Additional Racial Powers: (Explain what extra Racial powers the race grants the user and any that they may lose.)

• Crystal spirit gem - These people at birth are born with blank stones (Know has Crystal spirit gems) as they grow these stones obtain some sort of animal power which reflects on their traits and some on their love of a certain animal. Beings that are creates through science are created with a full stone containing power of an animal and humans with strong love of animals could create a stone with animal powers
  
  These stones may gain a type of "heart" which may guide the user but every stone is different and may not always obtain a heart. These hearts don’t change the true power of the stone and may guide one to obtaining more power. Some stones may gain a type of “negative-heart” a feeling that tries to stop the user from obtaining more power. Constant usage of these stone may lead to stronger urges of wanting to use its power and the power may consume a user so those who have these stone must have a strong will to resist the temptation of the stone's power.
  
  These stones are commonly merged on the body somewhere and appear to look like gems. There are rare instances people born with this power create an external stone not attached to their body while science created ones will almost always have an external stone. Most powers come from the gem which in turn relate to the animal spirit. New powers can always be learned and after reaching a certain level a secondary animal spirit can be combined with the first one. To create a wider range of options for new moves. These stones may also evolve over time and an animal spirit could change (Like a cat to a tiger or piranha into a shark).
  
  Powers can be shared with other crystal spirit gems (Merge gems) temporary by having the gems swap with others. This gives access to the others powers while still maintain use of your own powers. Not all powers can be shared as some can only be used by the original owner but other moves can be used freely. Some moves can behave differently when shared or differ completely. Stones can only be removed by the one they are currently attached to and can only be limited to one other stone.
  
  Those with external stones may share their powers but they may not be able to receive powers from others stone and have no use of their power if they do not have their stone. Those with external stones are able spilt their stone to share their power but external stone powers weaken for the original user but these powers have increases strength if merged with another external stone. This may give an increase in the power of that external stone but the power is only temporary as the use of their power will cause the shard to literally burn away. In addition an External stone can be broken down into 8 fragments. These gems can be broken into six 1/8 pieces with the center being 2/8. If the main stone of the user is smaller than 2/8s then it’s considered destroyed.
  
  External stone users also have higher chance of obtaining a rare animal then merged users. If a Merge stone is destroyed powers can still be used but they are greatly weakened but external stone users lose all powers. Stones may take a few days to recreate but are recreated with 100% efficiently as before.
  
  
• Natural Element (Merge Users only) – The main energy created from ones own Crystal Spirit gem. The element in general is always related to the user’s animal powers. The elements can be related to a part of the animal. The elements aren’t dependent solely upon the animal, as the animals environment effects the element also. Like how birds can fly as such the majority would be related to the element of wind or since a scorpion lives in the desert they may have fire. Through use of this element creates abilities that are related to Kidō but yet more like Chi user but nowhere as effective as External Users. The user doesn’t gain control of the element but more it influences their attacks but augmenting its combat element. The majority of this power is to increase the user’s natural physical abilities.
  
  
• Element Control (External Users only) - External stone users may gain control over different elements outside their animal power but should be related in a way, shape or form. Those with this power are much more similar to Kidō or demon spells then their merger brothers, and their abilities don’t have to be related to their animal spirit. They are limited to one elemental power that they start out with their stone's creation among their animal. Those who have great power and control over their element can obtain parts of Natural element from Merge user, temporary of course..
  
  
• Spirit Cloak – A rare abilities that anyone can perform is given enough training. The full power of Guardian beast depends on the fact a user had a Merge or external stone. Once a certain level of control is achieved such as Rising Beast the user can begin to train Guardian Beast. Those with Merged gems experience more of a cloak of energy given shape, when compared with a fully walking animal version for external users.
  
  Merger users Guardian beasts start out rather weak. They take on the color of the user’s Gem and take on three forms. Starter which is merely a cloak of colored energy given animal like shape. This form is the weakest but even it can act as a weak armor of sorts.
  
  
• Animal Communication – This grants a Spirit Walker the ability to Communicate with animals to learn different things. At the low tiers a Spirit Walker can only communicate with animals of their Animal spirit. As a Spirit Walker gains more power they can experience the ability to talk to more animal of similar families. At the more powerful tiers, A Spirit Walker can almost freely talk to anime animal regardless of specie.
  
  
• Animal Mimicry – It has been record that throughout the use of their Crystal spirit gem that Spirit Walkers can in fact mimic the natural abilities of animals. This can grant the user temporary, physical additions for a short boost of time, usually just a post or two. These abilities are physically weaker the using Synchronization but can be used without negative aftereffects. The down side of Animal Mimicry is that the spirit Walker must have seen and spoken to that animal before to gain its properties.
  
  

Additional Racial Forms: Synchronize - The Spirit Walkers main source of power. The ability to take on the raw abilities of their Crystal Soul gem and become more like the animal in the gem. Spirit Walkers maximum powers are usually sealed in order to prevent becoming consumed over their own power. These forms can be used early but may result in being consumed by the anger of their animal and problems with determining who is friend or foe

• Rising Beast – During this initial stage of release no major physical changes happen. The initial changes are manly located in the brain and thought process. The person takes on the emotions and usually the predatorily instinct of the animal their Crystal Spirit gem. If the animal of the gem isn’t a predator then the user receives an increase to their self-defence drive to an almost instinct like level to protect themselves and their family. When activated the user received power boosts like that of shikai of augmentation to their physical capabilities. Also abilities that are released in this form are just a tad under the strength of a shikai. This form usually at lower tier is quite unstable and the user may experience student loss of power or the will to become more feral.
  
  
• Awaken Beast - The true or rather mature form of any Spirit Walker’s power. The form itself varies between the user but what is clear is that this form is equal to Bankai or Resurrection.
  
• Spirit Beast – Perhaps the completed version of a Spirit Walker or just a mishap that happened? It seems the Awaken Beasts isn’t the true power of the Spirit Walker.
  

Race History: (4 paragraphs minimum. Explain in detail the history of the race to the present day.)

Why Should we add/play this race?: the main reason to add this race is the fact that I’ve read that no other races use animals as an ability. Also this gives more options to have a Human character which loves animal or even hates them. It’s in my belief that we should have a playable race that has powers based on natural living creatures.
