 +The Raiken have a 'Given, Clan, Title' naming convention. The given name is given to a youngling by their parents. A clan name is bestowed to the individual's current clan, if they have one. If they are adopted or married into another clan, their birthclan is replaced. If an individual is exiled, they lose their clan name. Titles are variable and the highest title given to an individual is used. If no special titles have been bestowed or an individual prefers it, Raiken have an informal third name that usually relates to a past deed or their profession. Male names are usually rough, starting with letters such as 'R,O,S,Z,K,G, and D', while usually ending in some abrupt fashion. Female names are typically less rough, starting with letters such as 'I,L,S,N, and A'.

-Condense species page appearance down for this section, with colourations and occurrence. Be sure to note obvious signifiers and fashions and other such commonalities.+ 
 +Raiken scale colors are as varied as the metal and stone they eat. Typically revolving around metal-based paint, most Raiken have a two-tone body, where the heavier plates are a darker shade than the softer scales. In addition to this, Raiken typically have some sort of pattern on their scales, with the pattern having a different color than their normal scale hue. This is a marker of family and clan, as kin share the exact same pattern while all clanmates are similar to each other. 
 + 
 +Males tend to be bulkier than females, featuring rocky ridges and spines on their face and back which females lack. Females tend to have slightly longer tails than males. 
 + 
 +===== Fashion ===== 
 + 
 +<blockquote> 
 + 
 +For the Raiken, clothing is a status symbol, since it is rarely needed for survival. (That is not to say it is never needed.) But rather than being adorned due to supposed wealth, Raiken adorn their garb, which are typically open-faced robes, with marks of deeds. While an everyday worker may don a plain brown cloak for their work in factories, mines, or fields, an honored warrior's robes are detailed with varying stripes and medals, each one a mark for a heroic deed accomplished at some point. Alliance soldiers wear white robes with black trim as their standard uniform. 
 + 
 +Past their open-faced robes, the Raiken do not typically wear anything else. For accessories, metal bands and other such jewelry are worn as status indicators, not for style. Instead of wearing accessories, a common practice for Raiken is to engrave or paint their scales with markings, whether for status or style.

     * **Plated Scales** - Raiken have plated scales that are nearly impervious to conventional weapons fire. Joints, their stomach, and neck are not as well armored, but are still highly resistant to small arms fire. This protection extends to fire and some acids.     * **Plated Scales** - Raiken have plated scales that are nearly impervious to conventional weapons fire.

-    * **Brute Strength** - Raiken possess a physical strength that is comparable to construction equipment. They are capable of smashing through walls, throwing lighter cars, and breaking the bones of less durable creatures without much effort. They are capable of lifting and moving things weighing less than them with minimal effort. Lifting things larger or heavier than them takes effort, but most Raiken can lift up to twice their own weight over their head, if in decent shape. This leads to some issues when they are trying to be gentle. Raiken frequently breaks things they do not mean to.+    * **Brute Strength** - Raiken possess a physical strength that is comparable to construction equipment.

     * **Minor Regeneration** - Raiken possess a second circulatory system dedicated to healing and repairing the body. This will not help them in combat, but it is invaluable during recovery from severe wounds.     * **Minor Regeneration** - Raiken possess a second circulatory system dedicated to healing and repairing the body.

     * **Tail** - Their tail and the bladed-end of it, are not just for show. It is more than effective at being used as a weapon or force-based tool. The tail does lack fine motor control however, which means it cannot be used to grasp or wrap around things effectively.     * **Tail** - Their tail and the bladed-end of it, are not just for show.

 +With the last War between Brothers a distant memory not even remembered by the eldest elder, the Raiken have enjoyed an age of relative 'peace'. Instead of dealing with war, the Raiken have come face to face with the reality that they are not alone in the galaxy. Rather, they are but one of many species. Despite this, they carry on and stick to the ways of old while everything else changes around them. 
 + 
 +Some races, they conquered, asserting their claim that strength determines who rules. Others, they begrudgingly engage in talks with, despite their aggressive nature. This is an age of discovery and expansion, where all Raiken look to the stars.
