Kamefolk (RP 13)
Kamefolk (RP 13)
Kamefolk tend to be bulky and slow in both movement and speech. They are incredibly long-lived, reaching adulthood at age 60 and living on average to be around 600 years of age. They are about the same height as humans, but weigh significantly more, due to their heavy shells. The Average Kamefolk weighs over 400 lbs. Their large hard shells give them good protection from attacks which can make up for their slow speed.
Kamefolk are a peacefully race who live in small communities. Their settlements are commonly located near coasts, and rivers. They tend to be very religious and their community leaders are often their shamans and other religious figures. All Kamefolk are generally very hardworking and motivated. Some believe that if they do not do their job, they won’t survive in the world. So, they must be very productive. Due to their diligent nature they are viewed by most other species are responsible and trustworthy.
