Original Character (5e Race)
Original Character
There have been few creatures as difficult to understand as the Original Characters. Each is the protagonist of their own story, and they near-universally hold an intense hatred of stealing. It's said that the first Original Character arose from some magical experiment involving a hedgehog. The resulting creature was too swift to contain, and escaped.
