The Kineara are a race of creatures who are one with nature. The Kineara are born with the ability to transform into one certain creature, be it fox, phoenix, snake, etc. The creatures they may turn into are not limited to ordinary creatures, they may also change into "Mythical" creatures as well. They stay close to each other, and very rarely will you find a loner of the Kineara race, as they prefer to be around those of their kind.
There are four main clans of Kineara; The Air Kin, The Water Kin, The Warm Kin, and The Cold Kin.
The Air Kin consists of all Kineara with the ability to change into a flying creature.
The Water Kin consists of all Kineara with the ability to change into an creature that lives in the water.
The Warm Kin consists of all Kineara with the ability to change into a warm-blooded land-based creature.
The Cold Kin consists of all Kineara with the ability to change into a cold-blooded land-based creature.
The Kin can come with all kinds of personalities, much like humans, but generally they are very protective of their fellow clan members. While the clans most often get along, they do have their differences, and have been known to fight, but never for long and they always form a peace between each other.
Should any of the clans be threatened by any race besides their own, then all clans will come to their aid, such is the nature of the Kin. The Kin prefer to stick within their race, and do not often associate with those from a different race, though that does not mean that they wont.
The Kin live abnormally long lives, much longer than the lives of humans. To the Kin, one human year was like a little more than one month to them, and thus, they live about 10 times longer than humans. Although they live this long, they rarely show signs of aging, as they've the innate ability to stop aging and start aging as they please. Vanity causes many to stop aging once they feel they are the most beautiful. Because of this, although their body and mind ages, their physical appearance stays the same.
