Myosines (3.5e Race)

=Myosines=

Personality
Myosines are a polite sort of people, often embroidered in ideals of honor, nobility, and mercy. The typical myosine tries to uphold these ideals, even if it does occasionally give them an air of snootiness if they seem to lord their superior ways over others.

Physical Description
Summary::Myosines are humanoids with rodent-like features and sparse hair. They possess snouts with whiskers (and males have an additional two large, tendril whiskers anywhere from 2 inches to almost a foot in length) and rat-like ears. They have enlarged claw-hands and large feet disproportionate to their body. They have digitigrade legs and a long, hairless, prehensile tail generally used for balance. They range in various colors, generally natural browns, whites, black, and reds, and their fur is thin, just enough to color their otherwise pink or brown skin. They do have hair on their heads, which is usually allowed to grow long in both males and females.

Relations
Myosines are tolerant of others, calm in mind and slow to act and judge. However they seem distant and often do not make friends easily, preferring the life of the quiet observer, setting examples for others to follow instead.
