Following from the previous image and also inspired by  Chu's webcomic Slightly Damned, here's another Jakkai from Nirveus.

This is Seamus Sparkeye, the leader of a team of hunters. He was the one who raised the Nirvenese Mountain Dog that Nameless now looks after. He's known to be quite spirited when it comes to hunting. He utilizes many weapons in his line of work, such as the bow and arrow, the axe, the spear, and can even use a rope javelin for those opportune moments when he sees a fish in the river. In fact, he's very good at throwing things like knives and hatchets -- and you can't beat him in a game of darts. But his go-to weapons are his pair of hunting knives, which are always on hand.

Unsurprisingly, he's been hunting for many years. He's good at finding his prey, and he can skillfully strike them down undetected. The climbing tailpin he has attacked to his tail has often been used to provide a good high vantage point for striking unsuspecting critters. He'll jab the pin into a tree or cliffside and hang upside-down waiting for his quarry to get in range before making his move. It's certainly a neat tactic for archery, and if things don't go well he's at least as so high a spot that his prey can't chase after him.

But he really likes to take risks. He may opt to fall from the high distance and strike his prey in-person. It's usually in the interest of satisfying his hunger for action, a good dose of adrenaline to keep him feeling young and spry. Of course, he's gotten many scars from such reckless behavior, but it's never deterred him from jumping back into the fray.

Oh, and maybe don't try to pick a fight with him. He's taken out wolves and bears without fear, so he's certainly not afraid to get a fellow Jakkai's nose bloody.
