Groundling

Traits
Groundlings are similar to humans, but they are generally smaller in stature and possess frailer bodies. Their ears are long and furry, like those of a bunny. Some ears flop downward, others stick up, usually based on family lines and warrens--certain locations are given to certain coloring. Those closer to the sea, for example, tend toward lighter colors. The fur on their ears varies in color, from snow white to black, to striped or piebald. Generally, most white eared groundlings are albino. They also possess a small cottontail, usually the same color as their ears with white underfur. Groundlings are very fragile and are susceptible to dying from a range of illnesses and curses that many humans can survive easily.

Lifespan
40-50 years

Culture and Society:
Because of their lot in life, groundlings tend to be very submissive, timid, and quiet. They do as they are ordered by their masters and their roles range from servants such as butlers, maids, and footmen to entertainment such as musicians, whores, and dancers. Because of their fragile egos, it is not uncommon for a groundling to commit suicide.

History
Once upon a time, groundlings lived in warrens all throughout Nalavigne's plentiful forests. These underground burrows were ideal for the groundlings and for many centuries, humans and nocturnals thought they were mere myth. Eventually, humans found one and tracked it--from then on, humans began ripping groundlings from their homes and enslaving them. Groundlings are to this day thought of as mere property and not viewed as people at all. There are rumors that the people of Colundul treat groundlings as they do fellow humans, but the very idea is repugnant to most citizens of Nalavigne.

Lore
Groundlings are said to be the castoffs of the gods. They are regarded as mistakes and in some circles of the Kefnalan enthusiasts, are thought to be demons that need to be eradicated from the planet.

Religion
Chiefly Kefnalan, though not necessarily by choice. They usually just follow the same religious rites and customs as their masters.

Abilities
Groundlings are not bound by gender, as they can switch their genitalia at any time. They are very strong psionics, though years of oppression have given most of them an inferiority complex. Most are not aware of their ability, or haven't trained it to deadly precision. Sadly, more often than not, groundlings' lack of control over their psionic abilities are the death of them.

Restrictions
None.
