Pheo (5e Race)

Pheo

”Creation occurs through destruction.”

The Pheo race are magical embodiments of fire. Tuned to the elements around them, bound to not only the world but time itself. Usually living in very hot places, they live on a planet plain called Stoicheia and can travel to other plans. Pheos are very inward creatures who usually keep to their tribe, though they sometimes go out to explore and meet those of other races. Pheos have three genders; Aaron, Bellon, and Carmon. They also have the secondary genders of female (huang) or male (feng) that they choose when they have existed for 10 years, not all Pheos choose a secondary gender wanting to only have their birth gender. A different sound thing is added at the end of the title of either the Pheos name or what their clan is known as for each of the three genders (ly for Aaron, ba for Bellon, and er for Carmon). Pheos have slightly pointed ears like half-elves might have.

Pheos have four birth parents two are known as “great parents” which are considered to be the stronger two and the other two are just called parents. Pheos have four names, one which changes throughout their existence. The first is known as their venture name given by their parents and great parents (sometimes godparents), this name always has something to do with fire, weather it’s about fire, the wood that burns, or even coal. This name is used by other Pheos to refer to them on a regular basis. The second name is the rebirth name which changes throughout their existence, this name could be anything desired at that moment in time and usually doesn’t change until rebirth, but can be change every ten years. The third name is their element or spirit name which most of the time ends up being a combination of their true name and venture name, this name is decided by their odyssey at birth. The last name is their true name which is rarely used and embodies themself, this name can also be anything but it always shows the nature of a Pheo, they are usually really long consisting of multiple names even though it’s considered one name, as it has to mention everything about the Pheo. True names are kinda poetic in a way, they are never the exact meanings like if someone had a name meaning “tall one” it would be referring to a strong personality, confidence… All Pheo instinctively know their true name. Young Pheos are called Phix. Other information like history will be else wear.
