Special Abilities:
Talent: Osmance-5 Their integration with Humaniti has allowed the Aekhu to take up the culinary arts to widen the diet of this sub-species, allowing them greater tolerance for a variety of foods. An Aekhu Osmancer is a valued Steward on vessels featuring both Vargr and Humaniti and can prepare meals for both easily with little partitioning and maintain the carnivore tendency of their racial pride. It is also reported that Aekhu, to Human opinion, have better table manners, Charisma and protocol than average Vargr during meals.

Talent: Curiosity-1 Though the Aekhu who do not keep up their Knowledges degrade them like other sophonts do, their integration tendency allows this sub-species to learn new Knowledges faster from other races than other Vargr sub-species who are less open-minded. After character creation, an Aekhu can annually pick up +1 above the usual learning rate of a Knowledge, so long as they are studying Knowledges sourced from other races.
