Pulsekaw

==Overview==
The Pulsekaw are perhaps the most significant and powerful race to ever touch Realty. After appearing in the plane in the middle of the Emrite Era, these canid people quickly established themselves with their mastery of Pulse manipulation, heightened cunning, fluency in odd languages, and sheer willpower. They are the people who waged a war with the Emrites which lasted nearly 1600 years, eventually toppling them as Superiors of the plane. The resulting Pulsekaw Era is considered the most dominant of all the major eras, with a consistent upward trajectory of both power and influence, before ending suddenly with The Soaring of Akkaz.
While the Pulsekaw had established cities and outposts all over Soly, they were the most concentrated on the eastern mainland, within the Gryusch Wilds, The Dourland, and Numbiie.
==Description==
The Pulsekaw are bipedal, anthropomorphic canine-like creatures, covered in colored fur from head to toe. Each one has angled ears atop the head, a tail of various lengths and densities, and an elongated muzzle filled with sharp teeth. A Pulsekaw is quite keen to keep their claws sharpened at all times, considering it something of a shame to one's appearance to have dulled claws. Generally they will have a lighter shade of fur on their upper-chest and muzzle area, though this could extend down to the stomach or even to the thighs, depending on the individual.
Not the most physically imposing race, a typical adult Pulsekaw usually only stands at an average height of 5'7". This includes males and females, as there isn't much difference between the two physically. The expected lifespan of a normal Pulsekaw is about 500 years, assuming good health and properly maintaining secrecy of their name. The Pulsekaw are typically scantily-dressed, as to show off their fur color with no interference. Another reason for this is because their personalities are so guarded and secretive that they cope by being extra unguarded and free with their bodies, though this is likely a subconscious effort. Generally, they are rather lithe and spindly of build, and don't focus much on their physicality beyond what is required.
The color of a Pulsekaw's fur is significant, as it displays the priority one places upon their entire worldview, as well as ranks them within the many hierarchies of Pulsekaw society. This would come to be known as their "Coat". From least to most common of the coats:
* Faded Blue - This is the color of a Lowborn Pulsekaw. While the most common single color, making up 40% of all Pulsekaw, there was no such known case of a highborn Pulsekaw with dark blue fur. All highborn varied in fur color unlike the lowborn, who shared this lowly, dreary coat.
* Orange - Commonly referred to as "Futuresights", this group was the backbone of Pulsekaw society. Their thoughts, feelings, and concerns often dwelled in the future, remaining vigilant against negative potentials. These made up approximately 35% of Pulsekaw society.
* Brown/Grey - These Kaw varied in hue moreso than any other group, and thus did their personalities. Often referred to as "Pastsights", this group of Pulsekaw would be keepers of the ancient's cultures and ways, often a bit shamanistic in nature. As one might expect, their priorities dwelled within the past. This group made up approximately 20% of Pulsekaw society.
* Blue - A Pulsekaw born with light blue or cyan fur was considered special and quite favored by the Soaring Pulsekaw Taylu. This color was mostly written as "Nowsights" or "Presentsights" depending on the area. These were generally the ruling class, or outlaws, those who divulged in simple pleasures in life, as their thoughts dwelled in the present without concerns for the past or future. This group was rather rare, making up only 4% of the Pulsekaw Population.
*Red - A red Pulsekaw was an utter rarity, making up 0.99% of the total Pulsekaw population. These Pulsekaw had no common trait beyond their fur color, though they did usually seem to fall into one of the three different sights independently, based on their subjective nature and the environment around them.
*White/Corrupted - At a staggeringly low 0.01% of the population, seeing a white-furred or corrupted Pulsekaw would likely only happen once or twice in a lifetime. These Pulsekaw were usually somewhat deformed and odd to look at, the majority of them clearly mentally disturbed. They were generally sequestered in deep underground dungeons. The Pilfering Depths have been known to occasionally take an otherwise normal Pulsekaw and turn them into one of these.

==Notes==
* The Pulsekaw is a unique race in that Highborn Pulsekaw are born at much higher rates than the Lowborn, making them the only known race where that occurs naturally.
