Unigan (3.5e Race)

Unigan

A fun little race for anyone who is a fan of Unigan, and likes to have the random adaptability of randomized stat changes based on being killed.

Personality

• A race who are challenged by short term memory and use magic to make up for their shortcomings... this often leads them away from being wizards. Some are as kind as they can be, living from moment to moment. While others remain in pristine groups, and keep to highly revered traditions. The race revers tradition and mentalities that keep themselves in power, and keeps their own desires in check. Even though they in groups can be wise and a force to be reckoned with even the smartest Unigan can fall prey to their own mentality. Despite this they grow intelligent in close proximity to one another leading the occasional nobility in their race to keep a large retainer of servants and slaves from their own race.

Physical Description

• The average height of an Unigan varies between 5 to 6 feet, they tend to weigh in around 130lb. Their skin colors are usually of hues of blue, their amphibious skin is smooth and on occasional will develop scales. Their eye color tends to vary as much as their hair color does, so there is no hard set hue. They are predominantly reptilian in characteristic with shorter thicker tails than most counterpart races. Their feet often have three clawd toes and present themselves as semi-digitigrade, with tendency to stand entirely digitgrade. Their have three four fingered hands with a single thumb, each digit presents a claw that is often too short or dull to cause harm. Their present a single horn from their forehead, usually it has a slight upward curve. But there is a minor variation to the variate of horn. their anatomy is retaliative to humans and lacks key draconic features that would earn them the draconic subclass, or even reptilian since they are warmblooded. Despite this a short pair of draconic wings, usually too small to be flightless are presented from their backs, but some adapt and their wings eventually grow to a size capable of flight and gliding. Their ears are often long and rounded, hanging down somewhat too their shoulders, and raise slightly if alerted or attempting to listen. Despite being Physically capable to most other races some of their anatomy appears to be ornamental yet moderately functional as opposed to full functionality. They reproduce asexually through a phoenix like rebirth, aka Reincarnation, despite having two genders.

Relations

• The race as a whole tends to get along somewhat poorly with ground walking races. Often finding value in skyborn and races that favor being high in the air. Despite their bias towards races that would be underground or on it. They will more than likely quickly learn to get along with other races. Or completely forget the reasons they were supposed to not like a certain race if enough time has passed.

Alignment

• They tend to lean towards neutral and good alignments, if they do not keep themselves to their strict behavior codes they often drift towards chaotic good or chaotic neutral. As a whole the race finds little reason or need to purposely be evil. Despite that they can be corrupted if lead astray by outside forces.

Lands

• They Favor mountains, and higher elevation. If possible they forgo being on the ground entirely.

Religion

• The race worships a slew of Good or lawful gods. Some have taken to the worship in the idea that the original unigan is a legendary figure meant to be revered. The more egotistical of the race even begin to lean towards revering themselves. Despite this their origins lays in the primal gods, created perhaps by accident. Oddly enough much like the Tarrasque the race is hard to permanently destroy. To this extent they get spread to different planes of existence by wizards or spell casters attempting to do away with them and not wanting to go though the bother of trying to kill them every time they are reborn.

Language

• They Speak Common as base language and seem for the primary of their civilization to always have spoken some form of Common.

Names

• they use a series of common names, or names passed down and shortened. Each time a Unigan is reborn they have the vague memory of their past life, and will often take the name they remember the most from their former life. Over time a name such as Odevinarous will degrade to Devin. Esamuelack will eventually become Samuel, despite the degradation of memory from one rebirth to the next, they do not loose knowledge of simple language use or the majority of their simplified name.
