Skyllian Rogues

Appearance

Ki-chard small, humanoid creatures that are made entirely from ooze. Like other humanoids, they have 2 hands and legs but are more flexible when it comes to length as they are able to stretch and squash, changing the shape of their body. They can have anywhere from one to a dozen eyes and vary wildly in color and talents.

Culture

Unlike other races, ki-chard’s differences are not borne from years of living in a different condition but originate from genetic diversity. Those with the ability to change their form are hailed as leaders while others are relegated to warriors, artisans and even serfs. Ki-chard stick together in their walled cities, fearing the outside world. It is said that this fear stems from the ruling class’ fear mongering but any actual evidence often disappears.

History

Ki-chard fears the outside world and usually the only interaction that happens with the walled cities is with the Ruling and Warrior class of their society. They do not participate in any external conflicts but neighboring countries are often worried about how little they know about the Ki-Chard. In modern days, not much has changed. Neighboring countries are still unsure if they are truly a threat or are they all talk.
