Ranukin Life & Community
General Life Style
Ranukin are an intelligent and social species, living in villages and communities all around the world. They pride themselves on their self expression, and each ranukin leads their own unique life.
They do not have any hierarchy aside from their general moral code set by the society. Anykin who breaks the code risks being looked down upon and avoided, or even exiled from the community in serious cases. Some ranukin are wealthier and higher class than others, and their families may be treated with more respect, however in the end they hold little power over anykin else.
Ranukin have countless schools around their nation for various different professions, as education and setting up a stable future is extremely important to them, however the most prominent are their schools for magic, which are most popular because anykin can reach even the most impossible heights of magic usage with dedication and practice. All are born with the same magical potential, so even if they are lacking in their own unique talents, they all at least have one thing they can succeed in!
Because of this, magic is commonly used within a ranuki's daily lifestyle. Even ranukin who don't care for it typically learn the basic control that makes life easier for them such as moving objects and simple transformations.
Shapeshifting is a big part in ranukin lifestyle. The first transformation mastered by every ranuki is their anthro formations! This form becomes the most common form for them as it aides to be the most convenient for everyone! The use of their arms and fingers/thumb is much easier for everyone, and they also generally feel like they are able to be more expressive this way! However there are still some who prefer their feral forms and even sometimes another transformation all together!
Most kin have a common goal to keep their planet and environments healthy and prosperous. This is more so an instinct for the species than anything, however they do find a purpose and a place in doing so, for the healthier the world around them, the more beneficial it will be for them. There are scouting teams specifically trained to exercise their skills and travel around helping the world. Anyone can train and join a scouting team, and the schools for such are completely free to the community and any race of ranukin.

Lifecycle
Ranukin cannot reproduce biologically. Creating an infant can only be done by those who can master magic and learn to bend it to their will. If they can do this, they can use it to divide a piece of their soul from within their magical stores, and merge it to a new seed. 2 ranukin can come together to preform the spell. It must be carefully done together, or they could damage their own souls in the process, possibly altering their personalities or hurting the soul itself.
Binding the soul pieces to create a single life is how genetics are merged and passed down. Often the love child will posses similar traits and personality quirks as their parents. Within just a few weeks, the child will wriggle from the dirt, ready to join it's family. Ranukin live and grow at different paces, and because of this inconsistent growth development, ranukin have a surprisingly long lifespan of up to 280 years!

Currency - Gemstones
Long ago, gemstones were the first recognized items of magical property on Avita. Ranukin used them for various small tasks, which at the time were considered huge, such as healing, dispersing light, and amplifying their own magic. Each different type of stone has a different power. Ranukin began hoarding them and valuing them over anything else. They would trade gems for other gems, and even items or housing. Over time, as magical studies developed, gemstones became almost obsolete within regular magical use, however their value to ranukin as collectibles remained. Even average small life ranukin saw the value in collecting the gems for trade, and soon they became a commonplace form of currency within the entire species, even spreading as a valid currency within other species on Avita. There are still many who use them for magical purposes and study, primarily healers and skilled sorcerers.
