A vibrant and all-female people defined by their crimson eyes, vulpine features, and a culture of perpetual fertility. They navigate the world with a sense of uninhibited naturalism and a physical presence that commands attention through sheer vitality.
Rubicundans are distinct for their smooth, velvet-like skin and striking crimson red eyes.
They possess lupine or vulpine ears atop their heads and long, plush tails. Anatomically, they are characterized by extremely slim frames contrasted with very wide hips and exceptionally large breasts. A hallmark of their species is a perpetual state of chosen pregnancy, with bellies that are large and perfectly round, as they typically carry triplets. They prefer minimal attire, wearing only simple cloth bindings that cover the chest and lower pelvic region, though they often discard these garments entirely in moments of physical exertion or relaxation. They are frequently seen placing both hands on the center of their abdomens, a gesture of centering their personal power.
Plains
The period before the first chosen gestation where the tail grows to full length.
The majority of the life cycle, marked by the distinctive round belly and triplet carriage.
A late stage where the crimson eyes deepen to a dark maroon color.
Their society is founded on the concept of voluntary abundance.
Every adult Rubicundan chooses to enter a cycle of gestation that lasts for the majority of their adult life, viewing the state of being pregnant as the ultimate expression of health and status. They lack the social taboos of other humanoids regarding nudity and personal space. They live in communal lodges where they spend significant time resting together, often in repose with legs splayed to facilitate comfort and social grooming. Wealth is measured not in gold but in the visible health and roundness of one's form.
Rubicundans lean toward Neutral or Chaotic Good alignments.
They value personal freedom and the celebration of the body. Their spirituality is centered on 'The Great Swell', a personification of the fertility of the earth. They do not follow rigid laws, instead following the natural rhythms of their own bodies.
They find the modesty of other cultures confusing and often laughable.
While they are friendly and hospitable, they may startle other humanoids by suddenly tearing off their minimal clothing if they feel too warm or restricted. They see themselves as the peak of mammalian vitality and often pity those who do not share their physical abundance.
They settle in wide, fertile plains and grasslands.
Their architecture consists of low, circular pavilions and soft, carpeted dwellings. Beds are the central furniture of any Rubicundan home, designed to be large and communal to accommodate multiple individuals resting comfortably with their bellies exposed for sunlight or social contact.
