Homebrew Allaxee Species Details

Allaxee are a Eanic race who are third generation descendants from  Ekles of the Amorfis. They possess a human-like form with silvery skin, which they can modify to their like. Their original form usually reflects their personality.  Their shapeshifting has led to them being used as spies and assassins, which has, in turn, led to them being mistrusted amongst the people of Günaltı. However, most of them are civilized everyday people. Most of the registered allaxees  live in Gularz.

Allaxees are commonly harmless, passive people and are uninterested in politics and social affairs. Due to their capricious ways of life, however, many people have come to distrust them, which has led to them becoming social recluses or more commonly has pushed them to create fake identities to escape persecution.

In Günaltı, most of the allaxees are local inhabitants for more than a thousand year. Their culture usually reflects the cultures that surround them in their era, form their own unique perspective. Generally they like to walk in their own skins, in their original form wherever possible. However, allaxees are also well-known for their ability to easily blend in. Allaxees usually will not simply shapeshift into a new person but rather create a new whole one. Most allaxees will set up a handful of personas so if one is compromised they can disappear and switch to one of their others. Their personas are incredibly realistic and have their own personality traits, backgrounds, and a network of friends. Allaxees can be evasive and will often try to avoid confrontation or anything that will draw attention to themselves.

 While allaxees can look like anyone, they do have a true form. Their original form can be scary to some due to their lack of detail and distinctive features. Their skin tone is always silvery and fluidic gray and they tend to have slender bodies with limbs slightly longer in proportion to other humanoids. Commonly their original form reflects a porti''on of their personality and shifts without them realizing if they don't learn how to control it. They have large black eyes. Their hair color chages to whatever color and style they might like at that moment. Similar to elves, allaxees lack body and facial hair.

 It is usually very difficult or even impossible to distinguish their gender. All allaxees are in a constant cycle between genders which corresponds to their personality, age and emotions. For a reason that is still not entirely understood, allaxees are known to have a maximum of two offsprings in their lifetime.

Lifespan

Allaxees reach maturity slightly faster than humans and live around 250 years. Once they reach to their maturity they do not age.

Personality 

Most allaxees prefer to keep a low profile and often do not take passionate stances that would draw attention. However, allaxees can be of any moral stance, and often readily adapt to the culture they are raised in. Allaxees have long been persecuted by other races, seen at best as tricksters and con-artists, at worst as thieves and assassins. Since the foundation of Agola, they are accepted more as a part of the society. Therefore, they revealed more and more of their own unique cultural characteristics. Most of the  allaxees in Günaltı choose to walk around in their original form as a stance, to expose others that they are not the monsters that they perceive. Many people still find it hard to trust aAllaxees, and while their talents make them natural spies and criminals, in reality, an allaxee is just as likely as any creature to turn to good or evil. Some allaxees work hard to remove this stigma, but each time an allaxee is caught robbing from a wealthy merchant or sneaking about where they are not welcome, it only perpetuates the stereotype. Therefore, in the recent centuries, the allaxees adopted a series of laws that forbids any allaxee who is not properly trained to take part in such activities.

In general, allaxees are prudent and cautious, preferring to take risks only when they feel that their chances are good or the payoff is worth it. They appreciate the finer things in life and take great pleasure in the comforts of a wealthy lifestyle when they can obtain it. They avoid direct confrontation, preferring stealthy strikes and hasty retreats whenever possible. In conversation, they are soft-spoken but have a gift for drawing out more information than the other party usually plans to reveal.
