Homebrew Aja Homebrew Species Details

When wandering a old forest be aware, and look out for any creature that resembles humans. Chances are you might stand face to face with an ancient protecter who wont hesitate to use you as fertilizer as soon you start acting hostile against the forest in its presence. Though it wont mind you hunting as long all of the creature is used, hunting for sports though, is not something you should do in its presence.

Born from the Forrest 
Aja is a creature that resembles humans though totally different in their mindset and construction. Aja’s are nurtured from flower seed and start their growth as a normal plant no different than the others around, at one point when the Aja seed is around five years old their core will start to develop. This core is created from amber and resembles a heart in shape and function. The creation of the core takes roughly ten years, once completed vines will begin to grow from it and form a simple muscle structure. Another 15 years will pass and Aja's body is almost complete, in this state it resembles a human without skin with green pulsing muscles. The last and shortest state can now proceed, the muscles will start to grow a thin skin looking bark that envelopes the Aja, making them almost indistinguishable from humans, after this state they are officially done growing and can be considered fully conscious creatures. Soon after the skin has been developed they start to grow hair that has any color that you can find in nature, the same goes for their eyes and skin.
