Rikeuninerd (singular: Rikeuninerd, plural: Rikeuninerd, adjective: Rikeuninerda) are a sapient species originating from Rehy. They are known for their genetic diversity, having the subspecies Scayikraa due to allopatric speciation in the form of mountains and desert. Rikeuninerd have an extremely protective nature, and a crave for knowledge. Despite a majority of Rikeuninerda having wings, most have lost their ability to fly.

Ethnic Groups

Central Reika

Central Reika are an ethnic group of race Reika. Having a culture mixed between Dika and East Reika, their phenotypes are also mixed.

Deasya

Deasya are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. A seafaring people group, they are the second oldest ethnic group and began the now widespread culture of fishing in Scayikra.

Deedya

Deedya are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. They are similar to Deasya and many consider them to be one major ethnic group with Deedya pink colouration being a minor variation.

Desysya

Desysya are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. A life style difference meant that Deedya nomads gradually became a separate ethnic group. It is uncertain when Desysya became separate from Deedya.

Dya

Dya are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. Dya formed as Deasya expelled and shunned individuals for aggressive behaviour, some of those individuals formed societies that gradually developed into a separate ethnic group.

Dyya

Dyya are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. The use of currency by some individuals in Screea’s early history resulted in them relocating further into the desert, eventually forming a separate ethnic group.

Dika

Dika are an ethnic group of race Reika. A seafaring people group, their ancestors discovered and founded Rakara roughly 40'000 BBT.

East Reika

East Reika are an ethnic group of race Reika. Rakara and Reika DNA can be traced back to here.

East Rakara

East Rakara are an ethnic group of race Rakara, they are similar to South Rakara but darker in colour.

Kusua

East Rakara are an ethnic group of race Rakara. Dika individuals who did not arrive on the island that is now Ki arrived further west and traveled into the mountains, likely in fear of Sscaa. 30'000 years of surviving in harsh, isolated alpine conditions made Kusua radically different from their ancestors.

North Rakara

North Rakara are an ethnic group of race Rakara. On various occasions, ambitious individuals from existing Rakar nations traveled north and founded small villages. Fish is sparse in northern regions, resulting in North Rakara averaging a short 111 cm tall.

Scaa

Scaa are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. They are simlar to Scua but are a distinguished ethnic group due to geographic location and cultural differences.

Scra

Scra are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. Remote villages where established between Screeaa and Dyya when money using merchants began leaving Screea. Due to there remote nature, they are now a separate ethnic group.

Screeaa

Screeaa are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. They are the oldest ethnic group, and all Scayikraa DNA can be traced back to Screea, suggesting the origin of subspecies Scayikraa.

Scua

Scua are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. They are phenotypically similar to the Ssca, but exhibit greater genetic diversity as they are rebels who do not practice eugenics. 38% of Scua have albinism as albino individuals moved to the area to avoid persecution by Ssca.

South Rakara

South Rakara are an ethnic group of Rakara, strongly resembling Dika with a grey feather mutation. It’s believed mass migration to Rakar occurred at 30’000 BBT, as the cliff dwelling societies of Dik became vastly overpopulated. Historical records show that Dika settlers first arrived in Scayikra Ssca, but where forced to travel elsewhere, some arriving on the island that is now Ki, the grey mutation becoming dominant and leading to the formation of South Rakar.

Sscaa

Sscaa are an ethnic group of subspecies Scayikraa. Some Dya began practicing eugenics, leading to the formation of Ssca. Ssca exhibit fewer phenotypic differences.

Biology

Hermaphrodites. Lays eggs. Many have lost the ability to fly (Exempt Sscaa, there special). Piscivores.

Society And Culture

Many live underground. They all like fishing.
