Rubah
Races • DnD 5e
Appearance
In general, a rubah looks like a Homeborn with animalistic characteristics. Due to living in the same area and needing the same skill, almost everyone in a rubah sultanate has a similar modification. As a rubah gets stronger and older, they will grow metamorph into a more and more beastial form, adopting more and more animalistic features.
Culture
Strength. If there is a word that would describe a rubahn culture, it would be that. Do you want to protect or subjugate? To rule or to be left alone? If you are strong, you are able to choose. However, different sultanates may place emphasis on different types of strengths and put down others. Some might treasure raw power while others value mastery over magic or just pure intellect. The strongest is elected to become the sultan or ruler or the sultanate.
History
It is said that rubahs are a sect of bloodborne homeborn who have naturally selected the most useful adaptation. Rubahs are widely accepted by other races as long as their proclivity for combat is not too outwardly shown. In history and even the modern times, you will very often see rubah amongst the mercenaries for hire.
Location
Rubahs can often be found in the dangerous wilderness of Eastern Shimon. However, these days, they have attempted to create sultanates in more dangerous locations like central Shimon and even Olhom.

As a guide, each time you gain a modification, 20% of your body is replaced with an animalistic appearance. In addition, usually Rubah from the same area starts with the same modification at first.
