## History:

The exact origin of the Jakura is unknown, but it is believed that their start came around the time of the ancient echidnas. Surprisingly however there exist little records of conflict between the Jakura and the echidna clans. At most there was tales of echinda warriors wandering off or getting loss only to never be heard from again.

It wasn't until the Medieval and Renaissance ages of Mobius that the Jakura were documented. Weary travelers, outcasts, explorers, vagabonds, and even entire companies of soldiers would often go missing and were reported to be attacked by the Jakura. When investigation teams were dispatched they wouldn't even find the bodies or the personal items of the victims at the scene. Eventually however the Jakura became bold and arrogant even more as they began to raid villages, towns, and even kingdoms. Often they would be prepared for warfare and their foes would be taken off guard enough to amount a decent defense.

## Appearances:

Jukura appear as tall and slender cervidae that would otherwise be soft and pleasing to look at, if the Jukura weren't so horrible twisted. Their fur color can vary as it can be violet, green, pale blue,brown, or grey. It is known that Jukura allow their to be shown in flamboyant and decorative ways that even can be used for intimidation through being sharpened or ordained.

* **All is fair in warfare:** Another frightening aspect of the Jukura is their complete willingness to use any available form of technology, magic, or device against their enemies.

Raids are carried out among warring factions and other races, even among neighboring or rival Jakura clans often. These swift and sporadic attacks often are seen as a means of one promoting themselves by slaying an opponent and reaping the spoils so that the entire civilization may inadvertently prosper.
