Anthem

-The Primordial Roar- A genetic trait of all Mazoku stemming from an organic mechanism located in the brain's speech center that produces an unknown particle that interacts with ambient electrons, enabling them to produce devastating subatomic vibrations via a "quasi-sonic scream". However, Because this electron-harnessing ability is linked to the speech center of the brain, any attempt to use their vocal cords triggers an uncontrollable disturbance of the particle/electron interaction field. Because of this limitation, the Mazoku are trained from birth to be constantly vigilant of even the softest of utterances, lest they destroy anything or anyone in their path. While it is possible for them to learn to control the devastating effects of their voice under immense training, the Mazoku have generally become proficient in sign language and other forms of nonvocal communication.

Traits/Physiology

The Mazoku are ape-like humanoids that possess the physical strength of titans. They come in many different shapes and sizes. But on average their height ranges anywhere from 7' to 10' tall. Their fur covered hides are soft to touch but possess piezoelectric qualities that grow stronger and tougher in response to applied mechanical pressure and latent heat. But their skeletal structure is the most durable of all, as their marrow is the key to their otherworldly resiliency. It their strongest physical attribute.

They possess tails that gift them extraordinary balance and dexterity. They can recover from wounds that should prove fatal to other organisms but they are far from impervious. Akundae's hide, for example, had grown so tough, many believe their leader to truly be impervious to damage of any kind. But his scars tell the tale of the work behind the glory.


Bio

The Mazoku Tribe stands as a formidable force within the vast tapestry of the Bhalian Empire, their influence stretching far and wide across the realms of Vescrutia. Led by their indomitable chief, Akundae, the Mazoku are a race of prehistoric primate-elves, their lineage steeped in the ancient traditions and sorceries that have shaped the very fabric of their world.

Physically imposing and possessed of a raw, primal strength, the Mazoku warriors are renowned for their prowess in battle, their fur-covered hides concealing muscles honed through millennia of conflict and strife. From their imposing stature to the keen dexterity gifted by their tails, they are a force to be reckoned with, their very presence striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

But it is not just their martial prowess that sets the Mazoku apart; it is their mastery of the arcane arts and their deep connection to the mystical energies that course through the world around them. From the Primordial Roar that echoes with the fury of a thousand storms to the ancient discipline of Shinjutsu, the Mazoku harness the power of the elements to bend reality to their will, shaping the very fabric of existence with the strength of their convictions.

At the heart of the Mazoku Tribe lies the stronghold of Akundae, a towering citadel of obsidian and stone that serves as both a bastion of strength and a beacon of hope for all who dwell within its walls. Here, amidst the swirling mists of incense and the crackling energy of arcane rituals, the Mazoku gather to train, to meditate, and to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.

But beyond the borders of their stronghold, the Mazoku's influence extends far and wide, encompassing the many regions and provinces of the Bhalian Empire. From the bustling markets of B'halia to the remote outposts of the northern frontier, the Mazoku are a presence felt in every corner of the realm, their warriors standing vigilant against any who would dare to threaten the empire's sovereignty.

And at the center of it all stands Akundae, a figure of myth and legend whose name strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies and inspires awe and reverence in his allies. As both Chief of the Mazoku Tribe and Emperor of the Bhalian Empire, he is a leader without equal, his wisdom and strength guiding the empire through times of peace and war alike.

But even as Akundae's power reaches its zenith, he is haunted by the specter of his own mortality, his mind slowly succumbing to the ravages of time and memory. Yet still he presses on, his resolve unbroken, his spirit undaunted, for he knows that the fate of the empire and all who dwell within it rests upon his broad shoulders.

And so, as the sun sets on another day in the Bhalian Empire, the Mazoku stand ready to defend their homeland against any who would dare to challenge its sovereignty, their loyalty to their chief and their empire unwavering in the face of whatever trials may lie ahead.

Culture

The Mazoku tribe place great emphasis on strength and power as a source of prestige, measuring and defining their race from infancy by their power level and placing them in an associated social caste afterwards. A baby's power level is measured as soon as they are born and able to cry. Should the might of their voices be up to standard they are raised as upper-level warriors. If their power level remains low even after a certain amount of time has passed, they are either classed as low-level warriors or become either engineers, scientists, physicians, or academics. However, infants born with chromosomal abnormalities are immediately culled as a means to conserve genetic superiority.

Despite their reverence for strength, the Mazoku are not at all adverse to. technology. They are a highly advanced and intelligent species; practitioners of both nano and biotechnology, with a keen focus on genetic engineering, climatology, and ecology. Inventors and exceptional academics are also awarded similar status to that of elite level warriors. Their tribe abides by a druid-like religion, where every citizen dedicates themselves to protecting the balance of the powerful physical forces that underlie all creation. This energy has many names (Reishi, Naten, Tao, Qi, Fo') but it is the life force that exists within all things; living, nonliving, spiritual or anything in-between. The ability to manipulate this energy endows one with the power to touch upon the very origins of creation. The name of this discipline is known as Shinjutsu.

Religion

The B'halian Empire have all adopted the Mazoku tribes teachings of spirituality and seem to worship the very planet and the natural energy of all living things; known as the practice Shinjutsu. As a result they are naturally attuned to ebb and flow of the elements and the environment. They also believe humans to be the root cause of global conflict and will eventually bring upon planetary ruin.

Shinjutsu

Shinjutsu is an ancient discipline practiced by the Mazoku Tribe within the Bhalian Empire, rooted in the profound understanding and manipulation of the fundamental energies that permeate the universe. Derived from the belief that all living beings and natural phenomena are interconnected by a universal life force, Shinjutsu seeks to unlock the latent potential within oneself and the world around them.

At its core, Shinjutsu is a philosophy that encompasses both spiritual enlightenment and practical application, teaching its practitioners to harmonize their inner energies with the cosmic forces that govern existence. Through meditation, rigorous training, and the study of arcane texts and rituals, adherents of Shinjutsu seek to attune themselves to the ebb and flow of the universe, harnessing its power to achieve a state of transcendent consciousness and profound insight.

Central to the practice of Shinjutsu is the concept of ki, or life energy, which flows through all living beings and natural phenomena like a river of light. By channeling and manipulating this energy through focused concentration and disciplined meditation, practitioners of Shinjutsu can achieve extraordinary feats of physical and metaphysical prowess, from healing wounds and enhancing physical strength to bending the elements to their will and communing with the spirits of nature.

But Shinjutsu is not merely a tool for personal empowerment; it is also a philosophy of balance and harmony, teaching its followers to respect the interconnectedness of all things and to tread lightly upon the earth. Through acts of compassion, mindfulness, and stewardship, practitioners of Shinjutsu seek to preserve the delicate equilibrium of the natural world, ensuring that future generations may inherit a world rich in beauty and abundance.

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, Shinjutsu is a formidable force, capable of shaping the very fabric of reality itself. But like any source of power, it must be wielded with wisdom and restraint, lest its awesome potential be turned to destructive ends. And so, the followers of Shinjutsu walk a fine line between light and darkness, seeking to harness the power of the universe for the greater good of all beings.
