[edit] Physical Qualities
Khaastas resemble Lizardfolk, and they could descend from them, however they just share a reptilian appereance: Khaastas have heroic builds, with strong limbs and tail, imposing phisique, fiery reddish scaly hide and a signature flaring frill on their heads, said frill sports wild patterns and shape, unique for each individual. their tail is more used for balance rather than combat; females are equally strong and ferocious as males. unlike most reptilian races, Khaastas do not lay eggs, they born alive, and reach adulthood at 10. Khaastas were created by the Demon Prince Demogorgon as super soldiers, however in a brief moment of generosity he freed them. however, they still inhabit the abyss and usually serve demons as mercenaries. despite this, they are not demons nor demonblooded.
[edit] Playing a Khaasta
Khaastas are mostly seen as bloodthirsty pillagers by other races, however this is just partly true. Khaastas have developed, despite their demonic origin, a twisted sense of honor, since following their chaotic nature brought them to the brinks of extinction. samples of Khaasta honor code are the Birth Scimitar and the Blood Debt: every single khaasta hatchling at age 1 receives a masterwork scimitar, and it will be the seal of their honor, because it was the weapon of its ancestors, if a khaasta loses it, it is considered shamed until it gains a new one or get its scimitar back. the Blood Debt comes when a khaasta loses a ritual fight, and involves mostly protection of the winner. khaastas solve most of their problems and disputes through ritualized combat. however, khaasta honor is perfectly fine with Treachery and Assassination, all good ways to advance in their society. khaastas rarely form friendship, both between each other and with other races, who are usually labeled as weak. however, they are able to have respect for companions.
