Homebrew Vuple Race Details

One can’t be blamed for confusing vuple with mao. From a distance, both races look very similar. Some day they may even be related, but they would deny that. Vuple have pointy, fox-like ears and bushy tails. They are lean and darkly tanned from their extensive travels and usually have very calloused hands. Their fur is very fine and effectively invisible to the eye. While their eyes are often quiet colors, their hair is vibrant (red most commonly but also blue, pink, purple, green), and their tails match their hair color.

Forgotten Homeland

Most vuple believe that they have a homeland and that it’s out there somewhere, but they’ve collectively forgotten where it is. Given the nature of Entira, it’s possible that it exists somewhere on the island of Estomy, and north of Palge. However, they’ve looked there. More likely, it was afflicted with some magical calamity. The reason why they know it still exists is that they are sometimes contacted by it, though the forms of contact are usually ephemeral and unusual (such as dreams or ghostly figments).

Nomads

There are two kinds of vuple nomads, and the latter group indirectly belongs to the first group. The first group is known by most as the Vuple Collective. The Vuple Collective is a large group of ships that travels around Entira, picking up supplies and trading with the civilizations they meet. The second group are the individual vuple nomads who depart from the Collective to see Entira on their own and gain wisdom and experience they can bring back to the Collective. Almost all vuple spend time traveling alone, and many of them prefer it to the Collective. However, they also know they would be in a much worse situation if the Collective were not tended to.
