Grecht

Grecht
A Grecht.

Bat-like humanoids, the Grecht hail from an Empire in the distant Dehkay Plateau far to the north of mainland Sapience, although small splinter communities exist elsewhere, such as the village of Arget Massai atop the Siroccian mountains. While Aetolia is still learning about this reclusive race, recent envoys have revealed that the main Empire adheres to a militaristic caste system, overseen by an Exarch. Physically, Grecht tend to feature large ears, angular features and have dark skin, ranging from pure black to greys and browns, with leathery flaps connecting their arms to their bodies, which give them a limited, soaring sort of flight.

The chiropteran Grecht inhabit the distant Dehkay Plateau, hidden high above the icy reaches of the Northern Tundra. Stark black to slate-grey in appearance, the Grecht have limited powers of flight, able to soar thanks to the thin wing-flaps connecting their arms to their bodies. Lithe and thin, the Grecht are a people well-adapted to the atmospheric reaches of their homeland.

Racial skills

Upon reaching certain levels, this race gains the following skills.

Level	Name	Description
1	Soaring	One can soar through the air for a limited time, but with improved speed.
25	Air Stability	This is a passive skill that keeps the player from being blown around while flying.
50	Nightsight	The player will receive the natural ability to see in the dark.
75	Lunar Regen	The player will regenerate health and mana while under the changing lunar influence. Will not work if you cannot see the moon above you (IE: You are underground).

Roleplay

The Grecht race is rich with roleplay potential, with an entire plateau claimed as their racial home. A range of backstories and character types can be pinned to these origins - from warriors to priests to rebels to hunters, nearly all character concepts can fit well with the Grecht race. The physical details, such as the ability to soar, open the door to fun physical roleplay ideas and give players lots of ambient emote potential.
