Homebrew Lionel Species Details
Alignment
Most Lionel are of neutral alignment, usually preferring to keep to themselves rather than depending on others.
Clans
The clans of the Lionel are split into two: the Helions and The Lost. Helions have traditionally been content to reside in southern Stjornmond with their respective tribes, devout servants to their queens. Though these Lionel initially had no word to describe themselves, scholars came to call them Helions after observing how their lives all but revolved about their queen's needs, and the survival of the tribe, as planets circle the sun. Unlike their Helion brethren, the Lost are unbound by the whims of any reigning monarch, having long since found themselves bereft of the warm radiance of their queen. Most find that a nomadic lifestyle best suits their situation, and are known to ply a variety of trades that align with their propensity to travel - seasonal laborer, mercenary, and peddler among them.
Appearance
The Lionels are a males-only race and are taller in size than most other races, ranging from 6 to 7 feet tall. Though they stand out in height, the main thing they're noticed for is their animal-like appearance, with bodies covered entirely in fur. Most take on appearances resembling that of common lions, but the shade of their fur can vary between clan and environment.
Age
Lionels have lifespans similar to humans, rarely living over a century. They also mature at the same rate as humans.
Names and Sexes
Since Lionels are only male, there is no specific naming convention for females.
Naming Examples: Hakon, Erp, Vebjorn, Byrnjolf, Hildiglum, Vikar, Gærhelm, Hring, Edgarn
Most Lionel don't have surnames, though some may take on received titles in place of one.

Savage Claws
The jungles of Stjornmond are notoriously dangerous, filled from edge to edge with numerous massive predators. A Lionel must be able to defend themselves when confronted in the wilderness even when unarmed, they do this with large claws on their hands and feet acting both as mobility aids and natural weapons. Because of your claws, you have a climbing speed of 10 feet. In addition, your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Hunting enough food for an entire tribe takes time, and can not always be done during the daylight. Lionels have adapted to be able to hunt at all times of the day to ensure enough food to feed their queen and fellow tribesman. You have a cat's keen senses, especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Language
Lionel do not use written language, electing to illustrate things using crude symbols if something cannot be communicated verbally. This trait extends to their use of other languages, so Lionel are typically completely unable to read or write but are proficient in speaking multiple languages fluently. You can speak Common and Lionel, as well as one other standard language of your choice.
