Description
Feel free to ask me any questions about Keuv, one of my most recent of finalized characters (aka, Characters that I have settled on THE design for, have personalities, histories, and all that jazz). Any questions about her will be listed here. :3

ABOUT KEUV

Q:You only show one side of her. What does her other side look like?

A: Her markings are comepletely symmetrical, which is why I show her facing one way to save space. However, I do show her from behind so You can see her markings from above (as well as see what she looks like climbing trees and trying to blend in...)

Q:Do you Role Play Keuv?

A: Yes I do!

Q: Is Keuv 17 in human years, or Kerrmakya? If Kerrmakya, how old is she in human?

A: Kerrmakya years and Human years are actually pretty much the same. So she's JUST a Seventeen year old, still not fully grown. She's just mature for her age, since she's been hunting since she was old enough to do so for her pack.

Q: Keuv's parents -- What are their ranks?

A: Keuv's dad (named Akando) is the Alpha Male, being the strongest, largest, and wisest of the pack. He usually stays with the main group, which is more of a nomadic Civilization then Keuv's hunting party, which is more animalistic. Keuv's mother is the Healer for the main group, and not an Alpha.

Q: How large is Keuv's pack?

A: Depends on what you see as her pack -- there is her hunting party, which has her, Four Runners, Two Trippers. Her main pack has about 34 members, not including cubs.

ABOUT THE KERRMAKYA SPECIES

Q:What is a Kerrmakya?

A: Kerrmakya are a wetland dwelling dragon species from Draconia, and share a joint ancestor with the Merdrac. Like Merdracs, they are mammalian and poisonous. They are also called Marshhunters, Swampdragons, Waterwolves, and Eagle hunters. They are actually simular to the platapus, who is also a poisonous aquatic mammal. Like the Platapus, they are egg layers, but feed their hatched cubs milk. Because of the egg laying and color shifting abilities, they are often mistaken for reptiles.

Q:On the subject of gliding, about how much distance can they glide considering their size?

A: Kerrmakya are are actually hollow boned, like a bird. This gives them extra strength but also makes them lighter for their airborne travels. They also have two "extra stomachs" that store a lighter then air gas that helps make them even lighter. However, they usually can only glide about 200 feet from tree to tree, though the higher they get, the more they can glide. They are pretty good at controling the glide, so they could actually control it when chasing after prey, avoiding trees and attacking from above or behind, digging their poisonous sixth claws in (or slashing at the prey with the claw).

Q:Are swamps their only homes or can they reside elsewhere?

A: They live anywhere where there is fresh or mixed water. Everglades, rivers, swamps, bogs, lakes, the list goes on. They tend to avoid the ocean since, on a rough day they would have a hard time getting anywhere despite being very strong swimmers. They also avoid areas with swift currents, prefering lakes, slow moving rivers, and wetland to quick water where there are cascades and waterfalls.

Q: Are all of them generally based with the same color?

A: No, I just like blue so tend to use it more often.

Q: s there a certain range of colors that's common? Orrr do they just come in any color at all? Orrr do they come in camouflage-ish color

A:Usually the base color is a cool color, and the markings are basicly any color. Horn and hair are usually grey, black, brown, or, occationally, a light tan simular to their claws. On rare occations the colors are reversed -- light warm base color with cool markings. Its sort of like a black panther or a king cheetah.

Q: Are they all basicly the same build?

A: While their builds are pretty simular, Keuv is a spotter, but almost big enough to be a Tripper.

There are a few "Ranks" in the Pack

Alpha: these are the two largest members of the pack, male and female -- they dont always have to be mates. They tend to be the best fighters in the group, and their main job is protection and leadership.

Tripper: Heavier set Kerrmakya are often the Trippers -- they are the ones that usually make the kill when hunting, knocking over the prey and attacking it with their paws.

Spotter: There is usually only about two to four spotters to pack, and they take turns. They must be keen of vision and hearing, as well as intelegent and mature. They make the calls when off in a hunting party, and directing the group's attack. When a hunting party splits from the main group, sometimes for days, they usually only have one Spotter with them.

Runner: The swiftest of the Kerrmakya, they are lean and lanky. Their job is to tire out the prey and lead them towards the slower Trippers.

Buzzer: These are the lightest of the group, usually cubs and adolecents that have shown skill in hunting and gliding. They scare the prey and drop items on them from above.

There are also ranks that go from cup to elderly and everything in between, but they are just pack members and have no title (unless they are the healer or Drum maker).

Q: What do the males look like?

A: Here are some examples [link] [link]

Q: Any rules for the markings?

A: Only a few-- most of the ones in Keuv's pack have eye markings like a mask (hense the name "Melimika" or wise bitter raccoon for their pack) and tend to have more markings on their tail paddle, as well as eyespots on their frills.

Q: Is the Alpha male/female the only two Kerrmakya allowed to mate?

A: No.

Q: Then does the male or female have more then one mate?

A: What is it with you people and mating?! Anyways, Kerrmakya breed for life, and form pairs inside the pack. Because of this, they are very picky over who they mate with. The entire pack helps raise the cubs.

Anyways, THIS is why I don't really make refrence pages -- I get carried away so easily that I end up with a TON of work. XD

Keuv and the entire Kerrmakya species belongs to /Tyra A/me.
