Tokage

The Tokage have a wide reputation of being a resounding neutral party throughout most of the world’s history. While some may say this is a result of their business-only attitude, it cannot be ignored that they are highly durable and often rock-like in appearance. In fact, it is due to their appearance that they are mostly ignored by the Voliere, who often cannot differentiate them from the background. It would be foolish to ignore them however, as they have a tendency to hoard resources, so they create businesses or markets in order to sell their surplus.

A large amount of the world's resources makes its way through the capital of Kirameku. Whether it’s for appraisal or storage, it will probably end up in the hands of a Tokage. Most Tokage societies are plutocracies, making each district in their cities very distinct from one another as they are at the whims of the richest. However at the cores of these cities, there are some similarities.

The Wani are the friendliest of the Tokage -- or it seems that way because of their large, toothy smiles. With a very welcoming disposition, it seems as if they are always inviting you to peek at whatever they are doing or thinking. Getting too close for their comfort may result in a nasty bite though, so some discretion may be necessary. They are also very good swimmers, a trait they share with their Oyogu cousins. The Oyogus are the most well-traveled of the Tokage. They are usually the gears of the marketplace, making sure goods are shipped and received in a timely manner. With softer shells, they tend not to be on the frontlines of any violent situation, but they can get out of one much more quickly. Their Koshin relatives are undeniably the most solid of the Tokage. They enjoy working as guardsmen and laborers, jobs they are naturally suited for. They are capable of holding numerous things inside of their shell, so many view them as valuable companions. This makes them the slowest of the Tokage. This leads to the fastest of the Tokage, the Jinsoku. Despite being closely related to the others, they have similar intelligence levels to that of a horse or a dog. They are commonly sold at marketplaces to be raised from their egg into your means of travel or battle pet. They can be armored and fitted with weapons as well.
