Fenik

The cunning Fenik, the wildcard race of Auria. While some see them more as a joke, the proud Feniks have proven time and time again that their ingenuity and will to survive shows no limits. As one of the core races of the world, originating from the very beginning of existence itself, the Feniks make a life out of trade and craftsmanship, their love for tinkering and knowledge showing no bounds. Their capital, Streamgear, is a large, technologically advanced city where the fox people flourish in sharing their intelligence with whomever passes through.

During the War which led to the Great Fall, the Feniks joined the Wild Elves after they were liberated from the Humans’ grasp, the little folk proving themselves on the battlefield as they made decisive moves against the Human empire thanks to the Fenik’s higher-grade technology and weaponry.

After the war, the Feniks returned to Streamgear, a wondrous steampunk port city in the Saber Islands to continue their work, though some Feniks saw a future outside the steamy streets of their home city. As such, many of them stayed behind in the Luxford to teach their tinkering to other races of the world as well as serving as valuable members in the military that upholds peace to this day.

At one point, the Feniks and the Dwarves begun teaching one another, giving the Feniks' a new understanding in brewery that led to them using the full potential of the exotic, tropical environment outside of their city walls to create refreshing beverages that was a step further from the muck-tainted water and plain beer they had been living off of for thousands of years. In return for this knowledge, the Feniks shared their ways of tinkering with the Dwarves, allowing them to create a wider arsenal of siege machines and ranged weaponry.

Physical Appearences
Fenik are a diverse race when it comes to appearances, some appearing more animalistic than others. All Fenik sport large, fox-like ears that grant them increased hearing and their teeth are built for a carnivore, however the diet of a modern Fenik is more akin to an omnivore. They are also short, the tallest Fenik in history growing up to be 150cm tall after multiple chemical incidents. All Fenik also sport a tail, though the length and bushiness of it differs between individuals - some are short tufts while others are long and bushy. The eyes of a Fenik are incredibly sharp, able to notice small details from far away.

Fenik have smooth, Human-like skin that ranges in a variety of exotic colours with specific spots on their bodies covered by fur that matches their skin colour. Some Fenik are fully covered in this fur, though they are more rare. The facial structure of a Fenik is also varied based on their heredity - some have short snouts protruding from their face with canine noses while others remain flat and have Human-like noses. The hair of a Fenik also ranges in style and colour, some choosing to go short while others go long, with no real limits shown for their race.

Male and Female Fenik look largely identical, although the women have curvier builds and somewhat larger eyes.
