Homebrew Wolf Fang Species Details

Appearance: 

They have strong physiques and thick hair, but their overall impressions are not so different from Humans. However, their appearances change when they're in a state of tension, like battles: Animal-like ears and tail appear, and their eye colors also change on instinct. Wolf-Fang can choose whether to have their traits hidden, or always on, except when in battle. Despite the name of the race itself, not all Wolf-Fang are from wolf decent. The Wolf-Fang are an artificial race made by ancient humans to help in past wars against the Goliaths. The Wolf-Fang are named as such because the first one created was based off of the wolf. Later, many Fang were created based off of other animals until the end of the war. Once the war was over most fang decided to live in human cities while others started living in tribes in the wilderness.They are about 4’7”- 6’5” tall, and weighed about 110-264 lbs at adulthood. Colorings of their stiff hair are mostly black, grey, or red. Skin colors are mostly yellow-white, reddish-brown, or brown. Eyes have the characteristic color like gold or ruby-colored.

Society:

One of the features of Fang culture is a rigid hierarchical relationship by seniority. Positions like head of the family, unit commander, chief of the tribe have the great power, and are respected. Strong sense of responsibility and the awareness as leader are required for these positions; leaders try very hard to live up to expectations. Even in large cities, they tend to form their own small groups.In the countryside, there are some villages made up completely of Fangs. However, they are not exclusive and can have relationships with other races without any problems. They have especially strong relationship with humans; sometimes, human nobles appoint competent Fang to the responsible persons of military affairs.

Modern Fang:

Fang can still use their aptitude for nature and high physical ability to make a living as soldiers, mercenaries, hunters, lumberjacks, bodyguards, and so on. They also are skillful at industries like farming, collecting, or fishery. 

In The Wild:

Since most Fang can withstand harsh environments, they sometimes form their villages in precipitous mountains, the depths of dense forest, deserts, and other unexpected unexplored regions and frontiers. As a result, these villagers are high-leveled for Landers, and often have special knowledge and techniques that aren't generally known. You might be able to relate to their secret knowledge as a Player character.
