Gourami

“Wanna see me extract the meat off this corpse? Wanna see me do it again?"

INFO

A carassius breeder on the southern coastal, cavernous promontories of tourist zones, providing a remote and private location away from the public eyes despite its heavy-traffic location.

Gourami has been in the business of aquatic breeding for centuries now, a veteran in the field than their other colleagues, but takes pride in their work like it's a form of science. The flowing waters and encircling tunnels are of importance for Carassius hatchings, which breeders like Gourami separate into selective pools and grow them until maturity. Promising adults secrete solvents, which they sell for nutrients in most comestibles. On rare instances, vendors may acquire specific oils in the solvents for their potential fragrances.

Gourami's uniform prevents them from the solvent vortexes that Carassius may gesture, which is how they handle them whist in the coastal caves of their habitat. It’s also good as protection from the sun — having evolved relative to their descendants millennium ago, they seek more moisture due to their lack of shell underneath their veil - another part of their uniform. Their life, beyond their vocation, is uninteresting and by-routine - to disrupt their lifestyle without potential and satisfactory results leads to any business or personal relationship with them as relative to enemies of society... Something that Gourami has a reputation of handling.

MISC

• On rare cases, you may be able to see their lower visage through the coverings, but that is all that remains of their humanoid features.
• Very persuasive in bartering, whether from their job as a breeder or for personal interests. If bartering is out of the question, then they have other means of obtaining the higher, financial ground.
• A jokester, but the kind where no one gets the joke or can’t tell if it’s a joke. Gourami actually dislikes this about themselves.
• Friends with Teuthida, and exes a competitive rival of Mouflon.
