#okay about the markings. they are a derivate from naruto's whiskers. pure-blooded have bigger and cooler markings

Are the Uzumakis protohumans because they can live for so long? Also I love how you draw the characters smiling!

Aww thank you!! I like to draw them happy!! :D

And yes! the Uzumaki are protohumans as well. 

The Uzumaki are a sub-specie of protohumans native from Uzui. They share Human and Alasthar traits and their average life-span is of three standard centuries.

Due to their long life-span, their birth rate is low by regular human standards. This and the great losses during the Whirpool Wars, decimated the Uzumaki population and in the present the numbers of pure blooded Uzumakis keep decreasing.

Their most distinctive physical traits are their thick fiery red/orange hair (often worn long and loose), their facial markings, fangs and horns.

Uzumakis share ancestry with the Yu, who also wear body marks derived from their interaction with residual ancient energies. 

Another shared trait with the Yu is the worship of deities. The Uzumaki revere the Demonic Spirits, a group of incorporeal creatures that represent the energy of the universe. Each family has a Spirit Patron to which they pray for advice and favors.

The Uzumaki “welcoming rite” is performed during the first years of life and consists in imbuing the child with the “energy of the Demonic Spirits” while invoking the family Patron. During the rite the child will manifest their unique Demonic Markings and be welcomed to the clan as a rightful Uzumaki.

Unlike the Yu, whose markings resemble tattoos, the Demonic Markings are more similar to scars.

Mixed offsprings may present Uzumaki traits such as the hair color, fangs and manifest markings. However, it’s very rare for them to grow horns, and their life-span will be shorter than their Uzumaki parent yet longer than the human standard.
