Homebrew Feltborn Species Details
Before the Great Cataclsym, the Feltborn were nothing but lifeless puppets. They were seen on countless shows and movies and were the highlight of the theme park where they found life. The theme park was inspired by the creations of one man, and in the years following grew into a corporate conglomerate of greed, eating up multiple companies and creations including the company created by the inventer of the puppets. The Feltborn held on to the magic of their creator though...
At the time of the Great Cataclysm, the Feltborn were awakened. Magic was weaved into their design and brought life to what was previously lifeless. The bodies of famous puppets now stood and walked on their own. After the initial awakening though, when Feltborn came to life, their designs...changed. Not content with being the face of the famous puppets, the magic weaved them into another design. As their minds developed so too did their forms. Their look fashioned by the burgeoning personality in their felt minds.
