Homebrew Acan (old version) Species Details

We're beings of the Astral Sea. A lot of our scholars believe we're descended from humans who have decided to call it their home, while others disagree and say we were created by the Astral Sea itself. The truth is we don't know if either is true. All we know is that we are extensions of the Astral Sea. It is integral to our very being.

Acans hail from the Astral Plane. They revere nature and often keep small agriculture farms as they sail their ships in the Astral Sea. 

With their adaptability offered by their origin of the Astral Sea, Acans are more physically diverse than other common races. There is no typical Acan. An individual can stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds. Acan skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, and hair colors from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight); males might sport facial hair that is sparse or thick.
