Also if the [[SRD:Plant_Type | plant]] is aware then it also gains the memories and remembers them. If the [[SRD:Plant_Type | plant]] isn't aware then it just contains the memories.

Na'vi

Summary::A rather tall race, lithe and limber; live in the jungles. They have a special Bond to nature, especially to the animals.

Personality

The Na'vi are natural hunters. Their silence betrays their size as they stalk their prey with a hardened determination. When they finally do catch their prey, they thank the animal and pray for it. They bring their hunt back to the tribe and celebrate a successful hunt. They celebrate by singing tribal songs that glorify their legends, gods, and their thanksgiving. The Na'vi have a great love and respect for animals and Nature, to the point where they'd kill anyone for trying to cut down a tree nearby. Most of the time they'll ask you why you invaded their territory before shooting you down with a bow and arrow.

Physical Description

They are humanoid in appearance and are 9 to 12 feet tall, having pairs of eyes, ears, arms, and legs like humans, as well as a nose, a mouth, and expressions recognizable to humans. The Na'vi differ from humans in having blue striped skin, pointed and mobile ears, large eyes, catlike noses and teeth, tails, and four fingers. While taller than humans, they have narrower proportions in body frame. The Na'vi also have a distinctive tendril feature protruding from the back of their heads, surrounded by hair (resembling a long braid), feeding directly into the brain. This organ, known as a queue, allows them to connect with the biology around them, transferring electrochemical signals such as thoughts and memories to the trees, plants, and other creatures.

Relations

They are what many cityfolk consider savage, flea-bitten blue monkeys. Tribes in the jungle consider them to be efficient and effective hunters. They are often hostile to any who would harm Nature. As such they do not get along well with other races; unless the other race has proven themselves in some way to gain the Na'vi's respect.

Alignment

Often Neutral due to their strong Bond with nature and their natural will to protect it.

Lands

Often, but not always, they make make their homes in the jungles. They don't actually build a house or hut they often turn a tree into their home sleeping on a branch or something.

Language

The Na'vi can speak common with a some-what thick accent. They also speak the Language of the wild; Sylvan. The Language they speak most often though is their own; Na'vi.

Names

The Na'vi are given names at birth and may earn a second name, often describing their talent, after passing their birthright. Males: Tsu'Tey, Eytucan, Eyktan, Akwey, etc. Female: Neytiri, Mo'at, etc.
