Name: Enessa (Singular), Enessae (Plural)

Genders: Hermaphrodites

Height: 6'6" - 7'0"

Hair: Snow-white, pink, or light blue

Eyes: Pink, human in shape and size

Ears: Enessae have large, fox-like ears

Tails: Enessae have thick, furry tails in the same number as their penile tendrils (between six and ten). These tails are bushy and fox-like, typically the same color as their head hair.

Combat

Enessae are consummate huntresses, combining a natural stealth and agility with amazonian strength. Most prefer to fight with a bow or throwing spear, giving them sure strikes from ambush before finishing their prey in close combat with daggers or axes. Enessae prefer armor made of treated hides and leather, usually from local predators they've slain and in snowy colors to maintain their natural camouflage.

Environs

Natives of the snowy world of Uveto, enessae are well-adjusted to cold weather and snow. Their natural adaptation includes snow-white skin and cold-colored hair, effectively making them albino (complete with pink eyes), and intense body heat compounded by a tremendous ability to store body fats for warmth, much like the colonial ausar have adapted. These body fats are usually stored in the belly, buttocks, and breasts, giving a well-fed Enessa an extremely curvy appearance. This chubby body type should not be underestimated, however, as enessae are also considerably stronger than the average human, owing to their size and natural musculature -- an important attribute, owing to their primitive style of hunting.

Reproduction

Enessae are a race entirely composed of hermaphrodites, meaning they have only one sex. Each Enessa has a fairly basic vagina, functionally similar to that of a human's with a small clitoris and black lips. Their female organs are surrounded by a writhing mass of thin tentacles that fill the role of penises. Most Enessae have between 6 and 10 penile tendrils, each between 6 and 10 inches in length with a series of three bulbous knots near the base that inflate during intercourse, growing turgid during and after orgasm to bind mates together. Enessae typically have one ‘dominant’ penis that is longer and thicker than the others, growing up to 16 inches in length. These tentacles are prehensile, and each has its own internal testes. This allows each tendril to have its own refractory period -- meaning a particularly amorous Enessa can keep a sexual encounter going for hours, right up until exhaustion takes hold.

Enessae pregnancy is fundamentally mammalian, with penetrative sex resulting in pregnancies that last six months. Once young are born, they grow quickly to adulthood over the course of one year. They are helpless for only a few days. This quick rise to adulthood is offset by the very short lifespan of enessae, who rarely live more than 10 years.

When two enessae engage in intercourse, impregnation of both partners is seen as highly undesirable and to be avoided, as the sire is expected to take care of her lover while she is with child. When pairs of enessae become mated, it is usually for life, and one of the pair will assume the ongoing role of mother and caregiver, and one the father and provider. In instances where enessae mate with offworlders or natives of other races, they have shown strong tendencies towards impregnating their partner rather than carrying children themselves.

Culture & Society: Enessae are solitary creatures, usually living alone or with a single mate and their children. Enessae typically live in large, easily moved tents made of bone, leather, and hide from large animals. They are prone to staying in the same abodes for extended periods of time, sometimes several years, so long as good hunting maintains.

While first contact explorers initially feared interaction with enessae huntresses during early exploration of Uveto, the enessae were eventually discovered to be surprisingly friendly towards off-worlders, and instances of violence were remarkably low. Indeed, several huntresses volunteered to act as guides and hunters for early exploration teams, and were instrumental in early mappings of the surface before the modern sensory relays were installed. Enessae DNA was even used in the early variants of the huskar gene mod that has allowed colonists to comfortably inhabit Uveto - a fact that many huntresses relish, treating the colonists as their “children.”

This friendship has maintained quite well since then. Enessae freely come and go from Irestead and other settlements, and many take ausar colonists as mates. Despite many, many generations of the short-lived race having passed since first contact, enessae today still treat the huskar as their responsibility, and there are many instances of them intervening to rescue an endangered colonist from a predator or natural hazard.

Lureling Enessae

Of special note is the relationship between the enessae and another species native to Uveto: the so-called ‘lurelings’, powerfully psionic creatures that live beneath the ice. Though research on the matter is thus far limited, it appears that enessae are very susceptible to psionics. It appears that lurelings prey on young enessae, psychically dominating them -- usually for life. The dominated enessa will follow her master above the ice, acting like a lure for adventurers and feeding back sensual pleasures to their master once they've secured a mate.

Lureling-bound enessae have existed since before First Contact, and appear to have diverged from their free-willed kin on a biological level. Different combinations of sexes, including pure female and male enessae, one apparently selectively bred for their appearance or other physical traits that help them attain mates for their master's pleasure.
