Homebrew Algastora Species Details

Algastora a direct descendant of the Fey,  who left the Feywild in protest and lost their immortality as a result. After leaving the Feywild the Algastora found a home deep in the icy caves of Stygia the fifth hell. They spend Long years in the caves, only leaving to find a mate once they mature. When this occurs both males and females leave and spread throughout the realms doing whatever they please until they meet a suitable mate. Algastora are typically Chaotic neutral following their own will, while doing anything required to follow it. They have evolved to mature after living hundreds of years where they spend their time learning and researching the Wise-men's art (+2 Choose Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma)(+1 Wisdom). Their large size allows for a large amount of health (+1 Constitution) whilst not being maneuverable (-1 Dexterity).

 

Algastora Traits

Algastora are direct descendants of the fey but they have no similar aspects in appearance. Instead of having slender bodies Algastora are built strong with muscular bodies. During the early stages of their life they spend centuries reading, developing new magic and researching existing magic thus becoming very intelligent and wise.

Physical Characteristics

The Algastorian race evolved from fey (who ranged from 3" to 5" to 3' to 5') to the strong, tall, bulky, muscular physique that they are known for. Algastora reach their "mature" height of 7' 6" early on in their lives, roughly at the age of 200 years old. Their "mature" weight is roughly 450 pounds, their weight is almost all muscle which allows for a very cut physique. Despite having a cut physique they are very bulky, that 400 pounds of muscle has to go somewhere and it goes out, creating very broad shoulders and very thick legs.

 

Age

The Algastora live close to a millennium and a half and although they are considered "physically mature" at the age of 200 years they are considered mentally mature when they reach the bright age of 700 years old, which is when they leave the icy caves of Stygia to find a mate.  Algastora typically return to the caves with their mate centuries after they leave, where they live the remainder of their lives creating a family and passing down their attained wisdom and the teachings of the previous generation. The Algastorian race is slow when it comes to gaining population as one generation is considered to be 1,200 years.

 

Dark Vision

As Algastora live the greater portion of their lives in the caves under stygia they developed exquisite eye site. This is until they started to spend the majority of their life researching and creating new magic, over the past thousands of years their eye sight has degraded to the bear minimum (30 Dark Vision). 

 

Personality
