History
The Seventeen Beasts (Japanese: 十七種の獣, Hepburn: Jyuunana shu no Kemono）ere originally a race of peaceful beasts. They were the original inhabitants of the planet who lived on the surface until a race of ascended humans called the 'Visitors,' came and terraformed their planet in order to recreate their home world. Angry that the world that they loved was being taken away from them, the Beasts turned on the Visitors and tried to destroy them. However, their attack failed and the Visitors cursed them by turning them into the Human species currently known as 'Emnetwihts.' They then created the other species in order to keep their numbers small. Despite being condemned to human flesh, the beasts conformed to their new bodies as parts of the humans' subconscious urges. They then waited for centuries within their human forms until the Emnetwiht species unconsciously grew enough to cause the curse to start breaking 600 years ago. However, some of the Emnetwihts were against going back to their human forms and so sought the means to extend their humanity. Under their leader 'Nils Didek Foreigner,' they formed an organization called 'True World' which was devoted to analyzing the original curse and seeking the means to extend it.
A century later, True World came to the conclusion that they needed the corpse of a Visitor in order to recreate the corpse and so sought to kill the last Visitor alive, Elq Hrqstn. However, Elq's guardians (The Poteau) became aware of the danger to their master and in a fit of anger, Jade Nail attacked the humans and started a war with them. After a brutal war which left many dead, the Poteau were defeated and their master Elq was cursed into a death-like state by Lillia Asplay using the Carillon, Seniorious. Lillia died in the attempt, however, Elq's body was then taken to the Imperial Capital where they attempted to recreate the curse by smashing her soul into tiny pieces.
Overview
Each of the seventeen species of beasts has their own unique physiological compositions and features that are unique to their own species. Their forms can be plant-like or beast-like, however, all of them do share some common features. All of the Seventeen Beasts have incredibly sturdy bodies. Most of them do have armour shells or incredibly thick skins which allows them to easily brush off gunfire and missiles. While they can be hurt by weapons like Flamethrowers and do have their certain weak points on their bodies, the only thing that can really kill are Venenum infused Carillons / Dug Weapons, though it does take over hundreds of strikes before they do die. All of the Seventeen Beasts have the ability to regenerate, though some species have slower regeneration rates.Their regeneration can be halted by weapons like Flamethrowers. Most of the Seventeen Beasts do have the ability to manipulate their bodies to form fists or heads or even weapons to smite their enemies with.
