Emotion Stalker (3.5e Race)

Emotion Stalker
Emotion Stalkers live hidden in the astral plane waiting to be born of parents of their choice, the Emotion Stalkers achieve this by the coming together of a pair bonded Emotion Stalker. When an Emotion Stalker is born he is pair bonded with another Emotion Stalker of the opposite sex, the two Emotion Stalkers will die at exactly the same time, when this happens the life essence of the two passes on and becomes the next two pair of Emotion Stalkers. The Emotion Stalker will choose a 'host' if you will, and is born of them. The Emotion Stalker will appear exactly as the race would typically look until the Emotion Stalker reaches the age of 16 when his Astral powers emerge, at this time he will attack his parents and kill them, he will do this by using his new powers to confuse his parents either into killing each other or killing themselves.

The Emotion Stalker will then flee and find a place to reside as he trains his powers in secret on animals, monsters or civilians. When the Emotion Stalker reaches his full power, he can the disguise himself and cause havoc as he sees fit. Emotions Stalkers, while not immortal, live for quite a long time, up to about 1000 years.

However in very rare cases an Emotion Stalker may become aware of his power before he reaches the age of 16 and may choose to flee to stop him from killing his parents or any other people around him these Emotion Stalkers use their powers on disguising themselves so that they may be accepted in their new society.

The hair will also change from the normal color to a very bright white.

Females: The females transformation is much the same as the males, only their skin changes to not as dark shade of purple.
