C1P5: A Timu god
A Timu (“Dark one”) is Zhiro’s race. Usually two-to-three feet shorter than a Tamakepe (or “Light Bringer”), with larger eyes better suited to nocturnal activity, non-retractable claws on the hands and feet, and more pronounced noses and ears, sharper canines and occasionally sharper pre-molars or incisors. Their skin colors typically vary from chocolate brown to caramel tones, and their faces and builds are generally stockier and wider.
Tamakepe, by contrast, are tall, thin, and almost blood-less in their complexion. They often have pronounced foreheads and elongated skulls, particularly in noble bloodlines, and high cheekbones. Their eyes are usually a variety of blue, green, or grey, and will take on an unusual luminescence. However, their sense of sight, smell, and hearing is not particularly good compared to a Timu. Their design was heavily influenced by an exhibit I saw on Ancient Egyptian Art at my local Art museum.
Although both are humanoid, neither are human.
