[size=85]Rukami (Gulo Stantes) are a newly discovered species of bipedal mammals. Though they resemble wolves, they are actually more closely related to the mustelid family, which includes wolverines, otters, and badgers to name a few. Through natural selection, these rare animals evolved to incredible sizes and developed sentient brains along with opposable thumbs.

Story: Lost was I. Very Lost. The trees were dark and old, battered. Damage had been caused to the ground, dark and warm. I remembered my face hurt. It hurt so much. Mummy wasnt there to stop the pain. Daddy wasnt there to protect me from it.
I had wandered, tears soaking my pelt as I went further before I must've fainted. Remembering the events of what had caused the pain to my face.
Chaos. I remember chaos. My family running and shouting to one another, "Grab supples!"
"Grab the children."
I remember the confusion as I watched, my family grabbed food and equipment but no one grabbed me. We started running and smoke coming over our home and orange flicking lights coming slowly towards us. I ran.
The fear was too much as I ran, losing those that I cared about as I went. No one was there, I couldn't smell anyone over the smoke. I remembered turning back towards the moving light which had caused my family to leave. I could hear others on the other side of the orange wall. I took the risk. I ran. I jumped. I burnt. M
My fur was singed and I cough as I lay in the crispy grass. Then the psin hit, causing cries of my pain, years stinging the damaged skin.
I was lost and I still am all this time later, hoping Ill find someone despite my damage behind this mask. This mask protect those from me and me from myself. It covers the side of me which was hurt and distraught due to the events.
I just needed my family.
