Physiology[]
The Nu mou have canine features, bearing elongated faces and tails. Their ears, long and thick with a hole near the end, are often decorated with various earrings. The Nu mou's average height, ranging between 130–150 cm, coupled with their bent posture, makes them come across as small.
Nu mou’s original lifespan was more than three times that of humans prior ot the exposure to the Combine Nanites. Their physical appearance remains mostly the same throughout their life, and even young nu mou have a generally aged look. Their hair is white, although the fur on their tail is often sandy in color. Skin shades vary between individuals, although they are often pale or dull.
Society and Culture[]
The Nu mou are a people of legends and tradition, passing down many tales, their most well known being the legend of the Espers. A reserved race, they generally live quiet lives. Most are found on the sacred Mt Bur-Omisace where, as part of the Kiltia sect, they take care of pilgrims and those wounded by war.
Due to their dog-like traits, they cannot resist aiding those who give them commands. Nu mou have a code of honor that dictates the payment must precisely fit the service; be it an item or task, they ask and give for no more or less than what is requested. To the Nu mou who turned their back on their people's way of life live in a cave called Father Collard's Chambers and are called the lawless ones. They refuse to work, instead spending their time being nuisances, such as by robbing other Nu mou.
Due to being ill-fitted for physical battle, they are proficient in magick. They have a highly developed intelligence, allowing them to excel in this field much more than the other races which also served greater use for the Commonwealth for their intellect. In addition to their magickal abilities, they can also call on the abilities of monsters to help.
