Homebrew Flavorian Species Details

"I met one of 'em creatures once out in the prairie. A weird-looking fella, looked like a spotted miscolored cactus to me. I thought I was hallucinating"     - unknown remark of a coal miner

 

Tall and Well-Fed

With their unearthly looks and pudgy features, Flavorians appear strange but friendly to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly taller than humans on average, ranging from 5'10 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more rotund than humans, weighing between 200-275 pounds. Flavorians are genderless, but express themselves all over the range of the binary spectrum and use a wide array of pronouns.

Flavorians’ coloration ranges as wide as their spectrum of gender, mostly being those of bright colors such as purple, blue, orange, green, and pink. Flavorians also have spot marks on their skin, almost leopard-like, heaving their belly, hands, face, and legs exposed. They have no hair, but spikes posing as the hair on the tops of their head like white porcupine spikes. They have two sets of eyes, which both tend to be black, coloration in the eyes is rare. Even rarer are eyes with white irises and black borders. Flavorians usually have little to no facial or body hair, but some who exclusively present on the masculine spectrum sometimes have markings on their faces similar to a 5 o'clock shadow. They have no feet, only soft nubs, but that does not make them any slower than any other races.

A Life Sustained by Food

Flavorians can live well over 200 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. Though they live much longer than most, they spend their time exploring the universe in search of new elements and tastes to add to Flavortown. When pursuing a goal, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, Flavorians can be focused and excited to start. They are fast to make friends and enemies, as they are often unfamiliar with their surroundings and the customs of the world.

Flavorians are not ones to look for a fight, but when they are caught in a scrape, they rely on their wisdom to carry them through the best way to defend themselves and the people they care about. They often use magic, but can also use their hunting skills to take down an opponent.

Hunters and Gatherers

Flavortown has a unique array of forests and jungles that offer a variety of game and plants. Flavorians hunt game, gather food, and grow vegetables, and their skill and magic allow them to support themselves without the need for clearing and plowing land. They are talented artisans, crafting finely cooked and prepared foods. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though a few Flavorians make a good living by trading rare foods on different planets.

Flavorians encountered outside their own lands are commonly traveling aspiring chefs and historians of flavor, sometimes clerics recruited by their patron god Guy Fieri himself
