Grimkin
Heritage – under construction
Regardless of an individual’s Culture, their ancestors likely come from one of the following groups which determines a few of their notable physical characteristics.
For Hinfolk, this mainly affects their visual appearance pre-adulthood, as Varian people have the most potential for natural, physical changes over the course of their lives. Due to their long-time influence and connection with the other species of the Beanut Lands, the Hinfolk have established themselves in all areas of the continent for countless generations, giving them the most robust selection of Heritage of all the Beanut Lands species.
Note: Your Heritage choice is purely for storytelling and may have narrative implications, but will not affect your characters stats, attributes, skills, or abilities.
The features listed below are the most common for each specific Heritage group, but features that are not mentioned will default to the typical physicality found on the Biology page. You can find the general physical traits on the main Species page.
