Homebrew Damawae Species Details

Damawae: With their gaunt and thin appearance, their opaque coloration, and their monocolor eyes, the Damawae make for an unsettling appearance. They have been likened to ghosts or spirits, and their tumultuous temperament and strange perspective have not done much to dissuade that. Congregating around the plains of Mauer and their self proclaimed Free City, their culture and people themselves are very difficult to know. They tend to be secretive and elusive, with inscrutable motivations and impeccable insight. This as well as a tendency to wander has given them the appearance of instigators and trouble makers, seen often as signs of an ill omen. Their Elusive nature leads to an uncanny and unnatural obsession and predilection with the truth, whether that be philosophical or literal. If not for their tendency to ignore laws as easily as they ignore walls, they would make exceptional investigators, and are in fact often used as consultants for any particularly troubling cases. Their mercurial appearance often may make them seem flighty and unreliable, but on the contrary, they tend to follow a path to its conclusion, no matter what it may be.

Damawae are born and reach maturity quickly, their incorporeal abilities marking their passage into adulthood after 5 years, though this may simply be because a young Damawae is often uncontrollable without the ability to ignore physical objects. Once they have that it is a futile effort to make them listen to rules or reason. Once they have reached adulthood, they are cast out from their home. While this may seem harsh, it is seen as a right of passage among the Damawae. Their curiosity would lead them away anyway, but now it is celebrated as a coming of age ceremony. It is said that the young Damawae are on a search for their ultimate truth, the truth of who they really are. And they can only find that themselves.
