Lucario (3.5e Race)

Lucarios

Personality

Lucarios are very peaceful beings. Those who live among the forests often live a life akin to a hermit or monk, a peaceful individual simply living his/her life. Those that live in the city are often drawn to serving causes they deem to be noble enough. Accepting of almost any being, they are not known for discrimination.

Physical Description

Lucarios stand a most a few inches over four feet tall, most commonly being about four feet exactly. Their ears occasionally going a little higher. The bulk of their bodies are a covered in dark true blue short fur, with black markings at the ends of their arms and legs and a black stripe across their faces. Their torsos are a sandy color. Narrow, pointed ears stick almost straight up going up to seven or eight inches. Spikes jut out of the back of their front paws, and four black dreadlocks-like appendages dangle from the backs of their heads. Their eyes are blood red, sharp and acute, and they weigh about 120 pounds.

Relations

Lucarios are fairly individualistic beings, and their viewpoints and relations vary significantly. Some serve as emissaries or champions to royalty, some are monks, and many are forest creatures.

Alignment

Lucarios are not necessarily either chaotic or lawful. At the same time, they are, almost exclusively good beings in alignment. Lucarios respect another's viewpoints and decisions, but often despise acts they deem as altogether evil.

Lands

Lucarios often live in temperate forests, though they occasionally dwell in cities or towns. Those that live in cities often travel into the wilderness.

Religion

Lucarios rarely worship; the idea of deities is often a foreign concept to them. When they do follow gods or goddesses, it is often a nature goddess, or one representing an aspect of the world, such as the sun or water.

Language

Lucarios have no language of their own. As a species, they are inherently telepathic, and those that do not speak refined languages simply project their emotions and thoughts to communicate.

Names

Lucarios often put much less emphasis on names as other sentient beings, the idea another peculiar one from civilization. When they do name themselves, one often names his/herself, or simply adopt a nickname given to them.
