Homebrew Falseborne Human Species Details

"Whose the oddest bloke I've met? Hmm... Hard to say, but if I had to pick just one, I would pick Valen, or at least thats the name he gave me. He was an odd bloke, he didn't seem quite right, like his arms were just that lil bit too long, or his smile was too wide. Oh right! this guy also had this strange blank look into his eyes, like he could stare right through your soul and see what you truly were. Ya, he was just like that. Later that day, we heard some scuffling in an alley, and in there was Valen and a mugger, however it wasn't Valen who was in trouble, it was the mugger. Valen held the guy in the air by his hair, and your remember how I said his arms were a bit longer than normal? Well, his arms were right then and there longer than his whole body, just holding the guy by his hair. And what happened afterwards, lets say you really dont want to find out."

Falseborne are the manifestation of the dominant species fear of the uncanny. The way they're born is unknown, but when they are born they are known to replace children of other species. They can be identified by features abnormal to the specific race they mimic, such as far too long limbs, a jaw that can open far. too wide, and an abnormally blank stare. Even though they are a manifestation of the fear of the uncanny, they are still like you and me, they are heavily influenced by their enviornments, so if they are raised like humans, they will behave like humans. But they will always know their true nature. They are also capable of manipulating their physical forms, to either look like others or to extend their limbs such as arms, fingers, legs and neck far longer than they should. They are also stronger than they look as well.

They are the manifestation of fear, to remind those at the top that their status could be revoked in the snap of a finger.
