Description
For the upcoming release of the Final Fantasy RPG 3rd Edition. Illustration for a playable race.

The Ronso are a tall, proud-looking race resembling humanoid lions; as magically active as they are physically impressive, their sharp claws and thick, muscular bodies give little doubt as to their prowess in battle. Males of the species are characterised by their flowing manes of hair and often-massive beards; females, though smaller and more compact, are no less aggressive than their male counterparts in battle, and shoulder a substantial share of the fighting and hunting. Males also possess a long horn which grows from their forehead; it is the Ronsos’ belief that this cherished symbol of manhood is the source of a warrior’s powers, and its loss is treated as seriously as that of an arm or leg. Dishonored warriors have their horns cut as a matter of custom, though only the most serious crimes provoke such an act. Unsurprisingly, such ritual ‘castration’ is frequently accompanied by exile.

Males and females both dress sparingly, mostly for the sake of modesty than anything else; jewelry, charms and bangles are a common part of a Ronso’s ensemble, some of which may even have occult significance. More superstitious warriors may augment these through the application of ‘magical’ oils on their bodies, believing these to be instrumental in protecting themselves from bodily injury.
