Races & Variants

Available Races

Aos SΓ­

Similar to the older perception of elves in Europe, connected to supernatural and divine traits. In Theros, the Aos Si are instead servants to both the fey wild and the Mythic Gods.

Astral Children

Astral Children are made from stardust. Some even spontaneously form, fully grown or not. While others may generate in the wombs of mortals of any sentient race; though they usually do not share any real physical similarities with their birth mother. The question on how Astral Children form is one that goes incredibly unanswered, it is hypothesised that they are formed from the fleeing souls of Suns and Stars that have died; their births signaled by the supernova of a dying star. Whatever the case may be, they often show incredible talent even surpassing that of other mortals. Their enlightened minds alone are capable of warping the material plane. Some even have exhaustive memories of life floating among the stars.

In theros, you are instead likely a being born from Kruphix or a similar God, a being created out of sight of the other gods through means unknown even to yourself.

Awakened Cat

NOT ALLOWED AS PLAYER CHARACTER RACE AS OF 12 OCT 2020
Version 3.0. Gifted (though others would claim cursed) with consciousness via magic in the form of an intelligence equal to that of an average human, the awakened cat walks a narrow path between two worlds. They are forever removed from their animalistic life but are still driven by many of their old instincts and experiences. A cat would think nothing of consuming the meat of a fallen foe. They have little need or want for most possessions, though all tend to have a few special items they guard fiercely. They have a tendency toward solitude but will happily join in with a party for warmth, shelter, and easy meals. The promise of a warm lap and generous scratching behind the ears is good incentive as well.

Centaur

You know what a Centaur is. you can make one inspired by Ravnica, Greece, or beyond. This version is meant to replace GGR's and MOoT's version, since TDM didn't like it.

Lesser Medusae

The half blood brood of a lineage forged from time immemorial when a medusa and a human produced a child. People don't like medusae.

Lesser Naga

The half blood brood of a lineage forged from time immemorial when a Naga and a human produced a child. Children of the Snake and poison goddess.

Skeleton

Very little explanation needed, your character was once dead, but isn’t anymore. Be careful, Undead will be eliminated on sight. Still fun to play, ask SmirkySkull in order to join the skeleton army.

Spriggan

Spriggans are a race of strange plant-like people with origins heavily involved in the Feywild. They are feared and often despised due to their unruly and occasionally malevolent trickster nature. The growth of Spriggans is often one that is unintentional, occurring either from Feywild influence leaking into the material plane or through procreation by other Spriggans and a subsequent seed being formed. Spriggans will then sprout from the ground appearing like normal saplings until they reach maturity, at which point they will uproot themselves to move about like any other forest critter. Their elusive nature is matched only by the Firbolgs they share their environment with, but a spriggan is far more liable to interfere with those that intrude upon their territory.

In Theros, they are often connected to the wild and trickster Gods of Theros.

Unnatural Hybrid

Simic Hybrid replacement. Nonspecific and more abberant/abbyssal, tending to be a Cultist who mutated themselves to fit with their dark gods and patrons.

Vaishnava

The Vaishnava is a race similar to the Kalashtar, but with less psionics and more cleric flavoring. They serve as timeless observers of the world that live to indulge themselves in each fleeting desire. In Theros, they are thought to be beings that are aspects of the larger gods, exemplifying the eternal observer role of the Gods of Theros.
