Beastborne

Not much is Known of how the Beastborne came to be, perhaps they were the next stage of evolution in animals, perhaps they were the profuct of an Archmage's experiments but whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain, they are as deadly as they look. Taking the best attributes of both Beast and Man, they live in small villages in forests or plains and care deeply for those they call family. Plauged by their mysterious origins , many a Beastborne adventurer leave their homes to learn of the beginnings of their race. Many have tried, but so far none have succeeded.

Beastborne typings Every beastborne, is land based and mammalian in orgin. if it gives live birth, has hair and feeds milk to its young it can be a Beastborne. There are no reptilians, avians or water mammal type beastborne.

Subraces

Beastborne come in a variety of types from mice to elephants and everything inbetween, however for brevity's sake they are split into seperate castes, Carnivore and herbivore.

Subrace Limitations So long as the animal is a mammal that fits in the carnivore or herbivore category they are fair game. if the animal is an omnivore it is put into either Carnivore or Herbivore base on its biggest dietary staple. I.E. Bears would be considered Carnivores despite being Omnivores.

Tight-knit Familes

To any Beastborne, a member of family is anyone you break bread with and spill blood beside. Family is a sacred bond, that is meant to respected above all else and breaking that trust is to go against your family iteself. Work for your family and you will want for none, work against your family and you will Exiled.

From a young age, Beastborne children are treated as adults and upon their 10th nameday they are put through a trial, called the Rite of Divinity. The Young are sent out into the wild with naught but a knife and two days worth of rations, durings this time they are to recieve a message from the gods leading them down their path, when they return they take the path their god has chosen for them, accepting their new life and the family that comes with it.

Beastborne Names

Until their Rite of Divinity, young Beastborne have only their family name and usually called "Child of Whitepaw" or something similar. When they return from the Rite, they pick their own name, one that is suitable to them and one of their own choosing, they share a lot of naming convention with humans.

Male Beastborne Names: Jericho, Mathias, Andre, Dylan, Noel, Kyle, Curtis, etc.

Female Beastborne names: Abigail, Samantha, Tabitha, Rachel, Susanna, Eleanor, etc.
