Homebrew Fawn Species Details

Fawns are forest creatures who love nature, magic, art and exploration.

Small and fluffy

Fawns are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. Horns are a sign of strength among Fawns and usually the one with bigger horns will win arguments. They have large dear like ears that are usually the same color as their hair. 

Fawn's coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or brown, and eyes in an endless spectrum of colors. They sometimes have dear noses but commonly have more human faces with bits of fur around.

Living in the moment

Fawns become adults at three years old and can live to 60 years old. They are very open and joyous people. They are partyers and can go days without rest. they enjoy the wilder side of most things and can get along with a variety of people.

Fawns tend to be flexible in the way they think of others and tend to avoid fighting and would rather everyone live in freedom together. But when the need arises, they fight dirty and without concern for honer.

Hidden Woodland Realms

Most Fawns dwell in small forest villages hidden among the trees. Fawns 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. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though a few fawns make a good living by becoming guides though tough terrain and forests.

Fawns encountered outside their own lands are commonly traveling artists, or guides. 

Exploration and Adventure

Fawns take up adventuring out of wanderlust. They dislike human society because of how confining it can be, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace. Fawns enjoy living in the moment and experiencing everything they can, and adventuring allows them to do so. Some might join with rebels fighting against oppression, and others might become champions of moral causes, and some might just be wanderers.
