You might..

  • Have a deep understanding of entomology and insectoid creatures.
  • Feel connected to The Egg like a person would be to their mother.
  • Not understand humanoid creatures limitations and uniformity.

Others probably..

  • Assume you are a unique species, rather than the same species as your insectoid kin.
  • Make assumptions about your diet, and often try to feed you strange things.
  • Find your specialized body a strange thing, often being bothered by asymmetry

Physical descriptor

Surki vary in physical form greatly due to their specialized genetics. The Egg while most see it as a moon, is actually one great creature, filled with its own offspring and modified young that protect it and maintain a complicated ecosystem of magic consuming insectoids inside of their mother. This has lead to a specific breed of insectoid, the surki, who are vaguely humanoid in form, and capable of learning common speech. These creatures often act as shepherds for the other insects, and ambassadors for foreign relations that The Egg wishes to have. All insectoids can hear and understand The Egg But only surki have been able to discuss and explain the will of their mother to foreign species.

Society

Surki work closely with dark elven kind. The dark elves were the original protectors of The Egg and are what the surki's are based upon. While the Insectoid forms of the surki look nothing like elves, they are culturally similar, and designed to be long lived like the elves. The Egg had interacted with the dark elves psychically through dreams, learning things about them and the way their brains worked, this allowed them to modify some of their offspring into sentient beings capable of communication and rational thought. These children revere the dark elves like ancestors to themselves, and the dark elves have found staunch allies in the Surki who work with them to procure sources of magical energy to feed The Egg.
