Fortunately his fun-loving nature is usually there to soften the blows.

Education: Pastoral, animal husbandry, desert survival, military.


Racial/Ethnic Background: Born as ambiguous hermaphrodites, each Shu beast develops differently as they grow. some remain fully hermaphroditic. Some develop one gender fully while the other sex atrophies. Some have both genders atrophy completely. All sexes raise young communally in pouches.

The Lion-folk despised the Shu as sexual deviants, and attempted to exterminate them in the name of their gods. The survivors fled to the deepest desert where they have carved their community into secret sandstone canyons beyond the sand-sea.

Personal Background: Deshret was born two generations after the leonine campaign of genocide against the Khemetians. As a teen he spent several years in the mandatory military service, training with a variety of weapons, but decided to peruse dryland agriculture instead.

Fighting Style: Sebekkah and Tahtib
