The country Asmana is said to be a cultural melting pot where many species of demihumans ("demis") can coexist, but there are tensions depending on type of animal. Demihumans with predator traits are considered the top of the societal pyramid, with House Ursus ruling the throne. Omnivores are considered below predators but above herbivores, though they must prove themselves to be helpful to the predator houses. Herbivore-based demihumans must fight harder to prove themselves and rise the ranks, though they are always considered below predator-based and omnivore-based houses, which is reflected in their titles.

Backstory

Ayani was born in the Kongo region of Africa into a respected family of okapi demihumans known for their trade connections and strong community ties. From a young age, Ayani stood out, not just for his impressive height and athletic build, but for his confidence, which often crossed into arrogance. Growing up, he was praised for his natural athleticism, especially in local sports, where his speed and endurance set him apart. However, the rigid societal structure in his homeland offered limited opportunities for a herbivore demihuman like him to rise to prominence. Seeking more, Ayani moved to Asmana in his mid-twenties, drawn by the promise of opportunity in Oresas, the cultural hub. Adjusting wasn’t easy—Asmana's social hierarchy favored predator demihumans, leaving Ayani to constantly prove his worth. His skill in football quickly became his ticket upward, catching the attention of scouts after dominating local matches. When Duke Hao-Yu extended an invitation to join the Asmana Dragons, Ayani accepted without hesitation, seeing it as a chance to solidify his place in a society that viewed him as lesser. Since joining the team, he’s relied on his pride and talent to carve out a spot, refusing to be overshadowed despite the constant underestimation he faces for being a herbivore demihuman.
