Homebrew Enderkin Species Details

"He came out of nowhere, in a flash of purple energy he stood behind me, his skin black as night and one his eyes, glowing purple in the dark. The slim figure simply looked over me while stood there, frozen in fear, after a looking at me for a while I heard this terrifying, raspy deformed voice say, 'I had you figured for someone else' and he dissapeared in another flash."

Hunted, shamed and cursed. Enderkin are feared and hated in a way that is similar to tieflings, however instead of their family being altered by a demon lord, the enderkin were altered by endritch energies,  some say their ancestors had once greatly wounded a powerful ender dragon and were subsequently cursed. Others theorise they delved too deep into the endervoid and were infused with its power, whatever the cause, these creatures are filled with chaotic endritch energies.

Endritch Bloodline

Enderkin are derived from human bloodlines, and they tend to still look human. However, their endritch origin has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Enderkin are varied in many ways, some retain their human looks fully on one half but look like endermen on the other, almost like a disease that spread from one of their eyes. At least of one of their eyes is a shade of purple and emits of a faint glow, that becomes brighter and may change shade if they are angry or happy. when they close their mouths it can fully blend with the rest if their skin. their voices are often rough and raspy, sounding dehydrated and not used to speaking. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but often include some parts in shades of black and purpleish gray. Their hair, if they retain it, retains their natural human colour but can also include shades of purple. 

Hydrophobic and Hidden

Enderkin often find their homes in places without the threat of rain such as dwarven underground cities or towns in the desert, sometimes even mingling with races of the underdark. They often lived alone or within criminal groupes, where they grow up to be, thieves, assasins or escape artists. Sometimes they live among other minorities in enclaves where they are treated with more respect or are taken in by research institutes, hoping to figure out more about their origins and powers.

Lacking a homeland, enderkin know that they have to make their own way in the world and that they have to be strong to survive. They are not quick to trust anyone who claims to be a friend and often become extremely nervous or angry when one looks into their eyes. However when someone proves themselves to be worthy of trust, can  loyal allies.
