A deep, growling voice emits from the figure: "Rakash I am, the hunter
who is happiest when she is with her pack. We live for the family,
fight for the family, die for the family. No king can break us up, no
god can destroy us. In ones and twos we may sometimes travel, but our
happiness is complete when we are. The other races try to understand
us, but cannot, for in their minds they are examining us in the
singular. We discovered the truth long ago when we learned that we
are strongest when united. Strength have I, and endurance, and speed.
Whether I hunt with steel or with spell, all that matters is that I do
what I do for the pack!"
The Rakash is of moderate height and seems to shift between a humanoid
with a furry coat and a short snout and a Human with deep, soulful
eyes. Both forms gaze at you with a combination of strength and
loyalty, and there is a down-to-earth sensibility about this race
present in only a few of the others. In its half-Human form, a short
tail sweeps down behind the Rakash, stopping just short of the ground
it stands on, and its ears are tall and curved, constantly twitching
at the smallest sounds.
