✤ How do you determine the Akimaru's Rarity?

You can tell the rarity by what type of essences they have; the essences are based around the conservation status or type of animals and plants. (An essence is the potent extract of a certain animal or plant, these essences course through the veins and heart of Akimaru.)
Example ➜
An Akimaru called Hoshiko has one essence which is the release dove (columba livia domestica), that is a common essence as the release dove is a domesticated bird.

Akimaru is a Closed Species containing 3 sections; Kirami, Uniscent and Mermarine. These 3 species are blessed by either the sky, earth or ocean. These species are in harmony with one another and connected to the land and nature. They have spirit essence in their veins of animals and plants that either represent them or that inspire them.

Kirami

Kirami is blessed by the Sky Realm, they can change weather, cloud formations and wind. They are characterised by their wings and bring the sky to life both during the day and at night. Their wings are of many types, shapes & sizes and have essence in their blood from spirits of animals or plants.

Mermarine

Mermarine is blessed by the Ocean Realm, they can create waves, control currents and affect weather. They have no legs, only Mermaid-like Tails. They reside in large bodies of water, transforming any environment around them into an enchanting one. Their tails are of many types, shapes & sizes and they have essence in their blood from spirits of animals or plants.

Uniscent

Uniscent is blessed by the Land Realm, they can erode rocks, grow plants and create crystals. Each Uniscent can grow a specific crystal that represents them, some have crystal horns, necklaces or legs. They have a special bond with earth above and below the surface, they can locate minerals, trees and rivers with no trouble! Their crystals also house memories & places, the crystals can be accessories or parts of their body that have been crystallised and they have essence in their blood from spirits of animals or plants.

✤ Behaviour

Each species has its habitat and behavior, through this, they find each other in a beautiful ecosystem and in harmony with one another. Assisting each other with their strengths and aiding in each other's weaknesses.

➜ Kirami

Our first species is our Sky Akimaru, who we call Kirami, they usually like to live in higher regions, mountain plateaus, and hills. They prefer tall trees, where they can fly easily though, surrounded by lovely nature and plenty of open spaces. Kirami have built kingdoms on clouds and towns on trees, only stable from their magic, the blessing, the Sky realm provided.

They are born with wings which are extremely sensitive and lighter bones so they can easily jump up high for flight and manuvoure their bodies in the sky. Their eyesight is just as unique, they have normal eyesight but in the dark they have thermographic sight, being able to see heat coming off creatures, rocks, and other Akimaru.

With their blessing from the sky Realm, they can control weather, winds, and cloud formations. With that power, they assist the other Akimaru with ocean winds, waves, erosion, and plant reproduction.

➜ Mermarine

Our second species is our ocean Akimaru, which are called Mermarine. They live in all sorts of large waters like lakes, rivers, and of course oceans. Some can only live in freshwater, others only in saltwater but some are special and can treverse both. They have made shipwrecks, coral reefs, and rocky sea shelves their homes, even building their city out of sandstone and shells.

Mermarines are born with a tail, instead of legs. Some have unique tails that their spirit(s) has bestowed upon them. They have amazing eyesight especially underwater and at night but it becomes blurry when above water. Their tails have special recepters called electroreceptors, they can sense energy and movements, even the smallest change in the water.

The power the Ocean Realm blessed upon Mermarines is controlling currents, precipitation, water quality, and manipulating liquids. They provide stable water sources for all the species, and assist the Kirami to make rainfall for the land Akimaru.

➜ Uniscent

Our last species is Uniscent, they are our land Akimaru. They mainly live in overgrown forests, plainfields, and caves. They have built magnificent kingdoms inside massive trees, amongst the forests, and in massive caves. Uniscent have much more endurance than other species and can travel long distances without much exhaustion.

They are born able to grow crystals and some have their limbs transformed into crytsals. Their crystals house many memories and make Uniscent the most knowledgeable species, they hardly ever forget anything, and if you give them time to think, they'll always recall said information.

The power that the land realm granted to the Uniscent is being able to grow plants, erode rocks, and create small domains that can store a house. With this power the Uniscent aids in preserving nature, transportation, and teaching many Akimaru from each species.
