#naming scheme stolen from Homestuck - you know how the chess people get different names based on their social role etc? this is like that

Did I ever post the picture of my Dungeon World character? I had a lot of fun drawing them
Ravasect (mantis ppl) are an established race within everquest but the lore is fucking stupid (for example, they are social insects for some reason? that live in big cities?) so we disregarded all of it. I decided they live in smaller villages and herd sheep (part of the reason for that is that I wanted to give them clothing inspired by traditional dress from around motherland for shit and giggles - yes this is very much the midriff shirt from Detva, how could I resist. I wanted to give Craven a little hat also, but couldn't figure out how to fit it on their head)
I didn't give that much thought to their entire social structure since Craven lives outside of Ravasect lands right now, but I like the idea that while they do not have any biological need to eat each other, they still practice cannibalism for cultural reasons. Also they have a lot of weird customs around procreative sex and child-rearing.
