Beetlefolk

This is a work in progress article and subject to changes in the future

A small, but very bulky beetle drunkenly climbs on top of the tavern's counter. With his obnoxiously loud voice, he tells the exaggerated stories of his most recent adventures. Suddenly, another equally drunk beetle, with a horn instead of pincers on his head, tackles the boaster off the counter. The two immediately clash, to the joy of the other folk in the tavern, who eagerly bet on the outcome of the fight.

Colorful Chitin

Blue, red, green, and yellow, shining or mat, dotted or striped. The chitinous platings of beetles come in all forms and colors. For some, their strong chitin is a sturdy and protective shield. Others use their vibrant appearance to charm their way through life. Some may have a pair of wings. Other's heads are adorned by an imposing horn. Some Beetlefolks are bulky and stout, while others are lean and frail. Their sizes vary greatly; Some barely standing taller than 3 feet, while others grow above 6 feet. No two beetles are quite alike.

Bugs of the World

The vast variation in subraces makes the beetlefolk into a very diverse race, not only in appearance but also in demeanor. The subrace of the beetle brings about a predisposition for a particular way of life. As such, you will find many rhinoceros beetles taking up the life of a soldier. On the other hand, a ladybug will most likely care for the sick or the young, and a firefly will seek the thrill of adventure. However, beetles are adaptable and, as such, fit into any society and work any kind of profession. As varied as their professions are their morals. Depending on their race or upbringing, beetle's morals, alignments, and customs vary greatly, often adopting the way of life of races they live amongst.
