Your Object that you choose is based on your sub-race. they take the form of a male or female but as an objct they do not realy hold to one gender and can change or stay to their liking.

History

The origins of an object head is unclear and unrecorded as the case of finding an object head is very slim. They tend to appear in ruin villages or houses and vary in many different forms from lanterns, to spyingglass, and other various objects. it has been found that different object heads have different traits. Your kind is not looked upon kindly by other races, when found you are most likely to be enslaved or taked to the alchemists as test subjects.

Society

Most object heads tend to live in small cities or towns that accept them. Other than the fact that they don't have normal heads, they act like any normal race.

Object Head Names

The object head itself is more of an augmentation than a born race. They tend to either go with their original name or pick a name of their likings so their names vary vastly.
