History:
The Beginning:
A Kirin named Ruehten befalls a tragedy in which the land he was protecting was cursed by an evil wizard, he along with it. In his dying state, he stumbled into a forest which her mother - a Leshen named Kyrelia - was guarding, and she encountered him. The Kirin cried for her to run away, for his curse was a sort of magical parasite. When it consumes its host, the host becomes the parasite and seeks a new host. However, instead of leaving the poor creature to its fate, she gives him a counter offer. Her talent lets her create familiars, as well as the ability to transport souls. So with his permission, she transfers his soul into herself, until she can make him a unique familiar that won't die.

Sharing a body together, they went on travels in search of a suitable material to make his familiar out of. As they did so, the two fell in love, and one day, married. Eventually they came to realize they couldn't have a child if he was in a familiar. So instead, her mother plucked a sprout from her body, and the father infused a piece of his soul into the sprout. The mother planted the sprout, and tended to it over the next few weeks. That sprout grew into the creature which was named Anarra. She was neither Kirin, nor Leshen, and had qualities of both. The body of a Kirin, made of wood and vines, and a Leshen head, the skull of an elk, with holy fire adorning her antlers and mane.

Present:
Due to being grown from the forest, Anarra is attuned to nature and animals. She understands them and is more friendly towards them than she is towards humans. She felt it was her duty to protect the forest she was born in. Years passed, and both her parents passed away. This left her alone to guard and protect the land she called home. People were buried there, from rich nobles to poor citizens. It was her duty to protect them from grave robbers and from people who would rather chop down the forest and build houses on the land. She did her job for almost 400 years, protecting her home and the inhabitants that resided there. But it wasn't until she met an Atronach named Oras that she decided to leave the forest, to explore the outside world.

Taking Oras' advice, she spoke to the rest of the animals and magical creatures living in the forest. They would watch the forest and protect it themselves, while she explored and learned about the world. Now she is wanting to learn, and hearing about Eldritch Academy, she thought it would be a good place to start, and is starting at the 9th grade so she can get as much higher learning as she can out of it.



Name of Species: Kirin/Leshen Half-Breed

Baseline Dimension:
Kirin: Naturally they are 40 ft : 12 m tall at their shoulders, with a small and nimble frame each Kirin's antlers vary in size.

Leshen: A fully grown Leshen can stand at up to seven or eight foot in height, they can weigh up to 250lbs. Some Leshen are capable of taking on human disguises, however this requires a lot of magical energy to maintain. There are no specifications to their human forms as they will usual take of a human form they have seen themselves.


Baseline Appearance:
Kirin: The kirin is a chimerical beast resembling a deer with scales like a dragon’s covering its body. It has a tail like an ox’s and a flowing mane. Its body and mane are covered in brilliant holy fire, over times these features may have changed, as generations differ slightly.

Leshen: A Leshen has the general outline of a human in stance but that is the only similarity, their bodies are made of earthly materials as their heads resemble the skull of a forest creature i.e deer, ram, goat etc.


Culture/Origin of Species:
Kirin: A highly rare creature known only to be born in Hisakawa due to the natural energy and purity in the lands Kirin are powerful unicorn like creatures. Regal animal, holy and highly revered, and often considered a god in its own right. Traditionally and instinctively the kirin never eats the flesh of other beings, they take care never to tread or harm any other living thing no matter how small. When it walks, it does so without trampling a single blade of grass. Its beauty is only surpassed by its rarity; kirin only appear during periods of world peace, during the reigns of noble and enlightened rulers, in lands owned by wise and benevolent people, or as heralds of a golden age. Kirin never harm good and pure souls, but they are swift and fierce to attack if threatened, breathing holy fire from their mouths. Because kirin are beasts of purity and goodness, they have been used in carvings and paintings as symbols of these virtues since early times. They are also seen as symbols of justice and wisdom. Because of their holiness, images of kirin frequently adorn temples and shrines. They are omens of great luck and fortune, and the appearance of a kirin is often believed to be a sign of the arrival of a great leader or a wise man.

Leshen: Creatures as old as time itself, they are born from the forest to serve as it's guardian and protectors, believe by some to be gods. They are wielders of ancient magic and can be very dangerous if crossed.
Over many centuries, Leshens have observed and witnessed the modernization of the human world, and with it many fell victim to it's technological advances. The act of deforestation left many Leshens homeless and even resulted in the death of some of their species. As a result the Leshens were infuriated with the humans, some even sort to fight them, resulting in a war of sorts between the species. However eventually the Leshen found this was only doing more damage to their motherland, resulting in devastated landscapes and forest fires. As a result, a peace treaty was formed between the species and now there are specific regions of forest that are covered by the Leshen Habitation Protection Treaty. Thus prohibiting humans from using them as resources or building on these areas of land. Over time, peace has become commonplace between the two species and the war long forgotten. Some Leshen have even integrated fully into Human Society and coexist with them.


Traits:
Kirin:
• Kirins are flexible creatures, due to this they are known to be able not just to shapeshift into human forms, but to sometimes take traits across from one form to another, such as their antlers, scales, claws or teeth. They can control their size, changing from their natural size (normally 40 ft) down to 4 ft, this flexibility and ability to adapt has left the Kirins with an extra 3 aspect points in speed.

• The holy fire which naturally covers a Kirins body does not hold enormous power, however is has the ability to gently heal or damage those that the Kirin deems to be a target, the fire purifies all that it touches.

• Within 5 to 10 ft of a Kirin life grows stronger, plants bloom with brighter colours and living creatures feel stronger and more youthful. This trait grows stronger as the Kirin matures.

Leshen:
• Able to manipulate natural and earth based elements : Rock, Soil, Sand, Water and bend them to their will.

• They can communicate with woodland creatures, this is through the universal language and understanding. Leshen can sense their thoughts, desires and emotions.


Flaws:
Kirin:
• They are easily influenced by the malady, meaning that kirin tend to get sick easily if they are in an area that is corrupt.

Leshen:
• Weak to Frost, this element is naturally harmful to a Leshin due to its body being made of earthen materials, causing the plant based minerals inside them to wither and die.
