Cheetion (3.5e Race)

Cheetions

Personality

The Cheetions are a mutualistic race, preferring not to get involved in conflicts that don't concern them directly. Fairly laid back and easy going, the Cheetions get along with most folk that do not wish them harm. Due to their social aptitude, it's not uncommon to see a Cheetions testing their tongue, enticing travelers to buy their goods or to see them charming both women and men alike at the local inn, for there own intentions.

Physical Description

The Cheetions are a humanoid race of cat folk with similar fur and markings of the cheetah. They have cheetah-like ears, tail and claws. They are fairly slim and the males rarely grow over 6ft. with females being slightly smaller still. The average weight is about 80kg for males and 60-75kg for females. They have light but very toned muscle, especially their legs which allow them to outrun most things, as well as being capable of delivering powerful kicks.

Relations

The Cheetions get along with all races and people/creatures so long as they are not trying to do harm to them or other Cheetions. However, other cat kin/folk do not like how easily Cheetions get along with races that are considered the enemy and, for that reason alone, most prideful other cat folk/kin dislike or even disown them as a sub-race of their kind. Which has lead to most Cheetions to wander, looking for a place that they can call home. Those Cheetions who stay within the cat folk/kin cities never really lead much of a life; Most resort to thievery, with aid of their speed and quick tongue. Some have taken residence alongside Elves, though it may seem odd that such a poor, lowly classed race would even be noticed by the Elves. Yet they both get along surprisingly well mostly due to the Cheetions charismatic charm.

Alignment

Cheetions are normally neutral neutral some are a bit more chaotic then others enjoying a good trick or swindling but rarely do anything that could be considered truly evil.
