Yuuta

The Yuuta are a striking race of large, powerful humans whose appearance and bearing set them apart from all others. Their smooth black-and-white skin, massive builds, and broad heads—seemingly set directly upon their shoulders without a visible neck—make them unmistakable even from great distances. Despite their imposing stature and natural strength, the Yuuta are a peaceful people, living in close-knit beachside tribes that thrive in harmony with the rhythm of the sea. Their primary means of communication is through soft hums and melodic trills that fluctuate in pitch and tone, often escaping the range of ordinary human hearing. To outsiders, this has given rise to myths that the Yuuta converse through telepathy, when in truth their language is simply sung at frequencies that most cannot perceive.

These unique vocal abilities have made the Yuuta exceptional singers across many tongues, their deep, resonant voices capable of both soothing and commanding awe. Though they make their homes on land, their history and survival are deeply tied to the ocean. Generations of hunting aquatic prey have granted them remarkable agility in water—their movements fluid and instinctive, their breath long and steady. Whether gliding through the waves in pursuit of fish or standing proudly upon the shore, the Yuuta embody the balance between power and peace. To see them at dusk, humming to the tide as their songs echo faintly across the surf, is to glimpse a people perfectly attuned to both the sea’s strength and its serenity.
