Ancient Remnant, Ice (3.5e Race)

Ancient Remnant, Ice

Personality

Ice-aligned Ancient Remnants tend to be a chilly and paranoid race. They assume the worst more often than not, distrust everything and everyone, and even if they should be convinced of something, they can become cynical very quickly if their belief is shaken. Because of these particular traits, they have a hard time relating to others, and make few friends if any. Those who find the warm, tender heart of the frigid Remnants are a very lucky few.

Most Ancient Remnants are fairly physically diverse humanoids, but Ice-aligned Remnants are distinct in their unusual uniformity. Their skin can be any color, but is always ice cold and appears matte under strong sunlight. Their facial features are more delicate than humans and more rugged than elves. However, across all the Ice-aligned Ancient Remnant, they share the but one common trait: blue eyes. The blue varies in shade, and upon close inspection, the pattern of the iris resembles frost.
