Physical Description

A Female Animajin unleashing it's power

With semblances of humanoid beings, but with pointed ears and in some cases tusks that protrude from their mouths, Animajins are very similar to humans, but what differentiates them from others is the presence of animal characteristics. Some Animajins have bear features, others a wolf, and some even a monkey (Like a Tail or Ears, Even having fur running their body)

Their bodies are naturally adapted to fight, because of this, their muscles are naturally defined, their hair is naturally colored, ranging from intense colors to soft pastel colors, but it is very common the presence of spiky hair and long (messy)

Society and History

Having arisen from several tribes from a small plane of existence, had their homeland destroyed by a tyrant who wanted all the power of a race for himself, many fled to other planes (mainly the material plane) it is very difficult to see an Animajin society, because the few survivors do not end up finding each other, and when they do, they tend to help each other as much as they can and usually they breed trying to recreate the Animajin race, and they are extremely proud of who they are, fighting thoses to dare defy them and especially when it comes to the family

But in the past, their society was extremely war-oriented, due to their natural ability to release Mantra, the Animajins were used in great battles for their powers.

however, those who were unable to fight (due to illness or injury) were put to work in society, cooking, cleaning, caring for the wounded and taking care of children.

Men and Women were chosen upon reaching adolescence, to undergo rigorous training where they would learn to control the energy they called Mantra (Ki to the monks). After achieving this, they would be brought back into Animajin society where they would choose whether to become warriors or something else.

due to the monarchist hierarchy their society had, a large part of the race turned warrior to try to raise their life in the Animajin land

having their race focused on fighting, there was little room for religion, but there is one legend that all surviving Animajin remember, the True Animajin Warrior

"Long ago, a group of Animajins corrupted by their evil mantra went into a rage and began to threaten their own race with unbridled destruction, after a Animajin with anger of the actions of fellow Animajins, his heart was full with rage and regret but with his pure intentions, at that moment, the sky break with thunders and the aura of that animajin startet to flow at maximum, his power awake at it's maximum, now he was the Animajin God, the True Warrior".
