Homebrew Feyline Species Details

 Feyline are a healthy mix of Elves and Tabaxi procreating. They have however, migrated from their ancestors long ago, and settled in other forests with their own kin. Some elves dislike Feyline, as they see them more as a taint and a mistake. Their appearance can vary between each other, with some having ears at the top of their head, others on the side. Some of them have longer tails, where others may have much shorter ones. And their size varies a lot as well.

Short And Soft

Sometimes a Feyline's appearance may be disappointing, due to the expectations of having elves as ancestors. They tend to be on the shorter side, at around 4'' to 5'', rarely ever hitting 6''. However, their hair, ears and tail are very soft. It's the most likeable part of the Feyline. They still retain some of the natural beauty of elves, though their faces tend to be more on the round side than slender.

Shortened But Still Long Life

Their lifespan has been reduced from their elvish ancestors. They live between 200 and 300 years old, but tend to stay visually young throughout.

Lively Forest Towns

The Feyline have migrated long ago to other forests, typically far away from elves when possible. Their culture tends to be quite noisy, but fun. They enjoy sparring often, hunting, and music. If a big Feyline town inhabits a forest, you'll be able to hear their celebrations from the perimeter of it. Sometimes it varies in size, and can just be a smaller village, but the liveliness doesn't change. Some of the bigger towns can be seen from a bird's eye view quite easily in the middle of the forest, but smaller Feyline villages tend to be more hidden thanks to the canopy.

 Their songs always are written in elvish, but they typically just speak Common between themselves. Unless they want to have a discreet conversation when a foreigner is there.

Exploration and Adventure

Feylines love exploring and thrilling adventures. A lot of the regular citizens enjoy leaving their towns for long periods of time to visit bigger cities, ruins, mountains, you name it. The thrill for adventure is there, and once they're set on something good luck changing their mind! Some smaller groups of 5 or more enjoy a nomad life, where they visit city to city, occasionally stopping by Feyline towns to celebrate with their kin.

 

Feyline Names

Feyline have dropped the concept of child names entirely. They keep an elvish nature to their name, but they often end up being more casual, sometimes more tabaxian. Their family names however keep their Elvish roots entirely.
