Kazimirs: On Hiatus: The wind speaks of a new beginning.

[KazimirKeeper]

Since 2005!

As you enter, you see a little black cat sitting on the counter to your left. It stares at you and then starts mewing, as if calling to someone.

"Shido, what's wrong?" a voice calls.

A women with long dark pink hair and pink eyes opens a door behind the counter and peeks out. "Oh! Customers? Hold on, I'll be right out!" she calls. This girl leaves the door cracked and disappears; after about 3 minutes she walks out to greet you.

"Sorry, I was in the back cleaning up a bit," she explains, brushing herself off a little and scratching the cat behind the ears. "I see you have met Shido!” She smiles and turns back to the door. Well, I guess you are here to see the Kazimirs. They're this way!" she smiles, pointing the way through the door she has just emerged from. "Follow me!"

As she leads you down the hallway, she stops suddenly. "Oh, how rude of me; I've forgotten to introduce myself!" she chides herself. "I am Buritsutani, one of the owners and caretakers of the Kazimirs!" she exclaims, bowing low.


After introductions, she leads you through another door at the end of the hallway. "The Kazimirs are in here. I believe Dixie is with them now..." She allows you to enter first, looking around spotting another young women with long purple hair and gray eyes seated on the floor, "Yes there she is. Dix!"
The other women turns from playing with two little cubs and bows her head. “Hello”

“You are probably wondering what a Kazimir is..." Buritsu says watching the cubs that Dixie was just playing with.

[KazimirKeeper]

Buritsutani walks over to cubs and continues to tell the story about Kazimirs as she bends down to plays with one. "Kazimirs are cat-like creatures. They grow to be about the size of full-grown lion”
“Creatures to which Kazimirs are very similar. Of course, the males get a little bigger than the females," Dixie continues to explain as she stands up.

"Adult females are very gentle and love little kids; they're kinda motherly. The males tend to like fighting and showing off, though I have seen some that are very good fathers and can be quite gentle, like the females," Buritsutani adds, picking up the squirming young Kazimir. "Cubs are very playful and can be a handful! They get into a lot of trouble if you do not watch them carefully. But that's all we really know about them so far, we still uncovering their history!" She looks at Dixie and then to you.
“Kazimir means Bringer of Peace or announcer of peace. I think of these little guys as little peace bringers to people. That is what I hope they do, Is bring peace into their owners home.” Dixie smiled.

Kazimir means Announcer of Peace.

The Fall of the Kazimirs

In the beginning of all times, when the first stars blinked into existence, a race came into being. A few of the smaller stars chose to become something new: real, tangible creatures, breathing and singing. These wonders moved between the stars, walking with two legs on the inky blackness as though it was solid, weaving songs of light and happiness. Thus was the birth of the Kazimirs.

For time untold, the Kazimirs sang of peace and joy. The stars would talk with the creatures; the Kazimirs knew not only the sweetness of song, but the roars of huge suns and the tinkling of far-away icy pinpricks of stars. Through each other, the two groups learned much.

The fall of the Kazimirs began with the death of a star. Though it may take eons, a star must eventually die. The Kazimirs, an immortal race, didn?t understand the cooling of the great giant, and were thrown into confusion when the star one day stopped talking. In the disorder, one Kazamir began to sing in anger. That star had been his favorite; he refused to accept any explanation. As his heated song grew in intensity, other Kazamirs joined in. Soon the heavens shook with their pain and anger. Stars started to flare. A young star began to tremble violently, and exploded. The Kazamirs had sinned.

Most of the singers stopped. Others, though, had sensed the power they held, and sang all the louder for it. They fled from the wrath of the other stars, but prepared to prove their superiority. They hid on the original dead giant, awaiting an opportunity. Suddenly, they saw their entire race, every Kazamir ever born of a star, descending to join them. Many looked as if they were pulled against their will.

The Kazamirs began to notice a change in themselves. They could no longer stand on two feet, instead forced to crouch on all four. Longer hair covered their bodies; their faces contorted into something beastly. Their voices, the beautiful singing voices, were morphed into something rough and uncouth. They were bound to the dead sun, which was now sprouting greenery, and were unable to walk among the stars. Their vast knowledge was drained away; they forgot all the stars had taught them, forgot how to speak with the lights in the sky.

The Kazamirs were now beasts. Thy young were still born of stars, but at the pain of the mother. Some Kazimirs became destructive, destroying for the joy of it. Others struggled in vain to remember things of old that stayed just out of mind. Many of the crude songs sung by the coarse voices of the Kazimirs worshiped the stars as powers far beyond anything else.

Rarely, a Kazimir will disappear. It is always the dreamers, the ones with their faces turned toward the stars? silver light, the ones whose voices sound most pure. They disappear in the night, taken back and forgiven, given back the true form of the Kazimir, and allowed once more to roam between stars, singing of light and joy.

Thank You Kuronue-chan for your wonderful story!

~Star~
As soon as a Kazimir is born, the parents carefully place the newborn into a 'cocoon' of sorts. A newborn stays in this star shaped wrapping until it is strong enough to come out and be a part of the Kazimir society.




~Cub~
Cubs are very clumsy and explorative in this stage. Wandering around and exploring their new home and the world around them is what cubs love to do. There are just so many things out there for them to see! Because of being so explorative, a lot of Kazimirs in the wild don't make it past the cub stage. Cubs have a star on their forhead which is a representation what they have hatched from. This will disappear when they grow to the Kit stage.




