Homebrew Florum Species Details

physical description + physiology

 

Uncertain Origins 

The origin of the Florum is a mystery that has baffled and frustrated scholars for centuries. Some argue that they were once a group of humans blessed (or cursed) by some God, while others are adamant they evolved directly from plants, their humanoid shape simply a quirk of fate. In whispers, some humans wonder which of their ancestors had relations with a tree. The Florum themselves tend to be unfazed by all this bother. After all, they're here now.  

Natural Habitat

The Florum hail from all parts of the world, their home often evident in their appearance and physiology. While the Ulmaceae Florum are known to live in forests and wilderness, the Phaeophyceae Florum tend to more aquatic life in marches and shallow lakes. 

Diverse Character

Much like humans, the Florum are varied in their character. Though the Florum are often expected by outsiders to be slow and thoughtful, they are just as likely to be brash and loud like the vines that adorn them. Some argue that the plants with which they share the most features shape their nature, yet none have ever proven so conclusively.
