Noctero culture
-The Noctero were once great conquerers, ruthless barberians, and cunning warriors, but something in their history caused them to hang up their spears and become peaceful and non-violent. This, unfortunately, made them easy targets as replacement slaves for the sects of the Magog Cartel that had freed the Mudokons.
-Noctero traditionally paint their eyelids and lips black, to symbolize the shame of their past. Most Nocteros in recent generations, however, have forgotten why they do it and just do it. Some younger Noctero paint their bottom lip red as a way to rebel against the old traditons, which they find to be stupid and unnecessary.
-Being unable to fly makes the Males the best housekeepers and nest-guardsmen. The females do the hunting and gathering.
-Noctero makes mate for life, so choosing a mate is especially delicate. They usually date for up to 4 years, just to make sure that they're right for each other.
-Noctero males usually shave one side of their head while letting the other side grow out, as well as pulling it back (think Dracula). Female "do's" vary from very straight like Actra's, to pulled back, to a variation of the two. In recent years, some females have embraced a split-do like the males.
-The Noctero speak in our English, but write things down in what look Hyroglyphics. Because of this, many Noctero cannot read the strange language that the Industrialists use (our form of writing, with letters), and have to memorize the different shapes of the words.
-Noctero are naturally attracted to dark, moist places, due to the centuries they've spent inside of caves. Sunlight scares them, which is why Actra is so nervous once she is ejected from New Rupturefarms and into the outside world. Some Noctero even prefer to live in the factory than to venture outside!
-The Noctero worship many gods. One of which is the Archivist, a female who's appearance depends on the conditions of her people. If times are good for the Noctero, she's the picture of beauty. But now, when times are grim, she becomes a dark and woeful entity (think Clive Barker's "Tortured Souls" toyline).
Another entity is the Hunter. He is said to be the bringer of a good harvest. Hunter is portrayed as asexual, and has the broad wings distinctive of a female. But he also has the general build of a male, and is referred to as a "he." He was once the overseer of many great battles as well, but since the Noctero became a peaceful race, he didn't see the need for that part of his job.
