Half-Breed, Khor'bon

Posted by EarthDragon on 22nd August 2015.

Khor’bon are a cross between humans and giants, bred into existence in a desert land by cruel sorcerer-kings intending to use them as warriors and labourers. Every Khor’bon who was born and survived early childhood could look forward to nothing but a life of suffering, as with any people kept in bondage. Some Khor’bon found that their forced breeding had engendered within them a spark of psionic power. With the aid of this secret power, many Khor’bon escaped their circumstances to seek a new home deep in the desert, where they are free to discover their own destiny.

   Personality

Khor’bon, for the most part, retain human sensibilities. They are curious, interested in cooperation and communication, and have a general tendency toward kindness. (Of course, there are many exceptions.) They are quick to pick up the morals, customs, and habits of the areas in which they settle down.

   Physical Description

Khor’bon typically stand from 7 feet to nearly 8 feet tall, and weigh from 250 to 400 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Most Khor’bon have tightly braided black hair and deep coppery complexions. They often prefer fanciful or intimidating clothing, given enough cash.

   Relations

Most other humanoids are put off by Khor’bon due to their abnormally large size. In fact, many are first taken for young (if strangely well-groomed) hill giants. Upon getting past their initial trepidation, however, most other humanoids find Khor’bon of good alignment to be outgoing, kind creatures.

   Alignment

Most Khor’bon are good-aligned, but all alignments can be found in their ranks.
