God Seeker

This race was created for the Iosenia and Mirror Campaign Setting in mind. Discuss with your DM if it's okay to use this for another campaign.

Physical Description

God Seekers are lookalikes to regular humans, with little differentiation in physical description. They have height, weight, skin, hair and eye pigmentations with variations like that of a normal human. However, a God Seeker is always very well built or lithe in musculature. They are known to have odd eyes or odd hair that supposedly is their trademark.

History

God Seekers are born in human societies and live just like humans. However, their souls are power cores stronger than any humans. The original race originated from the need for energy sources for the worlds of Iosenia and Mirror. God Seeker's souls were the batteries chosen. They were created with the innate desire to scale the tower of Tybblah to become God, hence God Seeker, and ultimately fail and die trying, thus allowing their souls to fuel the Cauldron.

Society

God Seekers are solitary from one another and rarely get along with those of their own. Often, they believe themselves to be regular humans and so never bother making a distinct society of their own.

God Seeker Names

God Seekers have names given to them by their parents that are typical of the culture they grow up in.
