Kazin

The Kazin are a species of feline humanoids. It is generally believed that they evolved from ancient dire-cats. Though they stand upright like humans, they have digitigrade legs, tails, long, arms, and heads identical to big cats. They have sharp night vision and impressive agility. Despite the obvious physical differences and their obligatory carnivorous diet, humans and kazin are not all that different, and coexist with relative ease.

Biology and Appearance
Kazin are bipedal and humanoid-adjacent. They tend to be taller than the average human. They stand on two, digitigrade legs, with feet similar to those of a regular feline. Their arms are typically rather long, with their hands naturally resting about halfway down their upper thighs. Their hands are similar to a humans, but with sheath-able claws in place of fingernails. Their heads and tails are identical to those of a large cat's, and their fur colors and patterns are just as varied. Kazin see in a different light spectrum from humans, allowing them to see clearly in the dark. They also possess enhanced agility compared to an average human, and are able to climb and run with great speed thanks to their natural claws.

Like cats, kazin are obligate carnivores and must eat meat to survive. Though they are able to eat plants and vegetation, it is not enough for them to survive on. Hunting for prey is the closest thing to a universal value among kazin across the world and cultural lines.

Kazin are capable of speaking all the same languages as any other species, and almost always speak the dominant language of wherever they are from. On top of that, kazin also have a near-universal language of catlike vocalizations, very similar to those of regular cats.

History
Kazin evolved at roughly the same rate as humanity. It has been posited by some that kazin may be descended from pre-historic direcats who once hunted early humans, though a direct line has yet to be drawn between direcats and kazin. Besides this unproven hunter-prey relationship, kazin and humans have coexisted fairly well, with their most notable conflict being the Bitter Wars, a conflict between the mostly kazin Blood Nation and the entirely human Altean Imperium nearly 500 years before the Cataclysm.
