[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6379201, member: 7635"] RAKASTA Known as "cat folk" by its neighbors, the rakasta are a proud race of feline humanoids. Rakastan culture is unique, somewhat mystical, and concerned primarily with battle and honor. Rakastas are known to be some of the most efficient soldiers and warriors in all of the civilized lands. MAN AND CAT Rakastas stand about 5 ½ feet tall and usually weight about 130 pounds. They look like a furry human with the head of a cat. Its short fur is usually soft and ranges in color from light tan to dark brown. Many rakastas have a darker hue on the ears and muzzle. Some specimens have white highlights and the ears and muzzle instead or even white or dark patches at the extremities (feet, hands, and tail). Older rakastas show whitening around the face and ears. The creatures have cat eyes, with vertical pupils. The irises are usually green, but some are yellow or even blue or hazel; a few rare individuals have two colors, most commonly one blue and one green. Rakastan hands and feet are like those of humans, except for the fur and retractable claws. Rakastas also have non-prehensile four feet long tails, most are covered with short fur. Rakastas are very proud of their tails and spend a great deal of time each day grooming them. HONOR AND VALOR Rakastas are a proud and emotional race. They are renowned for their quickness to anger if they feel that they have been wronged or insulted and for their great tenacity and bravery in battle. They also place a great value in honor and reputation. Rakastas seek to prove their own valor and skill in combat. They are extremely interested in the world at large and this translates into a wanderlust that demands they explore and experience all things for themselves.

Their architecture is elegant and ornate with light buildings, mostly made of wood. Their smiths are famous for the intricate and detailed tools, weapons, and armors they make. They are not miners so they rely heavily on ore trade between themselves and other nations in order to maintain a quality of life they demand. RAKASTA NAMES Rakastas use two names, a personal name and a clan name. Their names often have a lot of hard consonants sounds and flowing vowels. Male Names: Hirameki, Jiro, Kamaggi, Kaminari, Kenju, Myojo, Female Names: Kitahara, Lyn, Tamokka Clan Names: Fuurifesu, Katamura, Katayama, Tomokato RAKASTA TRAITS Due to a mixture of humanoid and feline abilities, Rakastas have the following traits.
