Homebrew Babuki (Organic Metal People) Species Details

Description

A Babuki's skin is a pitch black, almost etched hexagonal patterns in the skin with a soft metallic sheen to it. The skin stretches as if it were flesh, twisting and bending before reforming back to it's resting position. Long thin strands of the metal grow from their head like hair, filled with vocal cords, it takes years to grow a full head of hair, it is often a point of pride to Babuki to have long hair.

The Babuki have a smooth shaped mask of bone upon their face, most do not cover the mouth or are two separate pieces to allow for jaw movement. Each one is unique to the individual, and prevents expression, as such Babuki often express themselves with sounds. Although some willing break the mask up so that they may start to express themselves with weak facial muscles.
