Homebrew Human (Fallen Human Ver.) Species Details

Physical Description

Fallen humans are physically identical to normal humans; however, their souls are completely different. A fallen human's soul can take on one of 7 different properties: determination, patience, bravery, integrity, perseverance, kindness, or justice. Each property reflects the personality of the fallen human and gives them unique traits and abilities. The soul of a fallen human is incredibly powerful and is fully capable of persisting on the mortal plane, far after their owner's death.

History

Long ago humans and monsters lived together in harmony, but one day it was discovered that monsters had the ability to absorb human souls, and become frighteningly powerful. Humanity, despite knowing that monsters were too kind and merciful to harm anyone with this power, attacked them out of fear. During the short-lived "War of Humans and Monsters," humanity slaughtered countless monsters, with fallen humans leading the charge, before sealing the rest of them beneath Mt. Ebott, using the magic of 7 human wizards. As thousands of years passed, monsters faded into legends and so did the abilities of fallen humans. Most humans, despite forgetting that monsters exist, are superstitious of Mt. Ebott, since those that climb it never return. That superstition never stopped a handful of children, who ventured up the mountain and fell into the underground, where monsterkind was still residing. Most of those children were killed and their souls were taken, but eventually, the barrier, that kept monsterkind sealed underground, was destroyed and a small fallen human helped monsterkind incorporate themselves into human society.

Society

Fallen humans are just another part of human society. They interact, form bonds, and procreate with other humans, so most of them will never discover their incredible abilities, but they can under two specific conditions. If a fallen human comes in contact with powerful magic, or a member of the monster race, their soul type will be revealed to them. Upon discovering their soul type, they gain access to its unique traits.

Fallen Human Names

Fallen humans appear to have a different naming structure than other humans. Instead of having traditionally male and female names, the names they give their children are gender neutral, or unisex.

Fallen Human Names: Addison, Blair, Casey, Chara, Devyn, Elian, Francis, Frisk, Gayle, Hibiki, Ivory, Jackie, Kris, Leslie, Morgan, Nicky, Ollie
