Do they have a canon race or ethnicity ? (Also, I am OBSESSED with your story, I need it injected in my veins 😘)

🥹🥹🥹🫶 I’m really happy that you’re enjoying it!

I do ask that you keep in mind everything is fantasy and a lot of the world building and lore is just from my imagination.

Lumi’s race is aslan (lion), which is a subspecies of ikati (feline), which is a type of beastkin.

Beastkin in the story are a lot more in touch with their animal instincts and are even able to communicate with their animal counterparts in various ways.

Khimi is mostly human, but it is revealed that his mother is half minos (bovine), which is a type of beastkin. Because of this, Khimi is 1/4th minos, so he has some bullish traits, but not many physical ones…maybe except for his fat cock and breeder balls. 😂😂

As far as ethnicity goes, Khimi was raised in Sidi which is based loosely on the architecture of Istanbul with minor influences from the surrounding Anatolia and some from Greece (mainly in color palette.) Khimi’s appearance is based on a specific region of Persia.

Lumi’s appearance is a bit more tan than he is often portrayed. In the book, you may see where he is described as being tan or golden skinned. Though his tribe is nomadic, he is sometimes referred to as “Lumi of Dolmas.” Dolmas is based loosely on Sumerian and Babylonian cultures with a mix of Mesoamerican and South American cultures too.

There are some influences of Egyptian culture in terms of design in certain regions, but architecturally, the Desert Cities lean much heavier on Persian styles.

But I try my best to be creative with making the story, the Faith, the characters, clothing, and smaller details that readers can enjoy.

Thank you so much! 🫶💕
