They reject the stereotype of the "caregiver without desires of their own"; they demand reciprocity ("I care for others because they care for me"). Their greatest narrative conflict: when to say "no" to preserve their own sanity.</p><p></p><p>[ATTACH=full]430059[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>Now PC species based in Heavy Metal music.

[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9863303, member: 6802378"] I have tried with Owenchat: PC species based in popular archetypes from fiction for young females: 📜 1. Loreweavers (Inspiration: "the intelligent researcher") Humanoids with translucent skin that reveals luminescent veins when they concentrate; descendants of fairy archivists who wove knowledge into their DNA. TraitMechanical +1 to an attribute of your choice Customization without penalty Innate Curiosity: Advantage on Intelligence (History) and Investigation rolls when seeking information about lost civilizations or artifacts Eidetic Memory: Once per long rest, you can accurately recall any text, map, or conversation you have witnessed (like the Comprehend Languages spell without components) Languages: Common +2 of your choice (representing their thirst for multicultural knowledge) 💡 Ideal Classes: Wizard (School of Lore), Artificer, Rogue (Inquisitive) 🌍 Narrative Background: The Loreweavers are not "born wise": their power emerges from constant intellectual effort. Their society values critical debate over blind obedience—a subtle critique of the passive "smart girl who just observes" archetype. 🌾 2. Terracotta (Inspiration: "country girl / historical romance") Humanoids with skin textured like baked clay, originating from fertile valleys where the land itself responds to their care; they are not "simple peasants," but ecological guardians with an ancestral connection to natural cycles. TraitMechanical +1 to Constitution Physical resistance forged by working the land Earth's Roots: Advantage on saving throws against effects that move you against your will (push, forced teleportation) Seasonal Harvest: Once per long rest, you can create rations for up to 6 creatures for 24 hours (representing their ability to farm/gather even in hostile terrain) LanguagesCommon + one of: Druid, Terran, or a language of earth creatures (e.g., Terran) 💡 Ideal Classes: Druid (Circle of the Land), Ranger (Hunter), Cleric (Nature Domain) 🌍 Narrative Background: They reject the "rural innocent" stereotype: they are environmental strategists who use agricultural knowledge to sabotage invaders (e.g., cultivating hallucinogenic mushrooms in enemy fields). Their romance is not "rescue by an outsider," but rather political alliances to protect their lands. 🌌 3. Stargazers (Inspiration: "the dreamer") Humanoids with large eyes and star-like pupils; they are not "naive escapists," but visionaries who perceive future probabilities as moving constellations. Trait Mechanical +1 to Wisdom Intuition as a survival tool Probabilistic Sight: Once per turn, you can reroll an attack, saving throw, or skill check you just made (representing their ability to "see alternate paths") Lucid Dreaming: During a short rest, you can enter a dreamlike trance to receive a narrative clue from the DM about the next challenge (max. 10 words) Languages: Common + Celestial or one of your choice 💡 Ideal Classes: Sorcerer (Divine Soul), Bard (College of Whispers), Warlock (The Great Old One) 🌍 Narrative Background: Their "daydreaming" is tactical strategy, not distraction. In battle, they anticipate enemy movements; in diplomacy, they read hidden intentions. They break the stereotype of the "weak" daydreamer: their greatest weapon is mental preparation. 🌊 4. Kelpfolk (Inspiration: "the assimilated foreigner") Amphibious humanoids with skin textured like seaweed; they are not "exotic outsiders," but climate refugees who adapt their ancestral culture to new environments without losing their identity. Trait Mechanical+1 to Charisma Ability to navigate foreign cultures Amphibious Breathing: You can breathe air and water Cultural Bridge: Advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) saves when interacting with creatures of a different culture than your own Rapid Adaptation: Once per long rest, choose one saving throw: you have advantage on that save for 1 hour (representing their ability to adjust to new threats) Languages: Common + Aquatic + one of your choice 💡 Ideal Classes: Bard (College of Eloquence), Rogue (Mastermind), Cleric (Peace Domain) 🌍 Narrative Background: They reject the narrative of "total assimilation": instead of abandoning their culture, they merge traditions (e.g., marine rituals adapted to terrestrial temples). Their conflict is not about "being accepted," but about negotiating mutual respect without losing their essence. 🏹 5. Stonekin (Inspiration: "the sportswoman/athlete") Robust humanoids with skin markings reminiscent of granite veins; they are not "tomboys" (a problematic term), but athletes whose physical strength is intertwined with mental discipline and tactical leadership. Trait Mechanical +1 to Strength or Dexterity Choice that reflects your athletic style (brute strength vs. agility) Trained Body: Your Constitution value for calculating maximum HP increases by +1 per level (e.g., level 5 → +5 extra HP) Athletic Discipline: Advantage on Strength (Athletics) and Dexterity (Acrobatics) rolls Languages: Common + one of your choice 💡 Ideal Classes: Fighter (Champion or Battle Master), Monk (Way of the Ascendant Dragon), Ranger (Beast Master) 🌍 Narrative Background: Their culture celebrates all athletic bodies, without gender hierarchies. Competitions are not "for show," but rather communal rituals where cooperation (e.g., relay races) is valued more than individualism. They break the stereotype of the "masculinized" athlete: their strength is an expression of collective care (lifting rocks to save villagers, not just to show off). 🕯️ 6. Lumenfolk (Inspiration: "the precocious sage who advises and cares") Soft-skinned humanoids that emit a faint glow in the dark; they are not "lifeless surrogate mothers," but community healers whose empathy is a strategic skill, not a sacrificial duty. Trait Mechanical: +1 to Wisdom Empathy as social intelligence Comforting Light: As an action, you emit a faint light in a 10-foot radius for 1 minute. Allies within that radius have advantage on saves against fear. Shared Healing: When you use a healing hit die to heal yourself, an ally within 5 feet can heal an additional 1d4 HP. LanguagesCommon + one of your choice 💡 Ideal Classes: Cleric (Life or Twilight Domain), Druid (Shepherd), Paladin (Oath of the Watchers) 🌍 Narrative Background: Their "early wisdom" is not naiveté; it is ancestral knowledge passed down orally in marginalized communities. They reject the stereotype of the "caregiver without desires of their own"; they demand reciprocity ("I care for others because they care for me"). Their greatest narrative conflict: when to say "no" to preserve their own sanity. [ATTACH type="full" size="2688x1536"]430059[/ATTACH] Now PC species based in Heavy Metal music. (The videogame "Brutal Legend" gave me the inspiration). 1.

Languages: Common + Necrotic 💡 Ideal Classes: Death Cleric, Paladin (Oathbreaker), Fighter (Rune Knight with death runes) 🌍 Narrative Background: The Morbent see death as transformation, not an end.

[ATTACH type="full" size="1536x1024"]430060[/ATTACH] I didn't like the picture created by Qwen-chat and then I asked ChatGPT and I am happier althought I didn't like the Pyrath had horns like tieflings. I asked Kimi AI new PC species for homemade settings and its answers are fool ideas, and I love this because I can feel suprised like I had discovered something new. [/QUOTE]
