The Vara'tu

Overview

The Vara'tu are not technically a separate ethnicity, but their isolation from other Kepek and their drastically different appearance tend to lead others into believing they are. The Vara'tu are only found among the Kepeki royal family and are the result of exposing any Kepek egg to "royal sap" prior to it hatching - the ingredients of which are a closely guarded secret.

Vara'tu are enormous, even by Kepek standards, standing at an average of 10m tall, often with dark coloured scales, glowing markings and pupilless, glowing eyes. They also possess a pair of insect-like wings, though they are not capable of powered flight.

Any Kepek with even a single vara'tu parent will always be vara'tu, which ensures that all potential Empresses for the Kepek Commonwealth will also, always be vara'tu.

A Kepek with dark reddish-purple scales and glowing gold stripes that wind around her body. Her four eyes glow gold, with pale yellow pupils, though the glow almost obscures them entirely. She has a pair of large, butterfly-like wings and a tail ending in a tuft of fur. She has fur around her shoulders and wrists, and is wearing a white dress that fades to a deep honey-gold around it's ends. She is holding her arm out, a glowing yellow star hovers above it.

As all Vara'tu come from the same family, they all have the same family name: Vara'tu. Anyone who joins the family will also adopt this name, however, if the royal family looses the throne, they will also loose this title.

Given Names

Vara'tu follow similar naming conventions to Bektepi Kepek, often naming their children after astronomical objects. Many Vara'tu will also give themselves a name when they come of age, usually relating to their markings.
