While the dominating animal races of the world all lean toward a herbivorous diet, one race is the exception to that rule; the Rasha. Rasha are canine like in appearance, with a fair amount of variation between each one. The average build for Rasha is a standard, folded ear mutt dog, with more rare variations resembling dingos, foxes, or African Wild Dogs. Fur varies in length from shaggy to nearly hairless. Colors are equally diverse, from rusty reds, to shades of gray, brindle, spots, or stripes. Gifted with a naturally powerful bite, a larger Rasha can cause serious damage if attacking unarmed. Generally shorter than humans?, Rasha also tend to live to the same age of 60-65 as mankind. Reproduction among Rasha is highly variable on location, status and availability of food.
During the early race wars, Rasha were the first to strike up alliance with humanity, securing them a niche in many cities, but not all will allow Rasha to take up residence outside of occasional travelers passing through. Ones that do, tend to make note of this with symbols and signs. Their requirement of a partially carnivorous diet, is often overlooked by the wary human race due to Rasha being inherently trustworthy and loyal. While Rasha get on well with humanity, they suffer some conflict with other Second Race, namely the more common Erosi and Wepi, whom are often part of the Rasha diet. Jacks of all trades when it comes to work, Rasha will find their own niche for work, ranging from framers, to teachers, to crafters.
Within the Halzin Nations Rasha and Rula share the third most common Second Race spot.
Elsewhere, the prefer to stay in larger cities and traveling groups, as lone Rasha have a tendency to be confused with the more dangerous Feri.
