Raakuo are green humanoids with antennae. They are tall and muscular with exposed muscles on their legs and biceps, they have bones but most of their body is flexile. They have Five fingers and five toes, they have long pointed ears like an elf. Divided into multiple subclans that specialize in different things.

History

The Raakuo are believed to hail from a plane with green skies and green water, with tall trees and monstrous sea life. They do not require food to survive and survive mostly on water. They are a spiritual race with many ties to nature, and the concept of peace. They farm beatiful plants and their many green plains and plateus are considered beautiful to them, where others would simply see a wasteland. Many years ago a great drought caused a rift between their people and scattered them to the far planes. Their unique biology and magic made them suitable to colonise many planes, and as such they are in many different locales throughout the realms. They terraform areas where they live making it a small pocket of their home plane. They were believed to hail from the hells, but escaped through their desire for a peaceful existence, but this has never been confirmed.

Society

Raakuo typically live in small villages with an elder for each village and a grand elder for the plane they live in. The Raakuo are divided into subraces based on their inborn talents. The warrior tribe are physically strong and are talented at martial arts, the Dragon clan are magically talented, and the Demon Clan are exiles and outcasts or physical mutants with a thirst for destruction. Most Raakuo are peaceful but not harmless and many of them are more durable than the average humanoid. Raakuo who are outside the norm in terms of a peaceful nature, are usually exiled, and many have been sent to remote places in order to avoid confrontation with a destruction loving demon.
