Why weren't there any black people in the Island Nations? Hell, Kika and Snowe were about the palest people I've ever seen. No way they lived their whole life, and their family for generations on those tropical islands.
I spose Lino En Kuldes was tan...still go to tropical islands like Haiti or Jamaica, you'll find black people, trust me. |

Vector ever write something about racial diversity at Suikoden World. Read here: http://www.suikox.com/ed/race40318.php
By the way, I live in Indonesia which is more or less is like Island Nations. People who has caucosian descent tend to have lighter skin than those who are not. But it will be varied with how much they are exposed with the sun.
I think it's more like the creator 'ignorance' with ethnic diversity also the skin color at the hot area. |

Grr, all those who dare define us as 'TIN' are enemies of the INF, prepare theyself for our fighting fishies o doom are now equipped with fishing rods for added thwappage!
But the INF would be more like Indonesia since it is a chain of islands housing representative states much like Indonesia is a chain of island housing different countries. Cuba would be more like Kanakan in that its really only 1 island, dismissing all current geographic locations of the 2. _________________

Hauser is a token black guy, there is no lineage to suggest where he came from or whether there is a black nation. Bob is from the werewolf village in grassland which was destroyed. He's the last of his kind we are told and his skin colour is more like the Karayans anyway. Would you consider the Karayans to be black people? Wyatt/Jimba seems to have darkened like the Karayans from exposure alone, Chris is pale white and his descendant. _________________

I wouldn't call the Karayans black people, if you ask me. I'd just consider them as "tanned." They look far from black, but their skin color must be due to their overexposure to the sun. I mean, they are on the Grassland afterall, and it's quite sunny in there. |

Karayans are not black at all! If we're looking for an real-life equivalent, maybe people from Latin America, such as Brazil would be more appropriate. Their skin colour is definately classed as "tanned." |

Since when has Bob been considered black? I always thought of him as tanned with dreadlocks. Huh.
I agree that Karayan people have the skin tone of Latinos. Actually, they remind me of Native Americans. Not exactly with the facial features or eye colors, but the skin color is very similar.
Aside from Samus and Hauser, there are no other black people in Suikoden thus far. Perhaps in future games there will be more. _________________ ard says:

What if we just said that kobolds are black under their fur, would that work? _________________
