You are a creature born between two worlds — the hunger of a monster and the heart of a mortal.
Your kagune manifests as brilliant, wing-like appendages of crimson or pale light — the mark of an Ukaku, a Ghoul whose speed and precision are unmatched. Whether born from forbidden experimentation, a cursed bloodline, or the twisted will of a dark god, your existence is both a gift and a torment.
You live as both predator and fugitive, your sharp senses and winged kagune making you a deadly hunter — yet the hunger for flesh gnaws at your soul. You’ve learned to balance instinct with restraint… for now
- Skill Proficiencies: Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Stealt
- Tool Proficiencies: Tool Proficiencies: Disguise Kit
- Languages: Languages: One of your choice (often Infernal, Abyssal, or Deep Speech)
- Equipment: Equipment: A bloodstained cloak, a small vial of “nutrient substitute” (a dark liquid meant to sate hunger temporarily), a symbol or trinket of someone you once cared for, and 10 gp in assorted coins.
Your predatory senses are honed to an inhuman degree.
You can instinctively detect the presence of fresh blood or living creatures within 30 feet of you, even through walls or darkness (though not through magical barriers). You also gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight or smell.
However, this ability comes with a cost — when surrounded by blood or injured creatures, you must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or feel your hunger stir, forcing you to restrain violent urges
