Lykin Race
Lykin’s are shapeshifting
humanoids who have features that
can allow them to pass as Elves.
Their teeth are typically fanged.
They have ears that are slightly
longer and sharper than elf ears.
Their eyes are typically black,
orange, or yellow. They can appear
more animalistic, sporting fur,
fangs, talons, tails, and other
features that represent the animal
they are connected to.
Lykin believes that the more one
of their kind appears like their
beast spirit, the more lives they
have lived. In the still existing
tribes, Lykins that appear more
animalistic are typically more
powerful than other members of
their community. These
individuals can be incredibly gifted
intellectually, physically,
spiritually, or some combination
of the three.
People of the East
Lykin are the native mortal race of
Braxia. They have been hunted,
subjugated, and dominated to the
point of near extermination. The
remaining tribes have moved into
the numerous mountains or
escaped farther east into Darkmist.
The remaining Lykin exist in
servitude or in a state of desperate
survival. They have been pushed to
the darkest places of the Eastern
Continent and are forced to carve
out new homelands against the
nightmares of the world. Free
Lykin either attempt to remain
unseen and untouched by the
Braxans, or they are finding ways
to help their people escape this
fate.
Lykin seek the help of their Beast
and Nature Gods to drive the
Braxans, and their god of Light,
from their lands.
