Zweite
Zweite are the pure blooded orc with an elemental affinity for earth born to a Gehen Volki mother. Zweite have an affinity for earth because the souls whom incarnate into Zweite bodies must go through the trials reshapes the Soul to carry the damp and ashen personality embodying the soil which entombs all those in Grabmal Tuefel's Hell. Zweite remember bits of their previous past life as a Zuesrt or God-Tainted Hi-no-min before they died and were buried or smothered by the transforming soil of Grabmal Tuefel's Hell before incarnating into their current life. Zweite also remember bits of their past life before that as a Fünft or God-Tainted Osen-no-hito before they died and were shredded and transformed into twist sea of razor sharp wire of HeftigTuefel's Hell before incarnating into their previous life. These memories normally start to emerge when a Zweite reaches physical maturity around the age of 15. With a Gehen Volki upbringing teaching freedom, harmony through respectful conflict, and reverence towards natural cycles the introduction of memories of Jundo-no-min oppressive societal norms and the complete contempt Jundo-no-min Culture treats the world and those of lesser status around them as exploitable expendable dross creates strong feelings in Gehen Volki with past lives as Jundo-no-min God-Tainted.

Basic Information
Anatomy
Zweite are pure blooded orcs with an elemental affinity with earth. Powerfully built, the pure blooded orcs of Virtateron typically stand just a few inches taller than most humans and have much greater muscle mass, their broad shoulders and thick, brawny hips often giving them a slightly lurching gait. Zweite typically have thick dull brown or ebony skin, coarse dark hair, heavy brows, beady black eyes, pointed ears, a broad low-bridge nose and protruding, tusk-like teeth.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Known for their great physical prowess, Zweite often form gangs, fight for sport, or join an organized army. Of the Gehen Volki they are the most likely to be Barbarians. They excel at both being warriors or commoner trades that require strength, especially mining due to their natural Stonecunning allowing them insight into mines and caves in addition to their Superior Darkvision.
Civilization and Culture
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Zweite are members of the Gehen Volki Culture. Due to remembering previous both the incarnation as the race whose elemental affinity proceeds their current life, and also the incarnation as the race whose elemental affinity proceeded that life, in addition to there is a significant chance they have parents, siblings, or children whom are not Zwete, racial condemnation against other Gehen Volki races seems ridiculous to this race.
Procreation and Interbreeding
An important thing to remember about Zweite heredity is that they fully have orcish heritage, but as long as the parent's race has orcish heritage trait their half can count as orc. When two Zweite procreate together their children are always Zweite. When a Zweite and a Zuerst procreate together their children may be a Zuerst, and Zweite progeny without statistical bias. When a Zweite and a Fünft procreate together their children may be a Zuerst, or Dritte progeny without statistical bias. When a Zwiete and a Veirte procreate together their children always are Dritte. When a Zweite and a Dritte procreate together their children may be a Dritte, or Zweite progeny without statistical bias.Interbreeding between Cultures
When a female Zweite procreates with a Jundo-no-min Mizu-no-min Gehen Volki God-Tainted male always begets a Zuerst. When a female Zuerst procreates with a Jundo-no-min Osen-no-hito God-Tainted male potentiall begets Zuerst, Dritte or Fünft. Only Dritte, Fünft or Veirte males can successfully procreate with a female Gehen Volki God-Tainted Jundo-no-min Mizu-no-min or Osen-no-hito, and when they do it produces Osen-no-hito.Remove these ads.
