the form of a man who after passing away took this form ( http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/582638/ ) in the story if you died ; just based off of which side your heart took so did you; generally good people end up giving life to the entire world and nature; while the bad, took this form, and doomed to stay like this until they passed on. either way each one lead to reincarnation until that soul itself is willing to fade, for good.
