Chajjyk (3.5e Race)

Chajjyk

Personality

Chajjyk follow strict religious standards. No Chajjyk is ever seen outside of their religious faith, commonly called Sagacity. They are a valorous, honorable, and quite truthful race (mostly). Chajjyk are hard workers and do not value material property as much as other races may tend to. Even though they are a fearsome sight, Chajjyk are a social race and do plenty of trade. Region to region of their home planet, Zeton, is populated by many diverse races, both in physical appearance and beliefs. (The above noted is for what is called the 'High Chajjyk'.)

Physical Description

Chajjyk are roughly 5'10" (male) or 5'6" (female). They weigh between 130 to 160 pounds. Their other various physical characteristics change by subrace. Almost no Chajjyk are 'High Chajjyk'. Those that are are usually aristocrats. Chajjyk are lean and muscular and covered in scales. Their eyes are usually wide open and they appear bony in the face. Their hands and feet appear like a chameleon's, clawed at the end. They also have a soft fleshy appendage off of the back of their head called a corma, which is treated much like a human's hair. They cut it and essentially... style it. A notable characteristic is their tail. At the end of this tail is a jem, as Chajjyk call it (not gem as you might think). The jem is quite an oddity. Normally resurrection can occur on a Chajjyk. The one exception to this, is when the tail jem is broken, smashed, or destroyed in some way. The jem is in a way, a life force for Chajjyk. Without it, they are incapable of surviving.

Relations

Chajjyk tend to get along with most races due to their reliance on trade for their economy. They are quite social and get along well with most other races. Chajjyk can be very reclusive or hateful of another race if their religion is insulted to any degree. Other than that minor set back, Chajjyk tend to be friendly if of a good nature. Neutral ones tend to be shady and calm. Evil ones will show upright disrespect if they see another as a lesser being, and in almost all cases, they do.

Alignment

All Chajjyk (with the exception of some subraces) have a Lawful Alignment, but whether they are good, neutral, or evil depends on their subrace. Chajjyk tend to look down upon criminal acts and rebellion, though it is not unheard of.

Lands

Once again, depending on their subrace, a Chajjyk can feel comfortable in certain conditions over others. Chajjyk live on a planet accessible only by portal magic. This planet is most commonly known as Zeton and is located on the Material Plane. Good Chajjyk dwell here. Evil Chajjyk dwell on Notez, and Neutral ones tend to dwell on Noto or Zeto, but are found on the main planets also.

Religion

All Chajjyk, good, neutral, and evil, believe in the religion of Arkrunic, more commonly called Sagacity. They follow their god, Arkun, who they believe created the entire universe. Arkun, is the Chajjyk word for God. At the head of the leadership were the 14 Sages: Judah, Prime Sage, Turrat, Sage of Greed, Bermudah, Sage of Protection, Lorphen, Sage of the Air, Horphail, Sage of the Earth, Kecko, Sage of the Forest, Jaborta, Wise Sage, Yefroan, Sage of Vision, Zextor, Sage of Neutrality, X-Zylo, Sage of the Fire, X-Yoxima, Sage of the Sea, Gorse, Sage of Life, Zephyretor, Sage of Loyalty, and Jaffs, Sage of Arcana. These Sages were assigned to the task of teaching a planet of worshipers who would not deter and who would not sink into corruption. And so it would be, and Zeton was created and its inhabitants, the Chajjyk. But Good cannot exist without Evil. Turrat, Sage of Greed, wanted more power. He did not appreciate being second to Judah. As part of his own diabolical plan, he himself created Notez, as a mockery to the other Sages' power and as a monument to his own. This in itself was seen as an act of treason to Arkun, and the first Sage War started. Zetonian Chajjyk fought against Notezonian Chajjyk and the Sages waged war against one another. Zextor, Sage of Neutrality, at this time, became intrigued with Turrat's idea, and he left Judah and the others. He joined Turrat and his conquest. The war ended with Turrat being imprisoned in a magical barrier created by the 'good' Sages. Zextor fled from Judah and the remainder of his followers, disappeared. Turrat, though, could not be imprisoned for eternity, and eventually he broke free of his containment. He came to know of a Descendant Chajjyk who was rising up to power on Zeton. His name was Hepo. Once again, Turrat created a mockery of Judah, and made his own Descendant Chajjyk: Opeh. Hepo rose through his life to become the Sage of Hope. Opeh became the Sage of Malice. Hepo had a grandson far down the line of his Sagehood. This grandson's name was Hepo Jr. in his honor. He too, rose to Sagehood as the Sage of Valor. Opeh, had no children, but his creator Turrat and himself made for him a son, Vellais, Sage of Relentlessness. These two kingdoms would wage war for eternity over whose version of Sagacity was correct and who sat higher in Arkun's eyes. Zextor became confused during his escape over what had happened. As his title so states, he became neutral in his thinking. He then created Zeto, and Noto, two neutral planets of a much smaller size. These became home to a neutral race of Chajjyk, more commonly called Exiles. The last known Descendant Chajjyk of the neutral Chajjyk went by the name Urfrawt. He is currently the King of the Exile Chajjyk. The Chajjyk follow their own set of holidays and religious rites. One example of these is the Rite of Lorphen, which grants Chajjyk their wings. Other Rites and this one are listed below.

