Yamagira

Name:  Yamagira 
Notes:  Similar to the Ookami, the Yamagira are another naturally evolved human-like species that has canine-like traits.  Of unique difference, the ears of a Yamagira are located where a human's ears would be instead of atop the head like an Ookami, though are just as expressive of a Yamagira's emotional state, though some have learned to control their ears through shear force of will.  A Yamagira's tail is also quite expressive and, like the ears, can be used as an indicator of an individual's emotional state....though some Yamagira have learned, also like their ears, how to use their will power to force control over their tails to prevent showing their emotions so publically, which is useful in situations where an obvious emotional response could be used against them such as negotiations.
A hardy people, the Yamagira are not unfamiliar with technology, but they prefer the value of hardwork with their own hands over 'cheating' by using technology.  Luckily, they were under the patronage of the Ookami, so avoided being absorbed by the old Holy Terran Empire like other species that didn't use advanced technology in their daily lives.
Even with their traditions of using their own hands to do work instead of technology, there are those who have gone off to more technological lives elsewhere in the Zodiac Empire.  There are also those who, usually to be with those they are close to, move to more technological areas, and, as such, walk a middle line between the traditionalists and the 'modernists' of the species.  As even the modernists respect the traditions of the past, even with their higher utilization of technologies, they have never seen themselves as the superior branch, so there is no rift between either group of Yamagira and they get along just fine when interacting with each other.
