Ancestry: Ologniyan

Catfolk | Humanoid | Ologniyan

The Ologniyan Catfolk

"Long ago, in the history of Animundi, great Rifts opened up to places across the multiverse, stranding several extraplanar creatures onto the world of duality. Of those were an assortment of Catfolk, who formed tribes and fought with their native kin. As the era of Rifts wore on, however, all tribes would unite for survival and their continued existence. In present day, with the Rifts gone, the land having settled and embracing the catfolk, and now at the helm of a political superpower; the Ologniyan exist in unity with the plane itself and their people.

In the modern era, these unique catfolk are seen as "feline humans" for how common they are and their flexbility. For many, their curiosity and community is sacred to them."

Ologniyan Mindset

You Might...

• Ask a lot of questions, due to either genuine interest or mere observation.
• Avoid interpersonal conflict by giving someone a cold shoulder or by simply leaving the area.
• Have a collection of momentos that hold your interest above all else.

Others Probably...

• Think you monopolize conversations with your pressence or interjections.
• Ascribe more emotion than you feel due to involuntary purring or growling.
• Think you're vain and/or do not understand the things that trip your acute senses.

Description

Physical Description

Although all golarian catfolk walk upright and have soft fur, a tail, large ears, and vertical pupils, they show at least as much variety as ordinary felines. Catfolk have nimble fingers with short claws that are usually retractable.

Catfolk mature quickly and are able to walk at only a few months old, but they start their careers at roughly the same age as humans do and live to be 60 or 70 years of age.
