Homebrew Axani Species Details
While Tieflings carry the essence of the evil planes and Aasimars carry the essence of the good planes, Axani carry the essence of the lawful planes. Unlike Tieflings and Aasimar, who can be found throughout the material plane regularly, Axanis rarely leave Mechanus, preferring the ordered bureaucracy and clockwork machinations to the differing opinions of mankind and fleeting emotions of elves.
Axani look similar to humans and even share the same spectrum of skin colours, with the occasional Axani sporting metallic brass, copper, and bronze skin colours, but typically stand a foot taller with longer pointed ears and glowing eyes. They also sport glowing lines all over their skin that can look like circuitry, geometric patterns or mathematical equations.
Axani tend to be methodical and patient, always thinking before acting, weighing the full consequences of choices before making a decision, but they are not emotionless, merely expressionless.
