Biology and Appearance
Nagai are gaunt humanoids that average 1.8 meters tall. Their straight black hair and pale white skin reinforce the image of the Nagai as handsome but emaciated specters. The Nagai are aware of the effect their appearance has on other humanoids and exploit it. Letting others see them as weak until the time is right to reveal their true skills. Nagai clothing and hairstyles are diverse, revealing the species' penchant for individualistic expression.
Society and Culture
The Nagai are mysterious, knife-wielding warriors with unshakable charisma and a strict code of honor. Two overriding factors determine the temperament of the Nagai: the demands of honor and fear of their "Old Enemy." the Tofs. The Nagai have few sympathies aside from familial ties. They have already braved the worst hardships under the Tofs, so they fear little else, nor do they let concern for others take precedence over their drive for personal freedom. Nagai are intense, focused, and disciplined warriors. They are known to kill without hesitation if it suits them, particularly if honor demands it. If there is no honor in killing, or if their foe is weak, they take no pleasure from the victory. Some Nagai display a bizarre; some would say cruel; sense of humor born from years of adversity. Even this is sometimes used as a weapon to throw an enemy off balance long enough for the Nagai to strike.
