Capital: N/A
Government: Pseudo caste system built around battle and conquest; unified under the strongest warrior who takes the title of Shura-ou
Notable Territories: Nomadic
Population: Unknown
History: The Shura are a strange race of human-like beings that are able to harness a mystical power source called Haki and generally possess a vast wealth of the energy in their body. Haki being as much of “life energy” as it is a utility, Shura can be quite long lived provided they don’t expend their Haki or offer it up as fuel for one of their Shura gods.
The Shura people are nomadic and are scarcely tied to any planets or regions of space. With an odd penchant to find themselves split across star systems and even universes, the Shura as a nation are quite fractured with several cliques and clans within it.
However structured these sects are, an individual is always keen to place themselves at the top, and the one above all Shura of all groups is claimed as Shura-ou, the Shura King. Ruling with a universal might, be it by sheer power or esteem among peers, the Shura-ou leads the nation in civilities and battles alike. Despite the Shura people’s personal power and skill, they would not have gotten anywhere without their “gods”, the Shurashin. Even to the Shura the origins of the deific machines are mysterious; certain units appear imperceptibly ancient and are inspired by, or have perhaps inspired, legends and figures of Shura antiquity.
The machine gods are sentient beings that wield great power, but largely reserve its use for a Shura of their own choosing. Some wait in slumber for their chosen one, while others wander the universe for a worthy warrior. Quite adamant in their choice, Shurashin will not allow anyone else to wield their power and will not hesitate to drain “the unworthy” of their life force for their audacity.
As time went on, the Shura people succeeded in paying tribute to the Shurashin by developing their own machines. While paling in comparison to their progenitors, these mass produced Shurashin allowed the Shura to ramp up their nomadic conquest from relying on singular heroes to assembling armies.
Now spread far and wide across the universe, Shura life has come to a threshold that finds the nomadic warriors questioning their culture and wondering what “Shura” means to them.
