Kadies
Kadies

Kadies are squirrel-morphs varying from looking like man-sized squirrels with opposable thumbs, to more humanoid varieties that may even sport human-like head hair. Kadies are arboreal by nature, and as a whole tend to stay far away from urbanized areas. They do not have "towns", as such, tending to settle in loose clusters of tree houses, typically without much of anything in the way of organized government.

Adult male kadies tend to stand between 4' to 5' tall, with the females being slightly shorter. Kadies tend to use the rodent language of Skeek. They are stereotypically hyperactive, and spend much of their time up in especially large trees. Many of them don't lead much of an existence beyond feral life, gathering nuts and burying them, and living in holes in trees, hibernating through the winter, just as non-morphic mundane squirrels would do. These more "feral" Kadies are far less likely to use Rephidim Standard, and any Standard or Skeek they know is likely to be choppy pidgin.

Kadies that are more humanoid in form also tend to be slightly more anthropomorphic in behavior, being more likely to construct "tree houses" to live in, to speak proper Skeek and possibly Rephidim Standard, and to have some semblance of a community and a nominal government. They still tend to be territorial, however, and often respond to non-Kady visitors by angrily chattering from their tree branches and chucking oversized acorns at them.

Kady "settlements" are found mostly in heavily forested areas of Nordika, though not in sufficient number to be considered part of the "common species" to be found in any particular country.

PC Recommendations:

  • 1 - Trailblazing (minor, novice): Includes Climbing, which is a natural Kady skill, and even some odd PC Kady who has been raised by human parents should have enough affinity with the forest to pick up some basic woodsy skills at some point in his life.
  • 1 - Weapon Skill (minor, novice): Sling, slingshot, or thrown acorns/stones
