Homebrew Demi-God of Shumer Species Details

 

Divine Bloodline

Demi-gods are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their divine heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Demi-gods born in Shumer have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle’s, and some spiral upward like an antelopes’ horns. Horns are a sign of power and god-hood among the uŋ saŋ gi ga. They may have thick leonine tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are solid colors—black, red, white, silver, or gold—with no visible sclera or pupil. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but tend to be dark. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is always dark, from black or brown.
