Application-Only Races: Difference between revisions

Mongrelmen share traits of beasts. Horrific and deformed, they are shunned and hunted by most civilised people. The mongrelmen are believed to be the result of a changeling curse, or the degenerate progeny of shapechangers frozen in a morphing stage. The few Mongrelmen who manage to survive to adulthood grew into a small community, hidden, in the alleys of the Mongrelwoods. Most of them pay homage to "the Hidden One", believing in the ritual of feasting which involves the consumption of the flesh of dead humanoids. By consuming the flesh, they believe they will slowly take the characteristics of those species and that by consuming enough different species, the Hidden One will restore their <pure> form -- some more feral Mongrelmen believe this will grant them the power to shapechange as a true Lycanthrope.

Build your character as you would think an Aasimar/Tiefling/Genasi -- but rather than having features linked to the planar -- the Mongrels have disgusting features of animals that they CANNOT hide. These features should be OBVIOUS to those who read your description, if you do not hide them. They are loners, paranoid and fearful of most civilized men. Certain tribes of Mongrelmen have grown so akin to beasts that they have gone more feral and evil . The rare members of their kind  that are sharing the traits of many animals are referred to Mongrelfolk Pariah.
