Hongin

The Hongin, formally called Juhongin, are a group of people who make their living on the reddest island among the Great Eastern Archipelago, referred to as the Vermilion Isle. Renowned primarily for their warrior spirit and fighting prowess, the Hongin have largely kept to themselves in order to preserve tradition by shrouding themselves in the harsh and deadly climate of the Vermilion Isle to those uninitiated or unprepared.

The House of Yi ruled over the Hongin since their conception and are highly respected among nobility.

Characteristics
The Hongin are lean and easily distinguished by their dark almond-shaped eyes. Their hair is typically black, but shades of brown are also very common. Blonde and red hair cannot happen naturally with pure-blooded Hongin, and those who obtained blonde or red hair through artificial means are stereotyped as being defiant or rebellious.

Known for their tenacity as fighters, the Hongin are assertive with explosive personalities that truly mirror their adapted lives around a large volcano. However, they are also aloof and impulsive, prone to making mistakes that could trouble their peers, and do not associate themselves openly with foreigners.

Among the Hongin, it is also easy to tell royalty apart from everyone else due to their golden eyes.
