Wich is more than often visible across their body during exertion. With their extremely pale, ashy skin, their black blood makes their veins even more noticable.

==== Food ==== | ==== Food ==== | ||
+ | The cuisine of the Gunja originated from cultivating mushrooms and fungi solely, as the Gunja themselves evolved to solely thrive off of these protein-rich cave fungi; when their technology advanced, however, so did their kitchen, as meat became more widely available and crops that allowed grain were cultivated and harvested, leading to grain-based products such as bread - which is still a luxury among the Gunja today. | ||

- | Gunja language is a sharp, complicated tongue. Extremely fast with similair tones yet possibly entirely different meanings. The Gunja alphabet is best described as runic etchings, with new variations on their letters and symbols being made each day. Though not every Gunja can read, let alone write. It's bussiness only scholars and scientists are concerned with. | ||
==== Naming ==== | ==== Naming ==== | ||
+ | Gunja naming is an anomaly that varies from city to city and stronghold to stronghold, as some parents name their children with deep meaning - while others refer to their offspring as the first, the second, the third, etc. Several common Gunja names are Marrekesh, Bannaat, Barresh, Yukrosh, Fannesh, and Sjarm. | ||

===== Technology ===== | ===== Technology ===== | ||
+ | The Gunja are a low-tech race that has yet to achieve regular flight. They have the means to produce low-grade fuel, the vehicles that operate on it, black powder, and the weaponry associated with it - though their firearms lack much in the way of capability and are thus used for hunting instead of Gunja-on-Gunja violence, as it would leave little to nothing of the other party. Gunja gunpowder weaponry is colossal - often with just one projectile inside - and commonly fires sharpened tusks made from the large predators they hunt. These weapons have no kind of range and are only effective point blank; while they' | ||

- | ==== Cave-crawlers ==== | + | |
- | Basically what the Gunja name their vehicles, cave crawlers are surprisingly well engineered to be adaptable to the cave systems. Most featuring a steam-pressured anchoring system that allows a Gunja to pin the vehicle to any surface at any angle. The most common models feature two wheels, though four wheeled buggies are not too uncommon either. | ||
===== Economy ===== | ===== Economy ===== | ||
+ | The Gunja economy revolves around the trade of wares and bartering. Reputation and fame as a hunt grant gifts and help, though any cave-dweller sells what they loot from the caves, while mushroom pickers trade a part of their harvest for meat or clothing. The only thing that resembles a central currency is black powder or fuel; although normal farmers and citizens have little use for such things, hunters and cave-dwellers rely heavily on it -which is why the trade with the aforementioned shifted to selling their meat, skins, or loot for fuel and black powder. | ||
