Grimi

Classification: Part-beast

Class Preferance: Any. Grimis don't mind fighting with meele/range, or magic.

Weapons Preferance: Again, any.

Information: Grimis are graceful, partially beast (feline) creatures which can inhabit just about any climate. They prefer either mild climate with decidous forests, or warm and rainy climate of lush tropical jungles. They are friendly and tolerant with most races, and generally dislike war. Some get easily provoked, aspecially if you hurt them where it counts. (physically or emotionally.) They rely heavily on instincts, which often gets them into trouble, especially young children who are very curious and playful.
Grimis age about 10x slover than humans, and can live up to 1000 years of age, maybe longer.

Abilities: The Grimis are exceptional hunters, well known for their extreme agility and keen senses. Their advanced sense of sight, sound and smell can be equal to that of a beast. Each Grimi naturally posseses the power of shape-shifting - they may shift into a feline beast they resemble. Their second shapeshifting ability is a bit different however - they change this way when provoked, angered, or in extreme danger. Their eyes will gain a fierce glow, their talons grow greater, and they appear a bit taller and more menacing. They don't get this angry most of the time, but when they do, they'll go into a frenzy and attempt to kill everything, regardless if it's an ally or enemy. This state will leave them weakened severely however. The first shape-shifting ability depends on the Grimi's family line. If a Grimi has ancestors that shapeshift into a lion, it will most likely be a lion too. There are some exceptions.
Grimis can also fly - they have wings that fade. The wings seem to be made of pure energy, and appear to be insubstantial. Not all of them might be able to master this art of flying properly however. Only the ones who have a talent with magic become the greatest of flyers.

Appearance: Grimis look somewhat like humans, but have a more graceful, taller form. Their eyes are slitted, like those of a cat, and they have a furry tail, and furry feline-like ears instead of human ears. Their nails resemble talons - they're pointy and sharp.
Their hair colour varies and it can be any colour of human hair, but most have brown or black hair. There are some with silver hair, but that is quite rare.
Their eye colour can be just about any - varying from crystal blue to darkbrown. The colour brown and amber is the most common.

A bit of cultural info (Thought it would be interesting):

Grimis live in clustered villages and hamlets wherever there are good conditions for hunting and trade. Some do break away from the traditional lifestyle and adapt to life in larger cities.

Ritual of Choosing: This ritual is performed when a Grimi, regardless of his/hers gender reaches the age of seventy. [Remember, they age 10x slower than humans.] During this ritual, it is found out whether the child has a talent for arts, hunting, magic, etc. This helps the child decide which path they will take, or which talent will they train upon.

As a custom, every immediate family member of the child will dress in white to be recognized for special occasion. During this time, the family of the child will hold a feast and the whole village will assemble to celebrate.

Little extra information: A Grimi can strenghten its natural talent by wearing their birthstone around their neck. Sometimes, their eye color will match their birthstone.
