Homebrew Gingerbread Person Species Details

A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where gingerbread people form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. gingerbread people take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and play.

Vibrant Expression

A gingerbread person’s energy and enthusiasm for living shines through every inch of his or her tiny body. gingerbread people average slightly over 3 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Their tan or brown faces are usually adorned with broad smiles (beneath their prodigious noses), and their bright eyes shine with excitement. Some gingerbread have hair and others dont but those who do love there hair and take care of the vibrant colors it could be. A gingerbread ’s personality is writ large in his or her appearance. A gingerbread ’s clothing, though usually made in modest earth tones, is elaborately decorated with embroidery, embossing, or gleaming jewels.

Delighted Dedication

As far as gingerbread people are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, and they squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of their three to five centuries of life. Humans might wonder about getting bored over the course of such a long life, and elves take plenty of time to savor the beauties of the world in their long years, but gingerbread people seem to worry that even with all that time, they can’t get in enough of the things they want to do and see.

gingerbread people speak as if they can’t get the thoughts out of their heads fast enough. Even as they offer ideas and opinions on a range of subjects, they still manage to listen carefully to others, adding the appropriate exclamations of surprise and appreciation along the way.

Though gingerbread people love jokes of all kinds, particularly puns and pranks, they’re just as dedicated to the more serious tasks they undertake. Many gingerbread people are skilled engineers, alchemists, tinkers, and inventors. They’re willing to make mistakes and laugh at themselves in the process of perfecting what they do, taking bold (sometimes foolhardy) risks and dreaming large.

Seeing the World

Curious and impulsive, gingerbread people might take up adventuring as a way to see the world or for the love of exploring. As lovers of gems and other fine items, some gingerbread people take to adventuring as a quick, if dangerous, path to wealth. Regardless of what spurs them to adventure, gingerbread people who adopt this way of life eke as much enjoyment out of it as they do out of any other activity they undertake, sometimes to the great annoyance of their adventuring companions.

ALWAYS APPRECIATIVE

It’s rare for a gingerbread  to be hostile or malicious unless he or she has suffered a grievous injury. gingerbread people know that most races don’t share their sense of humor, but they enjoy anyone’s company just as they enjoy everything else they set out to do.
