Djinn

The Djinn are mostly spellcasters.The oldest of the race are completely changed into charwood constructs. The Djinn are a proud race of people that will do anything to get what they want. Or think they rightly deserve.

They are a brutal race and are mostly mercenaries.

Personality

The Djinn believe their minds are cages to their magical powers. If they can break free of their cage, they will acquire unlimited power. The Djinn have searched for eons to find a way to break their mind cages, but to no avail. The Djinn have fierce attitudes, and have major issues with humans. Or anything mortal for that matter. The Djinn cannot stand the gods.

History

An evil god told the Djinn that they would free them from their minds if the Djinn did what the gods wanted them to. The Djinn blindfully accepted the deal. The Gods had the Djinn sign a contract that said once the gods were finished with the Djinn, they would release their minds and free them of their own cages. The gods turned on the Djinn and used them as mercenaries. The gods did not break the bargain, but to the Djinn, the gods lied.

Physical Description

Djinn from Clash of the Titans.

Alignment

While Djinn can be of any alignment, they tend to lean towards a more chaotic outlook on life. They have this outlook because on life they were tricked into servitude by the gods.

Lands

The Djinn stick to the desert because they live comfortably in the heat. They are cold-blooded and therefore adapt the the desert.

Language

The Djinn speak Arabic, or what sounds like Arabic. The language automatically causes anyone around them to make a DC against the Djinn's aura of fear or be shaken. Other Djinn are immune to this effect.
