Homunculus Human (Pathfinder Race)

Homunculus Human

Created in laboratories, some homunculi might not even realize their own origin. Such extraordinary works of alchemy used to be kept by great scientists in order to aid them in their research. Although it's not rare for an homunculus to ask their creator (usually at their death bed) to be free to roam the world, others might even be able to escape their "homes" abandoning their makers. Whilst, many others are also created by other homunculi who learned the art of playing god.


Physical Description

Homunculi usually are created to resemble humans, so their aspect is as varied as the formers.

Society

Homunculi aware of their own origins tend to be more reclusive and don't usually become active members of the society they live in. Obviously homunculi don't form societies of their own, but people have heard talking about secret organizations made up exclusively of homunculi


Alignment and Religion

Homunculi usually aren't religious at all, although there are many of them who worhsip the deities of alchemy. They tend to be of neutral alignment since are usually not really interested in struggles between good and evil, chaos and law. They just seek to find a place in the world they live in. Some of them are just looking for a quiet life.

gollark: |ℝ| = |ℝ²| because a bijection between them exists so there are as many squares as rectangles so all rectangles are squares, QED.
gollark: There are |ℝ| squares, right, and |ℝ²| rectangles?
gollark: Since I don't know measure theory, though, this sounds dubious.
gollark: Actually, this might be answerable with measure theory somehow.
gollark: 0% of rectangles are squares? Are you sure?
