[b][u]Physical Characteristics[/u][/b]
The Isari are Bipedal humanoids evolved from avian creatures on their homeworld of Andoni. Featuring a body covered in keratin feathers which appear thicker and in more abundance towards the head and along the arms which provides not only warmth but protection from the elements. Much like their earthen counterparts, all Isari have beaks with sharp ridges perfect for grinding and ripping food, representing their carnivorous diet while making their avian heritage clear to all. The Isari are a warmblooded species capable of regulating their own blood temperature within a four chambered heart.

[i]Artist's rendition of an Isari without their battledress.[/i][/center]

Standing on average around 6'2" - 6'8" Isari are impressively tall, despite this they remain deceptively lighter in weight than their height might have one believe. Isari feet are ended with three strong talon-like claws with a fourth claw in the back while their hands feature 4 digits and a thumb ended with similar claws. 

[b][u]Psychology[/u][/b]
Isari have a well-known dedication to honour, and how deeply rooted this trait is remains debatable. However, all Isari tend to view all living things as deserving of courtesy and respect. To an Isari honour is more than a word. Cowardice is not simply undesirable, it is considered outright repulsive as enforced by the Seven Tenants. 

Despite a dedication to excellence and high standards which might even be viewed as arrogance or proudness by others. The Isari as it were, 'wear their hearts on their sleeves' and typically do not hide their emotion. They harbour a certain enthusiasm towards life and success, to fail is simply a matter of trying again with a stronger drive to improve one's self. To be reserved or timid is a rare thing amongst Isari, for the Tenants upon which they live by demand the utmost trust in those around them, for the group reflects the individual.

[b][u]The Seven Tenants[/u][/b]

[B]Integrity[/b] - Be acutely honest throughout your dealings with all people. Believe in justice, not from others but yourself. To the true warrior, all points of view should be deeply considered regarding honesty, justice and integrity. 

[b]Respect[/b] - True warriors have no reason to be cruel. They do not need to prove their strength. Warriors are courteous even to their enemies. Warriors are not only respected for their strength in battle, but also by their dealings with others.

[b]Heroic Courage[/b] - Hiding like a coward is not living at all. A true warrior must have heroic courage. It is absolutely risky, it is risking life completely, fully and wonderfully. 

[b]Honour[/b] - Warriors have only one judge of honour and character, and it is themselves. Decisions they make and how these decisions are carried out is a reflection of whom they truly are. 

[b]Compassion[/b] - Through intense training and hard work the true warrior becomes quick and strong. They are not as most people. They develop a power that must be used for good. They have compassion, they help their fellows whenever they can.

[b]Honest and Sincerity[/b] - When warriors say that they will perform an action, it is as good as done. Nothing will stop them from completing their word. 

[b]Duty and Loyalty[/b] -  Warriors are responsible for everything that they have done and everything that they have said, and all of the consequences that follow. For everyone that they are responsible for, they shall remain fiercely true.
