Homebrew Child of Light Species Details

HISTORY

Sky Children, or known to some as Sky Kids, are said to be children from the very sky that they are named after. They fall from the heavens within shooting stars that land amongst the material plane as beings of light. People are not sure where they came from exactly and why they are here. They are innocent in nature and are known to be quite curious. Despite their small physique, they are sturdy like the hardest stone and are able to handle themselves in even the toughest of situations. Do not let their appearance fool you, a "child" may be many decades in age, having never aged a day since their fall from the heavens. Most of them are kind-hearted and willing to interact with anyone and are capable of forming friendly relationships with other people, humanoid or not.

 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Reminiscent of humanoid children these genderless beings come in many different shapes and colors but two things are common among all of them. Silver hair and radiant eyes that that match what appears to be a marquise gem centered in their forehead giving them an appearance of what seems to be three eyes at a distance.

 

NAMES

Name are not a common thing among members of this race. Instead they go through great lengths to make their appearance and personalities unique. As travelers to new planes they sometimes earn nicknames from residents which they often cling to for the duration of their stay.

 

AGE

Sky Children do not age and can live for a long time, which afterwards their bodies slowly become stone and eventually complete petrification. They can live up to 500 years.

Wings of Light

Sky Children have beautiful capes that come in many colors and styles which they can fly with like wings of a bird. You can change their appearance at will at any time, and while in combat you can change the appearance of your cape on your turn (no action required). These capes are light made tangible and are incapable of being removed through force. You have a flight speed of 30ft. Taking any damage while flying causes you to immediately fall, but can slow your descent with your wings and take only half fall damage.

and receive only simple ideas and straightforward concepts.
