Homebrew Lupine(Wolf-Folk) Species Details

Strong Minds, Lean Builds

Lupine look human in general shape and build. They stand around five and a half to six feet tall, with male Lupine being a few inches taller. They are not very muscular, but have a lean build. They have wolf-shaped heads, with low hanging tails that match the fur that lines their bodies. The fur on their bodies tends to be a bit thicker than other beastfolk due to their acclimation for northern climates. Their fur color is various, but generally turns grey as they get older.
Lupine like quality clothes that are well-maintained and free of blemishes. Even those who live solitary lives keep their clothing in good order and actually view those with soiled clothing with mild disdain, viewing orderly apparel as the first step to perfecting the self.
Lupine are most strongly affiliated with the Herodotans and most of them make their home in Temperate Forests, though a respectable number of Lupine can be found in Mountains and the Tundras from Forgotten Realms.

Quiet and Calculating

Lupine Though quiet in speech, Lupine are not afraid to speak their mind when it is needed. They simply wait for the right moment, when they know their words and ideas will have the most value. It's not uncommon for people to quiet themselves to allow a Lupine  to speak. This lends them a cunning air, with a calm that exudes a serene outlook. This, in turn, gives them mixed relations with different people. Sages and scholars relish the opportunity to discuss the matter of great import with Lupine, but those with simpler minds or a more oblivious outlook find them stuffy and arrogant.

The Pursuit of Perfection

Lupine are driven to improve themselves through intense mental pursuits. They have a grasp over simple magical and mental skills at the very least, and the pursuit of greater skills in these areas inevitably will draw Lupine away from home to seek a life of adventure. Though leaving their family and former life is not something they do lightly, seeking the greatest of the world's magic is too enticing for a Lupine to pass up, and that exceptional Lupine who leave home are usually encouraged to leave to pursue the perfection of their art.

Names

A Lupine name is a rite of passage. A special ceremony is held to give a young wolf their name when they are old enough to finally help provide food and protection for the clan. As such, their names are neither male, nor female as to not show favor to either sex.