~Kit~
In the Kit stage, the star on the forehead disappears and Kazimirs calm down a little. If wild Kazimirs are lucky enough to make it to this stage, they seem more grown up and start to learn how to live on there own. Kits are very playful and are generally attention seekers; they will make sure you know they are there.



~Young Adult~
The teenagers of the Kazimirs. Of course, like all teens, Kazimirs get attitudes too. Puberty and life hit them hard at this stage. Curious to know what is out there, they explore their minds, bodies, and souls. Breeding can begin at this age, although some pregnancies may not make it because the mothers are still young and growing. Although no miscarriages have yet happened to domesticated Kazimirs, they are still a possibility at this age.



~Adults~
After figuring out about life and themselves, Kazimirs are all grown up, breeding and giving their kind the hope to live on. Adults can still be very childish, playing with other Kazimirs and with their offspring. The younger at heart they are, the closer they will be to their offspring, and the longer they will.




~Pride Leader~



~Death~
When a Kazimir dies, its soul is formed into a jewel. You can keep this jewel, equiping it onto a necklace or anything to keep it with you. You may also equip it onto a collar and put it on another one of your Kazimirs. When this happened, sometimes mystical things will happen to that Kazimir O_o...
Death comes quick to those who dont RP...



~Elders~
Elders are the oldest Kazimirs, ones who have been blessed by the gods, and who have escaped Death. There will be about one to three in each clan. With some special power (Sight of the Future, Reading Minds), Elders can help younger Kazimirs make decisions and help them through life's troubles. Elder males lose there mane and only have scruffy fur around their face and neck. Females fur gets longer along with the males...



~Guardians~
If your Kazimir becomes a Guardian, the tables will turn and they will become your protector. Guardians are heavenly incarnations of Kazimirs that have been extremely blessed. Guardians are also the protectors of the Kazimirs in their clan and have one elemental power. Kazimirs sprout Hugh wings from their back, each wing being the size of the Kazimir itself. The wings are not made of bone, skin and feathers, but bone, skin and fur. Fur around 2-3 inches long. Gardains sometimes use them for protecting others against the cold and protecting cubs from anything.



~Evolved~
No one really knows how or why it happens, but this extremely rare stage can occur. In this stage a Kazimir will evolve into a humanoid being. Not much is known about these Kazimirs: only that they have more human-like traits, such as the ability to walk on two legs, the development of fingers with which to hold objects, hair and faces reminiscent of humans, et cetera. They still are covered in fur, however, can talk in Kazimirish, and retain their ears and tail. I beleave now that I know their story, this happens to Kazimirs that do good things and are rewarded with the Kazimirs orignal form, but I am still uncovering this mystery...

"Come, follow me!" Buritsutani calls as she puts the cub back onto the floor, you follow her back out to the room you first entered when you came to the shop. "The rules for adopting are easy, but just in case you forget them, I have posted them on the bulletin board over there," she smiles, pointing to the announcement board posted next to a door you've not yet gone through.
"The F.A.Q.s and the news are posted there too... The door beside it leads out to a grassed yard where you can play with your pet and meet other Kazimirs and owners." Dixie notes as she emerges from the door behind Buritsu.

Leader: Ares __________________________ Right Hand: Isis
Spawn: None

Far to the West of the Kazimir shop, a haunting mountain range looms forbiddenly over the Kazimir Plains. For years, young Kazimir were taught never to venture into the mountanous territory due to the dangers...Now, a new threat has arrived to scare the young Kazimir away.
Traveling through the valley, the grass and plant life begin to wither away. Step by step the light begins to fade, the air chills, and the sun falls behind the mountains. Small decayed bones scattter the path, you look up and into the distance... A horrifying sight reveals from the thick fog...an elephant graveyard. Massive skulls and torsos with no flesh left, this is no place for you to be.
A deafening roar calls out from the heights of the mountain. You gaze upward catching only a glimpse of a figure with fiery red fur...the figure disappears into the heavy fog.
"You are not welcome here, unless it is your wish to die..." A strong female voice is heard as she appears on the path before you in the fog. Was that blood on her coat? "Run, and never return to this place. This is your only chance." She roars, as you make your decision...
Can only join if your Kazimir has left another pride and despises them...

The Loners

Leader: None__________________________Mate: None
Spawn: None

Loners have no one place to live, they sleep somewhere one night and are on the move to a new spot the next day. There is no leader and no pride, just as the name says they travel alone. Kazimir must at first be in a pride and forced out by the leader for a crime they have done. You can not choose this pride for your Kazimir to live in, it is a punishment... They are banished from their pride.
Only can join if your Kazimir has been kicked out of another pride...

Brit is the founder of the Kazimir shop. When Brit had found a young white mothering "Lion" while wondering threw the forest one fall afternoon, she didn't know she would soon be helping a race survive. Nontle was the first kazimir humans eyes ever fell upon. The two cubs, Apollo and Hekrd Cgo, she cared for when she was found became the hope of the race. While Brit cared for those cubs, Nontle went in search of more of her race and soon "Kazimir Plains" was born. (More Coming)










Dixie is one of Brit's best friends and the reason Kazimirs is back. Dixie took in a young cub named Calli. Soon after that Dixie was helping Brit with more cubs and became a friend to the shop and almost family to Brit. When Nephele showed up at Brit's door that spring morning, it was Dixie who pushed Brit to go to the plains. (More Coming)













Malie is the girl who brought the Kazimirs home. Brit was amazed that another human could speak to the Kazimirs and took her in to help around the shop. (More Coming)















Nontle she is the 'mother' of all the Kazimirs. She cares for them when we find them. (More Coming)










Ramla (More Coming)













Melanie (More Coming)
