Homebrew Arcoi (Living Warforged) Species Details

 

Once upon a time in a world of magic, there existed a race of constructs known as the Arcoi. They were made of a unique combination of materials, including crystal, wood, and various natural substances, each one with a distinct appearance and abilities. Unlike most other constructs, the Arcoi possessed a magical core that required them to eat and drink in order to continue functioning. In addition to their need to eat and drink, they also required air to breathe in order to keep their magical cores active.

The Arcoi were created by a group of powerful enchanters, who sought to imbue the constructs with a connection to nature and a sense of life. The enchanters believed that by giving the Arcoi a need for sustenance and air, they would be able to better connect with the world around them, and learn to appreciate the gift of existence.

At first, the Arcoi struggled to adapt to their new way of life. They found the need to eat, drink, and breathe to be an inconvenience, and many of them resented their creators for giving them such flaws. However, over time, they learned to appreciate the taste of natural foods and drinks, and they began to feel a sense of gratitude for the ability to experience the world in this way. They also learned to enjoy the refreshing sensation of breathing in fresh air, and found that it helped to rejuvenate their magical cores.
