My name is Tear, I am an orphan. About two months ago my parents were killed by crazy cultists who despise beast-men, they were captured and executed, good. I was taken into an orphanage after finding out, all I got to take from our house was a small picture of all three of us and my mom's locket. I keep the picture in the locket and wear it at all times. I am a beast-man to be precise I am a mixed beast-man, my mom was a polar bear beast-man and my dad was a black panther beast-man. I acquired most of my appearance from my mom, I have white hair, bear ears, and a bear tail. I was named Tear because I have a black teardrop on my hair, it probably came from my dad, I also have green feline eyes. My mom just like most polar bear beast-men girls was very short and had big breasts. sighs I don't know whether to look forward or not to my future growth, on the plus side polar bear beast-men have very high strength among most beast-men but low agility and are bad in the heat, I wonder if my dad's black panther genes will help cover polar bear's low agility and heat issue.

Today is my 5th birthday, I will be taken to the church to unlock my status, I wonder what will happen afterward, I know the church sells information to nobles, they need to make money somehow.
(Care-taker Lady) "Come along now, we have to go to the church."
(Tear) "Yes."
We both walk to the church that is across the street, the church helps out with the orphanage, probably to keep an eye out for any potential talents.
(Priest) "Welcome. Are you here to pray?"
(Care-taker Lady) "No, this little one turned 5 today."
(Priest) "Ah, a status unlock, come this way."
We walk up to an altar, a weird pillar is in front of us.
(Priest) "Just place your hand on the pillar."
I put my hand on the pillar and it starts glowing.
