Notes (2017)[edit]

The Ovaghoun are a sub-species, intra-species race (if you prefer), and an ethnicity of the Major Race of Vargr from the same LAIR as other Vargr originate. The Ovaghoun delve deepest into the Third Imperium in its Coreward Sectors of Windhorn, Meshan and Lishun. In Corridor and Vland, they overlap with the Aekhu. In Antares, the Ovaghoun overlap and take pity upon the Irilitok. Ovaghoun Travellers range the furthest from these Sectors.

Special Abilities: Male Rage-3, Female Rage-3 Though not as passionate as the Urzaeng, the Ovaghoun are balanced across the sexes in their capacity for combat focus. This makes the Ovaghoun valued as warriors regardless of gender and polity. Sophontologists conjecture that this Rage trait comes from a shared branch of Vargr genotype given to both the Urzaeng and the Ovaghoun.

Female Dancer-3 The female Ovaghoun cultivated Dancer skills for a variety of desert environ situations including melee combat. While males on Lair would sit and watch in their desert pavilions, the females were expected to learn and perform dances to suit any observance from birth celebrations to death memorials.

Gender Consensus: Female 50% Male 50%

Voice: Guttural

Language: Verbal, The Ovaghoun feature their own language, one that is understood by more Vargr sub-species than most others. Conversation can be strained by their Poice, but is generally intelligible by most Vargr and Humaniti. Only Urzaeng stand out with more language-force behind their words.
