Garont

The kor race created by the Ark. Supposedly they were created as the main labor force of the Arialian society.

Appearance and Anatomy

Base: Humanoid

Short and sturdy: Garont stand 115-140cm tall. Their bodies are compact, dense and muscular for their height, adapted for physical work.
Build: They have massive torsos, broad shoulders and strong limbs suited for lifting and carrying weights. Their pinkies are enlarged, almost as the size of their already bigger thumb.
Skin: Their skin is tough and fibrous, often stone- or clay-colored: grey, brown or dark red. It resists cuts and burns.
Head: Their faces are flattened, with strong jaw muscles. Many Garont are bald or have coarse, wiry hair. Their eyes are small and narrow, adapted to bright light and dust.
Endurance: Garont are slow, but tireless. Their hearts and lungs are enlarged relative to their body proportions, allowing them to endure long and steady physical strain.
Lifespan: Garont usually live 60-80 years, in perfect conditions they can live up to 95-100 years. Aging weakens them very little, so most can keep an active life even in old age.

Garont were shaped for sustained labor, and their temperament reflects that purpose.

Dutiful: Garont accept long, repetitive work more easily than most races. They take satisfaction in tasks that keep their household, workshop or community functioning.
Patient: They can maintain the same effort for hours or days, especially when the result is visible and useful.
Practical: Garont prefer simple, reliable solutions. They trust tools, routines and proven methods.
Stubborn: Once they commit to a task, order or belief, they are difficult to divert. This makes them dependable workers and tenacious opponents.
Community-minded: They work best in crews, households, workshops or labor gangs where roles are clear and shared effort is valued.
Wary of abstraction: Garont can struggle with abstract theory. They prefer instruction they can see, touch or test.
