Onika People

Onika Peoples
The Onika Tribes are a part of the Shangté subculture group that is a part of the Asikh ethnic group.

what's special about the Onika is their unique physical features, including Ram like Horns on their foreheads and some even having wings in various sizes. Another Unique feature is that their basic level of strength equals some of the strongest and mightiest humans throughout Rathnir.

Natives of Plagos believe that the Onikan were originally apart of the Naho people of Plagatea, but were created by strong superstitions and beliefs of the spiritual plane.

Blue Onika:
Unique features include blue (any shade of blue) eyes and blue horns. Blue Onikans tend to be more intuitive and are driven by curiosity, and their imagination. Blue Onika's can sometimes be argued as the most dangerous out of all the Onika people. With their cunning and fast mind, they are quite the challenging foe on the battlefields of Rathnir. Blue Onikans specialize in science as well as diplomacy and governmental roles, but can also be found on the battlefield leading groups of soldiers or even large armies

Red Onika:
Unique features include red (any shade of red) eyes and horns. Red Onikans have strong emotions and are never neutral on anything, for them it's always extremes. They tend to be more aggressive and are driven by anger and Pride. if you insult a Red Onikan, it may be your last time you speak ever again. You can often find Red Onika's in the militaries of neighboring countries whether they are officially Enlisted, Conscripted or hired as mercenaries

Yellow Onika:
Yellow Onikans have golden eyes and horns and are much more docile than their red and blue counterparts, they are more entuned with nature and tend to stay away from the big towns the Onikans populate, they are found along the coast of the Plagos countryside. They commonly take on the roles of Foresters, Farmers, and Gatherers. They are very rarely seen fighting in conflicts and with each other because of their pacifist nature. However, because of this belief, it has been the cause for the extreme decline in the Yellow Onikan population, for they would never strike a man even if they were being attacked.

Lore
The Onika people are descendants of the God Realm, it was a small fabric in space where time moves far more differently than that of Rathnir and Eldham. The people lived in the Realm of Oren, named after their god; It was filled with constant war and bloodshed with tribes fighting each other constantly, not for strife or friction (mostly of the time) but for pure entertainment. However, there was such a battle that had changed the course of their way of life indefinitely. This battle was referred to as Oren's Calamity, not much is known about the events that took place, only what came after. From what is known, passed down as mere folklore and scary bedtime stories. it is said that during Oren's Calamity every living soul was up in arms fighting. while it was not uncommon for a large group of tribes to duke it out, this was the first time a "100% participation" rate was achieved, this mere fact shattered the realm into pieces breaking space and time and sending those who remained throughout the realms of Rathnir and Eldham. A majority of Onikans had found themselves in a new place, the natives had called this beautiful land Plagos. it took some time for the language barrier to break thanks to the keen intellect of the Blue Onikan tribes, however this milestone wouldn't be enough to shed bad habits, for the Onikans love a good fight, and fight they did, searching for a fight grander and more capacious. This constant fighting would leave a permanent mark on the reputation of plagos for years to come, commonly referred to as a war-torn hell, with dozens of countries fighting to the death over small chunks of land, the Onikans decided to settle down here and join in on the fighting some being employed as mercenaries where others formed their own tribes and partook in weekly skirmishes throughout Plagos. Soon there was a clear powerhouse that would soon take over the continent of Plagos, The Plagatean Empire. while some Onikans were employed by the Empire to bolster their numbers, a majority sought to fight them for the thrill of the fight, being gravely outmanned and "outgunned" they thought the grand battle only the strongest could dream about was finally upon them. However, it wasn't until Akihiro Nero took power and claimed the Tagavors throne, that the fighting would stop; not because tribes had given up, but they thought this man was not a reincarnation but the living god Oren in the flesh. Word had quickly spread throughout the tribes that their god had returned and despite going against some wishes a ceasefire was enacted so they could beg for forgiveness after essentially, attacking an extension of Oren's will and body. where many thought a harsh punishment would be received, it was quite the opposite, Oren (Akihiro Nero) had welcomed the Onikans into his domain with the contingency that they stop sacking and fighting within plagatea and focus their efforts onto the foreign nations abroad for they were simply just another fish in a very large fishbowl who housed much bigger fish than their own
