Homebrew Half-Fey Kenku Species Details

Heightened independence and a penchant for mischief. Straddling the mortal plane and they Feywild’s influence as it sings in the veins. Half-Fey Kenku are gifted magic users allowed their sparks of creativity - though the spark is susceptible to following the influence of the fey and the Feywilds - and voices while retaining their Kenku half’s skill for mimicry. Haunted by an ancient crime that robbed them of their wings, kenku began wandering the world as vagabonds and burglars who live at the edge of human society. Suffering from a sinister reputation that is not wholly unearned. A reputation which has attracted the second half of a fruitful relationship with the fey. With the fey intrigued by the potential for mixed blood, a union is likely more for the fey's intrigue than for love. But it's never ruled out. What comes from the union is a child emboldened by fey nature and mischief, empowered by a voice all their own,  with untold potential for mischief. A rare sight to be seen.

Appearances Range

Half-Fey Kenku can range from plainly bird-like and leaning more towards their fey parent. Beak or more humanoid face depends on the dominant traits taken from their parents. But variation is not uncommon, even if finding a half-fey kenku is. Feathers are most often black, but here there can be variants as well.
