Iktotchi are a reclusive and solemn species known for their unique precognitive sensitivity. Originating from Iktotch, a storm-ravaged moon orbiting Iktotchon, they evolved amidst constant danger and fierce winds, fostering a culture built on mental discipline and foresight. Their natural talent for limited precognition β manifesting in dreams, instincts, or emotional flashes β drives them to a life of preparation and contemplation. While often seen as intense or brooding by outsiders, Iktotchi carry the heavy responsibility of seeing the strands of potential futures and work tirelessly to ensure their actions do not trigger catastrophic ripples. Their society prizes patience, meditative training, and controlled emotional expression. Whether scholars, warriors, or mystics, Iktotchi approach every decision with care and philosophical weight.
