Mobian

A pair of thieves are hiding in the woods, dividing their plunder. Suddenly, a gust of wind forms around them as a creature swoops past them, grabbing the bag of money. As the bandits looks behind them, they see an anthropomorphic animal standing on a thick tree branch with their stolen goods. “You’re too slow!” the mobian taunts with a shaking index finger, jumping from the tree and blasting away at incredible speed.

Physical Description

Mobians are various anthropomorphic animals, but most of them resemble small halflings mixed with animal features. The colors of their fur, feathers, or scales are bright in hue. Oddly enough, mobians are almost never seen without shoes and gloves.

History

The mobians originate from the planet of Mobius, a world similar to Earth. On this planet there were 7 magical emeralds that could manipulate time and space and give one immense power. This space and/or time manipulation was referred to as Chaos Control by most, and it is this that caused a tragic event, sending all mobians to different locations in the universe, as well as different times. Some mobians were lucky enough to find each other and gathered around to try to create a society. Others still stray in their newfound worlds, lost.

Society

Mobians, like humans, have a well-developed society. On their home planet, they are an advanced civilization with many technological advancements, and have their own set of various traditions. Mobians tend to act and think like humans do and are about the same intelligence wise. On their home planet, humans can also be found, which tend to differentiate between living in peace or going against the mobian species. One thing that almost all mobian societies have in common, is the intense care and respect for nature, often being against those that harm it for selfish deeds.

Mobian names

Mobians are regularly named most of the time, but sometimes their first name derives from their specific abilities. For example, a mobian with multiple tails will have the first name ‘Tails’. Mobians last names are almost always associated with their subrace. For example, if the creature would resemble a bear, then the character would be named “… The Bear”. Bird mobian last names may be more specific than other mobian races, as they have subraces within their subrace.

Male: Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails the Fox, Jet the Hawk, Storm the Albatross, Knuckles the Echidna

Female: Blaze the Cat, Wave the Swallow, Cream the Rabbit

Mobians

An anthropomorphic race with many different animal subraces based on the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.
Ability Score Increase. You get ability score increase based on the subrace that you choose.
Age. Mobians age at the same rate as humans do, maturing in their late teens and living no longer than a century.
Alignment. Mobians do not tend to any particular alignment. Chaotic mobians are just as commonly found as lawful mobians. Good and evil can also be defined within this pattern.
Size. Mobians are about a foot or two smaller than humans while also being a tad bit lighter, standing at around 4-5 feet tall and weighing at an average of 120-150 lbs. Your size is Medium.
Speed. All Mobians are agile on their feet, as they are adapted to running at fast speeds for long periods of time. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.
The Secret of The Rings. You have some sort of special connection to golden rings and have unlocked their hidden powers. Golden rings are the resource that drives this class, so make sure to spend them wisely, as it may save your life. You start with 10 golden rings. Golden rings are absorbed by you upon contact, and because of this, they cannot be sold by you. But you can buy golden rings almost anywhere for 5 GP each with a maximum of 30 golden rings per store. They can also be found almost anywhere in the wild or in dungeons in groups of 5 or 10.
Speed Boost. You may spend 1 golden ring to move an extra 5 feet, caps at 50 feet per turn.
Extra Life. When reduced to zero health, on your turn, you may spend 100 golden rings to instantly succeed 1 death save. This can be used multiple times however, meaning that 300 rings would be enough to succeed 3 saves.
Ring Weakness. When hit by a critical attack, you lose 25 rings (unless you have less than 25, which then you would lose only what you have) but can get them back by spending one action. They expire after 3 rounds, and if any creature wants to stop you from recollecting your rings, you must roll contesting Dexterity checks. If you win, you collect your rings. If the creature trying to stop you wins, you do not collect your rings.
Mobian Save DC. 8 + your Dexterity score + your proficiency bonus.
Homing Attack. At level 5, you gain the ability to jump into the air, curling into a ball, and launching yourself in a straight line at the closest enemy within your moment range as a weapon. This takes 10 rings, an action and bonus action and does 2d4 slashing damage(3d4 at level 12, 4d4 at 15, and 5d4 at 19.) If the attack lands you can also force the target creature to make a dexterity saving throw vs your Mobian Save DC. If they succeed, you cannot use the homing attack again in this action. If they fail, you knock them 5 feet into the air, allowing you to spend 3 rings to make an additional homing attack on them or the next closest enemy within 30 feet. You may spend up to 9 rings on this feature in the same action. If you target a new enemy they also must fail the same dexterity saving throw in order for you to continue the attack. At level 10 you unlock the ability to charge the attack further by spending another action and 5 more rings to increase the damage die to d6. This can be interrupted at any time by taking damage.
Spin Dash. At level 7, you unlock the ability to spend 20 rings and use an action or reaction to charge up a spin dash by curling and spinning on the ground. After charging up speed, you launch yourself 30 feet in a direction of your choice. All creatures in range that are not in cover must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Mobian Save DC, or take slashing damage (3d6 for the first one hit, 2d6 for the second, and 1d6 for any after), and be knocked prone. On success, they take half as much damage, and they are not prone.
Wall Run. Beginning at level 9, you have figured out that you can mobilize yourself along walls, allowing you to run up, down, across, and even jump off of and run along other walls. You must use the same movement used on the ground to traverse the wall. Meaning if you only have 30 feet of movement, you may use 15 feet of movement on the ground, but still be able to use 15 feet of movement on the wall. However, if you do not move on your next turn, you will fall off of the wall.
Rush. Starting at level 11, you may enter a state of quickness known as a "Rush". Using this feature allows the user to become far quicker, the Rush triggers for 3 rounds, and can be extended after the 3rd round by using it again at the cost of one use. The amount of times you may use the Rush is equal your Dexterity modifier. It grants the user advantage at any saves and checks involving the Dexterity stat during the 3 rounds. It also allows you to multiple your movement speed two fold. You regain all uses of this after a long rest.
What I'm Made Of. At level 2 onward, your unarmored AC is equal to 12 plus your Dexterity mod + Constitution mod.
Languages. You can speak, read and write, Common and one language of your choice.
