Homebrew Ouran Race Details

"Something something something"

— Someone said so

Lithe and beautiful creatures, tied to both the Dreams Plane and the Nature World. They are humanoid in nature, but all have animal tails and ears, along another individually specific animal trait. Their eyes are big and bright and their irises are never a simple circle, always have weird shapes, like cat slits, or rectangles like toads or goats. Some have spirals or emblems.

Anatomy

They are short and slender humanoids, very similar to humans and elves. They all have semi prehensile tails that grow in their backs, and furry or animalistic ears. The irises of their eyes are unusually big and colorful, while their pupils have all kinds of shapes except the regular circles. Every individual has another animalistic trait, like horns, markings on the skin, feathers instead of hair, whiskers, fangs, etc...

Growth Rate & Stages

Ouran mature quite rapidly, almost like humans, and by age 20 they have a full-grown body. Due to their long lives, they do not come of age just by reaching a certain age, but when both they and a few of their peers decide that they really are. Usually, there is some kind of achievement involved, like a builder finishing a fine construction, a musician being recognized by its peers or a farmer improving their crops' yield.

Ecology and Habitats

Most Ouran live in natural environments. Rapos Ouran make great cities and model nature to fit their aesthetics. Lynkos usually do it the other way around, building around trees, ponds or hills. Panthos Ouran live mostly in dark jungles where the light doesn't reach the floor, in caves or in the western continent where magic has stopped sunlight from ever shining.

Facial characteristics

They have big eyes usually of saturated shiny colors. Their irises are never just regular circles, instead, they have other shapes like cat slits, or rectangles like goats, triangles, collections of dots, etc... Their ears look animal-like. Ouran Rapos usually have triangular ears like foxes, cats, or some breeds of dogs, or long ears like rabbits or hares. Lynkos usually have "droppy" ears like some breeds of dogs. Panthos usually have round ears like bears or big felines. Due to crossbreeding, though, almost all kinds of ears are seen in any subrace.

Details

Lifespans. Between 800 and a thousand years.

Average Height and Weight. Their height is usually compressed 1.5 to 1.8m, and their weight between 45 and 80kg on healthy individuals.

Average Physique. Ouran are almost always slender and fit. It's possible for one to gain weight, but it's very rare and it involves a lot of eating and not moving. They have ectomorph complexion most of the time, sometimes mesomorph, but never endomorph.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking. All Ouran have a tail, but that is as much as can be defined as common ground. Tails can be long and slender, or short and bushy. Some have rat-like tails or monkey tails, curled or prehensile. Some of them have fur patches, or markings and patterns in different skin tones. Rapos Ouran are usually fair-skinned, Lynkos usually have golden or tan skin, while Panthos have either dark, almost pitch black skin, or light greyish tones. Then every individual has an animalistic trait, sometimes a whole family shares it, sometimes is unique to the individual.

Ouran Traits

Your Ouran character has a variety of natural abilities and learned abilities, originating from both their innate powers and their lengthy upbringing

Premonition

Your deep connections to the Dreams Plane brings you closer to prescience. When you finish a long rest, you can roll a d20 and record the result. At any moment before the next full rest, you can “remember” having dreamed about what’s about to happen and you can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. When you finish a long rest, you lose any unused foretelling roll.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Age

Ouran mature quite rapidly, almost like humans, and by age 20 they have a full-grown body. Due to their long lives, they do not come of age just by reaching a certain age, but when both they and a few of their peers decide that they really are. Usually, there is some kind of achievement involved, like a builder finishing a fine construction, a musician being recognized by its peers or a farmer improving their crops' yield. Usually, the expected age to reach social adulthood is at some point between 80 and 110 years.

Size

Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of blue.

Tail

Due to your appendage, your equilibrium is greatly enhanced. You have Proficiency in the Acrobatics skill.

Efficiency

Ouran's bodies are incredibly efficient at producing and preserving their energy resources. They need but 4 hours of rest to feel completely refreshed, and only need to eat half as much as a human of their size would. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
