Homebrew Half-triton Race Details

Half-tritons remind me of half-elves in regard in their place in the world. They are considered outsiders by triton society, and have no true homeland of their own, but it seems that they mostly reside in coastal towns.

Some tritons during their time in the surface world have participated in some of its many “pleasures” which has resulted in a new race.

Forsaken Guardians

Half-tritons are a folk of outsiders due to their mix heritage. They aren’t welcome in the larger triton colonies due to physiology no longer supporting the ability of deep-sea travel without assistance. Due to this, some tritons see them as no longer suitable to be guardians of the deep due to this weakness. Even as a mostly lawful good society, they are a proud race that would see these individuals no longer guardians of the deep. Leaving them either in triton colonies closer to the surface or exiling them to the surface world.

On the other hand, half-tritons who were raised on the surface world, generally live in coastal towns or by large bodies of water. Most see them as helpful sailing companions who can use their triton heritage to aid in their endeavors, while others see them as an oddity due to the union of two different races.

Semiaquatic Bloodlines

Half-tritons to the average person look human, but upon close inspection, it’s obvious that they are not entirely human and some of their may have hints of triton features. This may include their hands and feet being webbed, sections of their skin looking scale like, or gills around the neck. Some other features that they might heritage that are less subtle may include small fins on their arms and legs, or their skin tone and hair might range anywhere from a blue to green tint.

Half-triton Names

Half-tritons use either the human or triton naming conventions. What usually determines on which naming convention is used is the society that they are raised in. If the half-triton has a human name, they were most likely raised in a coastal town, but if they are raised in a shallow triton colony, they may take on a triton name.
