A race that is sometime mistaken for Redtails, Kasurin are foxes with multiple tails (between 2 and 13) that can transform themselves into any form they wish down to the last detail and are incapable of dying of old age. The drawback is that, as they "borrow" the faces of others, they must always keep a mask with a stylized version of their face somewhere on their body (though it can be concealed in fur/under clothes, it must always be somewhere on them). They can also only replicate what they can see or are shown and can't deviate from what they're shown, though they can alter it depending on if what they're shown was changed (if they're copying a girl and told she cut her hair, they can immediately "cut" their hair to match, for instance, but they can't make themselves taller or bigger than what they know). The only except to this is gender: a Kasurin only needs to know the gender of who they're copying in order to be able to replicate sexual organs, rather than having to see it themselves. Very young Kasurin will always have the mask on their face until they learn their powers a bit better. Kasurin can also manifest their ears/tail at will in any form.
For the purposes of interacting with other races, Kasurin will often seek out newly deceased and "imprint" an appearance as their "humanoid" one to use regularly when interacting with people. This imprinted appearance becomes one they can transform into at any time and can stay in for as long as they need; as well, this imprinted appearance does not come with a mask on their person. Furthermore, the imprinted appearance can be altered in mild ways as much as they please (hair length, streaks in hair, color of the eyes, tweaks to the body's build, etc.), and many Kasurin do as many alters as they can in order to "hide" themselves better. The imprinted form's gender will always match the Kasurin's real gender, even if it has to change to do so (for instance, a female Kasurin imprinting an appearance from a male will still be female in all forms and ways when changed). Imprinting is somewhat of a horrific process, requiring a Kasurin to devour the very soul of the person they're attempting to imprint to themselves; this is why Kasurin usually seek out newly dead. In addition, Kasurin can only have a single imprinted appearance at any time: to get another, they must discard the one they already have through a painful process of regurgitating tissue and blood for a couple of hours.
Kasurin have no patron god, because the race as a whole are cursed and all gods reject them for it. Instead, they have a demon that comes for every one of them when they die. Long ago, the first large family of the Kasurin captured the first real family of a race only known as the "Yseral." The Yseral, who were supposedly a race of spider-like creatures, ended up tormented and tortured by the Kasurin's family, until they were killed off one by one. The last remaining of that family, Yseral (who lent her name to the race), absorbed the souls of her fallen family and became a demon, attacking and devouring almost all of the Kasurin. She left only the children and infants alone, but cast a powerful curse on them to cause them to suffer for all time: if they didn't completely devour the body of a sentient creature, either another race or their own race, at least once a year, then come their birthday past the one-year mark, Yseral would come and devour them. In addition, any death would deliver their soul to her regardless of what they had done so that they could be tortured eternally.
All Kasurin believe there's some way to break the curse, but as of yet, there hasn't been a single lead to it. The only clue they have were Yseral's last words: "Can you feel our pain, our sorrow? Even if you were to die... you cannot break our hatred."
Character creation wise, a Kasurin's real form must be based off a real fox, but the fur patterns/colors can be swapped around as the player pleases (a fennec fox body style with a red fox fur appearance, for instance) and the size itself can vary between a small dog and a large dragon (though the latter is very rare and only for very powerful Kasurin). Their imprinted form must match the rules of the race the form is taken from, with exceptions to account for alterations.
