Púkafólk - Races - Kanka

In appearance, the Púkafólk are small human-like creatures, pallid, no more than a meter in height, and very slight of build. They have larger heads and slightly bulging dark eyes. They decorate their bodies with white, blue, and green bioluminescent pigments in intricate patterns, for they have an art for tattoo ink that glows by the heat of the body. Púkafólk have little hair, lacking even eyelashes. They have a small but sprawling underground...

I feel like maybe these people are lacking in cultural and interpersonal depth. I set out to play with certain tropes in ways that amuse me (and I know I got that right), but as a culture they seem rather plain.

    Thanks for that! It’s probably pretty obvious that this was an attempt to create a society of “alien” or some “other” that has very relatable struggles and motivations.

    I think I will want to play more with their motivations. It can’t all be about merely surviving; Where’s the tension in that?
