Homebrew Flamekin Species Details

The flamekin of Lorwyn are a humanoid race of elementals, though not elementals like the greater elementals (and their smaller counterparts are): No, the flamekin are literally elemental, made up of fire and a spark of passion and life that gives them sentience and humanity.  Flamekin live and group in small, usually simple villages, often with a great shamanic leader usually following one or several elementals, as the flamekin have a reverence and connection to the elementals and greater elementals on Lorwyn.  Not all flamekin follow the elementals with such reverence, and many flamekin instead dedicate their lives to fighting the tyrannic elves.  They are often seen as fickle and can be passionate in their emotions, often privy to mood swings and with short tempers, though members of the Brightflame, a group of flamekin dedicated to helping other races (often with needs related to fire), are trying to change the perception of the flamekin.  Physically, flamekin are made out of mutable stone and fire, which peeks through their necks, joints, and the crown of their head.  They are often tall, slender, beautiful creatures, and fierce fighters, emitting controllable fire and lighting up the world around them.

 Flamekin often have elemental names and no real last name, since they don't have a traditional familial system.  They are often forced to stay in their mountainous villages by elves keeping them out of the forests, and thus call home the rocky, jagged terrain, creating beautiful villages in the rock with their fire magic and community efforts.  Flamekin raise the children that are birthed out of fire as a group- the children themselves are born in the Primal Beyond, and find their way to a village from there, ending up sleeping in the fires that are always burning somewhere in the flamekin villages and taken in the next morning.  Some examples of flamekin names are Pyeroc, Ragnis, Volcane, et cetera. 

Flamekin Traits

Flamekin aren't too diverse in their professional traits, but whatever elemental they follow is relevant.

Ability Score Increase

All flamekin receive a +1 in dexterity.

Age

Flamekin live to around a normal humanoid 100, though some flamekin can burn themselves out young and become cinders after their deaths, different from the normal deaths that occur of natural age, illness, et cetera.

Size

Flamekin are medium sized humanoids, though some can be up to 7 or even 8 feet tall.  Most will be above 5 foot at the least, and their slender, graceful forms are only made more beautiful by their long limbs.

Language

Flamekin do not have a flamekin-specific language, though some flamekin shamans may study and attempt to learn Primordial to understand the elementals' minimal communication. Otherwise, flamekin speak and use Common.

Alignment

Most flamekin are usually some form of chaotic, and the good-evil scale is usually dependent on the individual's background.

Speed

Flamekin can be quite speedy, but are normal humanoids with a normal 30 foot walking speed.

Fiery Glow

Flamekin naturally light up the area around them because of the fire in their bodies.  Passively, they light up 10 feet in all directions around them, (unless blocked by an obstacle), though it can be increased to 20 feet once every short rest.  

Internal Flame

Flamekin are able to harness their internal flame to create fire weapons or improve fire magic.  A flamekin can create weapons and shields out of their fire- depending on levels, they can be small, medium, or large weapons, and the number of weapons the individual is capable of summoning per long rest goes up with their levels in the same way.
