Homebrew Etrangekin Species Details

 My mother was always the type to be extremely paranoid. She’d never let me play with the other kids in the village and I had to be in the house almost all of the hours of the day. I basically had no childhood like any of my friends would. For the longest time, I’d never exactly know why I wasn’t given the privileges as my other friends. That was until I met my dad. My dad was... he wasn’t like my mom. He was strange, a weird guy; the type of weird guy that you’d regret meeting in an alleyway at midnight. After that I just resolved that I wouldn’t have many friends as I looked exactly like him. Which is fine I guess. Just... lonely I ‘spose.

The life of the Etrangekin is one of being stranded in a brand new world entirely foreign to their own. They as a result find it hard to adjust to any earthly society, often making it to the fringes or miraculously finding themselves in the center of it.
