Otrus

Lore
The Otrus are one of the different races of people that reside in the underground city of Lesharia, deep under the crust of Varris Prime, the planet on which they reside. Closer related to humans than their Varrine brothers, they have pure human blood coursing through their veins. Originally, they resided above ground, in different prosperous nations, holds, and cities. Despite being decimated by plagues, wars, and scourges of beast, they stayed strong, never yielding to their ill accommodating environment, instead fighting, and surviving.

Description
Otrus people resemble humans in most manners, with few noticeable differences. Otrus are very much smaller than their Varrine kin, and even shorter than most humans. Otrus males stand at average 5'7, with females standing at average 5'3.

Otrus are also well known for their bright, well, everything. Their hair ranges in colors from whites to yellows to more exotic colors, such as pink, light blues, and greens. Nearly any color is possible for Otrus, save some darker colors like black and brown. Much like their hair, their eyes are capable of achieving exotic colors, with colors such as pink, white, orange, and more being possible for them.

Otrus have pure human blood, with similar types. However, due to their world falling to Eldritch, their blood and DnA have become slightly corrupted, noticeable to only the most trained eyes.

Culture
Otrus culture is most closely related to that of human culture, with many similar ideas. However, due to their environment and history, there are multiple notable differences.

Religion
Otrus religion post-Descent is very similar to Varris religion. Most practice Taipk, with the only difference being that they prefer to worship certain Goddesses over others. The Goddesses of Fire and Blood are considered to be higher in their religion, and as such are more often Token Goddesses for them.

Jobs and Economy, Government, Military, Language
See Varris page. Due to living in the same city as the Varris, many of these aspects of their culture have blended.
