Description

The M`orsi are close cousins of the Rokea. All rays are different. There are over 300 different Species, but the tribes are not as many, and are made up of the general categories of Rays. The M`orsi are Luna's chosen, the children of the sea, whose tides she controls. Below are the four (three believed by most) tribes of the M`orsi; there are believed to be many more tribes, but they are yet to reveal themselves. Here are the Tribes:

Casus

Descended from the Deadly Stingrays, their tails are thin and whippy, and has a venomous stinger set at the end of the tail. The sting of the Casus does 2 aggravated damage every 2 rounds.

Initial Rage: 4

Initial Willpower: 4

Backgrounds: 3 Points, no Resources, Allies, or Contacts.

Habitat: The Carribean

Tribal Gifts: Tail of the Monkey(same as the Level 3 Lupus gift), Venomous sting (Same as the Level 4 Lupus gift), Shriek (Same as the Level 2 Bastet Gift)

Perculus

Descended from the Atlantic torpedo, or Electric ray, these M'orsi are smaller than most, but do not underestamate them. This has brought the tragic end of many. Their touch bears the shock of lightning. In Comas form, their touch does 2 points of electrical shock, 3 in Paene and Dimidum.

Initial Rage: 1

Initial Willpower: 3

Backgrounds: 3 points, no Resources

Habitat: The Atlantic Ocean

Tribal Gifts: Speed of Thought, Speed Beyond Thought (as the Silent Strider gifts), Thunder's Shock

Subseco

Not thought to be M'orsi by some closeminded Casus, but really are an adapted member of the species. These M'orsi are descended from the Sawfish. They are the Stargazers of the M`orsi. They are on good terms with all Theurges, Stargazers particularly. Their long snout has two rows of razor sharp teeth, and does Str+1 aggravated damage in Comas, Str+2 agg in Paene, and Str+4 agg in Dimidum form; it counts as a Melee weapon. Initial Rage: 3

Initial Willpower: 2

Backgrounds: 3 points, No Resources or Contacts

Habitat: Pacific Ocean

Tribal Gifts: Invisibility (as the Uktena Gift), Sight from Beyond (as the Theurge gift), Rend the Gauntlet

Ingeni

Thought to be extinct long ago, these creatures that time forgot, are well over 2 tons, with a wingspan over 20 feet in Comas form. These M'orsi descended from the Devilfish, the Atlantic Manta. In homid form, Ingeni are always over 7 feet tall. Their Dimidum form increases height by 250%, and Body Mass is Nearly Tripled, in pure muscle. The Ingeni are very rare, and once were the rulers of the M'orsi, but the humans hunted them to extinction. It is whispered that the Casus helped the humans to hunt the Ingeni, for the Casus were power hungry, and believed themselves to the be rightful rulers, which they are . . . for now. Only a couple dozen Ingeni exist, Storyteller discretion is advised.

Initial Rage: 5

Initial Willpower: 4

Backgrounds: 5 points, no Allies

Habitat: Deep Water, The Black Sea
