Homebrew Duro Species Details
The duroes are small, bird-like creatures with white feathers, short legs, and are almost always wielding a large shield made of branches and leaves, and a lance made of stalk and roots.
Kings of Adapting
Each duro has a type of plant linked directly to their souls, that they can craft into a weapon with ease. The duroes' evolutionary prowess is also second to none, due to the ancient power of Leeking, which allows every duro to use the powers of the duroes that came before. They live in large societies that are prideful of their abilities and ancestors, and take great offence to anyone who insult their lineage or prowess. They will duel people to the death over an insult to a parental member, but remain very stoic and even jubilant when in peace. The duro often try to keep there cool, but the duro that snap easily usually become stronger, so duroes will often duel as a normal part of society.
Duro Names
Duroes make their names based off of two things: the first being that their first name is a title, while their last name is ancient name, usually made to be a pun with their title, but kept by all further generations until a new community is set up, where the head duro makes a new name that will be carried on.