• Rite of Lorphen: A Rite honoring Lorphen and his dedication to the air. Duration: 1 Year. Cost: 500gp and 500exp. Special requirements: Age of 21 (Cloud Dwellers are born with this Rite as a gift from Lorphen and gain their wings at the age of 7. They need not perform the rite). During this rite, the Chajjyk thanks Lorphen for his dedication to the sky and clouds, and he also thanks Arkun for the ability to go through such a rite, in which he prays every day for at least 30 minutes. Over the year, his wings grow in slowly and are completed at the end of the year.

• Rite of X-Yoxima: A Rite honoring X-yoxima and his dedication to the sea. Duration: 1 Year. Cost: 500gp and 500exp. Special requirements: Age of 21 (Aquatic Chajjyk are born with this Rite as a gift from X-Yoxima and gain their gills and webbed fingers and feet from birth. They need not perform the rite). During this rite, the Chajjyk thanks X-Yoxima for his dedication the sea and all that dwell in it, and he also thanks Arkun for the ability to go through such a rite, in which he prays every day for at least 30 minutes. Over the year, his gills begin to grow, and his clawed hands and feet begin to grow webs, completing by the end of the year.

• Rite of Kecko: A Rite honoring Kecko and his dedication to the woods. Duration: 1 year. Cost: 500gp and 500exp. Special Requirements: Must spend 1 month in a forest by yourself. During this rite, the Chajjyk thanks Kecko for his work with the trees and flora. He then must thank Arkun by praying every day for 30 minutes. After a year, his scale begin to shift colors. The Chajjyk gains Camouflage as a bonus special quality.

• Rite of Yefroan: A Rite honoring Yefroan, Sage of Vision. Duration: Special. Cost: 1,000gp and 500 exp. Special Requirements: Wisdom Score of 16+. During this rite, the Chajjyk seek Yefroan's greater guidance. After performing this rite, the Chajjyk must perform a Geas/Quest for the Dungeon Master over an undetermined amount of time, but not exceeding a year or otherwise excessive amount of time (you wouldn't want your player to be confined for too many sessions). This may include things such as not performing a specific action or so. Generally, it must be a difficult thing for the Chajjyk to follow. This cannot be removed by any circumstances once begun. After completing the Rite, the player receives a +1 enhancement bonus to any one ability score and the ability to call upon Arkun and the Sage's help once per day to receive a +5 bonus to any one roll.

• Rite of Bermudah: A Rite honoring Bermudah, Sage of Protection. Duration: 1 year. Cost: 750gp and 250 exp. Special Requirements: Must spend 1 month under extreme conditioning. The Chajjyk's natural armor increases by +1 once the Rite has finished.

• Rite of Gorse: A Rite that teaches the powerful uses of Life by Gorse's teachings. Duration: 1 year. Cost: 1,000gp and 500 exp. Special Requirements: Age 50, Wisdom Score 16+, 8 HD. Benefit: You gain the ability to use a spell-like ability that causes a beam of life to burst from your hands. This beam affects the first target or object only in a 50ft+5ft/2HD line and deals 1d6/2 levels (max 10d6) and may be used once per day per 4 HD. It is a standard action. A Reflex saving throw (DC 10+1/2 HD+Wis mod) causes the beam to deal half damage.

