Homebrew Half-Leonin Species Details

Most common features with Half-Leonins are the lion ears, eyes or hair. The characteristics that they depict can vary, in some cases they only have the eyes or the ears in others they appear more lion like.

Half-Leonins are a rare species since Leonins tend to keep to themselves and rarely leave their home. The Half-Leonins that do survive are shunned for being too human and are banned from Oresko. When born in a tribe the mothers protect and educate them until they are old enough to leave the tribe.

They are mostly tolerated in the human society but with wariness. Having no secure place in either society they search for a place where they can fit in and feel accepted. Even though they are mostly accepted they still try to avoid the eyes of aristocrats and nobles.
