna and was hunted. When Tabaxi's integrate into Beorc society, their names tend to be too long to be distinguished, so most Beorc tend to shorten their name to either the first or the second word of their name.   Tabaxi Names: High Noon (Noon), Owl in the Morning (Owl), Fine Smoke (Fine), Eclipse of the Moon (Eclipse) and Elite Chance (Chance).
