Homebrew Faun Species Details
"Listen, son, Fauns are just like you and I. They build, they destroy, they love, they hate. The only difference is... They really don't like tile floors." His son stared questioningly, "Hooves. No traction."
Cow ears and tails, horns and legs like a goat separate Fauns from humans; as well as their predisposition. These Fey-ancestry humanoids are light-hearted and prone to taking it easy in the day and partying hard all night.
History and Society
History is vague as to how exactly Fauns came to the world. Some Fauns are adamant that they descended from the High Sidhe Fey, or their ancestors were given their form by them as a reward for deeds done. Those who hate Fauns generally claim they were made through a magic-aided pairing of man and beast, though that's unlikely. Where they agree, though, is that Fauns must have some human heritage to look so much like them. They were some of the first civilized peoples, and their empires stretched all over the Planescape at a time; though that was very long ago.
Fauns are generally curious folk, with a common fascination with magic and ruins. Adventurers are common enough though not any more than their human companions, and find themselves naturally attracted to being rangers, druids, and rogues.
Though they have a reputation for being wild partiers and free of inhibitions, Fauns are like most other races and just enjoy having a good time. Their light-hearted disposition can get them in trouble though and it's something they're cautioned against as children.
Faun Names
Faun names are generally nature-inspired, borrowed from other races, or go by nicknames or earned names. Name changes are typical when a Faun comes of age, to better reflect them as a person.
