Ysoki dwell mainly on the planet Akiton. These diminutive rat-like humanoids have a cultural tendency toward caution, cunning, and resourcefulness. Many renowned tinkers and inventors have come from Akiton.
In terms of names, Ysoki have both forenames and surnames but often do not use either, preferring instead either a shortened, familiar version of one of their given names or a pithy nickname that sums up their personality.
