Name of Race: Veninculum
Planet of Origin: Unknown
Race Abilities: Varies among individuals
Description: The Veninculum are humans who have formed a bond with an animal, or 'Familiar'. They can then transform themselves into the animal, wholly or partially. When in desperate need, they may also summon their familiar, to aid them.
History: A highly civilized, yet ancient race, whose origin is unknown. Found few and far between, it is believed that these people were once ordinary humans who, over time, developed a deep connection with animals. The animal is chosen by comparing their spirit to one of an animal, and upon the eve of their fifteenth birthday and on the day they 'come of age' they form a 'Blood Bond' with the creature. Familiars tend to vary greatly from planet to planet, females generally receiving more docile animals to bond with though, on occasion, they can be matched with a 'Warriors' spirit.
Other Info: The animal chosen affects many things, including life expectancy, facial features (eg. If their familiar is a snake, their pupils may slit) and their weight and height. Their speed, strength, etc is also likely to change (eg. Increased speed if their animal is a cheetah).

Approved, so long as you make it that they must turn into the animal completely.If you want to be able to change into an animal partially then I would recommend making it an ability rather than a racial ability.
