FAQ UPDATE
What do Hapuna villages look like, and how are their homes constructed?
The Hapuna live on the colorful reefs of the Haukea, where they have simple homes in the natural environment. Most of these homes feature reef that crests above the waves at low tide, where the Hapuna can easily sunbathe on the platforms during their free time. Below, they have interconnecting reef pathways that allow them to mingle with their neighbors and play. Overall, their homes are made of reef and not much else. The major design of each settlement is around the connection of the people, and the marketplaces that bring them all together to interact.
What do Moakai villages look like, and how are their homes constructed?
The Moakai live deep in the sea in Ka'lei, where most light cannot reach. Instead of natural light, they use the bioluminescence from the plants and animals to light their towns and settlements, leaving a dusky glow about the towns. Their homes are carved into the natural rocks of the land, dug in to walls of the trench or the rocks on the floor. Because they are housed in landmarks of safety, there are no known settlements outside of the four established ones in Ka'lei. Between each of the settlements are strategic markers left to guide those unfamiliar with the currents, and often one will need a seasoned guide if they have never traveled so deep in the ocean.
Are there settlements outside of the official settlements in Kahikina?
The vast majority of the people in Kahikina live in one of the official settlements. We don’t limit owners to just living in those specified locations though so there is the possibility of random families living somewhere in the outskirts. We do not mind small settlements or homes being created to fit a character’s backstory, however they need to match Kahikina’s setting. It would be impossible for a Kahi’iko to live in the forest with no access to water, however one could settle in a small lake or pond that is close to a river. Remember, these are water dwellers, and need water in order to travel across the land. Additionally, the Moakai do not have anyone who settles outside of their established settlements, so we would not accept that backstory.
Who/what are the sea dwellers?
Not much was known about the sea dwellers outside of the stories passed down through generations. Some said that they looked similar to the current residents of Kahikina, whereas others claimed they are great beasts with grotesque appendages. It is only now, after 300 years, that they have established contact with those on the sea, and still many have yet to see them and only hear the rumors of those able to travel the distance to the coast.
Are there ways to get to the sea?
Yes, there is a main river that is used to travel between the freshwater settlements and those of the sea.
What are the relationships between the races?
Kahikina is a very hospitable setting, and there are no hard feelings between any of the races. While the Menehune might not understand or agree with what they consider to be decadence from the Kaha’iko, there is no animosity between the two races. The Kaha’iko just for the most part find the Menehune interesting and don’t quite understand them either.
In terms of the new races, both the freshwater and the sea races are hesitant when interacting with each other. The relationship is new, and unfamiliar to everyone, so there's a lot of lessons to be learned. There's no anger or animosity between the groups, but there's definitely a lot of hesitance with getting to know their new neighbors.
What is the area that the Hapuna can have their scales exactly?
We've made a guide to better show where the scales can be. The written info is in the race info page. (This is the maximum area that scales can show up, scales do not have to show up in all the places listed.)
What is the area that the Moakai can have their scales exactly?
We've made a guide to better show where the scales can be. The written info is in the race info page. (This is the maximum area that scales can show up, scales do not have to show up in all the places listed.)
Can the forehead lure on the Moakai be different lengths/styles?
Yes! There are three different lure lengths that a Moakai can have: Long, Medium, and Short.
How bright does the forehead lure glow?
While not as bright as a flashlight, the forehead lure does glow enough for a Moakai to use as a tool to see out about two feet into the darkness around them, as well as lure in others who may see the light. It is faint overall, and as they get closer to the surface the glow is not obvious unless it's night time.
How are hybrids viewed in Kahakina?
At this time, no known hybrids exist in Kahakina, because of the limited contact between the four races. The Menehune and the Moakai would be more resistant to accepting a hybrid, as they focus on keeping to themselves and their society. It is more likely that any family containing hybrids would be accepted by the Kaha'iko and the Hapuna, as they are a much more welcoming group to differences culturally.
