Homebrew Emotari Species Details

The Emotari take on humanoid forms, but their figures are semi-ethereal, resembling shadowy silhouettes. They appear as if they are made of mist or smoke, but their humanoid shape is still clearly discernible. Their body is defined despite it being physical to the touch, almost as though they are not even a spirit. The edges of their form tend to flicker and blur, with some areas appearing slightly translucent, while others may seem thicker and more solid, depending on their dominant emotion.

The Emotari are often perceived as young in appearance, typically resembling children or teens, with delicate features that suggest innocence or vulnerability. Their eyes and mouths are starkly defined with glowing white or pale features. Their eyes are luminous, glowing faintly with an intensity that shifts based on their mood—sometimes shining like bright stars, or dimming to a soft, melancholic glow. Though they have mouths they cannot physically speak so they use telepathy to communicate. This makes them unable to use verbal spells. Their lips and nose are often present in a simplistic, almost featureless way, and they may appear as though their face is gently sculpted out of the shadows themselves.

Their clothing is typically nonexistent, as their bodies are clothed only in the misty, vaporous form of their being. Some Emotari may appear to have clothing or markings made of swirling light, but this is merely an extension of their ethereal nature, constantly shifting and changing with their emotions. When they move, they glide or float with an eerie grace, leaving faint trails of soft light or shadow in their wake.

Their forms are often described as unsettlingly pure, childlike, and serene, but with an aura of constant emotional intensity, which can shift dramatically depending on the situation.The magic that made them can only be used by them and not drawn out.
