Homebrew Vulcanian Species Details

Vulcanians are a rare occurrence and usually bring either extremely good or absolutely terrible omens. They say their very existence is both a blessing from the god's but also a curse due to their strange natures. They are often confused as some sort of weird combination of dragonborn and wolf, dawning the draconic features yet being completely covered in fur. Having a set of wolf ears and carrying two tails between their legs, these creatures are often hunted and on the brink of extinction. These creatures are curious by nature, but their hunted status forbids them from mingling in the worlds affairs. With no actual home they are scattered across the world, most of the times by themselves. 

Without an actual home the Vulcanians roam the lands remaining hidden and avoiding big cities. While cloaked they may help a small town doing small chores or getting rid of a monster and during this they will never reveal there true identity. They often travel alone and almost never meet their brethren in their entire lifetime. During these times they try to ensure themselves by aiding travelers in hopes of finding a group who will accompany them. Most Vulcanian know however this is a lost cause, as their used often for enslavement. Due to this, they often hide their real names to those they meet and change it quiet frequently in order to not be remembered.

They don't like to mingle in others affairs unless it's for their own survival, but sometimes their nature gets the better of them. You can use the following tables to customize your character in addition to the trait, ideal, bond, and flaw from your background.
