Gnobins (3.5e Race)

Gnobins

Personality

Gnobins are some of the most arrogant people you will ever come across. They feel that they are superior to everyone else in Tirvel. Gnobins are also very self-conscious due to their origin as a race. Home life is similar to 1950's American household, in that each Gnobin is partnered with another, often at a mature, but young age, and remain that way for life. Typically the male Gnobin of the household is expected to provide for the whole household, and the female is expected to care for the house and any children they may have. Females may be seen doing jobs outside the home, but these are stereo-typically 'maternal' activities such as nursing, schooling, etc. Irregardless of the division of the sexes, the home is typically very family oriented; often times the family will eat and spend entire evenings together. Homes are not extravagant, but typically posses a couple items that could be considered luxury goods.

Physical Description

The average Gnobin stand around 4'10"-5'6". Females are typically taller than males.Gnobins look human in shape. The ears and nose of a Gnobin are pointed and large. Though uncommon, some Gnobins have snouts instead of a goblin-like nose/mouth. Their bodies are covered in a downey fur with a mane starting where a human's hairline would and trailing down over the shoulders and tapering to a point below their shoulder blades. The color of the fur is typically shades of brown, with the mane anywhere from dark brown, black, sometimes even red. Gnobins love to dress in very elegant and ornate clothing. It's common to see a Gnobin dressed in formal clothes during everyday life.
