Homebrew Cinder Species Details
The cinder's creation was one born out of intensified pacifism, curious experimentation, and the desire to push the minds of their creators, the githzerai. Holed up in the chaos of Limbo, the githzerai monks started to experiment with the limits of the plane, and started working towards a goal of sentient creation. The goal was to create a race that could preserve the life of the githzerai, by fabricating existence for the intent of protection.
The cinder do not suffer a lot of the same drawbacks as other sentient creatures, their bodies are formed for the brimstone of Limbo and given form through intense chaos. They have to constantly reconstruct their own being to make sure they don't fall apart. A normal creature would have their muscles sore after a long day of exertion, but a cinder would start to feel their own vitality being torn open. They don't sleep as their masters would, instead they take time in the day to mentally reset and strike balance in their souls.
