Cetra (3.5e Race)

Cetra

Personality

Cetra act like normals humans, except that they spend time each day to listen to the Planet. They do so by going to a place of particular solitude, a place special to them, usually that no one else knows of. Here, they do something simple, like tending flowers or watching the stars, or they do nothing at all, but hear the Planet.

Physical Description

Cetra look exactly like normal humans, but their hair may be exceptionally long, even that of males.The eyes of a Cetra are always green and have a glow to them to signify the lifestream running through them.

Relations

Cetra believe all living things are sacred, that everything is part of the lifestream. They hold no prejudices, but a very few have low respect for regular humans. This lack of respect stems from their traditional story of the original Cetra, who traveled the Planet, searching for the promised land. In this story, some lazy Cetra lost hope and settled into villages, which became cities. These lazy Cetra became regular humans, losing their connection to the Planet.

Cetra tend to be Neutral Good or True Neutral.
