| Kavis look like ferrets with elongated, spindly limbs and a variety of spots and stripes as unique to them as fingerprints; their fur ranges from white to brown to gold to red-brown. They average five feet in height and have three-fingered two-thumbed hands; their tails are prehensile. They breed startlingly quickly, and if it weren't for frequent diseases, the world might well be awash with Kavis. Kavis in the city are desperate for jobs that will keep their families in permanent good living conditions. They have little common sense, but an inordinate lust for the shekel; the last thing you want to hear is a Kavi looking at you speculatively and saying 'I've got an idea'... Kavis are found practically everywhere: shopkeepers, technicians, secretaries and aides, janitors and servants, and anything else that makes minimum wage for long hours. Kavis out in the wild have reverted to a hunter-gatherer existence that brings them suspiciously close to feralness, often seizing upon a few central ideas and worshipping them to the point of total fanaticism and berserkly attacking anyone who dares to contradict them. A saying goes, 'No one's crazy as a Kavi'. Note on Kavis as PCs:
You can take a '-1 Kavi rep' because people will tend to believe that you're shiftless and not smart enough (except for the occasional idea) to handle anything complicated -- yes, it's speciesist, but this is not a perfect and politically correct world. Also, you'll have a poor health for resisting things like hunger and thirst and sickness.
