Draft: Yumanos

About

Yumanos are humanoid species with no sexual dimorphism. They are hermaphrodite. Usually one is a giver (penum) and another is an accepter (vaginum). They have several gifts. Some can fly, some can swim and breathe underwater, some are on earth and run fast, some can dig deeply, some are climber and jumper.

Based on the place of their habitat there are several kinds of Yumanos. Earthlings live on earth. Skylings live on solid clouds called solls and sky. Sealings live on seas and oceans. 

Yumanos are ovovivipar mammal. So, they form eggs inside of their womb (ovo). And the eggs will break away right before they give birth. They nurse their babies with milk. Because of their ovovivipar nature, they can have up to 12 children at a time.

Yumanos can be more masculine or feminine inside and outside depends on their activity, hormones secretion, and their psychological condition. In short, they are flexible in a way. But, they usually be more on one spectrum at a time.

Origin

Yumanos are made by God in the garden of Paradisus where there is a pond or small lake of life. God created Raphael first and then Abednego from the flowers of Paradisus. But the Devil in the form of Condor tell them to drink the water of the pond and lie to God. And because they choose to follow their ego and Devil, God has to let them go to repent all their life. But God promises to bless them with many descendants and good life as long as they remember Him.

Religion

Yumanos have religion and faith called Pistis. It is about personal connection with and rememberance about God. Seven times a day prayers and personal purification are the central rites of Pistis.

They have the priestly order to serve the laity. And saints to guide and inform people. Some people that have the gift of prophecy are called Prophets. And there are false prophets too.

Witchcraft is prohibited but might be practiced by some people to harm others. While priest usuallly do purification both to prevent and cleanse any dark or negative influence.

Giving your tithes to the needy is obligated for the ones who can afford it. And if you do not follow this, you can be excommunicated as loving your fellow Yumanos is an important part of you faith.

Those who are of the same faith usually have the same kingdom or community. But those who have a different faith will have a different one. Unless, you are a sojourner.

The worship building is called Tera. The whole congregation is called Ecclesia. The mystical body of the believers is called Great Eccleasia. While the local body of believers under a bishop is called Small Ecclesia.

Dancing and singing are parts of the worship. Giving praise to God and having gratitude on all occasions are integral to the faith. Musics are not allowed for worship aside for big drums (doogs) and gongs to mark some parts of the dance.

Monasticism are encouraged especially for widows, widowers, and old people. Some youth can also become monastics. Celibate monastics do not have any spouses. While semi-monastics (sems) can have spouse. They usually live in a monastery complex governed by an Abbot. He might be helped by headers. The ones who just stay for a time either just once or more than once are called novitiate. While monastics and sems must stay.

Governing

The small community has Elder to govern them. The Elder is helped by aiders that help him on several things.

The bigger community usually is a kingdom. Governed by a king. The king has dukes to help him. And under the king, there might be Priors to govern smaller areas.
