Zynevlin[edit]

Personality[edit]

Cheerful and outgoing, these mysterious beings often show up where you would least expect them. They will wander into houses, manors, castles, uninvited without a care in the world. They are naturally curious and to satisfy this curiosity, they will explore where they want, when they want to. Their ears and tail give them away easily as they are hard to hide and in general, Zynevlin don't feel as if they need to hide them anyway. Zynevlin are adept at getting into trouble and while not inherently mischievous they are mistaken as such because of their wandering ways and the fact they enjoy exploring other people's houses and property. They are fairly childish in their personality, but not selfish. Zynevlin enjoy being outdoors, and have a hard time staying inside, especially if it is a nice day out. They have a hard time concentrating on a single task if it is hard or not very fun to them.

Physical Description[edit]

Generally a adult Zynevlin will stand about five to five and a half feet tall, both male and females. They have large patches of fur that cover their chests, back, and along the back of their arms down to the backs of their hands. Fur also runs down the front of their legs and on top of their feet as well. Most Zynevlin have long hair braided, or styled to their own preference. Eye color is always neon Green, Yellow, Silver, or Red. Their hair and fur are always the same color, and can be brown, black, white, silver, red, or gray. They have roundish eyes, and furry ears like a fox, along with a long bushy tail that sticks out from their tailbone. Most Zynevlin are sleek and slender, but as with most races there are exceptions, some are fairly lazy and fat as well.

Relations[edit]

Zynevlin only have a handful of villages, and all are located deep in forests away from cities. They enjoy every race's company, but get along very well with the Halflings and Humans, and have a bit of trouble with the Elves and Dwarves.

Alignment[edit]

Zynevlin have no alignment restrictions, however very few are ever evil as they are a happy and cheerful race.

Lands[edit]

They live deep in forests, away from large cities as they enjoy being outdoors and in the sun. They hate being indoors for to long, and shy away from caves and dungeons, however if they are with others, they may explore anyway to satisfy their curiosity.

Religion[edit]

Zynevlin have no real religion, but often worship gods and goddesses that represent joy, happiness, travel, and adventure.

Language[edit]

They speak common, and Zynef. Zynef is a series of high pitched whines and cries which only those who can hear extremely high pitched noises can hear.
