Myosines[edit]

Personality[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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.

Alignment[edit]

Myosines may be of any alignment. However, they are lawfully inclined and are usually lawful.

Lands[edit]

Myosine are found all over the realm of Aquiter, but specifically from the nation of the Mazin Kingdom, their ancestral home.

Religion[edit]

Myosine typically worship gods which enjoy honor, mercy, and bards. They are fond of dance and religious expression is sometimes done through dance.

Language[edit]

Myosines speak Common.

Names[edit]

Names typically sound English or European, but this is merely a product of their environment, and can be practically anything.
