Gyotzi[edit]
Humanoid dumplings of small size but heavy body.
Personality[edit]
Often cheerful and always gluttonous, gyotzi enjoy good meals and the company of friends above all things. Sometimes they are considered lazy but in reality they are very industrious abd they developed a successful society. They like to be in comfort but they know that they must work before enjoying their well-deserved rest.
Physical Description[edit]
They are, quite literally, human-like dumplings, with soft, round bodies of white color, simple limbs and their heads are dumplings with mouth, nose, ear and eyes, and sometimes hair and facial hair (their heads come in different shapes of dumplings).
They tend to wear robes, both plain and colourful, and sandals at their feet.
Relations[edit]
Happy as they are, gyotzi are well received among halflings, gnomes and elves, while their attention to work makes them respectable in the eyes of dwarves. Some more savage races may consider them more food than people, but gyotzi present a fierce opposition to them. They entertain relationships with many people for trading of goods and culture.
Alignment[edit]
Most gyotzi are lawful good, or lawful neutral or neutral good, as they value community and peace among themselves the most, but less good and law-inclined gyotzi are not unheard of.
Lands[edit]
They live in kingdoms or even empires, in places where they have been able to thrive. They tend to build grand cities, with ordered and regular streets and houses.
Religion[edit]
Most gyotzi are animists, worship their ancients and pay homage to a variety of deities, often consolidated in their culture, with no specific preference among them, as each one covers an important aspect of their society.
Language[edit]
Most of them speak a very accented form of Common, some say with a Sylvan influence due to their fey origin.
Names[edit]
Typical naming convention among the gyotzi dictates that names are, or remind to, ingredients for pasta or its stuffing, while surnames are types of dumplings. Some examples are Seitan Tortellini or Ebi Baotzi.
They like to call each other by their profession or with a nickname that reminds of one's deeds.
