Ailuro

Masked Bear Folk

Black and white fur stands out amongst the crowd, highlighting the jovial way these people talk with their hands. While their cousins elsewhere are often elusive and prefer solitary living, these people thrive in society, living in large cities or amongst mixed groups of people. Whether large or small, the people of this race stand in stark contrast to their cousins, their black and white fur marking them as different, but of a shared heritage that piques the interest of those around them.
The Ailuro are the most outgoing of the Ursakin, choosing bustling lives in cities and urban areas over the separation that the Vertebrae and Nether practice. Whether resembling Mystic Bears or Raccoons, these people thrive with attention, often seeking out professions that put them in the spotlight or allow them to live a life of lazy luxury. You may find these people in pairs or in groups, defining found families wherever they may go.

Social Structure

The Ailuro are the most social of the Ursakin, making their homes amongst others as much as possible. They prefer the bustle and livelihood of cities and urban areas where they can make livings and connections with different people. Using their stature and differences to aid them in these endeavors is common.
More often than not, these people live among other races than with people of their own kind. While one may see the Vertebrae and Nether living together, the Ailuro prefer to strike their own path and live with those of different backgrounds. In many ways, these people are cultural connoisseurs, learning about anything and everything they can get their paws on.
