Homebrew Aberrans Race Details

A warlock, communing with the Far Realm? A wizard, performing a profane spell to emulate a Great Old One? The source of Aberrans is a mystery. An incredibly rare race, Aberrans are unbeknownst to most common folk. They appear to be half-human, but they are obviously influenced by their aberrant heritage. Aberrans are tall, grey humanoids with no irises or pupils. They often have larger eye sockets; sometimes they have a third on their forehead. Their eye colors range from white to dark muddy green.

Abberans are often misunderstood as being either insane with knowledge or naive about the world-- neither of which is true. They have the same range of emotions as humanoids, and are, personalitywise, roughly equal. However, they do experience a planar wanderlust. They will, consciously or not, seek out ways of travel to other planes, eventually attempting to find their way back to the Far Realm itself. They also have an obsession with knowledge, being very intelligent, though not quite as sane. The madness isn't a given with all aberrans, but it is often where their minds end up.
