Oh no, they are using Masks, not elaborate facial make-up!
The Ozcuras of the City of the Wicked used such allways when they where in public spaces, taking them off only in their private lives :3
The Ozcuras aren't -as written- the first creations of the demons: first, where monsters and abominations -and low demons, as the Imps and Cascomi, Skavos and such- but these weren't races that breed like people: the Ozcuras where the first breeded people by the demons! :3
Thought, the Ozcuras weren't mass produced: as you once said: "our clonation chambers are here!" said the goblin women, pointing at their wombs!! D:!
Now, The Dumian Empire: Dume was founded as a small city in the 447 a.a.H in Dudland.
However it wouldn't be until the 691, when they became a Republic, that their power began, slowly, to grow: At the 807 began the expansion of Dume in Dudland. After that (cutted and pasted from my timeline)
888 Dume began to build Highways
978 Dume conquest of Hannovian
936 First Blazik War (Dume-Blazakhov)
960 End of the first Blazik War. Dume conquest the islands of Caritz from Blazakhov
981 Attack of the Dume allies in Mannsotoh, beginning of the second Blazik war (Dume-Blazakhov)
988 Conquest of Purpurian by Dume
995 First Uslen-Dume war
1.003 Second Uslen-Dume war
1.006 End of the second Blazik war. Blazakhov lost the colonies in Novahalion
1.036 The Mourlicoun elfs, Centaur and other creatures who live within the borders of Dume are forced to live in internment camps
1.051 Dume conquest north Uslen and organices the Province of Uslen
1.054 War of Uslen, destruction of Titipopolis, conquest of all Uslen by Dume
1.054 Beginning of the Third Blazik war. Blazakhov attack the Dume colonies in Zarhuy. Conquest of Blazakhov and Cargass by Dume
1.127 Rebelions of slaves and subyugates populations against Dume
1.150 Conquest of Enkelt by Dume
1.169 End of the Unlic Period
1.173 Empire of Dume
1.317 maximal expansion of the Dume Empire under Emperor Currano
1.365 Aparition of the Daimons in the Mount Demonach, Destruction of the cities and nations in the island of Satanmet
1.400 The Daimon legions began constant attacks over the Dumian Empire, in what will be a serie of wars
1.412 Extension of the right of citizenship in the Dume Empire to all the inhabitants of every specie. Beginning of decadence of Dume
1.486 Division of the Dume Empire between North and South Empire
1.500 unable to defeat the Dumian Empire from the south, the daimons advance to the north of Aels
1.510 Allies with humans, Kanovs and other species, the Daimons attack the Vakusta Empire
1.512 War of the Four Emperators of Dume
1.514 Christianity, official religion of the Dumian Empire
1.540 Without the Vakkusta Empire as pillow state, the borders of the Northern Dumian Empire are attacked by "barbarians, monsters and demons"
1.560 Blazakhov became independent from Dume Empire, and began to raise again as power
1.651 Battle of the Hannian fields. The Dumian and allies defeat a Daimon invasion.
1.676 Fall of Dume, Capital of the Dumian Empire, under the attack of the Dark Legion
And, as you can see, basically Dume works as Rome: more than it in his own culture -that truly I haven't completely fleshed out- in it's cultural legacy to humanity after it.
As said, I haven't really fleshed out the Dumian, but I think -like many of the early human nations- they still had strong and present the traditions of their past during "Eden" and the first city of humans: And such basically, they where trying to keep this legacy -and the legacy of the western world- This of course would make very different the Dumian themselves. However, while it lasted long, it didn't lasted forever: And the fall of Dume by the demons, ends the Age of Invasions, called as well the age of Apparition of Humanity or early Human Age. :3

Thanks for all the information! Humans anyway, might remember the Dumian Empire as an important period of their existence on Aiers.
So the ozcuras, these ozcuras anyway, started wearing real masks in this later period? That's rather cool, gives them an air of mystery and sophistication that is lacking with the simple, half naked, painted female warriors we typically see.

Yes they do. Not as mighty as the "Holy City of Eden" and the first, forgotten era: but that often was later seen more as myth rather than reality, while Dumian was a reality for them! :3
and yes, these ozcuras began to adopt the Hakes fashion in the City of the Wicked, and later adopted the masks! :3

Depend of the time: In the first times, they remember the history: but later, things began to become more and more confuse, and many times they interpreted that what was in their religions and holy books happened actually in the same world of Aiers. Some places looking alike and having similar names -first of all, thanks to terraformation and done on purpose- helped these ideas.
Centuries later, when they re-discovered the past, there would be some quite large teological disputes with many conscecuences! XD

I really dig the outfit designs! : D adorable faces and their hair is nicely done : 3 are they meant to look a little ragged? The arm wraps and wily hair give that kind of vibe : }

Thanks! The adorable faces are masks thought! XD
They are meant to look a bit ragged, as they are "commoners", common people of the City of the Wicked, where the elves are the upper classes. :3

They look... so different! o_o
How old do Ozcura get, actually?

Shabazik In reply to kanyiko [2012-09-15 20:54:36 +0000 UTC]
Onme? She is around 11 and half, 12 years Old:
In "Human biological years", that mean she should be between 17-19 years old, more or less.
An ozcura become a adolescent at 8 years old, and a adult around 12 years old.
But like their elves ancestors -some in the mix they are!- make they rather than become elders, die from "old age" looking more or less young -between 35/50 years old-
However, there are few general rules for ozcuras, because of their mixed ancestors, and how many ozcuras have even non-ozcuras fathers: for example, an ozcura with orc parents live longer, one with human fathers, even more, and others with elven father, can be even more difficult to determine! XD
I don't think the Half K'nir will be too impressed, thought: K'nir doesn't live too long neither, up to 40, more or less. Being a Half-K'nir he will have a longer life expectancy, but it wouldn't be that strange for him. :3

yay for eternity as decoration!
One of the main reasons why many ozcuras are headhunters! X3

Yeah, i can see why they would, as a sign of inferior status...
albeit in Gaea it is a name more for Changelings, or a group of them...

I don't know what changelings are... Faceless ones is thought only a nickname for the ozcuras of only Zaghäl, thought! :3

(Depending on the world), they are peoples with 'alien' blood - like descendants of unions of humans and the beings called 'doppleganger'... They kinda look like 'Greys' aliens of conspirationism - humanoids with face facial features, pale skin, no facial hairs (I think)... and they have a perhaps shapesdhifting power, allowing them to look like other peoples...
