That sounds more like a vehicle than an actual species.

[Arthur Ingram]

It would help to know a little bit more about them, if that would be possible. The inital idea is very interesting.

Species Name: Jyu

Appearance: The Jyu take a variety of appearances; they resemble something of Humanoid chimaeric beasts, being combinations or representations of various beasts and species on our planet. Although the term Jyu means "Beast" they can be represented in the form of aquatic, insectoid, or even avian forms.

Abilities: Incredibly powerful and intelligent creatures--despite scarcely making usage of our languages and preferring to speak in their own, they are incredibly quick and versatile, and depending on the Jyu may possess unique and terrifying abilities such as flight, or aquatic traversing.

Other Information: They are often kept in-line and controlled by the strongest Jyu--what the Jyu call the "Jyu-Ogami" or "Beast God", and they go into a dormant comatose-like state when the Jyu-Ogami either dies or does the same--which lasts for several millennia. When they emerge though, they begin their cycle of destruction to again select their new Jyu-Ogami of whom shall lead them. They also consist of various tribes representing each kind of animal species (ex: Insectoid, Aquatic, Avian, etc.) whom are led and represented as "Jyu-Ogami Canditates" by the strongest member or leader from each tribe. Of course none of these "leaders" have been identified yet.

Species Name: Horror
Appearance: Varies
Abilities: Taking on various forms and powers for the sake of feeding on humans.
Other Information: Originally from a demon world, the Horrors appear in the human world, attracted by the darkness inside human beings that they feed on. The Horrors come in many forms; they usually come in a black-winged skeleton humanoid form that can fly and feed upon humans. Beyond the basic skeletal humanoid form, various Horrors take the form of an object to kill their prey. Others are animal themed such as a fish or a spider. Based on the object or animal form taken, they might revert back into a mechanical or mythical monstrosity. They also speak in a language which could be understood by either a Makai Knight or a potential host.

Each Horror has unique tastes, feeding on specific emotions and taking over the human as host to stalk other humans to feast on. The Horror can cooperate with its host's blackest desire or completely take over the human being to feed upon its emotions. Horrors can manifest spiritual energy into physical objects such as chains or become objects like a watch to ingest a human. Each Horror tends to prepare the human or play with its food first before eating. Though they tend to look alike, their forms appear differently when bursting out of the possessed human depending on the matter it appeared in the human world and its matter of consumption. The Horrors also gain new abilities in their new forms. However, once they use up the energies of their host they return to their basic form most of the time. Occasionally when a Horror is defeated the host is returned to his/her original human state, but dies shortly thereafter.

However, Horrors can never truly die so long as darkness exists in the hearts of men, so upon a physical death, the Horror's essence is sealed within a Makai Sword until it removed is bound into a dagger that is trusted to the Knight's Watchdog to be sent into the Demon World to be permanently dealt with.

Species Name: Rinshi
Appearance:
Abilities: Improved Akugata powers
Other Information: The Rinshi has improved their 'knowledge' of Akugata and able to attack faster and they are more tougher in a big group. The Rinshi can now don armour but rarely use it as that it is too heavy and restricts their normal movement most of the time. The armour only protects the body and the head and helmet is main problem the Rinishi rarely use the armour. They can't see through their helmets and its weight weakened the Rinishi but it serve as good armour.

They also have spears which they use often when fighting more enemies or a stronger opponent but they sometimes over use them against opponents when it gets tough. The spears have a golden cast near where the blade is kept.

[Takato, Jabi and Rin]

First off, tell me more about this armor they wear. What areas does it protect, how exactly does it slow them down in the first place, so on and so forth.
Secondly, Rinshi have been known to wield spears. This needs to be added.

[Kandou Jan]

Species Name: Facades
Appearance: Varies, however all of them are generally humanoid, with monstrous details (claws or feet, a tail, etc), their faces covered by a mask somewhat resembling a Kabuki mask, the design of which is unique to each Facade. As far as clothing, they tend to wear some kind of yukata-esque robe, with sleeves and pants (or a dress for female Facades) long enough to hide their hands and feet, and a hood. This is worn over further clothing that gives more clues as to their fully monstrous form.

