Wolfen
A race of people who soul bind to animal companions and take on appearances similar to them.
Appearance
Wolfens look similar to humans in build. They have animalistic ears and tails that match those of their animal companion that they are soul bound to. Females have longer incisors than males that often stick out beyond their lips.
Wolfens have a tradition of covering one of their eyes with their hair, uncovering it only in intimate moments or to make a life or death shot.
Personality
Wolfens tend to have extreme personalities that are balanced out by the complimentary personalities of their soul bound companions.
Relations
Wolfens hate vampires with a passion and will go out of their way to slay any they come across. Conversely, they have a healthy respect for lycanthropes and have a rich history and legends surrounding them.
Society
Wolfens have a matriarchal society with a great focus on craftsmanship. The ideal wolfen is the best at what they do and proud of it. They live all over the Island of Velch which has a variety of ecosystems. Wolfens adapt and build wherever they find room to grow.
Wolfens protect their lands jealously, wary of outsiders they have successfully defended their lands from invasion on countless occasions
Adventurers
Young wolfens often go out and explore the world before returning home as adults. Thus, adventurers are very common. From those that are out seeking their bonded companion as they move from teenager to adult, to those that found purpose in helping others and decided to stay out in the world, wolfens are well suited to the adventuring life.
Wolfen Names
Wolfen names are an enigma to outsiders, as they often have three syllables or more and have meanings that only speakers of the Wolfen language will understand.
Male Names: Amanuen, Damien, Kashikoi
Female Names: Katiana, Sumati, Vythica
Family Names: Fañerka, Shlander, Tittelek
