The Kitzu
The Kitzu are mainly solitary animals, prefering to live alone than with large groups. The only exception to this is that they travel with their life-mates. When they have kits, they usually stay in one place, near a den where the kits will be safe. When they are old enough, their parents will teach the kits how to hunt and will travel with their parents for a time. When they are old enough to fend for themselves, they will usually leave or their parents will force them away. They mainly sleep during the night and go about their activities during the day. They can see in the dark but only barely, just faint outlines without the help of the moon.
They are mainly omnivores and prefer rodents, small mammals, berries, and fruits. Some are large and skilled enough to catch large mammals but usually, they only go after the large ones in groups.
Their fur can vary between silky and matted based on how often they groom. Kitsunes can both clean their fur and show affection by grooming. Because of this, mates and close friends are often seen grooming one another.
Kitzus go together in large groups willingly only when there is a festival. They are carefree during those times and will often speak to old friends, parents, or others that they have met during their travels.

The Angeli
The Angeli prefer to live in groups together, called Herds, but some may be solitary, because they prefer it or because they are shunned. When they have foals, they are usally taken care of by the rest of the Herd and most live to see adulthood. However, if a lone Angeli (with or without a mate) has foals, they will most likely die with only one or a few to help them. If they manage to live, they are usually stronger than average Angelis. Once they reach adulthood, they may choose to stay with their parents, find a different Herd to join, or leave to make one of their own. They are usually awake during the day, to graze when the grass is still wet with dew and warm from the sun. They cannot see well in the dark without the powers of certain Clans and so they are weakest in the night.
They are herbivores and eat grass. Sometimes, they will eat fruit but they cannot digest meat (not like they want to, anyways).
The Angeli take pride in their feathers and often preen them during their spare time. They will groom their fur only if they think their wings are as clean as they can get. To them, preening is similar to a Kitzu's grooming and they will often preen their mate's feathers.

The Akuma
The Akuma are varied. Some would prefer the protection and safety of a Flight while others prefer to be alone. There are benefits and disadvantages for both and it really is up to the Akuma to decide. Pups are fiercely defended and grow up strong whether they were raised by a whole Flight or just their parents. When they are old enough, they may choose to stay with their parents (if allowed) or go off to live by themselves or to join a new Flight. Too much sun hurts their eyes so they are usually up in the afternoon and early night. They can see better than most in the dark but it is still hard for them.
The Akuma can digest almost anything but are mainly carnivores. They prefer large game and usually finish off the whole kill, bones and all. Sometimes, they will eat fruits and berries and there are even some vegetarians.
Their scales are bright and easily cleaned with just a dip in running water. They have small tufts of fur along their cheek and jaw, on the joints of their legs, chest, and back. They are usually silky because there isn't much fur but in some cases, they get matted and dirty. They do not groom one another like the other Kitsunes, instead prefering to wash themselves alone.

Clan Gods, Patrons, and Deities
Life God:
The God of Life or Life God is the God of all Clans. His name is Zero and not much is known about him except that he is more powerful than the rest put together. He can bring dead Kitsunes to life or kill them at will, and that is where he gets his name, for is 0 at the beggining or at the end of all numbers? Sometimes (although not often), he will revive the Familiars. He hasn't been seen for a very long time and some believe that the god of Chaos killed him. Others believe that he is still alive and will come when needed for how can a god that gives life, die?
<(]---[o]---[ wink >

They enjoy the dark, where it is easiest to pull tricks but they don't like the fact that the power of night-vision was not gifted to them like the Lunar clan.
