Homebrew Necron Species Details

"There are few enemies that can best the Necrontyr and I am ashamed to admit boredom is the hardest to combat." - Trazyn the Infinite 

 

Necrons are a non-magical people of otherworldly origin, living in the world but not entirely part of it. Necrons entertain artistry, music and poetry, and the most interesting the world has to offer.

Slender and Metallic

With their unearthly figure and sharp features, Necrons appear hauntingly menacing to humans and members of many other races. They are taller than humans, ranging from around 7 feet tall to just over 8 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing 280 to 300 pounds.

Necron coloration encompasses the normal metallic range and also includes shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, eyes like glowing gems. They favour elegant carving, bright colours, and they enjoy jewellery.

A Timeless Perspective

Necrons can live billions of years and if untouched it is possible for them to be infinite, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, Necrons can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends but quick to enemies, and never forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.

 

Enterprise and Reclamation

Necrons take up adventuring out of greed for their once great land. Since they are so long-lived, they can perceive millennia of exploration and discovery. They dislike the pace of mortal society, which is regimented from day to day but constantly changing over decades, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace. Necrons also enjoy exercising their martial prowess or gaining greater technological power, and adventuring allows them to do so.

HAUGHTY BUT PASSIVE

Although they can be haughty, Necrons are generally passive even to those who fall short of their high expectations—which is most mortal species. Still, they can find an allie in just about anyone.
