Tonations

Tonations are a hardy race of sea faring people that inhabit the "Tonation Island Chain ". Their bodies, like their Norucian ancestors, is of the Derik body type. Unlike most races, the "Tonation" title extends to two different races of people. The Eastern Tonations, which are Norucian decendants, and the Western Tonations, who inhabited the island before its new residents set up shop.

Attributes (Eastern)
Like most of the Derik body type, Tonation's sport a tame skin colour. They are pale, like beachsand, but often get slightly tanned from being in the sunlight. They usually sport a few freckles, and if they are subject to intense sun, their skin will burn.

They have lanky statures, perfect for swimming in the water. Unless trained otherwise, their body is made with lean muscle, making them fast and, albeit a little weaker, effective fighters.

The color of their hair can range from brown to black to blond to red. Most Tonations let it grow out, as with their facial hair. Usually tied up into neat braids, and often sporting dreadlocks.

Attributes (Western)
Unlike thier Eastern bretheren, the Western Tonation's skin can be desribed as tan, with slightly golden yellow undertones. They have slightly slanted eyes, which is usually only an attribute available on a Lo-Krin body type.

Their body structure is almost exactly like their Eastern counterparts, lanky and streamlined.

Unlike the other Tonations, the natives of the island shave most of their hair, because it is seen as barbaric to be unkept, and, while no longer a threat, the island chain was plagued for a long time with insects like nits and lice, which could be a major problem if you had a large amount of hair.
