Homebrew Aramatians Species Details

Nature of Aramatians

Aramatians are well-known for their beautiful appearance; they are very tall, yet they weigh very little. Aramatians have several traits seen in Humans, Tieflings, and a long-lost species of Half-Giants. Aramatians, tend to go out of their way to learn new things about the world. Aramatians believe learning new things is the reason to even exist. Aramatians are blessed with a unique intellect, yet indespite of this, they often lack patience. They tend to be curious, and have a good sense of compassion and understanding, but tend to go to extremes to protect private information, or defend historical artifacts, to prevent sources from being forgotten in history. Due to this, they may sometimes make exceptions to this for those they care about or other very specific reasons, but in this situation, consider yourself very lucky, this seldom happens. Another thing about Aramatians is that they tend to be very interested in understanding others' points of view, and diplomacy, Aramatians often state that they can see someone of the best information that the world has to offer through the words of others. Another thing that Aramatians' own curiosity seems to offer them is an extremely high energy, Aramatians are almost always ready to go out of their way to learn new things. Aramatians individuals can vary extremely, they can be sweeter than 1000 halflings but they can also be crueler than a thousand orcs. However, Aramatians tend to be kind yet reclusive.     

A tricky friend to get but the perfect friend to have

Aramatians, typically are very reclusive and shy. They tend to always shield there indiviaduality to strangers by basically pretending the only thing really special about them is there intellegence acting more like a walking encyclopedia at first. However once past this, you will never regret making friends with them cause once you have, they basically see you as family and will at least mentally see you as more important than they see themselves.  

Dragonborns. "Dragonborns are terrfying and scary. Once nice thing I could say is there respect for their kin is unparellel. But they are typically best left alone, maybe one day we maybe able to understand Dragonborns and get along with them. There's a lot of things very curious about Dragonborns, in rare cases when they finally become friends, one may discover that they have a very unique perspective of the world around them."

Gnomes. "Gnomes have a lot of energy, it is practically infectious. Very few creatures can get an Aramatian comfortable around them in less than a day, but a Gnome can. I guess it has to do with fact that we can understand their desire for adventure with our desire of learning and vice versa. They are excited to do new things and go on incredible adventures, and they live relatively long too so there is plenty of time we can spend with them. They are a lot like us, I'll be it, a three to four times smaller. But honestly that just makes them more loveable. Even if its not necessarily best to tell a gnome that, this typically depends on the Gnome in question, they make truly loyal friends." 

Humans. "It can be great growing up with a humans but after we reach adulthood with us so many genrations of them just come and go. Its such a shame really that they are limited by their short lifespan to accomplish their good. They deserve much longer lives, When humans are befriended we tend to focus full atention to their lives to make sure the short time they have will never be forgotten."  

Triple Hybrid Bloodline

Aramatians are a mix of three races that over time made a new race. These races Aramatians evolved from are Humans, Tieflings, and a long-lost race of Half-Giants. Their Half Giant Heritage makes these beings very tall, even the smallest of the Aramatians is taller than even the tallest humans. Next, let's discuss humanoid characteristics, Aramatians usually share the same skin tone as Humans, however, in rarer cases, Blue, Red, Silver, and Gold are known. The facial features of the Aramatians, and most of their physical characteristics, are astoundingly similar to human characteristics, minus their 4 horns, tail, and wings, which are believed to all come from their Tiefling Heritage. The Aramatians tend to have a strange love for dark magics, often opting for the more recognized scarier classes, but they are nonetheless usually, not evil. It is widely believed that this curiosity is a remnant of the more chaotic and dangerous nature of the Tieflings. Lastly, discussing the Half-Giant's heritage, this is seen within the Aramatian's size and extremely long lifespan. 

Evolutionary History

Aramatians came from 3 different races, as already discussed. the tiefling origin is well known, they came from a winged variant group that used to have been pretty violent, but over time, they gained an interest in peace. The Half-Giants were very different from most part giant beings, these Half-Giants lacked strength, and were typically more brainy than brawny, these Half-Giants were typically peaceful, and usually spent time observing and studying the world around them. The Humans are believed to have had an ideology so similar to the other two, that resulted in the three groups coming together, resulting in the creation of one more prominent clan almost naturally. However, other evidence suggests that this wasn't true until much later, their history suggests that these humans based their philosophy on changing their ways of life and morals on the nature and behavior of other living things that co-existed with them, but this would have been changed when these three races were forced to depend on each other due a catastrophic disaster, that of which its origin is unknown., eventually almost a hundred thousand years ago, the first recorded scriptures Aramatians, began to appear throughout the world. 

Darkside of Aramatians

Aramatians are not perfect, no race is. Aramatians, cannot tone the loss of those they love the most. Once exposed to this horror, Aramatians are well known for failing to remain stable and becoming dangerous to themselves and others. This is how a lot of chaotic evil Aramatians come to be, sometimes when nobody helps them, they will obtain a warped point of view and think they are doing good. At worst they have been known to just go on kill spree after kill spree literally to the point that they get so used to the uncontrolled emotions, they simply stop experiencing them, however rarely will they stop killing after this, old habits die hard. This has happened successfully too and some have even personally left hundreds of cities vacant of life. Another flaw has to do with their nature of willingly making themselves vulnerable to their friends, Aramatians see their closest friends as their family members, and will become a completely open book to them, this makes Aramatians extremely vulnerable to fake friends. Aramatians often die from pure madness when they fail, to prevent the destruction of important historical information.

Friend is Family

Aramatians may not be easy to make friends with, but when it comes to their closest friends, they will protect them at all costs even if it means dying a thousand times. The Aramatian belief is that their families aren't just those they are directly related to but those they got along with really well. Those that Aramatians get along with best will also be seen as the most important family member and persons in their entire life when that best friend is of a race that lives much shorter. An Aramatian will dedicate that small moment both of them are still alive together, with that person's life to miss as little as possible.
