Homebrew Homunculus Species Details
Homunculi are artificial humans created through the use of forbidden alchemy. They represent the most sinful aspects of humanity and are depicted as sadistic, amoral, and sociopathic with heavy superiority complexes. They derive pleasure from witnessing and inflicting suffering and death and see themselves as the next step in human evolution.
Homunculi are clearly evil creatures but hidden behind this mask are complex individuals capable of love, grief, guilt, and despair.
Most homunculi closely resemble humans, with identifying differences being their black hair, purple eyes, and a crimson red tattoo somewhere on their body.
