Moroifolks (3.5e Race)

Moroifolks

Moroifolks are alive, mortal and born type of vampires

Personality

Most moroifolks simply feel more at home on the road than in a settlement. Having little formal training, a great many of these journeyers become fighters and rogues.

Physical Description

Moroifolks are said to be very beautiful. Moroifolks's skin is described as being very pale and their bodies are slim and tall. Moroi are much taller and slimmer than humans. Standing next to their Dhampir guardians they look very pale, very tall, but also less muscular. Which they are. Moroifolk females and males are described as possessing a supernatural beauty. They have a pair of fangs that extended and retractable from canine teeth that use for feeding, which come out when about to bite, and angry.

Relations

As moroifolks are scions of evil, few races view them favorably. They share an affinity for those half-breeds whose sinister ancestry also sets them apart from human society, particularly tieflings and half-orcs. Humans view them with a combination of fear and pity, though such feelings often devolve into hatred and violence. Other humanoid races, such as dwarves, elves, and halflings, simply shun them. Similarly, moroifolks bear a deep-seeded loathing for living creatures, their hatred planted by jealousy and fed by frustration.

Alignment

Most moroifolks are evil

Lands

Most moroifolks do not feel comfortable being in the sunlight, though they still can be outside during the day time.

Religion

Most moroifolks succumb to the evil within their blood. They are unnatural creatures, and the foul influence of their undead heritage makes an evil outlook difficult to overcome. Those who struggle against their wicked natures rarely progress beyond a neutral outlook.

Language

Like humans

Names

Lacking a culture and unified traditions, moroifolks share humans' predilection for a diversity of names, and most keep their human birth names. Many moroifolks take the surname of the towns or regions in which they were born, or use a surname derived from a significant event.
