The Curse of the Beastkin

The Beastkin is a chimera-like being, typically non-sentient and of grotesque form. They are oft feared by Man and beast alike, and their silhouette is easily discernible from any natural creature.
Although Beastkin are generally monstrous in nature, a rare few retain their sentience. These few are forlorn; they wander the overgrown paths of the world with little companionship and the knowledge that they can never truly reintegrate into human society.

Some view this affliction as blessing rather than curse. There are those who pursue this chimera-like state for a variety reasons, one of which is rumored popular among the occult breed. These individuals seek to paint themselves in the image of their God. To survive such a rite with mind intact would mark one as unquestionably devout.
