Karanoan (3.5e Race)

Karanoan
Summary::A race of immortal playful humanoid fey from the Karanoa, a misty lost forest. The karanoan are notable for being quite mysterious and isolationist, the overwhelming majority prefer to stay sheltered in their wood than taking risk and venture outside.

Personality
Thanks to the fact karanoans never achieve true maturity, they are almost always playful and innocent. The Karanoa provide them with food and safety and they are naturally immortal, as a result they do not quite understand the concept of death. Those who experience hardship outside the Karanoa tend to grow much more mature, understanding that life is not all about playing, but still retain more than a bit of their old innocent selves.

Physical Description
Karanoans look much like young humans, they are on average a little shorter, typically have fairly pale skin and can have a much wider range of eyes and hairs color (from blonde, auburn and typical brown to green or bright pink). Since karanoans do not age past a certain point they are often confused for human children or teenager with sometime funny hair and eye colors.

Relations
Since the Karanoa is a very isolated place and is almost impossible to enter without a karanoan guide, the karanoans have almost no relation with other races. Most races confuse them for short humans or tall halflings.

Alignment
Karanoan tend to be overwhelmingly good aligned, with a few neutral karanoans and almost unheard of evil karanoans.

Lands
All karanoans are from the Karanoa, a misty lost forest which actually exist in own dimensional space. It is said the Karanoa link between multiple material plane but it inhabitants are extremely ignorant of it. Navigating the Karanoa is almost impossible for non-karanoans, more often than not leading to outside the forest and wasting countless hours.

Religion
Since they barely understand the concept of 'outside' and 'death', it come to no surprise that they are not particularly pious.

Language
While they do not ahve their own language, karanoans prefer to speak sylvan and 'tinkertongue'. They also have the natural ability to speak with animals and plants.

Names
Karanoans are not born like most humanoid, they do not have parents. They tend to choose their own name, which can honestly take a great variety of forms.
