Afidae



Afidae are an alien-like humanoid race that have a mysterious past. Afidae were known to have had access to far advanced technology which has now been lost after the Aeon of Dusk. In the present day, Afidae usually keep to themselves and do not have much need for social stimulation unless it is used towards some kind of goal. As such, they may appear cold and distant. Many Afidae are curious intellectuals, who find excitement in discovery and experimentation. There are a couple of small Afidaen civilizations in Leythys, however Afidae are often considered the most scattered and sparse race, as they are found in thin numbers nearly everywhere due to their wandering. Most Afidae seen by other races are male, female sightings are rare and even if they are seen their gender-neutral bodies tend to hide the fact. Afidae are known for their strange ability to be able to shape-shift into other humanoids.

Appearance
A typical Afidae stands around 6'. Skin colors range from white to grey. Their eyes can be white or black. An Afidae's face is often noted for being fairly generic-looking. An Afidae tends to look unassuming. For other races they may be hard to tell apart at a glance.

Society
Within their own society, Afidae appear as quiet, morally-undefined and self-regulated. Within other societies, Afidae tend to be extremely reserved and self-sustained. This leads other races to regard them as weird and unreachable, however Afidaen adventurers may join with wandering parties of other races out of curiosity.
