Loganian (3.5e Race)

Loganian
Summary::Loganians are a mutant race similar to humans, but with natural claws, scent, and fast healing.

Personality
Most loganians have a moral compass of sorts, but it can be difficult to determine what is the right thing to do when there is so much to be angry about. The issue of anger management is inherent to this race and causes many loganians to become dangerous to themselves and others. However, they are known to be tempered by patient friends or a pretty face.

Physical Description
Loganians are technically medium by D&D standards, but they stand a full hand shorter than most humans (about the height of elves, roughly). What they lack in height, they make up for in breadth of shoulder. They also tend to be quite hairy. Thick, dark hair grows down their arms and legs for both genders. Hair also grows thick on the chest and face of the males. A shaved loganian is generally indiscernible from a human, but left alone, their facial hair grows as wild as a dwarf's. Loganians carry the mutant X gene. Many races also carry the gene, although it may be dormant. This gene manifests in very different ways for different kinds of people. For this kind of people, it causes long claws to come out of their hands, the power of scent, and fast healing.

Relations
Mostly owing to their temperamental nature, most loganians have trouble fitting into polite society and prefer to keep their own company. Through the right persuasion, however, loganians could be convinced to cooperate with most any race in order to get a job done.

Alignment
Their lone-wolf attitude makes loganians tend toward neutrality or chaos, but very rarely are they ever lawful.

Lands
By default, loganians live mostly in human-populated areas, but strike out on their own to live in the wilderness whenever possible.

Language
Common. As a bonus language, loganians may learn anything being spoken openly in their region.

Names
Since most loganians are brought up among humans, they most often have human names, using whatever conventions are common in their area.
