Half-Lunars (3.5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Half-Lunar
Personality
Half-Lunar are calm and cheerful, like their lunar parents. However the half-lunar are more open and more social. They are rarely anger at all and lack the apathy of their Lunar parents. Half-Lunar are more likable than their Lunar parent and as social and tolerant as human. Lunars tend to be emphatic toward other felling and are generally helpful. Half-Lunars, like their lunars parent often lack passion and tend to be under-ambitious. Male and female half-lunar have very similar behaviour.
Physical Description
Half-Lunars are often beautiful, with perfect complexion and light skin. Unlike their lunars parents, they may have any hairs and eyes colors. Half-Lunar can be both male and female, however they tend to be quite androgynous. Since Lunar are all female (but are in fact genderless) and can only reproduce with females humans (using magic fertilization on women who sleep under the full moon) male of the species look very feminine. Some normally unseen sigils can be seen on a half-lunar skin, being visible only when the skin is exposed to moonlight. half-lunars eyes always turn silver when gazing at the moon. A Half-Lunars arms and legs are often slightly longer than basic arms and legs of their mother race.
Relations
Half-Lunar have good relations with both humans and lunars, they are also sociable enough to have good relations with other races. They do not try to avoid other races and live with them pretty well. Lunars are social creature, they often gather large circle of friends. Although some prefer a smaller circle but closer friends. No matter a half-lunar is likely to fight for one he love, they are a incredibly loyal people. Half-lunar got a strange racial hatred against small races such as halflings, gnomes and dwarves. Race able to see through illusion naturally attract the distrust of half-lunars, heritating this trait from their lunar mother (using illusion to remain unseen in society).
Alignment
Half-Lunars gravitate toward lawful alignment, many half-lunars are neutral on the good-evil axis thank to their racial apathy. Lunars usually have honor and respect for the law, but many are also attracted to neutrality thank to their wanderlust. Overall half-lunars are rarely chaotic, but more half-lunar are neutral than lawful.
Lands
Half-Lunars don't any have land of their own, like their parents they wander in search of home, however half-lunars may settle in a human community. Half-lunars rarely found a family, they more often then not stay with their human mother until her death or wander the land with her. Keep in mind half-lunars do not wander the land needlessly, simply they go on spiritual quest or in search of their true home (half-lunars rarely feel at home, like Lunars who left the moon).
Groups of half-lunars, such as tribe or community tend to be nomad, some manage to live a sedimentary existence but most wander the land.
Religion
Half-Lunar faith is as diversified as humans, they often go with human's gods or lunar's ancestral worship. Lunars raised by humans are likely to worship humans deities, lunars tend to adopt other races spirituality into their own. Thus every half-lunars are said to possess their own religion. Half-lunars are very spiritual, far more than regular humans, many of them wander the land in search of a higher calling or to enrich one spirit, not unlike full lunars.
Language
Half-Lunar speak both Lunar and Common. They may lean any other language and thank to their human adaptivity and lunar wanderer heritage half-lunars tend to be versatile with languages.
Names
Half-Lunar bear both a human name and a Lunar name. It often mistaken for a personal name and a family name but it not. However in society dominated by half-lunar (such as a half-lunar tribe) some half-lunar exclusive names began to appear. They are generally gender-neutral.
