MADAKTARI
“Here we remember the actions of those who defied atrocity, and those who mistook neutrality for virtue. The former merely lost a homeworld, while the latter disgraced an entire species.”

The Madaktari at the time of MIDNIGHT ARRIVING are primarily descendants of revolutionaries and partisans. Playing as any kind of 'remnant' of the Ascendancy is strictly disallowed outside of explicit player approval by staff on the forum's moderation board.
A modern Daktari is often associated with solitary teachers, explorers, and particularly ruthless measures against The Adversary's parasites. Typically, the Madaktari embed themselves within in-need communities within the Emergency Coalition, or more isolated societies. Their family units are irregular, as the majority of births from this species are the result of artificial gestation. Due to this quirk, it is common for a Daktari to have a greater affinity for the cultures they were raised in rather than species familiarity.
What is common to Madaktari, however, is the expectation of willpower. A Daktari will not only be given cultural names for contributing to the public good through science, but also through the breaking of authoritarian cycles. Contemporary Daktari teachers will often train their young, Daktari or not, to employ critical thinking and active resistance against inequitable rule. Violence and harm are not shunned in these cases, and may even be seen as moral imperatives.
Reference Data
Madaktari are bipedal humanoid sentient beings. They are most recognized for their thickly tentacled 'hair' and segmented facial structure made of mandibles. Typically, they possess six glowing eyes that seem to lack pupils. It is common for a Daktari to have artificially induced coloration on their skin or tentacles, though they naturally can be of virtually any color.
Naming
When raised in Madaktari fashion, an individual is typically given an initial name. Additional names are given socially, as the individual performs anti-authoritarian deeds of worth, or service to the public good (e.g. physically assaulting dictators, using one's platform to disavow rogue political actors, developing a vaccine, etc).
While Madaktari names in-character are based on their own vocalizations, out-of-character they are based on African languages such as Swahili.
