Kanu

Rakshasa Monk
On the high plains in the mountains in the North East of Edenea sits the Rakshasa temple, and within the confines of this temple dwell the Rakshasa Monks. The rakshasa monks are a group of humans who decided to live in peace in the mountains where they could meditate peacefully and learn the art of meditation and the Rakshasa.

While the Rakshasa are renowned to be one of the most peaceful races in Edenea, in all actuality they are also one of the most deadly. Each time their temple has encountered conflict, the Rakshasa have faced the conflict head on and won with few casualties. This is because while the Rakshasa meditate to find calm and to avoid combat, they are also heavily trained in hand to hand combat as a form of self-improvement and counter balance to their sullenness. One case, when the Taureon marched up the mountain seeking to take the wealth, gold and ornaments of the Rakshasa, one of the masters stepped forward and calmly asked the Taureon to leave peacefully. When the Taureon attacked, the master destroyed their group with his combat technique, taking no injuries.

It is said that the key to the Rakshasa combat is to meditate on their thoughts and control their emotions. However, controlling emotions can also mean bottling down anger and hatred. The Rakshasa are masters at storing their anger and hatred deep, and recalling it when necessary. This is the key to their technique and how they fight. The training is calm and collected, while the combat involves the purest form of aggression and adrenaline.

Kanu is the current leader of the Rakshasa. He seeks to restore the Rakshasa to the glory they once knew in the peaceful times preceding the Katigall invasion and the start of the second era, as the Rakshasa are not a combat-minded people. An ancient feud between the Rakshasa and the Shura ninjas still carries on to this day, despite both sides having conceded several times in the past. Kanu has sworn as leader of the Rakshasa to right the wrongs the Shura have brought to the Rakshasa, and to bring balance back to the Eastern continent of Edenea.
