Homebrew Michael Species Details

Michael, typical for her race, was born without a breath. No gasping, or first inhale, no crying- instead, Michael blinked and examined her only surroundings. Her paws are spotty, mostly black, with tufts of white sticking out like stars in the sky. She expects that as she grows, her white stars will take better shape, like planets on her eyes and moon cycles on her back.

Michael looks forward to this day. But first, she must pass her trial and will her own existence into the world. Otherwise, how will she get anything done?

— Michael

 
Michaels exist for any reason they deem justifiable. They do not meet each other very often, but if they do, it can spell danger as they are territorial creatures and their goals often conflict.

From the Darkness

With only one born every T̵̬̰̍͂͝u̶̼͛̑̊e̵̛͔͕̲s̵͔̓d̵̰̪̀̎͛a̷̡̓̈́͊y̶̡̥̋̌, Michaels are hard to come by. They are born from pitch black darkness, without time or space. Because of this, Michaels have an affinity for shadow magic.

Michaels average slightly over a foot tall and weigh 10 to 15 pounds. As they are furry creatures, they can come in any shape or colour, and they are abnormally soft. When they are young, they have round bellies to stuff chunks of bloody raw animal into. Michaels tend to be carnivorous, except for milk and carrots.

Michaels walk on their two feet and stand upright, showing their soft fuzzy bellies to the world.

Explorers of the World

Naturally curious, Michaels will always love to explore. They are destiny oriented, and will stop at nothing to achieve their life's mission, no matter where or what it may be. Being so small, they find it easy to travel alongside companions atop their shoulders or in bags, and for this reason, are mostly very friendly. 

 

DEEP THINKERS

Michaels are incapable of existing without willing it so- they contemplate the universe, the nature of sentience, the idea of joy and the illusion of time in their spare moments. They do not often act without thinking, and are seen as noble creatures because of this tendency.
