Homebrew Bladenoid Species Details

Bladenoid is a race that has a humanoid like body but isn't human. It is clear from their more broader appearance and facial features for men the women are slightly slimmer. With their Eternal blades being an extension of their body. They can have them stick out from any part of their body head, arms ,legs and feet as a weapon usually like a sword, dagger or even claws from their fingers as nails. Very few have been able to fully control their eternal blades enough to model them into an axe like shape stretching from the side of their wrist to arch to the side of their shoulder or from their legs stretching from their the back of the ankle to just under their Femur on the back or from the front of the ankle to the front of the femur. Even more rare being able to fire them out like Javelins or arrow/bolts. The blades to if get snapped off or break regrow and comeback even sharper. Bladenoid's tend to be more as a race together on the Chaotic Neutral side when it comes to issues but can stray to whatever they see fit. Some of their customs are rather different such as they tend to wear Hats with blades or just unique ones of different types on their head players choice if they wear one or not and bird like masks over their face like a masquerade mask colors of masks very on individuals taste. At birth being brought up in the art of learning how to using their eternal blades, They as teenagers to adults can have monthly Sparing matches but must only fight their blades and not any forged weapons. They strongly dislike anyone who is a true Bladenoid using man made weapons as them. The individual will be ridiculed as they see no reason; When the body is your weapon and your mind is your wits on how you use them and mold to you magic is fine that is considered you inner abilities and another extension of you. Their Average life span can range between 280 to 300 years and are normally around 5'6 to 5'10.
