Homebrew Half Elf (Drow, and Tcho-Tcho) Species Details

Tcho-Tcho are relatives of humans that have been altered by the meddling of the Great Old Ones. They have an alien mindset compared to mundane humans and several subtle physiological differences. For more information on TchoTcho, Tcho-Tcho adventurers are exceptional. Like most of their kin, they are selfless for the sake of the group and travel and fight in order to find ways to assist their clan. They seek to do this in ways best suited to their skills and abilities, and for certain Tcho-Tcho, this means a life of adventure. An adept treasure seeker might serve the clan by discovering valuable and potent relics, while a rogue might infiltrate and undermine current or potential rivals of the clan. Some Tcho-Tcho reject the intensely xenophobic tenets of their culture, often after observing other ways of living, and adventure to find their own way in a world that hates and fears them. Even if they no longer want anything to do with the toxic culture of their origin, all but the most violently rebellious or distant of good-aligned Tcho-Tcho can expect regular communication from their clans. Clans view even wayward members as part of the family, and expect them to do whatever is within their power to further the family’s schemes and protect family interests. Even if a renegade member declares the family’s goals or methods immoral, the family typically views the outburst as a petty affectation. Eventually, the member’s refusal to do
reprehensible deeds results in a cessation of trust: instead, the resentful family merely demands the passing along of intelligence or the destruction of evil mutual enemies. A Tcho-Tcho who categorically refuses to help in any way is targeted for assassination if deemed a liability.

 

Drow ( ), also known as dark elves,deep elves, night elves, or sometimes "The Ones Who Went Below" on the surface, were a dark-skinned sub-race of elves that predominantly lived in the Underdark. They were hated and feared due to their cruelty,  though some non-evil and an even smaller number of good drow existed
