Homebrew Feelese Species Details

Feelese are deeply emotional Fey that originate from the wondrous and magical Feywild. They live in cities similar in beauty to those of the elves, graceful arches and domed rooftops. Tall-white rounded-buildings lined with blues, reds, purples, yellows, and greens fill the streets of silver. Music, dance, arguments, and fights fueled by their strong emotion are a common sight among their people.

All feelese share the same colours that represent the core emotions their society is known for; red for anger, green for disgust, purple for fear, yellow for joy, and blue for sadness. The way that the colours show in the appearance of a feelese is different for almost every individual. Though the main colours are always the same they can vary in both brightness and saturation, resulting in bright vibrant and faded pastel colours. For a feelese almost any body part can be their colour changing feature, from hair and highlights, skin tone, finger nails, eyes, and even tongues, you name it and there is probably a feelese with that part of them changing with their emotion. As for the appearance of non colour changing parts, most come in pale elf-like skin with black, brown, or a darker blond hair. The diversity in feelese does not stop there, sizes range from 3 and a half to about 6 feet. For a long time male feelese were significantly shorter than their female counterpart, though this still holds true most of the time, it is no longer uncommon to see these roles reversed.

Coming of age is a big celebration in the feelese community. Due to the longevity they don't often count specific days, instead the celebration to adulthood in the year that the feelese would become 50 years of age is celebrated with the entire community on the same day. A special day for all of the feelese that will become adults in that year. The day is called Ytrebup and is filled with a variety of games, traditional foods, and complimentary beverages. On this day the feelese also get a chance to promote any business, trade, or art that they have perfected to the entire community, bringing new opportunities for them and spreading the news far and wide of their skills.
