Homebrew Faerol Species Details

"Many say the folks in Arensin are the last of the Faerol... not me though," the man pause to take a drink from a tankard. "Nosiree, I believe there's more of 'em out there. Probably at the far reaches westwards past the maps boarders.”

Fuzzy Friends

With their large almond-shaped eyes, peach fuzz covered skin and intricate wooden antlers, the Faerol have many features other races consider cute yet elegant. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 4 and a half feet tall to just over 6 feet. Their bones are stronger but less dense than humans as well, weighing only 95 to 130 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.

Faerol skin usually come in tones of light pink, creme, and white but also come in various shades of orange and brown. Their hair comes in bright pastel colors as well as the normal human hair colors, as well as silver. Their eyes are large and almond shaped and their irises normally come in hues of amber and green. Their fingernails and toenails come in a opaque black color. Most Faerol don't have facial hair other than the lightly colored peach fuzz that covers their entire body, however, some have been known to grow a thick goatee. Faerol normally wear a swath of flowwy and breathable clothes that come in a variety of light or bright colors... oh and jewelry, they love shiny bits.

Joyous Campanions

Faerol lifespans go anywhere from 250 years to 400 years. They are very excited and love to play games and even sing and dance. Most things don't get under a Faerols skin but that doesn't mean they aren't immune to anger. Life to the Faerol is a party that everyone is invited to, they are kind and generous but slow to trust. Many would offer you food and shelter but wouldn't be inclined to do much more for you until you have a earned strong bond with them.

Most Faerol see every aspect in life as some sort of game. They're always looking to gamefy everything from the most laborest of work to the simplest of household chores. Faerol have a lot of energy and get antsy if they don't let it out so they're always dancing and moving, even in their sleep they toss and turn. 

 

Exploration and Adventure

Faerol take up adventuring out of wanderlust. They're always looking for shiny bits and new lands to play in. They aren't the fondest of the no fun attitude that most human cities have, which is rooted in hard work and cutthroat attitudes, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace. Faerol also enjoy exercising their mental agility by solving the puzzles and mysteries they come across, and adventuring allows them to do so. Some might join with rebels fighting against oppression, and some just want to bring the joy of games and art to the ruffian life of the other races.

PLAYFUL AND WISE

Although they can be playful, Faerol are generally wise about the people they meet. Though a compliment is appreciated, most Faerol meet kind words with optimistic caution.
