Basic Information

Anatomy

With a thick hide of either green, grey or even an outlandish blue, does the troll-kin stand tall, casting a monstrous appearance sowing many humans with fear for their linage as many link them to brutish orcs or other cruel tribal groups in the Dozango islands. But many Trollkin are a lot closer to their human ancestry than most would expect, they are of quick wit like their human ancestry and great constitution like their troll forefathers. Their inhumane ancestry reveals itself differently in everyone of their kin, some could even be considered beautiful by human standards with few outlandish traits except perhaps subtle traits such as strange skin color of talon tipped fingers or crude fangs. While others don’t even seem human, with hunched back, sunken in eyes and a vicious gaping mouth of sharp teeth, long limber limps with great hair growth and talons, skin like toads and glowing yellow eyes, or perhabs more stout in nature with burly inhumane strength and stature.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Most Trollkin have a strong connection to the spiritual realm, some even being able to communicate with the dead at-will, while others have to be places where the veil is weak, as such Trollkin who live among the tribal sites have evoled a society in which kinship to the dead is strongly bound. But those who leave behind such lives or where born away from it, have a deep sense of loneliness due to a lack of this connection, causing them to seek out societal groups and blend in to get this missing sense of belonging.
