Homebrew Faelynx (Demi-human: Cat) Species Details
Despite having been completely bruised and beaten, she seemed like a relatively happy child. Unaware of the fact she was someones slave. Treated more like an abused toy than a person. She never held a grudge or showed any bitterness.
A race of Demi-humans originating from cross-breeding between Tabaxi and Humans. Very few villages of these people lay scattered across the globe having been marked as cursed beings by many Human religions. Many Faelynx are taken as slaves or concubines, as they are very passive and don't tend to hold any strong negative emotions.
Origins of Outcasts
It is believed that the first faelynx was born to a human and a tabaxi couple however, there is no solid evidence that this is the case. Due to religious stipulations, very few tabaxi and human mix couples exist. Offspring originating from these two races are even rarer. Most dominant religions claim that Faelynx are cursed creatures sent as a reminder of the parent's sins. Many live in isolated villages hidden from human kingdoms and empires in fear of becoming slaves, or worse. Serval notable villages have purged many demi-human races with Faelynx being key among them. The few that do live freely among humans tend to work in pleasure-oriented business or other shady dealings.
Childhood Attachments
Sometime after a faelynx turns about 10 years old, they tend to become overly attached to a single person, place, or thing that has a positive impact on them. Being separated from said person, place, or thing can cause serious stress and anxiety. They will usually plan their life goals and plans around this. For example, if they become attached to a place they will strive to stay in said place and work specifically to remain there. If they become attached to a thing, they will try to keep the item with them at all times. And lastly, if they grow attached to a person, they will try to become more like that person and work to be near them. It is not much different from ducklings imprinting on their mother. This can be used to heavily influence or blackmail a faelynx.
Faelynx Personality
Most Faelynx are shy and reserved people. They live in small family units but don't share strong bonds with each other. Most Faelynx don't have strong feelings but can learn these emotions from other races or people. In most conflict situations Faelynx will try to flee rather than stand their ground unless affected by their attachment.
