Denote, this is a discussion, idea and help thread. I've got a rough idea and I have already several lovely people that help me out, be it with to bounce ideas off, to proof-read, to actually write stuff for me. This species submission is taking a lot out of me and while I really only approached the people closest to me about ideas and early stages, I think I'll benefit from putting it out in the open.
So yeah, some of you might have heard, or seen, me harping or complaining on about writing Tsumi, which in and of itself is a race I intend to create. Having talked to @Kyle regarding, he agreed to adopt them as a sub-faction for Neshaten. Going out of his way to write in an entirely new system for the Tsumi to settle down in. I'll take this ocassion to once again express my gratitude to him ^^
A short and quick summary, though a lot of things are subject to change still. Even before being subjected to the throes of the NTSE: The Tsumi are a race of warmongering semi-humanoids with a very cruel and punishing culture. Battle is glorified, honour is found in victory. The Tsumi are also indoctrinated into religion early on, making them reckless zealots that can go to war just to please their gods. Having gone through several debilitating wars, one of those featured an experimental bio-weapon, that soon took over their entire homeplanet, causing a mass extinction event, reducing their total population to 20 million. They fled their now uninhabitable homeplanet and wander to find unclaimed grounds. Tsumi culture features two extremes. The filthy rich and the wretchedly poor.

I think I'll also use this thread as a sort of diary, on what I already did and potentially what I should do. I'd love to have feedback here as well, from anyone interested in this. What I already have done is their summary, the history, a large part of their culture. External links and warnings for more graphic topics such as scarification(I linked and cited safe sources, the internet has pretty disgusting images about it). Red links towards two named character, Mithrandis and Ballas, both characters important to Tsumi history, yet red-linked because I'd rather focus on the general race first.
Any hints, thoughts, topics of discussions are all welcome here. If you are completely uninterested, I'm happy you've still read this thread at all, there's no need to feel obliged to answer. All in all, thank you thus far
