Human Variant - Pariah
HUMANOID
As a Human Variant - Pariah, you have these special traits.
A human with Elven ancestry, however their blood is so deluded that they're no longer considered Half-Elf or Elven. They look human, can have any skin or hair color and can be thin or broad with slightly pointed ears or elongated eyes. Usually between 5 to 7 feet tall with men being slightly taller than women.
In the Kingdom of Therassia they're referred to as Pariahs as they bring shame to their noble houses and can be outcasts or hidden indoors out of the public's eyes. Most houses take care to maintain their bloodlines and ensure they keep procreating with full-blooded Elves to keep Half-Elven heirs as their house leaders.
