Rohktans!
Adopts - Nursery - Customs/Store - Archive - Artist Search - Fan Club

Rohktans are a large sentient feline species that lives alongside humans and elves. They come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Some have the ability to control magic while others prefer to use their strength or voice.

Pronunciation: Ro-keh-tan (the beginning of the word is meant to sound gravelly like that of a growl though pronunciation without the rumble is acceptable to the species. Its also acceptable to call them Rohks.)

About Cubs
Rohktan cubs are extremely fluffy and their markings and colors are often indistinct. Many mutations are hidden until the cubs age. As the cubs grow into adults they lose their baby coats which allow for their true colors and markings to appear as can be seen above.

Hierarchy's

When it comes to classes and rank theres two sets. The first is the family hierarchy. There is always a dominant adult (male or female) that is the representative and leader for their family, then there are any non blood related adults that are the 'subs' (usually 1-3 subs in a family) and the mates of the 'dom' (and each other), after that there is the cubs and adolescents that are basically protected by the family until they reach maturity in which they are expected to go off on their own and start their own family/extend their family.
The society ranks are different. The Doms are expected to have some sort of official role in order to provide for their family and represent their family in official matters (if a doms sub breaks the law it is the doms responsibility to take the punishment depending on what has been done). Different ranks include mage/scholar that focus one magic abilities, warriors/gaurds that focus on protecting the cities and roads they also usually have a human/elf partner, and the diplomats that are basically their to keep order and peace between the two races. (Sometimes people will get to choose what faction their cats go into other times the artist chooses) also there can be loners/rogues who dont live by the rules or live outside of the cities. Some of them dont accept or more so hate the humans/elves and will even attack them.


Classes

Warrior: Typically stronger with lesser magic abilities. The warrior class is made up of hunters, guards, fighters, ect. The warriors that choose to be guards are often paired with a human or elf partner.

Magi: Usually has stranger magic abilities and less strength. The Magi class is usually divided into scholars, diplomats, and general magic users such as healers.

Classes are mainly used for certain competitions and RP purposes. Just because your Rohk is from one class it doesn't mean that it cant have the strentghs of the other class. Once you choose a class for your Rohk it can not be changed with out use of a special item.


World Lore

The rohktans live in a fantasy based world that is dominated by three main races: humans, elves, and the rohktans themselves. The three races typically get along well so long as everyone follows the rules. Humans and elves often have the most augements between each other while the Rohktans are often times the mediators. There are several large cities that the races often mingle in, however each race also has their own villages and cities that they dominate.

More of the Rohktans

Lifespan

Rohks age at the same rate humans do until they reach the adult stage, in which the aging process slows. Most rohks easily live to be a couple hundred years old, though some with powerful magic have lived for several thousand.

Diet

Rohks tend to eat whatever food they like. If they cant prep and cook it themselves they'll resort to eating raw, though some do truly enjoy staying in touch with this primitive nature.
