Description
This is a design study for the Duga. A sample representative of the design possibilities for this concept.

Quick Pitch: Zero (Megaman Zero), Emo Culture, Pandas, Orcas, Giraffes

The Duga are the people created by Lightning. There are few of them, and they live sparsely.

There is very little variance between individuals. Dugan are 5ft tall, lithe in build. They have four digit hands and two toed feet. The inner toe is bulbous, and the outer toe is flat. They have triangular ears at the sides of their head. They have a wet nose, with males colored red and females colored pink. Their skin color hues on pale yellow-orange (peach) and their hair and eyes are yellow in color, with a rare red-orange. their skin is covered in a light fuzz. they have a prominent left upper canine tooth. Their hair part above their left eye, males tend to let their hair cover their right eye. additionally, their hair from the back splits. for males, it splits into two ribbons, one larger than the other one. for females, it splits into three, with the center ribbon being the longer one. Males tend to keep their hair longer.

As they age, the Duga experiences some changes. Their ears lengthen as they age. As children, their ears are short and point downwards. Once they are adults, their ears are long and point straight out, or even upwards. once they become elderly, their ears continue lengthening and droop downwards.
Another change they experience are the various markings on their bodies. They are born with no markings. At certain ages, their skin darkens in certain areas. Between ages 3 to 5, their ear marking develops. Between 7 to 11 years, their lower eyelids darken. From 13 years to 17, they develop their legs and feet markings. At 18 till 22 their arms and hands are marked. 23 thru 25, their upper eyelids and entire eye socket darken. From 26 till 30, their face markings show. Most of these markings aren't too distinct between individual, however two of them are. Their ear marks are inherited from their father, and their face marks are inherited from their mother. There are 10 types of ear and face markings. Siblings have the same markings. If a Duga meets a stranger with the same markings, they treat each other as siblings. In turn they refrain from partnering until their face marking show. Especially if they already have the same ear marks.

They have no culture. They have no nation, they are stateless. They follow the customs of wherever they live. The closest to a population center is a small colony of a few dozen hosted in Lor lands. The rest are scattered among many nations. they tend to be treated as exotic by the local populace. Fraternal Twining is not uncommon. The only cultural aspect they possess is their marriage ritual, in which they share a drink from the same bowl, and exchange an item of personal value. This item tends to be an ornament or tool.

They suffer from mourning amnesia. In which an individual will fully forget a loved one they have lost. As such, they are incapable of mourning. This leads them to be seen as coldhearted. As soon as they realize that either their parent, child, spouse, friend, or anyone they are dear of, has died, they forget of them as if they were strangers that have never met.
