The Bestari

Coming from a wide range of sectors, The Bestari are a beastlike set of creatures. They all have limited residue of their animal past, wildly different per person. They have a lot of different backgrounds and identities. But, they all have in common that sometimes their beastlike tendencies come back up. From primal hunter to a prey that runs when danger is near, they are all somewhere inside a beast.

A Brief History
The Bestari are a race that evolved different planets, due to a toxin that made some species of animals evolve rapidly.This toxin has no known source, but it it is widely spread throughout the universe. As such, many animals evolved full intelligence to opposable thumbs. So, they were all grouped together, meaning all the Bestari evolved from the toxin, called Toxas.

The Bestari Big Five
Due to their spread over the universe the Bestari does not have a central government. But, the Bestari does still have a spot in the council. These are filled by the Bestari Big Five, the five richest Bestari families, who often pass down their seats through  heritage.
