Homebrew Fleshbound Species Details

"I thought I was the only one who'd been murdered by a cruel man, raised as a powerful but horrible abomination, subsequently crowned myself queen, and dedicated my subjects to orchestrating my vengeance."

-Sylvanas Windrunner

Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, fleshbounds attempt to look human to regain their lost humanity, beauty, and grace.  Some fleshbound live among humans, set apart by their emotional and physical differences, having the ambition of the humans and elves they used to be, yet looking at the world through the lenses of blood and vile.  Their emotions either departed with their former lives or unhinged by their monsterus rebirth.  They do not age, but if a fatal wound is landed, they may degenerate in some places.  Many fleshbound, unable to fit into either society, choose lives of solitary wandering or join with other misfits and outcasts in the adventuring life.

Of Two Worlds

At first glance, fleshbound look like half-elves, but discolored and scared.  Upon closer inspection, the malforamation of flesh gives away the race.  In height, they’re slightly bulkier than most humans, either taller or having an unnatural amount of muscle, in distorted places.  They range from 5 feet to about 7 feet tall, and from 100 to 280 pounds.  There are a variety of shapes and colors these creatures display, with different hair growth patterns, many eyes, arms, horns, and limbs.

Wanderers

Fleshbound have no lands of their own.  They travel seeking power, knowledge, and freedom from the judgement of those who could not understand their troubles.  Those reborn may chose to return to the land from which they came, but most are rarely accepted back into the life they once had.