Upon removal of the mask, and uttering the phrase "Facade! Unmask!", a Facade transforms into a far more monstrous form based on the monstrous elements they were unable to hide in their previous form. These forms vary, but tend to resemble mythical creatures (both humanoid and nonhumanoid, though the Facade's monster form is always humanoid) from varying human cultures.
Abilities: Abilities amongst Facades are as varied as the Facades themselves. Some breathe fire, some summon lightning from the sky, along with heaven only knows how many other possibilities there are.

Facades in their masked form however, are weaker than their unmasked form, only able to tap into a small portion of their abilities, though, as mentioned, these abilities can still be fairly varied. However, there are some powers all Facade share in any form.

• Masked Space: All Facades can create a temporary pocket dimension around themselves, and most do immediately upon arrival, forcing someone to fight them "on their own turf". Though they're also known to use this space to store captured victims. Defeating the Facade will disrupt this pocket dimension, and eject all inside.
  
• Facade Buster: A fairly standard ranged attack, Facades fire spheres of charged matter that detonate on impact. All Facades can use this power, though their power with it may vary.
  
• "Paint, Facade": This command allows more powerful (or at least more clever) Facades to completely disguise themselves as a normal human, though all Facades are actually capable of doing this.

Other Information: Facades hail from a near inhospitable dimension called "Obskura", which, with effort on the part of the Facades, can be breached, allowing them access to the human world via a spiraling vortex in the sky. Overall, they tend to envy humanity, wanting to destroy them.

Of course, there are exceptions, and some Facades would rather just live in this world, rather than conquer it, and may be convinced to ally themselves with humanity. One example was the Facade (now dead) who created the Toppa Ignition and its Core Drill Keys.

The Facade don't live alone in their dimension, though. There's another kind of lifeform that they created for use as infantry, and are usually accompanied by a great deal of them. (See below)

Species Name: Mugann ("Faceless")
Appearance: Mugann, unlike Facades, are all practically identical, androgynous humanoids, with white bodies, and as their name implies, no face, just a single gem in the middle of what should be their forehead. Their bodies have glowing red lines that spread out from a ring on the center of their chest, and middle of their back, that stop at their knees, but reach all the way to the back of their hands.
Abilities: All Mugan share a couple abilities, including enhanced strength when compared to a normal human, limitless endurance, and a weak laser they can fire from the gem on their forehead. Otherwise, compared to their Facade masters, they're immensely weak.
Other Information: Mugann do not speak, as they have no mouth. And they are undyingly loyal to the Facades.

Species Name: The Weyard
Appearance: It varies, there are four "Breeds" of Weyard.
Earth Weyard are primarily brown or black with some being orange. They often appear as a half-human half-land creature, a land creature can be just about anything, usually a land dwelling mammal though reptiles, amphibians and other creatures related to the earth (Like mudfish or dodo for example) can be seen. In human form Earth Weyard are dirty and covered in sand, mud or grime.

Water Weyard are almost exclusively creatures that dwell in or near oceans, rivers and lakes. As water is a large source these can range from insects to birds but are usually fish or other underwater creatures. Their bodies are blue or green. In human form they will look drenched with water.

Air Weyard are of a white or light blue colour. They often take the form of winged creatures, usually birds. But other aerial creatures, or animals that dwell up high can be taken as well. In human form an Air Weyard's hair and clothes will be ruffled up and any makeup (Or tattoos!) they have will be smudged.

Fire Weyard The fourth breed of Weyard are unidentifiable as Weyard when in human form unless you touch them as their bodies are red hot. In their Weyard form they are often red, yellow and orange with more powerful ones being blue. They can take the form of just about anything but prefer lizards and insects. Their numbers include many mythical creatures.

Abilities: A Weyard is formed when someone dies in a particularly horrific manner. They are ressurected in a body reflecting what killed them in some way. Each Weyard has elemental power over their domain (fire, water air or earth). They also possess abilities unique to them usually involved with their death.

In addition the Weyard are uniformly immortal and can change between their human form (The body they had when they died) and their Weyard form. All Weyard are dead and have no pulses or heartbeat.

Weyard all have the potential to use magic, but aren't skilled with it and need to learn the spells for it to have any effect.
Other Information: The Weyard have one "Queen" for each tribe. But it isn't known who these queens are. Each one is a skilled sorceress and can create Weyard by killing mortal humans. With them awake the Weyard are returning to being created "naturally".
