Living in the near pitch darkness of the caverns, often counting on the cover of the night to protect them, the chirot are a race who very often hunt together, though sometimes they do go off alone to hunt or to find something new.

Play a Chirot if you want...

• To be a race often feared by others.
• To rely on the cover of night.
• To be a member of a race that favors the Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, and Monk classes.

Physical Qualities

Not a tall race, the chirot have large wings. But unlike a bat they are not attached to their arms, and hollow bones to allow them to move around easier. These wings are often still too unstable for prolonged flight. Their skin is usually a pale reddish shade, and most chirots don't have any hair, at least keeping it short in order to prevent it from being an issue while flying. Their teeth are sharp, like a bat's, but not oversized like a vampire's. Their appearance is often remarked as freakish, being hairless humanoids with wings, pointed ears and sharp teeth.

Playing a Chirot

You despise the feather winged races, but otherwise you are kind to all who wish you no harm. Of course, some Chirot are mean to others, but generally they're nice unless reason prooves a need for otherwise.

Chirot Characteristics: The sterotype of them being 'flighty' and unfocused could not be more incorrect. The Chirot are a proud race, though they usually do only look out for themselves, they shall protect others if they see an advantage to it later on (even so much as that a feathery race won't get their way).

Male Names: Rock, Jade, Alexandrite, Topaz, Garnet, Amethyst, Peridot, Jacinth, Diamond

Female Names: Ruby, Crystal, Amber, Jade, Turquoise, Aquamarine, Moonstone, Pearl, Emerald, Opal, Sapphire,

Chirot Adventurers

Three sample Chirot adventurers are described below.

Ruby is a young chirot, cast out of the tribe shortly after adulthood. She has made a bit of a name for herself in the nearby area, actually befriending the feathered races when they healed her wing. She still has a long way to go before she can tell exactly why everything is why it is, but she's slowly getting there as the time drags onward.

Topaz is a male chirot fighter, who used to spend his days guarding the entrance to his cavernous city before going off to fight a group of feathered beings not far away. That feeling of power never died down, and so Topaz continued to fight, knowing that each one down would mean a safer home.

Crystal is a female chirot rogue. Having infiltrated the Avain settlement of Candor, she managed to take them out by herself. She regularly joins groups of fellow adventurers in order to have her own means met, taking them to vain cities and sneaking away to fight another day.
