Ivories

Deeka can crossbreed with humans to have an offspring known as an ivory, named for the color of their skin. These half-breeds never quite fit into their parent’s societies, but are most accepted into churches who understand what it means to have an ivory fighting on their side. An ivory has strength greater than its parents by combining the best of both worlds. An ivory ages the same as his parents, but tend to live slightly longer.

Deeka can crossbreed with elves an ivory elf.

This increase in physical strength and prowess is due to "hybrid vigor", a common occurrence between two closely related species, where the offspring is tougher than either of its parent species.

Personality

Ivories raised in deekan society, tend to behave more like their deeka parent. However, when raised outside deekan cities, they tend to be reserved and thoughtful, but with no less perseverance and determination.

Physical Description

Ivories have sleek ivory skin, striking platinum blonde hair and cold pale eyes. They also retain the small shoulder protuberances of their deekan parentage. They grow to slightly over-tall Human height, but are very statuesque. The unfamiliar often can confuse them with celestials or aasimars.

Relations

Ivories are welcome among humans and deeka lands, and are fairly universally accepted in cultured lands.

Alignment

Ivories are a varied bunch. Those raised in deekan culture tend toward lawfulness, while those raised in temples of Nim tend to favor lawfulness and goodness. Ivories raised in human lands may be of any alignment, but often drift from neutralness, as their ambitions and drives move them toward various outlooks on life.

Lands

Ivories commonly live in either homeland of their parents. They possess no homeland of their own. Occasionally, in lands where deekan cities and human cities are close by, districts of ivories may form.

Religion

Ivories practice religion as either of their parents. Most commonly, they worship Rejiksson as Nim.

Language

Ivories typically speak Common and Deeka. Though, if they were raised outside of the knowledge of their parentage, they will often speak Common and Celestial.

Names

Ivories can have names from either of their bloodlines, depending on who they were raised with. If orphaned, ivories are often named after celestial beings and angels.
