Cellmanaur (5e Race)

Cellmanaur

“

I don't Know where they came from or why they look so weird but me and the others sure were glad they showed up when they did. Those bandits would have torn us to pieces. After it was over, they escorted us where we needed to go, they refused our offered reward and simply wished us well and moved on. Oddest thing I've ever been a part of.

Physical Description

Cellmanaur are creatures that have the blood of humans, elves, and centaurs flow within them. They appear as half elves with six limbs the configuration of which is determined by one of the two distinct subraces. The "Fleet Foot" quadrupeds with two lower halves known for their speed and endurance. Their lower torso is an almost exact copy of their upper from the rib cage down with few exceptions like being horizontally angled, being slightly longer to accommodate their stride, and the musculature of their rear legs to be conducive to the perpendicular alignment to the lower torso. FYI their reproductive organs are on the back half. The other is the "Strong Back" Bipeds with two upper halves known for their strength and dexterity. The top torso is 1/2 the size of the lower more like that of a halfling in scale. This includes their head which sits atop the smaller torso. Regardless all Cellmanaur's have an equine like tail covered in the same hair that's on their head. Their skin, hair, and eye colors can be any naturally occurring color found among humans and elves this includes Drow.

History

The Cellmanaur simply put are mundane beings from another plain of existence, a different universe if you will. Their world is much the same as ours. They have forests, valleys, deserts, rivers, and mountains. Above all else, they had kingdoms trying to control it all. Where they differed was only three sentient races existed on this world the humans adaptable and tenacious, the Elves wise and skilled, and the Centaurs swift and strong. After much strife and turmoil there came a peace. A peace that didn't fade a true lasting understanding that cooperation was the only way forward. So, for millennia the three races became closer, rebuilt their world and as their societies merged so did their culture and people. Whether through magical assistance or sheer tenacity the blood lines of the three races stared to comingle this practice was practically encouraged. So, generation after generation the lines between them all began to blur until there simply weren't any lines left. At some point they realized this and began calling themselves the Cellmanaur. How they came to be in our reality is rather straightforward a number of them were pulled here against there will by an extraplainar god for reasons beyond their understanding. Though they believe it must be for a purpose. So they decided to make the best of a unusual situation so they built a town around the ruins that they found themselves deposited into originally and dedicated themselves to help this world and those that call it home.

Society

Cellmanaur hold cooperation and the betterment of all as the highest tenant of their society. This leads them to be very polite almost annoyingly so at times. Even though they’re athletically inclined their passion lies with diplomacy. Always happy to be mediators in conflicts big or small, they do tend to be a bit to nosy for their own good more often than not. But not all can be diplomats. A great deal has found that they make good couriers and bodyguards. They find this a good way to help the world they find themselves in by facilitating quick and reliable messaging and deliveries, and by protecting the innocent on long journeys. They are a democratic people who are led by a prime minister. Their second priority is the defense of their adopted home a large walled town built around ruins at the heart of which lies the inert portal that brought them here. They hope one day to figure out how to use it themselves or find someone who can so one day they can return home. They are regarded with a certain amount of suspicion being both familiar and alien the fact that they are quite uncommon compounds this.
