Destach: A race based off Destrachans

Destachrans can be described as a half-awake nightmare turned real. Having no eyes, they rely on sound to move in their surroundings. They are considered abominations, for their unnatural look. Yet, through the strangeness that is this world, there exists a hybrid between a destrachan and a human, called a destach.

Made for the underground

A Destach is a humanoid figure with no eyes. They have three fingers and three toes, each with a short claw at the end of them. They also have pale skin, a gaping mouth, and ears that have three holes that can hear sounds no normal creature can. Destachs often stay underground, living with their Destrachan parent, mastering their sonic abilities and learning to live in darkness.

No need for Culture

Destachs do not live together as a family or a community. They choose to either live alone or with a destrachan. A destach is not given a name, as their destrachan parent uses a specific screech to refer to them. If a destach needs a name, they either use an abbreviation of destach or another name they heard.

Survival of the Fittest

Destachs see themselves more as animals than as people. They don't focuse on morals, and prefer to do what's needed to survive. Some Destachs could see the path to survial in society, with civiization having the essentials to live. Another could see the path as becoming as strong as they could, which would lead to them becoming adventurers.
