Bugkin
animal, every man, every divine and unholy creature in the heavens above and the hells below will suffer dearly, all in the name of existing.
However, this is not important. Rather, it is what you make of this suffering that matters. You can continue to lament in the hole of your mind, forever blaming the world for the wrongs done to you. Or, you can act as a guiding hand, leading those who are weak and despondent into a new world, a new life, a new hope."
-- The Seer, Guiding Hand to All
Depending on which clan you speak to, the Bugkin can have very different descriptions of attitude and design. While the Moth clan are very amicable and friendly, the Mantises are more attuned towards war and violence. However, one thing all Bugkin have in common is the fact that they don't take kindly to threats towards those they hold dear in their hearts.
