Species: Volkar
Born as one with nature and her elements, the Volkari live as an extension of the world's will. They wander the densest wildernesses and feel at home among the wild creatures of the microcosm.
Volkari mature at the age of 18, and often live to be 300 years old. Once they reach the age of 50, their appearance stops degrading until they are near the end of their lifespan.
Their appearance is similar to that of muscular humans with slightly pointed ears. Their connection to nature can often manifest in strange ways in their bodies as they mature. You can choose two of the examples from the Volkar Features table for how your bloodline affects you, or create your own.
