Sort of an update here! As an additional avenue people can take when wanting to add characters into the Jakkya Family or Morbolvine Clan fold, my character Taiga Jakkya has her own small group of poachers that shes bringing back to the main family out of necessity. A little info on the group is below, should it interest anyone to come from this background just PM me or /tell me in game on either Siha Xinkei or Taiga Jakkya for questions or plots.
So if that was a bit jumbled I apologize, what it represents is a chance for you to have a Jakkya from a poacher background that isn't with the Coeurlclaws and to have a prior connection when entering the story. This avenue is also open to those that are not originally Jakkya's due to the male part of the story, so, females that join SHOULD have the Jakkya name but males that join are allowed to not have it so long as they were considered a breeder when they entered the poaching band. Also breeder is a term that the Bloodtusk used themselves it in no way shape or form will carry over to the main Jakkya families views of them nor the Morbolvine unless stated otherwise, so they may have come IN a breeder but it's possible their status would/will change. Just /tell me or PM me to discuss if you want to go that latter route so we can hammer out the details first! Of course all final decisions go to Knight Kat as this is her plot! ^^
Quote:Name: Bloodtusk; Named after the Boars in the South Shroud where they are based.
Notoriety: Not as common a name as the Coeurlclaw or Redbelly but their name is known to most in the South Shroud
Age of Group: Still in flux
Blurb:
Named after the boars they primarily hunt in the South Shroud the Bloodtusk are a group of rough poachers that consist mostly of the Jakkya family. Their group is one that split not once but twice, when the main family broke into two the Bloodtusk went with the side that sided with the Coeurlclaws. While they found poaching preferable to the alternative they did not enjoy the rule of the Coeurlclaw and finally one of their more outspoken and young members, Rhela decided that it was time they truly split away. Rhela founded the Bloodtusk, taking all of the Jakkya family that would come with her as well as a few that bore another name, the group took up near the Mun Tuy Cellars in the South Shroud and began their ascent to notoriety.
Rhela was an iron willed and ruthless leader but it couldn't be said that she didn't take care of her family. She was relentless when it came to only teaching them the best hunting techniques, sacrificing things like reading and writing in favor of training was just a fact of life for any born into the band of poachers. Rhela was a survivor above all else, keeping the Bloodtusk going as her main priority, if that meant that she had to teach the girls to seduce passing males to keep their line going then so be it. Being mostly of the Jakkya family meant they had to find 'breeders' outside of their own, while wandering males were an option they didn't exactly go looking for the group and that meant that ever so often Rhela would have to send out a small 'party' of those ready to breed to find these males.
The groups couldn't always afford to be picky but it was Rhela's belief that any child could be toughened and she demonstrated such with her own daughter, Taiga, whom he was grooming to suceed her. Any males that showed interest in joining the group was allowed to do so, any that declined were quickly dismissed, any who lasted long enough to know they had a child and showed interest in taking that child were terminated. Always subtly, delicately, Rhela was not a stupid woman by any means.
So through those means the Bloodtusk grew in standing and size but still remained one of the much smaller groups in the Shroud. Unfortunately that meant they also caused friction with the other groups as they frequently picked off their kills at the last moment or even preyed on them to even out the numbers. It wasn't long before they finally stirred enough unrest with the Ixal that the Beastmen retaliated unexpectedly, the Warband that attacked them were no match for the Archers but in their arrogance the poachers hadn't thought of the rest of the Ixali Clan surprsing them. And surprise them they did. Half of the Bloodtusk were wiped out in that evening, including Rhela, the leader had held on through the battle and long enough after to impart some advice to her daughter before dying of her wounds. Her advice was to find the rest of the Jakkya family, to go back to them.
Taiga has taken over in her stead and has been dutifully searching for the other pieces of the Jakkya family, outside of the Coeurlclaws that she avoids. Recently she has met with Kiht and agreed to meet her side of the family as well as the Morbolvine, witholding the news of the Bloodtusk's decimation for the time being.
So if that was a bit jumbled I apologize, what it represents is a chance for you to have a Jakkya from a poacher background that isn't with the Coeurlclaws and to have a prior connection when entering the story. This avenue is also open to those that are not originally Jakkya's due to the male part of the story, so, females that join SHOULD have the Jakkya name but males that join are allowed to not have it so long as they were considered a breeder when they entered the poaching band.
