The Red Ichneumon

Origin

The Red Ichneumon were created by The Samos Nation to replace The Order of Ichneumon. Much like the original, they are the keepers of peace, protectors of the isles, and meant to be forever loyal to the people. They train to better fight rogue dragons, the strongest of them taking an oath to the goddess Jharana. Should they break any part of their oath, Jharana is said to strike them dead herself. With these abilities, the main purpose of The Red Ichneumon is to hunt and kill weredragons.

Skills and Abilities

Their oath gives them inhuman speed, inhuman self healing, resistance to fire, telepathic abilities among other Ichneumon, and very rarely, manipulation over water. Though the nature of the oath does not allow them to break it without dire consequence, members of The Red Ichneumon are rarely religious, let alone devout believers in Jharana. Not only does this cause political conflict among believers, but it is said that few of The Red Ichneumon can manipulate water for this very reason.
Due to the nature of their target and their own specialties, The Ichneumon are trained in three main weapons, often specializing in one; the chakram, the bagh nakh, and the bow. Chakram and arrows allow for long distance attacks, even when the weredragon is flying, while the bagh nakh (claws) allow for sneak attacks/assassinations, as well as emulation of the weredragon's own claw swipes to better block and retaliate.
