Anima
"Even as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.."
The Anima are a very rare species within the world of Axiom. Their very existence constantly searched and attempting to be eliminated in a constant genocide that was a result from the fear and unholy nature of their power. Their very name is the embodiment of their power Anima, meaning Soul is the result of their rather barbaric and yet ethereal ability to consume peoples Soul's. Whenever they are born they may look like any regular human child however they are born with a rather odd addition. A weapon will always be grasped tightly in their hands and the weapon often personifies their personality. This weapon gaining the title of Exodus, literally being a living breathing weapon that is at one with their Anima Counter-part. The Exodus being capable of stealing someones soul and absorbing it into their essence to become stronger when it strikes the killing blow as well as capable of taking commands from its owner and executing them within its range. Each Exodus containing a core that when it breaks kills it's Anima owner. However if the Exodus breaks any part that is not it's core it may regenerate that portion.

Racial Skills
Exodus: Soul Eater
Rank - None
-The most basic and natural skill for the Anima. When they have made the killing blow to an opponent their sword naturally feeds upon the dying bodies soul, absorbing it's power nutrients and dispersing it between itself and it's Anima owner. If the person killed was more skilled in Speed, they gain a rank in speed. If the person killed was more skilled in Strength, they gain a rank in strength.
Anima: Empyrean :Exodus
Rank - SS
-The ultimate fear of the Anima the main reason for their complete exile and genocide. When they have became strong enough and gained enough souls that have inspired them with knowledge of their own entity; The Exodus calls. The core of the Exodus combines with the Anima and creates a being of transcendence, increasing their rank in speed and strength by +3. This combination may change their appearance drastically or not at all. Must have attained max rank in Speed/Strength. Must be a Sage. Removes the -10% energy cap of their weakness and all techniques cost half the normal amount of energy for 5 posts. When the affect of Empyrean concludes they are left with full energy but lose -8 ranks in Speed/Strength from their original ranks.
