Special Abilities:
Talent: Osmance-5 Their integration with Humaniti has allowed the Aekhu to take up the culinary arts to widen the diet of this sub-species, allowing them greater tolerance for a variety of foods. An Aekhu Osmancer is a valued Steward on vessels featuring both Vargr and Humaniti and can prepare meals for both easily with little partitioning and maintain the carnivore tendency of their racial pride. It is also reported that Aekhu, to Human opinion, have better table manners, Charisma and protocol than average Vargr during meals.

Talent: Curiosity-1 Though the Aekhu who do not keep up their Knowledges degrade them like other sophonts do, their integration tendency allows this sub-species to learn new Knowledges faster from other races than other Vargr sub-species who are less open-minded. After character creation, an Aekhu can annually pick up +1 above the usual learning rate of a Knowledge, so long as they are studying Knowledges sourced from other races.

Gender Consensus: Female 50% Male 50%

Voice: Guttural
Language: Verbal, The Aekhu feature their own language, on focused on integration with Humaniti and featuring Vargr-ized Anglic words without losing the purity of the racial identity. Other Vargr sub-species find the Aekhu flexible with Humaniti without losing their Charisma. There is an unspoken envy concerning this.
Poice: Firm, In the general presence of Humaniti, Aekhu have retained a firm presence behind their speech so as to maintain their racial pride and identity and personal Charisma.

Though one can make contact with an Aekhu in, say the Spinward Marches or Deneb Sectors, this Anchor-rat is open to discussion with those sophonts whom have made contact enough to merit updating the above data. Send your notations to Serue (Knoellighz 1221) immediately.
