The Alters exist under a sole creed:
- We exist... and that is enough.
The Alters are beings of intervention and thus follow a different standard of "race" than any other. This mysterious order is born of torn souls that have splintered away from the original host, entirely through outside influence originally created by and from Krivoroks as the ultimate form of torture against each other. Essentially, a newborn Alter is the very same as that in which it was created from, often resulted in the Alter's demise shortly after their deed is completed. It would span millennia before an Alter proved capable of things other than fighting, such as thought and consciousness, simply due to the short amount of time an Alter was capable of remaining alive under Krivoroks...
Today, the current Alters are an offshoot of the original Krivorok alters whom retained enough individuality to flee to sanctuary -most of which have long since been extinct, both Kriv and Kriv'Alter- that thrive from their creation amongst humanity (a majority of the current Alters are created from human souls) and even the newly born Alters spanning the sentient races of the Cascadian world, far from the hell of their origins. However this does not imply that other races approve of their existence.
After a brief amount of time, Alters begin to fade away from the shadow-image forced upon them at creation, and begin to become someone that reflects them as the newfound image they will grow to become. A majority of Alters are transmodified into a human being, but retain both strength in the spirits and ancestry of the Krivoroks and the ingenuity and willpower of humans, regardless of initial status.
Alters retain individual strength, ability and appearance, discarding the shadow-like appearance of their former soul. Even though they exist as fragmented souls, they have transcending with strength unmatched in soul and heart. -ironically the two things left uncreated for them- Alters are not vengeful beings, but retain emotions of unrest to the return of the Krivoroks and the demonic manipulations of the Moroi. They have found a newborn alliance amongst the Za'al and retain neutrality amongst the sentient races, regardless of the way they feel in return.
The only fear maintained by these brave souls is the fear of falling to the influence of other races, an extended history of this amongst a majority of species with even a hint of magical ability.
Alters however are not wary of creating others amongst them to bolster their stagnant numbers. This is performed by simply slashing an enemy with any form of weapon, regardless of intent. They are instinctively drawn to fellow fragmented spirits and wish solely to remain alive as a free people, to discover their own natures and and expand upon the nothingness and anguish in which they were created.
