Fauna:
Fauna were created for a few express purposes. Back before reality changed and everyone from Kumen were people from Mirror Earth as the last survivors, not many pets survived the transfer from the dying planet. Only the rich upper class had any real pets, otherwise fake pets were created as well as Fauna. They were made to serve as companions for people as well as other functions, much like Biotects. They were placed in all levels of Geyze due to the fact they had no rights, much like the Biotects. They could be found in the upper level as pets and servant all the way to the lower level in the slums as sexual servants.
Eventually the Corporations were brought down by Asarar's team and Ymir - a Fauna - was made President and the fauna, Aurit, and Biotects were made equals to the humans. This was the way it was for years until Ymir was forced to step down and a new President stepped up and the Corporations returned, leading to strained relations with the Fauna.
Now that reality has changed and Mirror Earth has been found to be okay and trade relations has been opened up between them, certain things that was once missing is now being filled up.
There are also several types of Fauna made back when this all began; you have the original Fauna that were manufactured and due to mating and the many decades since this started, you now have a decently sized population of fauna that are second or third generation.
They can be confused with Aurits or Werebeasts at times, and they can even mingle/have children with them easily.
Lifespans: 200 - 300 years

The Cat Fauna
Based off cats of all kinds and sizes, the Cat Fauna can look like just about cat you can imagine. Their hair color, size, and appearance can be based on just about type of cat that existed, as well as some new breeds that the scientists made up when creating the Fauna.
Cat Fauna are known for their playful nature and being unable to resist pawing at the air and going mew alot, and having low attention spans. They love colorful things and enjoy working jobs that let them meet new and interesting people.
Some, also, are known to have quite the sarcastic streaks, which are chalked up to be catty. They can cut people down with their observations and seem aloof, talking in low keys, but most are easily distracted with jingling noises.
They are sometimes confused with the Aurit, and they can make good thieves themselves, but there are key differences.

The Fox Fauna
Based off foxes of all kinds and sizes, the Fox Fauna can look like just about any fox you can imagine. Their hair color, size, and appearance can be based on just about type of fox that existed, as well as new breeds that scientists made up when creating the Fauna.
Fox Fauna are known for their curiousity and mysterious behavior. Some of them can be wild and playful, enjoying playing tricks and games with people and are often seen not so much at resturants but events that let them have a good time while others enjoy working with investigative forces, using their keen senses to help track and explore. There has been numerous cases of Fox Fauna Inspectors in the past. While they can fall into some of the same pitfalls of playful behavior like Cats, Fox Fauna are far more laid back and keen sighted.
However, despite this, they also can be seen in various resturants now and again, as well as advertising, and serve as Companions for like minded people. As well as falling into sex jobs now and again in the Slums due to their exotic beauty. Their biting retorts though make it often for them to be last picks compared to Cat, Bunny, and Dog Fauna.

The Dog Fauna
Based off dogs of all kinds and sizes, the Dog Fauna can look like just about any dog you can imagine. Their hair color, size, and appearance can be based on just about type of dog that existed, as well as new breeds that scientists made up when creating the Fauna.
Dog Fauna are known for their loyality and steadfast behavior. Some are considered a little dimwitted at times, but many are highly intelligent surprisingly and are paired with Fox Fauna on police investigations and Corporate Security Forces. Their sense of smell is fantastic and once they get something in their hands/minds, they can be singleminded about letting it go. One of the best Private Investigators in the Slums is a female Dog Fauna by the name of Giki, who is known to dig at cases and pick at suspects until she gets her answers and makes a good amount of coin doing it.
Like cats, they can be hirewired into following their animalistic instincts, such as playing ball and chasing objects, which they have to be taught to overcome and take Exams to go into the fields the Owners want them todo. They also make great Companions for those who wish to have them as such, being known to be completely Loyal and never cheating in that area. They too make good resturant and shop mascots due to their exciteability and happiness at things, which can be catching.
