SPIRIT

Many moons ago the deities of every religion came together with an idea...a new hope. Distraught and dismayed about the ever changing ideals of society, the gods and goddesses dispersed a piece of their souls into the souls of few humans present and future. The two souls came together to form one so special that many call it "Therians". Everything about them is human except for the ability to physically transform into their deities' chosen Spirit for them . Spirits are considered to be the only remaining ties to the old gods and goddesses, guiding their human from the moment they are created.
Therians can draw on their Spirits's energy in times of trouble or need such as healing, strength or agility yet they can not truly shift until the age of 16, this causes most people not to know their true identity until they the shift happens .
Every Therians' Spirit is different, that is what makes them all unique and quite powerful. Historically, they have been known to aid in battles, heal plagues, and form our world into what we know it as today. Therians are considered to be mere myths to most, whereas some societies still honor them as the final relatives to the old deities. Therians are rare but powerful, and lately some nationwide governments are searching for any piece of evidence they can get their hands on. This has caused many to hide in fear of exploitation. To discover that one was favored is almost a death sentence to most, but to some its a chance at a new life.
