Ursarians

Ursarians are a bear-like race of Pure in the Celesti universe. Ursarians are one of the lesser-seen races of Pure in the story, having nearly died out during the events of Celesti: Regression.

General Characteristics
Ursarians are defined by their enormous brute strength. Being partly bear-like, they have small ears and stubby tails, and their bodies tend to be incredibly broad. Ursarians have a slightly increased life-span, with the oldest recorded Ursarian having lived to 130 years old age. Ursarians tend to reside in the rocky mountains of Amarant, although they occasionally show up in other areas around Celesti. While they lack a specific country to call home, Ursarians are friends to all Pures, and are often seen as being good-natured, if a little slow.

Ursarians are unique in that they tend to have monosyllabic names and lack surnames. This is because Ursarians tend to live in family clans, and thus do not require surnames.

The exception to this are the Observers, panda-like Ursarians who existed 3,000 years before the events of Celesti: Regression and were responsible for creating rune wells. The Observers were an incredibly intellectual people who created great cities (now standing as ruins), and the mystery behind their disappearance has yet to be answered.

Notable Ursarians

 * Drace: Drace was one of the four leaders of Falchion's Wing during Celesti: The Successor and Marshall Brandt's right-hand man. Drace was seen as being a calculating and powerful opponent, and was particularly large, even by Ursarian standards. While serving as an antagonist in the story, it is hinted that prior to The Successor he was perhaps a nicer individual. He was killed by Rise Soldane in Rishona.
 * Crest: Crest was a mercenary working for Silveon and Francis' partner. The two spent the majority of Celesti: Blue Lights together working on missions. He was also a good friend to Quince Emeris and Tellah. He disliked Azen, although respected his combat prowess. While Blue Lights was never completed, in the canon it is believed that he was killed before the conclusion of the story.

Trivia

 * Ursarians have dominance over the Thunder Rune, with it being their natural element.
 * Ursarians are often believed to have the surname 'bear', as people often call the characters names such as 'Crest-bear'.
