The Nomads

Description

Figured it was about time I introduced you guys to these buggars!
On the planet Ephomeris, where Alma originated from, there are nomadic groups that wander the landscape not part of any one society. Often times they are the misfits and individuals that have rejected the traditions of their own people. Whether it be for sincere reasons, or for the simple fact they did not belong. It is hard to live in the wilderness without the proper protection, it being harsh and unkind to those whom wander it without a group. However the beings whom hold the title of 'nomads' often times are able to surpass these boundaries. Becoming masters of their terrains, and instead of dying, flourishing. 
This here is one of those examples, a meridian family of misfits. 
The two heads of this harem is Ativaeus and Yanira, seen first and last on the list. Yanira was originally from the main Ephiri colony of Inthi,  while Ati was from the waters. Kind of a contradictory pairing, a sweet forest dweller and a ruthless killer. Yanira discovered Ati injured after a battle for the position of Alpha among his own people, being the sweet and at times stupid girl she is she decided to help the creature that had devoured countless of her kind. It was a long trail from there, filled with many compromises and countless mistakes. But they learned how to make it work. Unfortunately her people were not as forgiving upon learning of her betrayal.  

Yanira was banished for her decision, and unable to return to his own people Ati went with her into the deserts of Ephomeris. 
As you can see, things sorta progressed from there. In present day Ati and Yanira are the two proud parents of five restless and mischievous children, some more on the way, including the previously introduced Ibeyi! Despite their best attempts it seems the Ethreal has cursed them only to have daughters, perhaps the newest children that're on the way may be different. 

Ibeyi was teh first child to be born into the group, an as she grew in age took after both her parents in many ways. Possessing both her mothers sweet heart, and her fathers determination. The purple mass behind her being her 'waterbear,' going by the name of Bahn. Unlike the average snuffle-monster to select a companion, Bahn is a male. As such greatly more aggressive than the females, and much harder to train. To be honest, Ibeyi never perfectly 'trains' him even if it was better than how it began. 

Esra is the second oldest of this groups children, as sweet and kind hearted girl always seeking excitement. Keeping to her Ephiri linage she shares in their desire to collect all things beautiful and precious. Aka: SPARKLY. Think of them as big blue crow..monkeys.. She often assists her mother in the creation of every day necessities, including clothing and basket weaving. Though there is no doubt in this girls eyes her elder sister is her role model. Esra consistently attempting to follow in her footsteps.

Kiyah is what you may call the 'problem child' and 'Daddies girl.' She is has the hottest temper of the group, often times acting more like a Symph then anything else. Assisting her father on his hunts, and training relentlessly to become a trained fighter like him. Even if her stature and claws are not as long as his. 

Fee and Bee are the newest additions to the family, while they have not had the chance to grow much they already have developed quite the pair of lungs. The family referring to them as the 'screamers' due to the fact that when things do not go their way they have a habit of screeching. A very high pitch, glass shattering, ear drum busting screech. Fee has a much more submissive personality in comparison of her sister Bee thus far. Preferring to whimper and cling to others  while her sister will happily wiggle around and put anything she can in her mouth. Whether it is the best idea to do so or not.

So that's the family! A brief history on them and a bit about their children. To say that they're doting parents would be putting it lightly, despite Ati's Symph nature and upbringing he is an outstanding father. Willing to go above and beyond for his family, and rip apart anyone whom dares to bring harm to them.

Expect more of these babies soon guys!

OH one more thing!
A sweet fact for you all to think about in the days to come.
One of the people on here is going to die  
welp! onward!
