_{Region of Origin:} Calder

Information:
The kyojin are known as "Iron Giants" because of their extreme strength and tough bodies. Because they were scattered throughout the land, the kyojin were used as slaves for years until the last century because of their ability to work hard working conditions and their strength.

Kyojins are known as nomads. They often travel on their own with a small group. Though, they lived and respected the rules of others and tend to enjoy the company of their own people. Because they were once slaves, the kyojin are a bit unforgiving of the other races who had used them but they tend to not cause trouble in fear of being ruled again.

Kyojin have a weaker immune system than the other races and their necks are a major weak point. While they have tough skin, it doesn't mean their skin is impenetrable, they can just take a lot of damage, and kyojion are known to heal a lot quicker than other races.

Appearance:
Kyojin are known to be tall and often muscular. Their skin often tends to be darker, though there are paler kyojin. Their skin is marked is with designs that can be either lighter than their skin color or darker. These marks can mock tiger stripes, cheetah spots, freckles, or leopard spots.

These markings don't have to be all over their body, sometimes they only show up on their shoulders or their torsos. Most commonly they are found on their tail. Their tails look a lot like lion's tail, except the tail is skin with a fluff at the end. The fluff matches their hair color which comes in a variety of colors, along with their eyes.

Kyojin's ears come to a point but are not too large. Because the race is more modern, they tend to wear more modern clothing.

History:
Once, the kyojin were a united race that was very powerful because they had stood together. They lived in solitary and confinement, under the rule of a dictator of their own. They proved to be mighty warriors who would be a great army, if they fought for the right cause.

Other races, even the kyojin themselves, started to fear the dictator in worry of complete take over and the destruction of the land. To dispel this fear, the dictator was assassinated, and any nobles that the kyojin had were caught and killed. Any government that once existed in the kyojin was obliterated and the empire fell in complete and utter ruin.

The kyojin became separated and scattered throughout all of Calder. Years passed and the kyojin's strength was rediscovered, but they were used as slaves. It wasn't until this last century that the kyojin finally fought back and gained their freedom, but most till live in bitter anger for how their great race was treated.
