Phoenixborn
Phoenixborn are an exceptionally rare race, with only seven known phoenixborn existing in current day Callisto.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Phoenixborn largely resemble the race of their non-phoenix parent. They have firey wings, orange eyes and orange to red hair. Their internal temperatures are so hot that they warm the area up to about a foot around them.
Phoenixborn have weakness to ice and the cold, and resistance to fire and heat. In the case of tiefling phoenixborn, that resistance is immunity.
Genetics and Reproduction
Phoenixborn are believed to be created a phoenix' ashes cross with human, elf, orc, tiefling, etc. DNA before being reborn. While there are several theories about how this may happen, none are concrete or provable. Following this cross of DNA and the phoenix returning to ash, when a new phoenix is born from the ashes it will occasionally become a phoenixborn, with an approximate chance of 0.025%. In most cases the ashes will reform as a phoenix. Additionally, phoenixborn are infertile and unable to have offsprings of their own. These factors combined is likely the reason that phoenixborn are so exceedingly rare.
Growth Rate & Stages
A phoenixborns life cycle will largely resemble that of their non-phoenix parent, including lifespan. The primary difference, of course, being that when they die they become ash and a new form of themselves will be born of it, also following that parent race's lifecycle.
Describing the age of a phoenixborn is done by referring to the cycle followed by the age in the cycle. For example 1-31 would be a new phoenixborn who has existed for 31 years. 5-29 would be a phoenixborn who is on their 29th year of their fifth life.