• Pledge to Arkun: A Rite that vows complete and total faith to Arkun. Duration: Special. The Chajjyk takes an eternal vow to obey Arkun, or God. The Chajjyk takes it upon himself to fight for just cause in the name of Arkun. Anytime something displeasing occurs in Arkun's eyes (Arkun is Lawful Good), the Chajjyk must put an end to it by any means necessary. If he fails to do so, the Chajjyk suffers 3d6 points of damage and and 1d6 points of ability score drain from any one ability score. He is also nauseated and exhausted and suffers a -1 penalty to all rolls. This damage cannot be removed in anyway until the act that was failed is fixed, he atones, accomplishes something of greater meaning, or Arkun forgives him.

The benefit is that the Chajjyk gains Smite Evil 1/day and Detect Evil/Good/Chaos/Law at will, such as a Paladin does. The Smite Evil adds his HD to damage and his Wisdom bonus to attack rolls. He is now able to take all feats and classes with the Smite Evil prerequisite and any other things requiring such a class trait. In addition, he may use the spell Commune once per week as a spell-ability, but the caster level is halved and the Exp. cost is removed. If taken up by an evil character, treat Arkun as Lawful Evil and change Smite Evil to Smite Good. In the case the character is of a neutral alignment, the Chajjyk receives Smite 1/day and it can be used on a target of any alignment but NE, NN, and NG and treat Arkun as of a Neutral alignment. If one of these secondary situations happen, Arkun is for all purposes Lawful Good, but the way the evil and neutral Chajjyk interpret Arkun's words is evil or neutral. Helping someone down on their luck by feeding and paying for basic things may be seen as giving them a miniscule amount of gold. As player's obtain higher levels, the misinterpretation should be even more drastic as the Chajjyk delves deeper into the faith. Slaying a Red Dragon for the cause of Good may be seen as controlling the Red Dragon and having him turn on your enemies, as "Good" to an evil Chajjyk is what Lawful Good pictures as Evil. This Rite is very role play oriented and should not be taken as something minuscule, but character RP driven. Talking to your God once a week for direct guidance is definitely greater than just a simple prayer. Smiting His enemies means dropping them for a "Holy" cause. Every action the character performs will now be influenced by his God's will and every bad action will be punished with pain and consequence.

Language

Chajjyk speak Chajjyk and Common by nature. As far as it is known, no language sits outside of their ability to speak. A common greeting is Joro (hello in Chajjyk). Joru is goodbye.

Names

Chajjyk names tend to be derived from the father and the mother's first name. Usually some mix of the two. This is a way of honoring their parents, and all of their ancestors.

Undead Chajjyk

Chajjyk cannot be raised again when their tail jem is broken, nor can their corpse be risen as an undead while the tail jem remains intact. Once broken, all that changes. A tail jem cannot be repaired, except by a miracle or wish spell. In such a case, a tail jem can only be brought back once every year. A Chajjyk does not take on the usual skeleton format. They are much different. When raised, a Chajjyk does in fact take on a skeleton form. Its type changes to Undead, and all its HD change to d12s. It keeps its dark vision of 60ft. Its base land speed is 30ft. Its flight speed, if it had one, is 30ft. Undead Chajjyk do not need to eat, drink, or sleep. Undead Chajjyk have a natural armor bonus of +5. They gain Damage Reduction 5/Bludgeoning. They gain a bonus +2 Dexterity. Undead Chajjyk have a 50% chance to retain their intelligence score (along with the feats, skills, and languages that it knew in its former life). Undead Chajjyk's claw damage increases to 1d8 (1d10 for Hlortuun). Undead Chajjyk lose their Constitution score (as all Undead). They receive bonus HP equal to 2x(HD). They gain all other associated Undead Traits. Undead Chajjyk are often created to prevent their former selves from coming back to life. Undead Chajjyk can sense all living creatures around them within a 30ft radius. Attempting to ressurect an undead chajjyk or one with its tail broken causes the spell to fail instantly. A Wish or Miracle spell can repair the tail jem, but a second form of resurrection is required to recreate them.
