Hell Kage

Evidence of evil in all generations, brought back to haunt us.

These beasts are rumored to contain the souls of demons that were summoned by the darkest rituals, though with all rumors it has not been proven. All that's known is that they generally exhibit the worst traits-- rage, hatred, and a deep thirst for blood and ripping the life energy from warm flesh. Hell Kage can be rude, evil, ruthless, cunning and malicious, but they can also be very passionate.

The Hell Kage have powerful bodies, fraught with sinewy muscle and thick bones. They are physical creatures, loving the feel of dried blood in their fur and flesh against flesh, claws and horns against skin. They are talented in close combat and could tear a human to shreds in moments if they deemed it worthy of their time. Gifted Hell Kage may breathe fire, though it is a rare and dangerous ability for everyone involved.

Hell Kage are larger than the norm and have very little body fat. Despite this, they can brave the colder regions without so much as a shiver. It is rumored that they have fire in the pit of their hearts that keeps them warm and also drives them mad-- again, just rumors, as these Kage seem to be shrouded in them. Hell Kage can die earlier than most due to their instinctual urge to fight and lack of inhibitions telling them to flee a battle they may lose. They also have an insatiable hunger for life energy gotten via flesh, so it is possible to starve to death if they wander out too far from civilization.

Spiritual Kage

More than just a pillow.

Spirituals can seem aloof, cold and distant, or slightly holier-than-thou. They are the most accepted Kage in the land, probably due to their "cute" fluffy exterior. The few humans that do manage to garner their trust value them highly for their potential to glimpse the future.

Spiritual Kage all have a certain level of foresight, being able to sneak peaks into the future or read another Kage's soul. This is a common ability, although it can range in strength from weak to extremely strong (which is extremely rare). Some can even slip between the spirit world and this world, usually while sleeping. Unfortunately, it can be accompanied by intense nightmares, paranoia, migraines, and panic attacks in weaker Spirituals.

It is said that Spirituals have predicted many of Dragon's Maw's downfalls over the years, but the Red Kingdom would never take them seriously. With the newest era of enlightenment upon them, the most psychic of the Spirituals have found places of near-worship across the land.

Spiritual Kage are larger than most, due to their dense fur and extra layer of fat. They need the thicker coat in order to survive their instinctual trek to the northernmost lands, where the line between the spiritual world and Dragon's Maw is the thinnest-- during the yearly aurora borealis.

Cemetery Kage

A haunting reminder of the folly of playing God.

Though some Cemetery Kage may still have a little personality left in that mushy glop of brain of theirs, most of them can rarely communicate or give off emotions. There are deviations from the norm, but there's no telling whether they will be happy or vengeful or just plain slow-witted.

They don't have much strength in their old bones but their bodies do levitate with a bit of magical residue. They are extremely light and smaller than usual, with the loss of most muscle, fur, and skin. Due to their rotting and disfigured bodies, most people and other Kage will avoid Cemeteries like the plague-- though naive Kage may often attempt to befriend one regardless of its horrifying visage.

Cemetery Kage can neither fight nor flee, but have the awkward bonus of never being able to die unless chewed up, swallowed, burned into ashes, or chopped up into tiny pieces. It can be quite difficult to put out that final flame of life within them.

Golem Kage

Sturdy guardians birthed through accident.

Unlike most Kage, which are muscle and bone stitched up and fused with a foreign soul, Golem Kage are forged from magic and stone. They are generally stoic, brave, stubborn and thick-skulled and make wonderful guardians and bodyguards.

Golems are an odd breed in that they can deal major physical damage, possess rock-hard defense, and have the potential to be magical creatures due to their very core being pure energy. They can be very large or very small depending on the rocks used to create it, but in general they are larger than Neverlins.

These sentient boulders can live indefinitely until their life energy eventually wears out, though no one is able to guess how long it may take. They are, however, susceptible to cruel individuals who wish to tap into a Golem Kage and leech their life energy straight out, as it is very pure and easy to steal.
