Tabaxi

A species of cat-like people that are native to the lands currently claimed by the Kingdom of Seekliff. Known for their wanderlust and curiosity, Tabaxi wander the world in search of a life's purpose- and once found, they dedicated their lives to lovingly and passionately embracing their profession.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Tabaxi come in a large array of shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns; however, they all have a few traits in common. All tabaxi have feline-like heads, cat tails, and digitigrade legs. Their hands are often described as "paw-like." Tabaxi can stand anywhere from 3'6" to 6' in height.
Almost all tabaxi have fur, which can come in a variety of colors and sporting various patterns. They often resemble existing species of feline, such as lions, tigers, leopards, and even house cats; however, they can also have unique patterns not seen on cats. They are also most often colored like feline species as well, commonly as brown, orange, gray, black, white, or beige. There are some tabaxi, however, that have been seen with colored fur that is not natural to felines such as blue or red.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Tabaxi have excellent nightvision and are quite perceptive of their surroundings. They have a great sense of smell.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Tabaxi name their children after things that inspire them, turning these things or concepts into multi-word names. Oftentimes they are simple descriptors of a place or thing, but some tabaxi names can be abstract concepts or more poetic.
Due to the length of their names being anywhere from two to upwards of eight words, a tabaxi will often choose the most important word from their name to make into the "common name," which is quicker to say and easier to remember than a full name.
Some example tabaxi names include Veil of Shadows (Veil), Radiant Dawn (Radiant), Rising Sun (Rise), Cloud on the Mountaintop (Cloud), and Skirt of Snakes (Snake).
