SocietyThe Nasir are a race of fey blooded shape changers and are able to shift freely between human and animal form. They are typically found in isolated communities either in woodlands, mountains or by the coast. They generally keep within the community but do venture into city-states, disguised of course, to watch other races.
PersonalityNasir are playful, friendly and lighthearted. They are competitive and admire friends and hold their friendship and families to be very important. Nasir are vegetarians and do not believe in harming other living creatures unless to defend friends or home.
Appearance
Nasir characteristics can vary depending on the clan. Their skin color can range from blue to green to purple hues. Their hair can also vary from jet black to pure white. They are small in stature only standing about 3.5 to 4 feet tall. They usually way between 80 to100 pounds. Their eye color will usually match their skin color however on rare occasion their eyes maybe gold. Nasir men can sometimes have long side burns, but rarely ever any facial hair. The may have pronounced lower canines, furry bodies or closed gill slits in their neck depending on their clan. Another interesting characteristic from their fey heritage is three small gemstones that appear in the center of their forehead in humanoid form. They like to wear simple, comfortable and practical clothes. In animal form Nasir are almost indistinguishable from their normal animals except that the animal is colored the same as the Nasir’s human form. The one unfortunate characteristic of the Nasir is their life span. It is believed that their ancestors performed a crux or broke fey law. Their punishment was that they not only were stripped of their immortality and banished from the Reverie and fey courts but also cursed to with a very short life span. Most Nasir only live at most 50 to 60 years.
Affiliations
Nasir are cautious of most races except the Night elves. Though their curiosity often leads them into large settlements. They do at times befriend humans and other races if treated well. They generally assume their animal form when infiltrating settlements outside their woodland homes and work well with the dochar. Nasir sometimes choose a life of adventure to explore the world, as they do have a natural curiosity.
Allegiance
They tend to rely on clan ties and personal honor. They are wild and value freedom. Some Nasir strongly favor good, family and friendship.
Region
Nasir do not have lands of their own but tend to settle in wild areas away from civilizations where they set up self-reliant villages.
Religion
Nasir may practice nature worship and have celebrations and festivals that are clearly tied to natural events such as eclipses, solstices and equinoxes. Nasir shamans channel the power of nature through a partnership with it.
