Trinkfolks

"Upon walking in the tavern, I saw a crowd, obviously absorbed by something. I then moved closer to see an human-sized wooden puppet, standing there, juggling with his own head."

-Unknown commoner, Quotes from around the realm

Living constructs are normally bulky, sturdy, and prefer to use brawl over brain. Not the trinkfolks, who are slick, smart and adaptive. Although, their greatest strengh is their ability to never let anything confine them, not even their own body.

Limitless mind, limitless body

The only thing limiting a trinkfolk is their physical bodies; a puppet-like body made of wood and other random materials, locking them in the mortal world. Their faces are simply carved in and can either be an actual face, symbols, or just left blank. Despite that, they like to see their body more as a vessel than a prison, needing neither sleep nor sustenance and being able to do things that most species cannot do, such as rotating their articulations in every direction and remove their own limbs.

Despite their high intelligence, trinkfolks usually show a really childish behavior, such as being reckless, short-tempered, energetic and mischievous. They are also known to be creative, and it is not uncommon for them to carve and paint their own body and to wear colourful and intricate handcrafted clothings.

A past of servitude

They were originaly made to be better than any other servants. Being able to slide anywhere to fetch anything, easy to store, smarter and more dextrous than undeads, golems or common slaves, and infused with a blank soul, making them autonomous and clever enough to make decision by themselves, but not enough to give them morals, personnality or dreams. And with all that, being made of material easily replaceable and more lasting than flesh, they were physically immortal, being able to be used by multiple generation.

Uprising

Unfortunately, their so called "blank soul" were like blank canvas, waiting to be painted. This made trinkfolks curious, easily influenced and gave them extremely fast learning skills. They quickly learned about moral and freedom, and a rebellion was waged and won. Over the years, trinkfolks became a race of explorer, mercenaries, pranksters and risk takers, always ready to try new things, go where no one has gone and do what no one else would do.
