Tokays are a frequent sight in the Reptile Kingdom. A relative to the Maid Gecko, Tokays share the sticky pads on their fingers and toes, their soft, sensitive skin, and their smaller size in comparison to other lizardmen. However they are easily distinguishable from their housekeeping cousins by their slimmer bodies and brightly colored scales, usually a greyish blue with bright orange spots, though many other color morphs exist.

Like the Maid Gecko, Tokays are not warriors, however unlike their cousins, Tokays have not taken a subservient role amd still claim power for themselves, however instead of claiming power through combative prowess, they instead seek power through monetary wealth and legal manipulations. Tokays make up the majority of merchants, bankers, and lawyers within the Reptile Kingdom and through the years they have seized a great deal of power in the nations economy and have formed the strongest merchants guild in the Kingdom. Because of this even the mightiest of dragons and warrior mamono fear how an angry Tokay can make life difficult and the Tokay has become a symbol for the might of the pen overcoming the might of the sword. Despite this however they are quite cowardly when faced with physical violence. When in a physical confrontation they will quickly flee often to a high place where the threat can't reach them.

While all Tokays make legitimate business dealings, many find it amusing to swindle and con an unsuspecting customers. Often misleading customers as or leaving out details as to what an item does. "Heated" weapons that makes the victim go into heat instead of burning them, monsterizing items marked as health and beauty goods, Indestructible armor that falls apart as soon as it contacts demonic energy, clothing and armor that while perfectly reasonable when unused, morphs into lewd costumes when put on and jewelry enchanted with sexual aid magic marked as unenchanted goods are all common prank items that they'll sell. They are also notoriously silver tongued and can lure unsuspecting customers into overspending and accepting overcharged items, sometimes tricking them into spending their entire savings in one ill-advised shopping spree.

Among their most notable features is a verbal tick they've developed. When attempting to get someone's attention they almost always do so with a loud cry sounding as if they are yelling "TOKAY! TOKAY!" Their speech is also littered with the word, often beginning or ending their sentences or statements with it without even realizing it. Often market places are filled with a cacophony of Tokays using their trademark (literally trademarked, people who are not members of their species are permitted to use the word in such a way that they profit from it) cry to draw attention before throwing their sales pitch. This verbal tick is also one of their greatest weaknesses. When attempting to con someone, Tokays tend to choose their words more carefully, while they can do this quickly, they neglect to say "tokay" they do this thus an individual who knows this can easily call them out on it.

Tokays have a fierce rivalry with Gyoubu Danuki. The two races maintain a facade of cooperation to maintain trade between the Reptile Kingdom and the rest of the world, however this is done begrudgingly at best and the two races are constantly attempting to out wit and out sell the other in bids for territory and economic power. Tokays have even stolen the methods of how to use the spell of anthropomorphis from the Danuki in order to further expand their market, a fact which angers the Danuki to no end.

Like Danukis, Tokays usually aquire a husband via business maneuvers, often trying find male merchants and buying out their business or by putting a man so far in debt to them that the only way out is to marriage. In addition to this, Tokays often have other mamono indebted to them who they will send after any man who attempts to escape them. Once a Tokay her man she will immediately drag him off to mate with him and claim as her own, clinging to to him and holding as close as possible.

While their methods of driving their future husbands to financial ruin may seem atrocious, the Tokays are not entirely self serving when doing this. The debt the man is in is almost always directed to her, even if he were to go to a different money lender, she would quickly buy out the loan so that the money is owed to her. In the end, the debt is forgiven upon marriage and any man who marries one will soon find himself growing far more wealthy. Tokays are invariably skilled in the arts of making money and often take control of the economic aspects of their husbands life, using their skills to cause their husbands business ventures to flourish and help him make wise decisions with money. In fact Tokays have a strong tendency to target men who own failing businesses and men who are terrible at taking care of their finances specifically so they can take care of these men. In this way they actually show a great deal of kindness.

Like other Gecko type lizardmen, Tokays have very soft, sensitive skin that reacts to a mans spirit energy by becoming even softer. They take a great deal of pleasure from their husbands touch regardless of where he touches her. However being touched by other men is extremely irritating to them and they refuse to do so beyond what is required to do their business or at most, a short, chaste hug from a close friend. Anymore than this tends to make them very angry and they will quickly chomp down on the offenders hand before running off to the safty of her husbands embrace and any man who continuously annoys them like this may soon find himself going bankrupt

Tokays frequently make business deals with other mamono for  in forming businesses be the business forming a shop to sell a craftsman mamonos goods, setting mercenary work for warrior mamono, or schools and libraries for scholarly mamono and like most mamono of the Reptile Kingdom, Tokays have no problems in sharing a husband, thus a man who marries a Tokay may quickly find himself married to her business partners as well. Also when speaking to other mamono about their husband they tend to talk about him as if they were making a sales pitch, spending a great deal of time playing up his positive aspects while downplaying his failings, often causing the other mamono to become quite interested in him.

It should be noted that Tokays will often come into conflict with any dragon that they share a husband with. This is due to a difference in how they view money. Dragons wishing to save it all in a large hoard while Tokays will want to invest money in order to increase profits. While it almost never comes to physical violence, it frequently causes arguments between them, especially when the Tokay helps herself to the dragons hoard in order to pay for a business venture.

[Was planning this one for a while now, here we have another lizardman who chooses a path other than the way of the sword, however depending on how look at it, the Tokay may just be more dangerous. Don't fuck with the one who controls the money, for they can make your life hell.
