Au Ra

The Au Ra are a proud and intimidating people due to their physical appearance. Their scaled bodies and horns led many to fear them, believing them to be descendants of the dragons. It is perhaps for this reason that the Au Ra tribes were embraced by the Great Wyrm Marduk.
The Au Ra are divided into two sub-cultures, the tribal, dark-scaled Xaela, and the city-dwelling, light-scaled Raen.

Variable Size

Au Ra are characterized by their curved horns and intricate patterning of scales across their bodies. Sleek and powerful tails extend out from behind the Au Ra. There is a striking difference in height between the males and females of the race, the men ranging from just over 6 feet tall to 7 and a half feet tall, while the women are dwarfed, rarely coming close to6 feet tall. Their faces contain sharp features and piercing eyes.

Au Ra Names

The Au Ra approach names in two strikingly different ways. The Xaela see many names shared across tribes, but there are as many spellings for the same name as there are tribes. Xaela take the name of their tribe as their surname. The Raen name themselves in their tongue in a way that their name carries meaning. Only those belonging to the ruling and warrior class of society legally have surnames, while commoners may take a surname, it is not legally recognized. Raen who are in power often take surnames related to their feats in battle, while commoners take names related to their profession. Those from outside the Burmecian culture tend to use names common in their home region.

Age. Despite their extraordinary physical features, the Au Ra live about as long as any of the other races of Eorzea, reaching physical maturity around the age of 16, and living to be around 80 years old.
Alignment. The Au Ra as a whole do not tend to neither good nor evil, or towards law or chaos. The Xaela tend strongly towards the chaotic lives of nomads outside of the laws of civilized city states, while the Raen enjoy the order provided by the law. Often times an Au Ra finds themselves to be the product of their upbringing.
Size. There is a large size disparity between men and women of the Au Ra. Males range anywhere from 6 and a half to 7 feet tall with a lean build dwarfing the females who rarely grow taller than 5 feet. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30ft.
Cranial Horns. You gain proficiency in the perception skill.
Scaled Bodies. When unarmored, your AC is equal to 11 + your dexterity modifier.
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and Auri. The Auri language does not include numbered nouns or verbs, causing an Au Ra to mislabel things sometimes when speaking another language.
Subrace. The Auri bloodline has split into two distinct groups, the nomadic Xaela and the solitary Raen, divided by the divine blood of their creators the Dusk Mother and Dawn Father. Select one of the two subraces of Au Ra.

Xaela

As a Xaela, you've been hardened by your life on the road as a part of a nomadic tribe. A life of hunting and warring has led you to martial prowess and improved strength. You are more outgoing than your Raen counterparts and are much more willing to engage in battle to resolve a conflict. Xaela tribes are small but numerous, battling for territory against one another across the Drakenvale. Despite a willingness to fight, Xaela do not seek war, it is merely a tool to settle differences.
