Homebrew Dark Figure Species Details

Dark figures are creatures made up of darkness and magical essence, they tend to look shadow like and can many humanoid forms. The most common being a shadowed man. They look pitch black almost reflecting no light. The only light you can see them is the whites of their eyes and mouths. Some dark figures don't have mouths and speak through different ways, while others don't have visible eyes. Despite their looks dark figures tend to be nice to be around, despite the scary aura they can give off. Many races unjustly hate these creatures even though only some dark figures tend to dwell in the darkest of magic. Their history remains unknown despite being one of first races to ever exist in the Universe. They were created originally for war by an evil deity but many revolted and managed to earn their own freedom from the deity. There are some dark figures that still align themselves with evil and must be looked out for.
