| Although a culture driven and consumed by war for the entirety of its remembered history, Cradians seem to have a deep predisposition towards artistic creativity. Even a barracks of active soldiers would be filled with individuals painting and writing poetry during their scant free hours. Cradians view their artwork as deeply personal, something rarely shared with others and interred with the creator on their death – although Tulaki priests hope to see Cradian artists tread the path of [[immortal spirits#Neboro the Charred]], and eventually allow others to celebrate their creations. Nearly all Cradians have a deep respect for art and how it influences an individual’s journey through life. | Although a culture driven and consumed by war for the entirety of its remembered history, Cradians seem to have a deep predisposition towards artistic creativity.

| + | This artistic aspect of Cradian life has its roots in their physiology and neurology. Cradians have a finely developed aesthetic sense and a slightly above-baseline colour perception. They have a natural tendency towards introspection, a fiercely emotional focus and a poorly understood feedback loop in their neural patterning. Combined with their cultural inclination towards the creative arts as a means of self-expression and analysis, these physiological features grant Cradians a profound appreciation of art. They have the ability to self-analyse their responses to aesthetic stimuli, and can use their memories to recall profound emotional experiences. This powerfully emotive recall allows Cradians to summon stirring emotions in times of need, to act as a bulwark against external influences, to connect deeply with other individuals, and to promote a sense of awe in those they interact with. | ||

| With fairly unremarkable reptiloid physiology that has strong genetic similarities with Serpentine Tulaki, Cradians are distinguished by their neural makeup as well as their cultural background. Cradian characters have 2 locational hits and a 200 second Death Count. | With fairly unremarkable reptiloid physiology that has strong genetic similarities with Serpentine Tulaki, Cradians are distinguished by their neural makeup as well as their cultural background.

Cradian characters have 2 unique Show-me Lammie abilities that they can use a certain number of times each event, and if they create art between events they can use the act of creation to serve as a reserve of confidence and internal strength each event. | + | Cradian characters have 2 unique Show-me Lammie abilities that they can use a certain number of times each event, representing their aesthetic sense, and if they create art between events they can use the act of creation to serve as a reserve of confidence and internal strength each event. |
