Coonling

Created by GabeGrimoire
Coonlings are people who resemble and share traits with animals like coatis, ringtails, kinkajous, and most notably, raccoons. A few have also been known to resemble bears. Coonlings tend to be hoarders by nature, and are close allies with rohdeens.   Coonlings are known to be travelers at heart, rarely staying in one place unless they deem it "perfect" for them. Coonlings tend to also be scavengers and hoarders, which makes them great artisans and merchants.  

Coonling Names

Coonling names are very similar to rohdeen names, with most containing harsh sounds but being otherwise pretty simple. Many names are often as short as 3-4 characters, but it's not uncommon to find one with a much longer name, especially coonling adventurers and merchants. Some coonlings have surnames derived from their bloodline, but are typically names they give themselves that reflect their reputation. Surnames can be the name of a coonling's adventuring party, faction they're in, or settlement they have high status in. A coonling may also give themselves multiple surnames, rather than just keep the one they like best.   Masculine Names: Avaq, Brinvac, Brir, Ces, Chevihk, Dat, Jak, Kvas, Mahl, Maq, Naz, Praz, Srehc, Venkek, Zrec   Feminine Names: Bim, Binem, Bhegoth, Cihl, Fhes, Nife, Nhil, Nhuth, Rhim, Tabbeks, Tigge, Vix, Vhef, Zhen   Surnames: Astos, Black Diamonds, Grimewater, Hunter, Ravengarde, Shikari, Warlock
