Homebrew GummyFolk Species Details
“I have never imagined such beauty existed,” Darion said softly. The day’s march had been difficult, but the reward at the end was beyond their dreams. The companions stood on a high crystalline cliff overlooking forested translucent gummy fields.
Stiff trees open up into multicolored farm fields. A many small barns rose from around milk rivers edge, their starchy rooves standing out against the sugary, shiny grass. Joyful fawns raced around the perfectly baked fences, and colorful birds soared through the air. The small town showed no signs of decay despite its ancient age. It was founded by the first Gummies, and maintained by them even to today. Built by ancient squishy Gummyfolk, this town was made to be open to the plains around it, thriving of the land and letting the land thrive off the town. A long caravans of wagons stuffed with crops of a variety flavors and sweets slowly made thier way out of the town, with a long road ahead of them.
Gummyfolk are a ancient people of all talents, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of natures beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in fertile plains villages glittering with warm firelight, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze. Many Gummies love nature and controlling it into a state of grace and productivity, but most today tend to leave their small villages, looking for lives of free spirit or adventure.
Stout and Joyful
With their joyful grace and round features, many Gummies appear hauntingly adorable to Bakedgoods and members of many other races. They come in a varity of shapes an sized due to the nature of thier creation, but, on average, they range from well under 4 feet tall to just over 5 feet. They are more slender than Cakes and cookies, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and females are only marginally heavier than males.
Gummies coloration encompasses the entire rainbow, Gummies tend to enjoy making gummies in a community effort, creating gummies with different patterns and in shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. They favor translucent gummies so that they bend in better with the Environment around them. They favor modest clothing in translucent bright colors, but they dress up when the occasion suits them.
A Hurried Perspective
Gummies live short lives that can be prone to incidents. Can live up to 96 years, giving them high ambitions with little time to spare. This especially effects Gummy Folk who choose to live in city's, they can become prone to taking on too many jobs or responsibilities. This drives many GummyFolk to ultimately go back to thier ancestral way of being harmonious with nature, and causes many to enjoy a calm life of farming. They are more often excited than angry, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, Gummys can be focused and relentless. They are quick to make friends and enemies, and even quicker to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.
Like the branches of a young tree, Gummies are flexible in the face of danger. They trust in diplomacy and compromise to resolve differences before they escalate to violence. They have been known to retreat from intrusions into their woodland homes, confident that they can simply wait the invaders out. But when the need arises, Gummies reveal mysteriously magical side, manifesting innate magic based around desperation alone .
Hidden Farming Villages
Many elves dwell in small farming villages hidden among the trees alongside the end of the long ancient milk river. Gummys raise game, farm crops, and grow many flavors of fruitables, and their skill and ancient techniques allow them to export nearly half of the worlds food supply. They are talented artisans, crafting finely worked clothes and art objects. Their contact with outsiders has only recently been expanded. Previously just groups of independent villages have now been either bought out by companies or threatened into feudal contracts with larger Monarchies. A few hidden villages still maintain sovereignty through a rising royal gummy family, The Chewing-gums.
Gummys encountered outside their own lands are commonly traveling traders, or adventurous souls pursuing a grander goal...
Exploration and Adventure
Gummy take up adventuring out of pure ambition or spiritual purpose. Since they are so short lived, they can find themselves constantly on their feet, exploring and discovering. They tend to dislike the pace of Bakedgoods society, which is regimented from day to day but constantly changing over decades, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace. Gummies also enjoy showing off what they are good at, whether it be farming, magic, advetueing or something else entirely.
Although they can be a little to honest, Gummies are able to find good in just about anyone.
Hard Candies. “Had Candies are dull, clumsy oafs. But what they lack in humor and manners, they make up in resilience. And I must admit, what left of their once grand empire is quite beautiful.”
Milkies. “Milkies, they’re good folk, they care for each other and tend to their own they have proven themselves tougher than they seem when the need arises. Very skillful charismatic traders, but sometimes their methods of success seem a bit brutal. ”
Baked Goods. “All that hate, their ambition and drive to accomplish anything and everything they can get thier mittens on—Baked endeavors seem so futile sometimes. But then you look at what they have accomplished, and you have to appreciate their achievements. If only they could slow down think about those around them. Individuality is great, but it feels like they take it to far.”
Elf Names (im re doing not doing this part lolololol)
Elves are considered children until they declare themselves adults, some time after their first birthday, and before this period they are called by child names.
On declaring adulthood, an gummy selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child name. Each gummies adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of respected individuals or other family members. Little distinction exists between male names and female names; the groupings here reflect only general tendencies. In addition, every Gummy bears a family name, typically a combination of other Gumlish words. Some elves traveling among humans translate their family names into Common, but others retain the Elvish version.
