The Initiates

The Intiates, is a group founded by the Elder Spirit Kuro and humans that discovered Kuro's ability of the goft of Therianthropy. This gift gave these humans the ability to shapeshift into the form of an animal that had best represented their personality. These humans had an increase in abilities and were considered half-humans due to their talent to transform and their improved capabilities. It was not too long after the founding of the group that Kuro chose to train members into God killers in response to a terrible tragedy that had affected some of the groups members.

History
After the discovery of Kuro and his gift of Therianthropy, a group of humans seeking power and fame came to Kuro in a request for his gift. Kuro accepted these requests if in return they came to live with him in his plane of Obliti and join his family, the humans accepted to these terms and called their new family 'The Initiates'.

The more time that the family had spent training the true powerful members of the family became more prominent in the eyes of Kuro. These humans would deal with issues that happened on Earth Land and had the permission of transferring back and forth between Obliti and Earth Land. Akabane, a young boy that was one of the first humans to join the group was identified by Kuro as the most powerful of his family and treated him as a son, and in turn Akabane treated Kuro as a father back.

The group faced a grevious cut in members as news of a group of Initiates led by Akabane were killed by a war god and his followers on the way from a completed task. Kuro angered by the loss of his adoptive son and initiates chose to train the initiates into powerful God Killers, capable of slaying battallions of humans and incapacitation of a god themselves in response to the slaying of the dearly loved members.
