Skeler (3.5e Race)

Skeler

Personality

Skeler (singular and plurar) are ruthless people, who rely on their awe-inspiring presence, rather than their diplomatic skills. They are not ultimately evil, but short-tempered, merciless and tends to be very selfish.

Physical Description

A Skeler usually 6-7 feet tall; however, since their bones are thin and hollow, they weigh about 110-130 pounds. They features are a cross between a human and a vulture, with small, pointy ears and yellow, gloomy eyes. They skin is totally bare with no fur, feather, or whatsoever to cover it, so they tend to wear dark robes to protect themselves from the elements. Their limbs are extraordinarily long, their arms ending with five clawed fingers.

Relations

They are jingoistic, sardonic, impulsive creatures, and therefore they are not in good terms with other people.

Alignment

Though mostly neutral, they are more often evil than good, and they are rarely lawful.

Lands

They like arid places, from hot to cold (ranging from deserts to the top of mountains).

Religion

They share the same religions as any other races; however, the way they practice it, is very alien. They revere all gods, however, they usually mock all interferences the immortals do in the world. They see gods as respectable, jolly, but utterly senile old people, who did many great deeds, but now they shall retire.
