Ovistrians

Basic information and anatomy
The Ovistrians or ovisi for short, are a race of sheep-like humanoids that typically live in mountain, or rocky areas. Ovistrians are often reffered to as a decendant of the ainin, adapting to have more of sheep like aspects of the race. The ovisi's wool are typically white in colour with a 30% chance for an ovisi to obtain black wool upon birth. The ovisi on average will live around 100 to 120 years and in some cases can live up to 143 years of age. The ovisi typically have yellow eyes and in no other cases have been examined to have eyes of differing colours. Female ovisi are the only kind of ovisi that possess horns, with them often being curled around their head, male ovisi do not have any horns present on them execpt for in extremley rare cases. The ovisi will typically be 5'8-6'2 in height. The name Ovistrian is taken from the latin word "Ovis" meaning "Sheep", ovisi also have long ears which allow for greater hearing. An Ovisi horns will often take around 8 years to grow into maturity, and after they reach maturity if they are cut off it will take around 6 years for them to regrow to their former state.

Culture
The culture of the ovisi is typically a peaceful race, many living in rocky areas or mountains, living within small farming communities, using a techinic called "terrace farming" to farm mass amounts of berries and wheat. Ovisi are typically nomadic and pastoral, usually living outside of regular cities but instead living within their own secluded towns in mountains which their fur allows for them to be adapted to. Ovisi that were born male/female that change their gender throughout their lifetime are often accepted, either having their horns cut off or even given replica horns in order to appear more feminine and or masculine depending on what they wish for themselves. Ovisi horns are often treated as a siginfying factor of what gender they belong too, due to both male and female ovisi looking increadibly similiar, although Ovistrians typically do not have many body altering changes between the sexes, resulting in many ovisi not caring about others gender. The ovisi will typically craft their houses in a yurt formation, using materils such as spruce or dark wood as that is typically more common in cold climates, as well as sheering their own wool in order to create the insulation for the yurts.

The ovisi will typically create pastures or farms centered around the farming of berries, and due to their elavation within the mountains they will often carve out parts of the mountain to place the crops on so they may be able to farm it. The ovisi are also known not typically using water in farming due to them living on high up mountains and it being a chore to go back and forth to obtain water for the farms, which is another reason why they typically will make farms centered around the farming of berries.

The ovisi rarley gather together, but during the Ovistrian holiday known as "Yolgnoz" ovisi will usually gather together in a single persons pasture/farm, and will spend around 2 full days on their property helping them cultivate their crops, it is also tradition to help whoever has had the most problems farming their crops at the moment. Yolgnoz happens around once every two full months, and was created so that way the ovisi people could easily help eachother in making and preserving eachothers farms, as well as bringing them all together and making stronger bonds between the race.
