Mokari

The Mokari used to be the only human ethnic group, now they are but a tiny sliver of humankind. While most human groups are relatively similar in capability, the Mokari are universally tougher than other humans. Perhaps this is due to divine favor, maybe their lifestyle has left them stronger, or maybe their ancestral roots to the goddess Jafeera leaves the heartier than most. Whatever the case, on average they can take more punishment that your average human.
