History
Tikasa are the product of genetic mutation of Humans during the post Armageddon age. The original Humans that were mutated were those who travel west from the kingdom of Kingdom of Van Carno to form Gear Nation. But halfway through the journey in what is now Death's Turf , a group splintered off and head south though the Great Waste. Those who survived the harsh journey found themselves in a lush land full resources. How the mutation occurred remains a mystery since no real records were documented. But after it happen the Tikasa came into being and began a series of rapid expansion to expend their jungles. Forming the Unified Tikasa Tribes as they treated each other as kin. They would go unopposed for a few centuries, but that would all change when the Machine of the Machine Collective settled next to them. Along with the Mutant Commonwealth to the east of them. It would soon lead to open war lasting for thousands of years. They soon enough fight the rest of the factions on the continent as well later on. It would not be until the founding of The Pheonixian Dominions that they would finally make peace with them. As the lands of the continent was divided equally among the dominions, they went into seclusion for a time, until finally they agreed to work with their former enemies and accept them as their neighbors. Peace allowed them to prosper and grow as time went on, but they always prepared for war as they knew that true peace was nothing more then a waking dream. As the ages went by, they endured as technology was continuing to advance. Their weaponry and tactics are still lethal to this day in fact, even though they look primitive and harmless. But a spear that can pierce though battle armor and a raging war beast can really make the difference on the battlefield.

Tikis consider most other races as lost and misguided in the ways of life ass they war and steal from one another. They are especially resentful of those who destroy nature for profit as well. But as members of The Pheonixian Dominions they have learned that their are those who wish to do the greater good in the world. Find some friends among the other dominions as well. But it doesn't mean they see eye to eye on everything.
