Ancients[edit]

Personality[edit]

Ancients are stoic race that have taken residence in ruined temples on a number of planes. They tend to bask in the history which has passed them by.

Physical Description[edit]

How an Ancient looks physically varies from individual to individual, however, they are usually healthy and fit. Although, such features as hair color and eye color vary immensely due to their origins. Due to their long lifespans, their physical features do not change much over the course of what may be centuries.

Relations[edit]

The social skills of Ancients are sub par to say the least. They act as they see fit without regards to any culture's norms. One may say that those who know of Ancients may call them a loner race.

Alignment[edit]

Ancients come in a variety of alignments depending on the energies of which they originated from.

Lands[edit]

Forgotten temples on the material plane serve as homes for many Ancients, however, they do take refuge on other planes.

Religion[edit]

Ancients do not worship any Gods or such. They may view them with disdain in some cases.

Language[edit]

Common and one other language (Infernal, Abyssal, Celestial).

Names[edit]

Ancients are traditionally named after virtues and sins.

  • Energy Variant (Ex): When an Ancient comes into existence, they associate themselves with an energy type and dissociate themselves with others.

If they do this, that specific energy type is treated as positive energy is to normal humans. (e.g. An Ancient is vulnerable to cold and fire, but has the ability to absorb electricity damage. This feature must be chosen at character creation and may not be changed thereafter.)
