O Yosei riginally Hailing from the north east peninsula of Zaccan, the Yosei are a different breed from most other races of elf in Erilar. While most elves decent from the Fey, the Yosei decend from Yokai and sprung up independantly from other elves in Erilar. The Yokai themselves are a sub-race of Fae who also have their roots in the Feywild but came to Erilar in a different location, where the nation of Sokoku is today. Tradition and Honour Through deep cultrual and military traditions, the Yosei conduct themselves with the good of their country and the good of their reputation in mind. If people step outside what is considered a cultural norm for the Yosei, the offending person is often looked down upon in society until they can redeem themselfs, or even ostracized and exciled if the offence is truely great. Those who flee battle or other important responsibilities would come under this category, if the offender isn't killed on the spot by their superior. This threat of cultural defemation helps keep the Yosei to band together and push for the betterment of their terretory and species. Yosei Traits Your Yosei character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement. Age. Yosei reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans and other Elves. Yosei age at the same rate as normal elves and can live to be 750 years old. Alignment. Yosei have a very traditional culture that has a lot of nuanced rules and procedures leaving those who live in a Yosei society to lean towards a Lawful alignment. Yosei brought up outside a standard society will tend to revert more towards theri chaotic Yokai roots. Size. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium. Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Yosei Weapon Training. You have proficiency with the longsword, spear, glaive, and longbow. Yokai Ancestry. You have advantage on persuasion and deception checks. Enemies have disadvantage on saving throws against being charmed by you. Trance. Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish and Yosei.
