Urmull (Borderlands Fan Clan)
Due to the colder temperature of the planet they migrated from, the Urmull are a nocturnal people. Their large pupils are highly sensitive to light, so they are usually seen with a protective mask when outside during the day. Their skin is also a shade of blue, a trait gained from the planet of Xylourgos.
They live within underground cave systems that are guarded by designated females. These protectors are the sturdiest of the group, and are usually seen wielding larger weapons.
The Queen, titled "Hjarta" Is the largest member, sporting a mane of thick hair. She is highly respected and protected by her clan. She is usually the largest member of the clan, and is the strongest daughter of the previous Hjarta. Her mohawk runs down along her entire spine, and is well groomed in order to show status. Hair may be decorated with colors and/or jewelry.
The "weaker" daughters may leave the clan and start their own haram, building a clan of their own. This is rare, as most daughters prefer to stay within the safety of their birth clan.
Most Urmull are female, though a male may be recruited if new children are needed. The queen and her daughters are the only ones permitted to mate with said males. If a male is born, it will either be killed and eaten by the Hjarta or her daughters. Inbreeding is avoided in any way possible.
These men are chosen with physical capabilities in mind, brains are less important to them, though it is preferred over stupidity. The Urmull want their children to grow up strong enough to survive and expand the clan.
Smaller than the First-Bloods, and therefore feared them. However, once the final First-Blood grew too old to fight, the Urmull became more hostile. Their "natural predators" are all out of commission, allowing them to take control.
Pretty advanced tech wise, having made an agreement with Maliwan. (Perhaps even, the Hjarta and a Maliwan CEO are in some kind of relationship) The current Hjarta has cybernetic parts that make her stronger
Can speak fluent English, though they do have their own language used to communicate amongst their own clan. This language is a mixture of Icelandic-like words and animal noises.
Maliwan provides armor and weapons to the Urmull, and in return, the Urmull are loyal to only Maliwan. Atlas forces on Pandora are attacked, and all spoils of war are reused to strengthen their own armory.
First-Bloods (Borderlands Fan Clan)
Descendants of the first peoples on Pandora, decades before Dahl put prisoners on the planet. They are survivors, and will protect themselves and their family with everything they have.
They are evolved to survive Pandora's harsh environments, built with tough skin and muscular bodies. Males and females have very little differences besides genetalia and small breasts found on females. There is no sense of a "weaker" or "stronger" sex, both are held with the same level of respect. Genders are also the least of their concerns, same as sexuality. Be strong, and you will be accepted.
In their minds, the stronger a person is, the more appeal or respect they gain. Those who are deemed 'weak' or 'unfit' were cast out and left to die. This worked great for the clans survival, but it also meant that infighting was common. In order to gain a role higher than your own, you must best the current member in hand to hand combat. This is done away from the camp so that the blood does not attract animals that may harm any children.
The First-Bloods are a highly family oriented clan, holding parents and children above themselves. New parents will have the first choice of meats, so that they are strong enough to protect the young.
Every piece of a kill is either used for tools, clothing, or food. Nothing would be left behind of the carcass once this clan has found it. Even bones were eaten, while hides and skulls were used for armor.
The alphas of the clan are the strongest of the group, and are rarely related to the clan leaders before them. A fighting ring is set up if someone wants to challenge the alpha, and the fight is a territory wide event. The First-Bloods love to watch huge and bloody events.
Very primal/animalistic behaviors, but are extremely cultured. Their traditions of feasts and naming conventions have stuck around for generations.
They hold a huge feast whenever a member of their clan is killed during a territorial dispute, consuming the body of the deceased alongside any favored foods. The blood left over is then smeared onto the hands of next of kin, and handprints are made on the mouth of their cave.
First-Bloods name their children after any skills that are shown during development. (For example, One-shot was named after her ability to shoot down prey with one arrow. Her aim was unmatched.) Before this special name is given, a unique whistle is used to call each child.
Upon the success of a child's first hunt, the clan will undergo a week long celebration. The first thing that will be done is the burning, in which the child will have half of their torso burnt by an incendiary weapon. This is a final test of strength, and will allow other First-Bloods to recognize their clan mates from far away.
More to come, these are just some basic ideas

The OG world I'm thinking of rn is only on Bedrock currently

OKAY
Java AND Bedrock worlds are now up. Bedrocks is 100% preferred as I also have a texture pack and addons for that world. So if you can, play on our bedrock world. But if not, there is a Java one.
Anyone can join in on either. Add imtherealcorby on discord and I'll give you an invite to our discord server
