We have avians, felines, canines and fish. I'm not saying we need every animal subgroup but, I think bears could bring interesting lore and mechanics to the table.

I'm thinking of them as big grumpy lovable people that are territorial like bears, and share their ferocious will to defend their own, making them natural "tanks".



Lore example:
The Ursa are unique among Kaelensia as they tend to be more solitary. Due to this, they are among the least civilised people of Egwyn, secluding themselves to hunting grounds just large enough to feed themselves as soon as they're old enough to leave the familial den. Ursa don't get along with their own kind either, defending their territory fiercely, unless they're in search of a mate. The Ursa form small familial dens, and the mothers are famous for being unstoppable when defending their young. Ursa also hibernate for extended periods, and due to all these factors, are a rare sight even in Egwyn. Those who leave to Sigrogana might be in search of their own piece of land where they can hibernate in peace, or a more adventurous life away from that sheltered way of life.

Ursa are naturally strong and resilient, but their affinity with magic is among the worst of the Kael. They are usually bulkier than humans, and have thick, tough skin.

Stats:
Tied for highest vitality, decent strength, decent defense, low everything else.

Racials:
Golden eyes: The usual blind reduction/immunity
Instinct: DEF and RES only
Hibernate: Active skill. costs 3+ momentum. Curl into a defensive ball and rest. You recover rapidly, regaining SAN*2 health at the start of next round, and gaining guard level M. Gain the sleepy status next round, which reduces your damage by 20%. 3 round CD.

Traits:
Pure Instinct: The usual
Territorial: You hate people intruding your personal space. When an enemy moves (or is moved) within 1 range of you, you gain a +3 bonus to strength for 2 rounds. If instinct is active, gain +6 instead.
Protective: Although Ursa are naturally solitary, they also tend to develop strong bonds with people they trust, and instinctively grow angry when others threaten their loved ones. When an enemy damages one of your allies, gain +5 scaled weapon attack versus them for 2 rounds. If instinct is active, gain +15 instead.

Hibernate traits: (Choose one!)
Hard sleeper: Hibernate cures one negative status effect, but if it does, the sleepy status reduces your damage by another 10%.
Light sleeper: Hibernate's sleepy status only reduces damage by 10%.



My goal here wasn't to create something I expect to be added straight up into the game, but I hope this gives Dev some ideas for a race like this! I know we have a lot of kaelensia in the game in general but I think these would be a nice addition that doesn't overlap much with the others thematically and mechanically. Feel free to give some input of course, and more ideas of your own!

Sidenote: I thought about giving vitality with instinct but I don't want them to be pigeonholed into playing ghost :^) just a relatively tanky SAN race with a defensive ability. I'm concerned however that it might make them a bit favored towards Black Knight so they can use things like sacrifice to tank, and forced move for territorial. People already play a lot of black knight on races like Dullahan, zeran, etc. I was thinking of giving them a way to use the protect skill outside of soldier and without a shield, but on a 1m use and with a cooldown, like a worse version of sacrifice. What do you think? It would be cool to see character that can play the role of tank outside of black knight. Like, demon hunter with a martial artist promo or cool stuff like that

No idea what causes this... but sometimes if you go to one player's house, leave, and then go into another that you have bouncer permissions in... instead of the house your in's guestlist, you'll get the previous one's.

I.E., we were in the Hearth, and left to go to my player home. Popped open the guest list, and what do you know! 

Just a quick little idea I had, I see a lot of people doing < words for RP> in says, and it just got me thinking, I think it's about time to start thinking of a think verb. something like *Thinks* for voicing your thoughts, it would just add a bit more spice to RP I think, and let people send an RP in a direction they want without outwardly saying things.

Eviter currently procs even if you evade an attack fully. While this may not seem like a great deal it causes problems such as eating durability for no reason and losing perfect poise because the game considers the attack as landing despite you evading it.



How to reproduce:
1. Grab Eviter and a lot of evade
2. Get attacked by anything and dodge it as Eviter procs over and over

Relatively simple suggestion with this one. More options to be added to the mask of the night lord would be cool; specifically youkai. Right now, if you win a fight against a player and defeat their youkai, the sprites aren't added into the list of potential forms. Sadly, aside from only a few of the youkai (pumpkin, firefox, legume), you can't fight them outside of a battle with a player. My suggestion is to allow the defeat of youkai in PvP to render them accessible on the list of forms. (it could be especially useful for Shapeshifters to have access to it outside of combat for RP reasons).



It would be nice. That's all.
