[edit] Plague Bearers

Plague Bearers are a race of the undead who's sole focus and goal as a people is to rot and decay the worlds, and devour all living things. All they think about is eating and food and it only makes them hungrier.

[edit] Personality

Plague Bearers behave like vultures, preying on the weak, old, and dying; they only seek their own betterment and wil go well out of their way for a meal. They are also very unpredictable and are not very trustworthy, they want food nothing more nothing less. if they have you in their sights as a meal there is no bargaining or reasoning just run.


[edit] Physical Description

They appear quite repulsive and grotesque, yet suprisingly human with tight shrinking skin and bloated muscles; and are preferably covered in filth. They are also thin, enough as to appear sickly. They have dark greenish-brown, lead-grey, pitch-black, or even (rarely) snow-white hair, appearing unkempt, and rarely cut throughout their lives. The males grow very spare facial hair. Their skin is greyish-green and extremely pale, enough so that their veins are clearly visible under their skin. Their eyes are their most striking feature- they glow faintly in darkness, and are greenish-blue, without visible iris, pupil, or white. Their teeth have been sharpened and serated to make eating flesh easier.

[edit] Relations

Due to their incessant hunger , they have been marked as pariahs and are deemed insane. They are outlaws and scavengers usually very agressive even for scavengers.

[edit] Alignment

Due to their hunger they are most definitely chaotic, since all it takes is one skipped meal and theyll try to eat a whole friggin (yes i used friggin to explain them) village.

[edit] Lands

Plague Bearers usually live a nearly solitary lifestyle in some viral swamp or pit where other beings fear to tread for threat of illness. Whenever a large area is left barren and deserted as a result of plague or famine, however,Plague Bearers instinctively move in, one by one, looting what’s been left behind, feeding on the dead and dying, and adapting the environment and buildings to suit their own kind. Inevitably, as if called by some intangible force, more and more gather, until the community has been totally taken over. The original occupants, once they see what they’re up against, rarely try to reclaim their lands. Their main Territory is a large Ex-Drow city in the Underdark, known as Bloodmire Chasm.

[edit] Religion

They tend not to be focused on deities due to their never ending hunger, but they tend to lean towards Deities of death like Nerull.
