Chaostrums (3.5e Race)

Chaostrums

Born from Chaos and Darkness, these Humanoids crave one thing. Yet that one thing is always different. No one Chaostrum knowns what is missing from his life. They go through life searching for it, fighting and consuming anything that stops them.

Personality

A simple race that has one goal once they hit adulthood. Find the missing piece they are craving. To each Chaostrum until they find this item or idealism it will continue to bother them and make anything they do seem meaningless.

Physical Description

Bulky and strong, these medium-sized creatures can peek around 8 feet. They have four arms, which they use to help run when they are on all limbs. Endurance these creatures are like tanks, but where they are great in speed and strength, they lack in character or common sense. Their body is covered in a thick scales that are similar to reptilians or dragons, but seem to change color every so often depending on how the sun hits them, ranging from black at night, to blue in the morning, purple in the afternoon, and red in the evening. They have wings as well but hardly use them.

Relations

They are not known to most races except to most Dragonic races, and lizardfolk. While most of the time peaceful there are a few who's craving is not so benevolent. Thus another group of the Race divided up to form what is known as the Bloodstrums. While they are still Chaostrums these creatures love war and the taste of blood. Most are malignant in nature and have divided up the Chaostrums. A unending war is between both of these classes and a unyielding hate that makes even orcs and elves look childish.

Alignment

Can range depending on the type you go, if you go for the Bloodstrums then you are ranging from chaotic neutral to evil, while the Chaostrums will range from Chaotic neutral to Good.

Lands

They live in an area that is mixed with mountains, large forests, and swamps.

Religion

Chaostrums worship a god known as the Narth, which is to there belief is the planet. While Bloodstrums worship most War gods.

Language

Dragonic, because the dragons in the surrounding area taught them in there tongues.
