Lunatine
(Loo-NAH-teen)
Background: Lunatine are ancient creatures. Descended from immortal blood, Lunatine can live for many centuries. Due to their long life spans, a leader would tend to be in power for a very long time, and would grow very selfish. Eventually, a war broke out among the species, a sort of power struggle. No one was trusted, family turned against one another, and their numbers soon dwindled down to less than a hundred. After centuries of struggling to keep the species alive, they few that were left developed clans. These clans were safe places. They helped one another out, and soon the population grew once again. The clans developed complex ranking systems, using a monarchy for their government so only those born with it would be put in power to prevent war over the throne.
Description: Lunatine are large, feline-like creatures. Their long pointed ears and long, rounded tails are their main characteristics. Their coats are fairly realistic, containing hues of brown, grey, black, and auburn. Males are usually larger than females, and are definitely more territorial and aggressive unless a female is raising young. Older males and females are normally highly respected, and can be picked out among the rest of their clan by wearing feathers tucked in behind their ear or in their mane.
Extra: Lunatine are an open species, and I will be making a group in FeralHeart for them. If you make a Lunatine character, take pictures and show me! I'd love to see what you guys come up with.
