Biography
Kito was born and raised in his village in the dense forests/ hills of eastern Europe. He was given his mask, and it was learned that his animal was a member of the high species, a High Wolf to be exact. He was then prepared for his role in the village as a guard with the other High Wolves, which there was three. An old man, a young woman, and an older man, and now Kita. His parents raised him with the help of the other village members. He considered everyone in his village family, since they had a strong sense of community. He learned to fear humans and to kill them when he sees them, and how to fight and defend himself. When he was able to turn in to his animal that was when his training in combat and to protect his village began. He learned with the other High Wolves and learned what he need to do. He spent little time with his family and friends now, which, although saddened him knew it was to protect them. He took his training seriously and learned the ways of his animal form. Once his training was complete, which took five years, he started to patrol the forests like the others to make sure no human reached their tribe. He and the others continued their roles, respecting the spirits and honoring their commands. However, one day the sky seemed to erupt with smoke, a fire had been started, this caused the Guards to flee to their village, and wait out the fire. When it was put out by the rain, the humans came, only a small group of explorers. Kita and his pack killed the ones that saw them and chased off the ones that didn’t. However, weeks later more came, and were prepared for a fight. All the guards got together to hold them off but their guns and other machines and numbers overpowered the group and this caused them to retreat. He never saw such weapons that could spew out fire and metal. Kito and the others rallied the village’s able fighters to fight and the others to flee to the sacred pool. However, during the attack many were injured. As the village elder gave the order to retreat, and those in the pool fled to a secret tunnel. Kito stayed behind to hold the humans off while the others escaped thus causing him to become severely injured. Kito was severely injured as he was chased to the Sacred grove collapsing for the pool in his animal form. He prayed for a way out, for a way to be safe as he dragged himself in to the healing water to help his wounds. The pool glowed and turned in to what appeared to be a portal and he fell in and reappeared in TGS London.

Aevum Species
Aveum’s are beings that wear masks and through these masks are able to shapeshift in to animals. As soon as the mask is put on they can never take it off, since it is made from their soul and becomes their human form’s face. The mask looks similar or has characteristics off the animal they can change in to. No two masks are ever the same in appearance, they can share the same animal. Their animal forms can vary from their parents, right after a member of this race is born they are taken to the sacred grove. They are presented before the Flower of Vitae, which is in their religion a gift left behind by the spirit of the beasts to her people. The child is placed in front of the flower, and then vines sprout around the child wrapping around the baby, cocooning it. Their soul flower than blooms from it and the fines take it to the Flower of Vitae, which than consumes it and creates the mask giving them their ability. The mask is than placed on the baby and the parents are than presented their baby by the shaman who takes the babies to the Sacred Grove. There are Flowers of Vitae wherever Aevum’s are.

If a Aevum’s mask is cracked they are severely weakened and can no longer use their shapeshifting ability. It takes a lot of force to crack a Aevum’s mask, since it is their soul and spirit and is protected also by Vitae’s blessing, a symbol on the mask to help protect her people. But it can be done, and if the mask is broken the Aevum instantly dies. Their soul being broken and they never finding peace, they turned in to demonic monsters in till their mask is restored. Only then, can they find peace. In animal form their masks are set on to their forehead or face depending on the animal, and they also have their human hairstyles in animal form. The mask goes with them, usually as a child it is far too big for them, and they usually are unable to change in to their animal in till they are around age nine, which is the average age for most. Any injuries they gain in either form is kept if they change from human to animal or animal to human. They can change in to species that are now extinct, but the only ones that they can change in to are the High species. The high species were animals that were double to even triple the size of the current size.

They are a well-connected people, living in tribes/ clans they help each other and live in villages. Each doing a job to help the whole. They also live in places practically impossible to reach by humans, such as dense dangerous forests, high up in the mountains, and any other place they can find that’s safe. There is a village guard in every settlement that goes out and makes sure no humans get close to the village if they do, they are to be chased off or killed. Since humans usually enslave these people to study them, use them as treasures, arena fights, slaves, servants, and more. They also kill them to sell their masks for a small fortune. So, they live in hiding/ fear, hearing tales of what happened to those that had been captured over the years. So, they are cautious and careful, and also technology wise are still using old world technology. They don’t understand modern/ new world technology. They also live in harsh climates as well to avoid humans, that no human would dare live. The clothing they wear depends on where they live and the weather there. They also are very respectful of life, and usually do a prayer before killing something, to thank it for its sacrifice and that may it go to the Sacer Pratus. They make sure the death is quick as to end their suffering at the end of the hunt. They also host celebrations on certain days to honor the spirits.
