Sukeru Tribe



The Sukeru Tribe is an all-scale group that was founded by Tobalth Sukeru. Based in Speculum Canyon, they believe in scale superiority and have been looking to expand their ranks and start taking over other groups and territories.

Synonymy
The Sukeru's name comes from the Japanese word スケール (Sukēru), meaning "scale."

Location
The Sukeru reside in Speculum Canyon, located in the Jagged Mountains. The Speculum Canyon is their main territory and homeland, however there have been efforts to expand their borders further. They also have a portion of the Hot Springs, claimed by Yooki Sukeru. Other regions are yet to be claimed by them.

Current Culture
Most individuals of the Sukeru tend to be guided by the teachings and legacy of Tobalth, whom they revere as their founder and guiding spirit. They are a proud, aggressive group of scales who believe that they are the ultimate of the three species of Vive.

All members of the Sukeru Tribe are required to carry "Sukeru" as their surname.

It is expected for all Sukeru to be loyal and stay in the tribe, especially those who were born in it. Originally, if members were to leave the group they would be wounded or killed, while offspring who do the same were to be kept prisoner and brainwashed. It is unknown whether this practice is still applicable.

Ranks
The Sukeru Tribe did not have an official ranking system under Tobalth or Edge's leadership. Sometime during the Triplet's Reign, Ice proposed new tribe rankings and wanted there to be only one leader to ensure tribe loyalties are not divided. Ice's hierarchy is as follows:

Leader
The leader of the Sukerus. They are required to have the blood of Edge in their veins. They make all the decisions, and their first-hatched will be their successor.

Heir
The next leader of the Sukerus. The eldest surviving hatchling of the current leader. They must learn with utmost care how to properly lead the Tribe.

Generals
There are four of these; trusted Scales that back up the Leader and Heir, and are tasked with protecting the Tribe from danger and bad influence. They lead expeditions, organize territory patrols, and take control when the Leader is for any reason unavailable.

Full Sukerus
Scales that have been fully accepted into the Tribe, and have pitted their loyalty to the Leader, Heir and Generals. They go on patrols, find food, and represent the Sukerus when they meet another Vivian. They are to make up the bulk of the Tribe one day.

Trainees
Young Sukerus and newcomers. They have not yet learned the ways of the Sukerus in full, and thus are not full Tribe members.
