Willonian
Biology
Stature and Build
Willonian bodies are extremely adaptive. Based on the current season, location, and external influences, a single Willonian’s body can look completely different in a very short time. Those who spend time in colder or more urban environments may take on excess fat reserves, while those living in survivalist or challenging geographic locations will likely be more lean or muscular. While each Willonian may be predisposed to a certain body type from their genetics, they have the most potential to change without making extreme lifestyle changes.
Most Willonians are between 5′ and 6’6″ tall (~152- 198cm)
Complexions
Similar to their body types, Willonian complexions are very diverse and adaptive. Generally, a Willonian’s skin tone at birth will determine their overall coloring, but the lightness or darkness of their skin can easily adjust based on their lifestyle or location, particularly their sun exposure or deprivation. Much like real life humans, groups with a greater history of sun exposure trend toward darker and warmer tones, while those without trend toward lighter and cooler complexions.

Hair
Primarily contained within the warmer tones of the color spectrum, much like the skin tone chart above, Willonians may also develop cooler, neutral tones of hair such as greys, deep olive, raven black, and midnight slate and reds. While hair colors are heavily influenced by their birth Heritage, all Willonian hair colors are possible for all Willonian people.
Eyes
Willonian eye colors can be just about any color of the rainbow, but tend to be more neutral and dark tones such as browns, honey, hazel, grey-blue, olive green, lavender, teal, and black.
Willonian eye colors are heavily influenced by magic use and effects. Those who practice magic over long periods of time may notice some changes or adjustments, especially when actively channeling. While this is not exclusive to Willonians, it is the most dramatically noticeable within this species.
Ears
Willonians have traditional rounded Varian ears, much like real-life humans.
Reproduction
Traditional Reproduction
The Beanut Lands does not have half-species for mechanical clarity, but it is possible for some inter-species relations to produce offspring. A person with mixed-species parentage may exhibit physical traits from a parent of another species. If you are interested in this level of customization for your image and story, please be sure to examine the Heritage subgroups to determine which groups your parents come from. You may also use Growth Features during character creation to adjust your mechanics to fit your narrative decisions if you are inclined.
Willonians can procreate through traditional 2-partner reproduction with any other Varian species. This includes Hinfolk and Grimkin. They are unable to produce children with Tok or Sylvan people, and will not exemplify unique traits from those species, unless otherwise noted in a Heritage subgroup.
For inter-species parentage, the following biological rules will always apply:
Willonian + Willonian: a child will always be Willonian
Willonian + Hinfolk: a child will be the same species as their female parent
Willonian + Grimkin: a child will always be Grimkin
