## Rage Raptor Overview

The Second Strain of the Raptor Gene otherwise known as the Rage Raptor is a hyperaggressive strain that prioritizes combat, bloodshed and

Their mate seeking habits are pretty simple if they find a woman/man/whatever they like they challenge them to a duel with both sides able to do whatever they want with the other if they win the winner (should they claim their prize) is trusted with the care and the love they share with them and are promised that they should never lay a blade upon them without their utmost consent.

It is still not known how the prototype of strain Two came to be but when he was released it was rumored he set upon Russia an event known as "The 20 days of Agony" where he buried his claws into the Russian people in a mass genocide, how they stopped him... well I should not say the government stopped him but a young woman as beautiful as a Rose, they say the beast took interest and Eye'd her for a few days until he was met with "Well are you just going to watch me or are we going to get to know one another?~" Of course they did and they got together. Soon after they became a couple and of course sired offspring after gazing upon what the beauty of life was, he swore off violence without reason and preached this to his descendants who follow his words to the letter.

## Offspring and Shrines

The Egg of a Rage Raptor is a red speckled egg with a rough outer shell not unlike sandpaper, they often take great effort to crack open, taking repeated blows to the outside just to slightly fracture. Of course like all eggs they are sent to a shrine to be looked over by a guardian. The problem is that these shrines are almost always next to a dangerous location like a Reject hive or a beast den of some sort. causing the Guardian in charge to always be away defending the eggs in a dance of blood and felling of beasts. This is not just for a laugh though as the eggs seemingly listen to all of these sounds and sensations that are happening just outside those stone doors. they are born wishing to experience these sensations for themselves and the embryo's inside begin to thrash around swinging around to cause damage to wherever a hittable thing is, this causes the egg to slowly crack and release the newly formed child which would then be scooped up by a caretaker cleaned up and sent to the parents of the offspring

The process takes the span of up to twelve weeks, though the guardians never seem to rest nor eat to the point that some people say that the Guardians of the Rage Raptors may not even be human nor raptor but spirits of old Raptor mothers that have lost their offspring to beasts that cheated the confines of death to cause destroy those who would dare attempt to kill another child, and though this has never been confirmed the guardians fight tirelessly with most carrying serrated blades designed to cause intense pain and bleeding in order for it to reach past the doors and into the antechamber of the offspring. Most guardians wear Blood covered red robes with their original color long ago, various headdresses with a mask made from bone of a fallen beasts with a veil to shadow there mouths, and a draping Poncho adored with bones some still fresh from the corpse. One should note there almost odd behavior when talking to one, they will often be staring off into the distance most likely at the den of beasts and they will talk in an almost monotone yet mysterious voice almost as if in a trance.
