Homebrew Phaskolar Species Details
Sitting in the crook of a tree branch, bathed in the starlight of the open plain, a fuzzy creature sits dreaming. The winding road within its subconscious is filled with visions past, present, and future. It consults the collective subconscious of the natural world, and when it wakes, the path before it becomes clearer. In the morning, it collects its walking staff, stuffs an armful of leaves into a sack slung over its shoulder, and begins its journey once again...
Hardy Wanderers
Phaskolar are dreamers and wanderers, known for long naps and longer journeys. Their small stature aids them in staying safe and hidden, whether on the road or while sleeping in trees. The average phaskolar stands about 3 feet tall, and weighs about 25 to 30 pounds, light enough to aid them in climbing.
Phaskolar are covered in soft fur, commonly a silvery gray but on occasion a ruddy red or chocolate brown. They have dark, broad noses, small black or brown eyes, and large ears, covered in long fluffy fur. They aren’t known for extravagance in clothing or expression when on the road, preferring simple coverings that don’t restrict movement, though when they eventually find the place they are meant to settle, they tend to develop their own style.
Searching with Purpose
Where a Phaskolar is from is nowhere near as important to them as where they are going. Phaskolar are born with an instinctive desire to seek. They believe that their lives are meant to e spent in pursuit of something; finding a place to call home, finding a family, or a greater cause or purpose. Phaskolar take to the open road in search of these aspirations, whether alone or with friends and allies made along the way.
When a Phaskolar finds what it is looking for, it commits to it with every fiber of its being and tries hard to be the best. Phaskolar homeowners keep immaculate households, Phaskolar parents are loving and wise, Phaskolar scholars are experts in their fields. Phaskolar are often obsessive to a fault in their particular journey's end, and often neglect other aspects of heir lives in order to devote more time and energy to their cause.
