Homebrew Ghoul Species Details

What was once human, lost to radiation, you're no stranger to scrutiny from your fellow man. 

"With silver-bells and cockleshells and… Boy, you are dumb, aren’t you? Severe radiation. That’s how. How do you think? You know, many bombs go boom, flash of light and heat, flesh burns off, but you don’t-quite-die-type severe radiation?" -Wooz

Desecrating Bodies

Although humans are all different and unique, their deranged cousins the ghouls aren't as diverse. Most sport little to no hair with faces resembling that of rotting flesh. Their voices sound like sandpaper and most have a very crude sense of humor. 

Not Just A Stereotype

Despite the stereotype, many ghouls aren't actually as crude as they appear to be. Because underneath their sizzling and irradiated skin, is still a human at heart. One of the more "famous" kind-hearted ghoul would be John Hancock, mayor of Goodneighbor.

Ghouls reach "maturity" at 18 years but can live upwards of 200 years. Granted, this "race" has only existed for 200 years. 

Alignment

Although Ghouls tend to lean more towards chaotic or evil alignments, being related to humans makes them very versatile and a bit of a wild card.
