Homebrew Geppetin Species Details

Physically, Geppetin are quite small, often slightly shorter than Halflings. Their physical features vary greatly from type to type, but they are almost always humanoid in shape. For simplicity, Geppetin are classified by the materials by which they are composed: Bisque are porcelain, Marionettes are wood. and Raggedy are made of fabric. 

Despite being made of somewhat flimsy materials, sentience seems to grant them an odd hardiness. Due to their non-living nature, they never hunger, rarely tire, and are adept at being innocuous. Most find some form of work or professions in entertainment, but a few find fantastic success as spies and assassins. 

Charming. Yet Uncanny

Though they bring joy to children, Geppetin instill a very deep and unsettling fear in adults, especially once the realization that something that is inanimate is indeed alive sets in. A persons initial reaction to a Geppetin are the most telling and can be divided usually into two camps: Those who find the Geppetin delightful, and are reminded of fond childhood memories, and those that are gripped with the unsettling phobia, feeling a chill and breaking out into cold sweats upon seeing a doll move of its own accord. 

Geppetin Names

Like other constructs, Geppetin rarely name themselves. Typically, a construct has no conception that living creatures obsessively name everything and have a name bestowed upon them- in this case, Geppetin are normally named by Children or are given terms of endearment by adults. 

Names: Birdie, Cuddles, Desmond, Dusty, Hobbes, Fluffy (ie), Frowny, Lizzie, Patches, Princess, Pup-Pup, Red Jacket, Teddy
