Rahk'ka : Overview

The Rahk’ka are a race of feline predators, apt on their feet and quick to react. Their fur comes in a great many colors, and their builds differ. They can be strong, and relatively broad (Mountain Rahk’ka), or they can be lithe and quick (Savanna Rahk’ka). They sport tails and fur, but walk like humans. They are strange indeed, but make no mistake; crossing a Rahk’ka is a cross you’ll regret.

Personality

As with most creatures, a Rahk’ka’s view of the world can be very different from someone else’s, but there is an even greater split thanks to a multitude of factors. First off, there are 2 main subspecies of Rahk’ka; those of the mountain, and those of the savanna. This already sets a divide based on climate and build, but there is more. There are also 3 tribes of Rahk’ka (one mountain, two savanna). These historically have had very different opinions, and separates views further. These circumstances allow any Rahk’ka to be wildly different from the next, so there really is no umbrella statement here.

Physical Traits & Other Abilities

Though the Slizzarí have excellent hearing, no one can match that of a Rahk’ka. Their ears allow them to hear most noises, with the best of them being able to hear the softest of footsteps. However, this advanced hearing does nothing unless you can react upon it. Thankfully, this is a Rahk’ka’s specialty. The savanna variety are as lithe and agile as the Slizzarí, with the added component of speed. The mountaineers are fast as well, though not nearly as dexterous. All Rahk’ka sport retractable claws as well, allowing them to defend themselves quite effectively. They are never caught off guard.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

They can see better than humans, but worse than Slizzarí. Their jump and hearing is unparalleled, and they can use any type of magic, favoring their mother-magic, alchemy.

Civilization and Culture

Major Organizations

The Rahk'ka live in tribes, and the only hand they have in decision making is through choosing their tribe's leader.

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals

The Rahk'ka are known for wearing rings; whether via piercings or on their hands/paws, they are adorned with them. However, they are a little more than flashy bling. They signify milestones and achievements a Rahk'ka has gained, with the most important (turning 16, getting married, etc.) going through piercings in their ears, to less important events going on their hands.
