Zamin (3.5e Race)

The Zamin

Personality

The Zamin, regardless of whether they are good, neutral, or evil, always seem to have a stereotypically evil personality. The Zamin are also very unlikely to break promises of any sort, because they have a common belief of keeping their honor.

Physical Description

The Zamin typically stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller than women. The Zamin are usually thinner than most others, but can still be well built. Their skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, their hair from black to blond (curly, kinky, or straight), and their facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Zamin usually don't have part of other races within their bloodline, but it is still common to. The Zamin have short life spans, reaching adulthood at about age 15 and rarely living even a single century.

Relations

The Zamin are not commonly welcomed anywhere, mostly because of their common Mercenary/Assassin work, so the Zamin do not like them in return, as they feel that others do not respect them. If someone isn't rude to the Zamin, they are also treated kind in return, but very rarely does this ever happen.

Alignment

The Zamin are very usually Lawful, and most commonly Neutral, sometimes Evil, and every so often Good.

Lands

The Zamin like to live anywhere that they are respected at, which is very hard to find for them.

Religion

There are no general deities that the Zamin worship, if they worship any. There are few Zamin who either don't believe in deities, or don't believe that the deities deserve the worshipping.

Language

The Zamin usually speak common, but some few speak Elven as well.

Names

The Zamin are usually given names by their parents, in which those names can be from any race. Although, their names can change if they do something extraordinary. (Ex: You burned an entire very large/important outpost down, so you are given the name Aidan, meaning Fire) If a Zamin loses their memory, they are named by their characteristics. (Ex: You are very strong, so you are named Aaron, meaning strength; You are very beautiful, so you are named Adara, meaning beautiful.) Note that it is only a coincidence that all of the example names start with A. The Zamin names are usually names that fit in with the region they live in, and are not restricted to any one type of name.
