Homebrew Foxkin Species Details
Foxkin are a strange breed of creature. Shrewd traders, secretive and reclusive, they have not bothered any race. Although, I feel that they have earned themselves a terrible reputation for being nothing but thieves. Their padded feet and yellow eyes are tools that are difficult not to take advantage of.
Yet, despite all the rumours, everyone can understand what Foxkin truly are. People who hate conflict and refuse to take sides. Hiding themselves in cruel mountains or lifeless wastes, these creatures seek peace in harsh enviroments. However, be warned, if forced into a fight, the Foxkin will fight tooth and claw!
Compared to the rest of the world, the Foxkin have remained relatively hidden. Originating in Southern deserts, these creatures found their way North and took to the mountains. With slender frames, these reclusive people dig better than they mine, living in crude caves rather than the brilliant kingdoms similar to the Dwarves. Living in such environments has kept them out of conflict, as they are nowhere near the greatest battles. It helps that they have no desire to take from other races nor do they have anything worth taking.
Foot and Fur
Foxkin certainly don't tower over Humans, a race they often trade with if the need arises. Most Foxkin stand in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 feet, although the tallest Foxkin known, Samuel the Slender, stood as tall as 6.7 feet. Carried on springy legs with similar anatomy to their animal side, the fox, the Foxkin are also covered in fur of similar colour. Most Foxkin being a warm brown, broken by white, black and/or grey, Foxkin can also be as white as snow or as vibrant as fire.
Mostly Peaceful
Foxkin, being mostly reclusive, have few interactions with other races. If the need arises, the race will trade with another, generally Humans. Yet, most interactions with another race are largely negative. Many Foxkin who left their homes in the mountains or desert end up becoming thieves. Never going as far as becoming a bandit, these thieves are known to burglarize homes in the night. With their sharp eyes, keen eyes and fleet feet, these thieves make quick getaways if they are ever caught.

Foxkin tend to lean towards neutral. Being a non-confrontational race most of the time, the Foxkin often avoids taking sides. Yet, many have been swayed by other races to act more chaotically or lawfully. Generally, this is during their childhood, in the first decade of their life.
