Karakasa or Kasa-Obake (3.5e Race)

Karakasas

Personality

Karakasas are either feel extremly strong about humanoids being scum or they feel they are amazing in the sense that that's how they were created. They tend to be rather charasmatic if they want to be.

Physical Description

Karakasas are a special race of reanimated parasols. Although they are not enchanted to become animated but become an actual being of life due to it's 100 year anniversery of living. They tend to have one large eye in the center, a long tongue, one leg and 2 short lanky arms. They normally always weigh anywhere from 35-50 lbs.

Relations

They try to get along well with other races and most races dispise karakasas due to their hidious form. Elves and dwarfs find common ground here becuase they think their hideous. Humans tend to be perfectly fine with this race due to the fact that it was once their household parasol.

Alignment

They tend to be anywhere from Lawful neutral to Lawful good, or chaotic Evil to Chaotic Neutral. But they are never true neutral. This is becuase they always have to feel strongly about either hating other living things or loving them. (As in either the humanoids forgetting them gave them a hatred for all humanoids, or gave them a passion for making up their uselessness).

Lands

Any land with a high humanoid population.

Religion

They do not practice religion mainly because they are pretty much a sort of reincarnation and know nothing of actual religion.

Language

Common. Bonus languages are any as long as that language was used in that parasol's household.

Names

Whatever the parasol was called in the house if it had a nickname, if not than the party applied one to it or the PC chooses a name of his choice he/she heard in the household the parasol lived in.
