Karivik (3.5e Race)

Karivik
Summary::The kariviks are a nascent specie of intelligent xenoblooded creature with powerful psionic powers who were uplifted from a race of savage insane creatures. The unknown uplifters gifted the race with powerful psionic mind and flesh that seemingly answer to their will. The uplifting however was not completely successful, leaving the race extremely mentally unstable and resulting in them almost going extinct within a year of uplifting. The few who survive managed to keep their population on the low-medium end of viable (a few million individuals). Many karivik become wanderer of the stars, seeking their own fame and destiny while other try to cure the racial insanity that plague their race,

The uplifted kariviks look like a regular humanoid creature, they usually have green skin and colourful hairs a eyes. Because of their uplifting the kariviks's body react immensely to their mind, allowing them to reshape it with ease and to a degree most consider discomforting. Since they have the natural ability to shapeshift to a degree they can look like a lot of things.

Kariviks have a short lifespan, whether this is because of their uplifting or not is unknown. They are more than a little annoyed about their short lifespan and seeking immortality is not an uncommon goal among kariviks.
