Homebrew Oozekin Species Details
“When you stare at it long enough, in it’s round, smooth face, you can see an abyss beneath, vibrantly coloured, and hungering for so much more than the blank expression on the outside. The Oozekin, are an ambitious people, and one I see doing great things, if it weren’t for their royalty.”
-Mizyandier, ‘The Gelid Faction’
People like a crude imitation of humanoids, the Oozekin are an uncommon race, living quietly in their communities, with only the odd adventurer roving out to explore. Living indefinitely, and being able to consume just short of anything for their diet, Oozekin are offered very similar positions as normal Ooze; Guards, Traps, and Disposal.
A Wide-Stretched People
Oozekin vary extremely, being anywhere from well under 4 feet, to just over 8 feet tall, with their weight being just as wide, the lightest being around 45 pounds, to the heaviest at around 400 pounds. Resembling hair, Oozekin usually have a sheet of slime on their head, being coloured differently from their core ooze, Usually a secondary colour (such as orange, magenta, cyan, ect.). Their main body, called their ‘core ooze’, is usually a primary colour (such as yellow, red, green, ect.), and vary between how bright or dark. Both their ‘hair’ and core ooze is somewhat transparent, some species being just shy of completely see-through.
Age, for an Oozekin, is no big thing, as if they keep good care of themselves, they can live possibly forever, the oldest one recorded having lived long before history had first ever been tracked. But, living indefinitely doesn’t mean being a kid forever, as they are considered adults after a century of being alive, and mature on their 150th year.
Oozekin Kingdoms
In Oozekin Culture, there’s 3 major sects, The Oozekin Royalty (sometimes referred to as ‘the crown’), Their Knights, and The Oozekin populace. This group is called a Kingdom, regardless of size, as long as the hierarchy is in place, otherwise it is simply a gathering of Oozekin. The Royalty is the ultimate power in their societies, with all other Oozekin referring to them, or their appointed knights, for orders.
Oozekin Royalty are usually interested in adventuring, wanting to split off from family and form their own kingdoms, their knights following behind, or being sent out on a quest by royalty. A normal Oozekin rarely becomes an adventurer, wishing to live simple lives in service to their crown.
Oozekin Names
While most Oozekin rarely receive names in the first place, they do have naming conventions. When Oozekin Royalty notice the particular actions of one of their subjects, they are named either similarly to what that action was, or are given a shorthand.
Oozekin outside of their kingdoms, usually give themselves names, sounding sylvan or elvish, though not having any roots in the language. Here are a handful of examples:
Titles: Vision, Siege, Harvest, Stone, Warrior
Male Names: Quin, Erreis, Uvanafier, Ulin, Morrin
Female Names: Eyna, Aris, Oeifal, Ykalwas
