Incarnates (神 ・聖な・る獣 (インカーネート), Kami Seinaru Kemono (Inkānēto)) were humans who had given up their appearance in exchange for power equal to a god.
About[]
"Incarnates" are a group of humans with special powers. They sacrifice their human form in exchange for the powerful power of transforming into beasts, mythical creatures, unknown creatures and other races. They can be powerful enough to compete with gods, humans or other races produced . In their human form, many look the same with visible discoloration spots on their skin.
Their appearance, size, and abilities vary depending on their mythological creature. Besides super strength, some have displayed the ability to generate substances, flight, high defense, or imperceptibility. All Incarnates have the ability to self-heal from normal attacks. Some have shown the ability to change back into their human forms but it's unclear whether constant use is the catalyst of permanent transformation.
Although Incarnates can change their own abilities, they will always have the counter-effect of being unable to control this power, because not only do they face the risk of losing their humanity and speech when using their abilities for a long time, but they are also cursed by unknown origins. Gradually they begin to lose their consciousness as humans and may even lose themselves and become real "beasts", causing them to behave like the monster whose powers they were imbued with.
In addition, the longer they fight on the battlefield, the longer Incarnates will attack each other and their allies indiscriminately. In the worst case, they will all It may be in a semi-animal state and gradually become the most dangerous creature. More importantly, after the war, Incarnates had no antidote or other way to avoid losing their humanity and transform back into humans, so they had to face a situation where they had nowhere to go and could only go around harming the world in search of it. Once fully corrupted, they behave more savagely, and in most cases, kill civilians for various reasons (i.e. greed, justice, blood-lust).As a result, people were deeply persecuted and even suffered heavy casualties due to this conflict.
Since there is currently no antidote that can turn Incarnates back into a human being, people are afraid of Incarnates and use weapons to deal with them. However,Incarnates are tough to killed from ordinary weapons, so require high-caliber armor-piercing ammo or used to Godkiller bullets must be used can do it.

Duing the War[]

Although Patria was reunified into a new country, it did not bring real peace to the people.
Post War[]
When the war "ended", many Incarnates went there separate ways and wondered to various towns and locations across the country or returning to their hometowns and hiding in seclusion to avoid being hunted . Many other Incarnates went on to follow Cain as he went to form Free Nation of New Patria. As for Hank, the former captain of the Incarnate Unit Force, he would track down, slayed and redeemed many incarnates who had lost their humanity, fulfilling the promise they made throughout the war: "those whose hearts have been corrupted will be slain by the hands of their allies."
