Ok so I got this idea when doing a ninja rp. Doubutsu, he is lord over all 23 warriors, animals. Each person has an animal spirit in them which they can turn into any time they want too. These people are protecters of all other good magic holders. And black magic is the ultimate enemy. All animal warriors are good, and only have magic called "Light Magic". The other magic holders use magic called "Black Magic" Black magic holders do now have an animal form. You can either choose to be a "Light" "Black" magic holder, or a "Human". If you choose "light" there will be a list of animals below, pick an animal from the list, because that will be your Animal Warrior form. The point is that "Light" has to fight "Black" Warrior dont have parents, they are all born from they are all born from parts of Doubustu's body, or blood.
You can have up to four magical abilities or less but no more than four. Oh yes I will be doubustu. And he will call you by your japanese name and not the name you choose for your character. Doubustu will be the only one to call the characters by their japanese name.
Oh yeah even when in animal form the warriors can use their powers.
