Lyn (5e Race)

Lyn

Physical Description

Official game art

The lyn are humanoids with squirrel-like features. They sport large ears to the sides of their head and thick, bushy tails. However, these can also vary widely between lyn, with some that have thinner, dainty tails, and longer, pointed ears. The fur can range from browns, blacks, reds, and even snow white. Lyn are also characteristically short, but they are not lacking in strength of character.

History

The lyn, with their large ears and dainty tails, are descendants from the Kirin, legendary animals that were both mischievous and unpredictable.

The lyn have not survived in this dangerous world by mere chance; they have innately acute senses which steer them clear from danger and allow them to see treachery and deception where others cannot. More famously, the Lyn use these highly attuned senses to converse with beings from the Spirit Realm granting them the ability to commune with familiars and harness the power of the earth.

Personality

The lyn are known for their somewhat unpredictable nature. During a single conversation, it is not unusual for a lyn to convey a multitude of emotions, including hatred, fear, jealousy, love, and respect. As such, it can be a rollercoaster talking with lyn. They even keep their allies guessing and can pull various expressions with record timing, depending on how they feel.
