Minifig (5e Race)

Minifig

they can be whatever you want them to be

Physical Description

Resembling humans in terms of skin tone with an addition of a yellow skin color they stand tall with a slightly blocky frame with circular heads, attachable hair and claw like hands that are much more dexterous than they appear. Due to various subraces, they tend to have distinct looks with regular minifigs having a short blocky appearance with simplistic generic faces as the baseline while the subraces sharing their own unique baseline in terms of how they look

History

A race of construct-like people who have built various buildings, cities and various items, they have a tendency to produce all sorts of things for others or themselves to use however they want. They tend to be focused on building cities, vehicles, weapons and armor and see it as the highest calling one can do. They've mostly avoided getting into wars with other races and mainly remain neutral between conflicts most of the time. Their most notable achievement in urban planning is the massive multilevel and district city known as bricksburg, featuring skyscrapers, castles, pyramids and more in various styles.

Society

Generally split between two sides, the free-spirited creators who wish to constantly build, invent and transform the world around them to the more orderly sorts focused on sticking in their own place in the world and keeping everything running stable, they coexist with each other in relative stalemate. Most of both sides will welcome new opportunities to trade with new neighbors like dwarves or elves or new residents to their city like humans, gnomes and halflings. Some might not like this, viewing either the new opportunities as too restrictive or uncomfortable or new arrivals as too uncreative or too weird to fit in.

Minifig Names

Resembling human naming conventions, their names tend to be simple, straight and to the point.

Male: Greg, Emmet, Bruce, Benny

Female: Lucy, Carol, Nancy, Iris
