Homebrew Flavoured Stick People Species Details

It was a day like every other year, a few days before Christmas. Me and my love were having the most delightful time, during which we were baking cookies, the thing we were most known for during the holidays. My love's magic touch would create the most spectacular (but also absolutely delicious) sights. A historical battle played out by sugar bites or a flock of birds made of moon cakes soaring through the sky. However, this year we decided to keep it down a bit by just focusing on the cookies, just baking cookies, no fancy dancing, no angelic singing. And who would've guessed it, the very first cookie that we made with all our love and took out of our ancient stone oven, was alive. Not just animated like the previous ones, but fully alive and sentient. To just eat it would be far too crude, so we decided to keep and raise her to become a full fledged citizen of the world. And so, a being of sugar, spice and everything nice was born.

Flavoured Stick People are the direct product of baking goods and love; Sentient baked goods. While edible, they highly prefer to not have any teeth set in them. Despite this, they aren't fully opposed to sharing parts of their body as food, because consuming their magical essence can be very beneficial to allies, and said body part grows back rather quickly anyway. They are good for more however; According to their creators, they are excellent with other races, wanting to get along with anyone. On the other hand, they can sometimes come across a bit weird because all they know is sugar and spice. Despite the later, all of these traits makes them a comfortable ally to have around, in theory at least. This race is so rare to come across that most people haven't even heard of it. However, when you do come across one, make sure to befriend them, because who wouldn't want a life long cookie as their companion?

Sugar and Spice

The flavoured stick people survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or avoiding offense. Standing about 3 feet tall and with their total amount of people in existence being able to be counted on 1 human hand, they are thought to be relatively harmless and so manage to survive by simply not really being known about.

Any colour on these creatures depends entirely on the likings of their creators; Their skin could be blue glazed with bright green edible orbs as eyes, and a wide red smile. It could also be more minimalistic; a simple spice coloured skin colour, along with black beads as eyes and a simple white smile, the possibilities are endless. As far as clothing goes, it remains an odd concept to them. A flavoured stick person has nothing to hide about their body and thus doesn't really get the concept of clothing. Regardless, they have adapted to wear at least the bare minimum, although it seems they do this more for protection than out of shame or humiliation.

Made with Love

Flavoured Stick People are made with love and it shows; They are usually good aligned and attempt to make friends with most people. They have love as their heart and wish to spread it to those around them. They hate to see people feeling down and feel inclined to help those who are feeling that way. They are enthusiastic to discover new things, people and concepts, even though they don't always fully grasp whatever they learn about. Friendship and generosity are some of their core values.

However, this is also a bit of a weakness. A flavoured stick person is easily moved to pity and hate seeing others suffer, so they can be easily swayed if those elements come into play.
