Vaanti

The Vaanti are the native inhabitants of the Caribbean island of La Huerta, living at Elyys’tel and two other villagers. They are a unique people and possibly a completely new species, as they do not possess "normal" traits and characteristics of human beings. The most obvious difference is the Vaanti's blue or green skin, matching hair, and enhanced strength and speed. They are often seen wearing animal masks, a tradition passed down to them from their earliest ancestors.

The Vaanti maintain their own language, beliefs, judicial system, and hierarchy, and are led by a monarch who takes on the title of Elyyshar of the Vaanti. Until she sacrificed herself to defeat the sea monster Cetus, the Elyyshar was Ximaedra. Following her death, her son Varyyn became the Elyyshar, which he remains as today.

The Vaanti's arch-enemy is Everett Rourke, who built a luxury resort on the island and has been conducting numerous illegal experiments. Rourke and his minions refer to the Vaanti as "Hostiles" due to their interactions with him, while Your Character's group briefly referred to them as "Watchers" due to the Vaanti's talent at watching them silently from the rainforest.

Trivia

 * The Vaanti bear a clear physical resemblance to the Na'vi from the 2009 hit film Avatar; this is referenced briefly by Your Character's group and most clearly seen with Varyyn's skin tone and hairstyle. Culturally however, they are not all that similar and overall behave more like stereotypical elves from the high fantasy genre.
