Homebrew Canto Species Details

Canto tend to get along with other humanoid races.

Parallel Dimension Humanoid Origin

Canto are derived from humanoid breeding, and in the broadest possible sense, they still are humanoid. However, their parallel dimension humanoid heritage due to being offspring of Humanoids has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Canto animal ears and tails of varying colors.

Adaptive & Adventurous

Canto subsist in averages found mostly in cities or towns, often in the nicer quarters of those places, where they grow up to be couriers, adventurers, or tavern/inn owners. Are able to be quite strong, and can have a starting addition of levels 11 to 16 minimum as an option.

With their homeland of a parallel dimension called Zorkash, Canto know that they have to make their own way in the world and that they have to be advance to adaptive. They are less quick to trust anyone, but when a Canto's companions demonstrate that they trust him or her as a friend, the Canto learns to extend the same trust to them. And once a Canto gives someone loyalty, the Canto is a firm friend or ally for life. Normally wary of others that might want to injure or take their ears and tails.
