Aslonian

Identification: Aslonians are an immense race of beings most closely resembling mundane bears. They stand over 3 meters tall and weigh an full 500 kilograms. Their bodies are covered with a dense fur, thus eliminating their need, for clothing, though a few wear it anyways. This body fur ranges in color from black and brown to pure white. Aslonians also possess sharp teeth and long retractable claws.

Habitat and Culture: Aslonians are loners of a sort. They are rarely encountered in groups, except when mating occurs. A few isolated tribes are known to exist in the furthest reaches of the True Realms. Aslonians generally prefer the company of other races. This leads to their being very widespread.

Aslonians are by nature curious and inquisitive, often to the extent of being a nuisance. A very large nuisance. Many shops have even gone so far as to prohibit Aslonian customers from entering. This curiosity is a thorn in the side of many other races, yet their jolly and good hearted nature make them hard to hate. Often it's like having a 500 kilogram toddler, always asking questions and wanting to touch everything they see.

Most Aslonians are peaceful and easy tempered, but when they are provoked there isn't a creature short of a dragon that can match their ferocity. Because of their easy demeanor and generally even tempered nature they are often used in law enforcement and as judges. A great many Aslonians have joined the ranks of the Arbitrators. They are also highly prized as soldiers and some generals comprise entire brigades of Aslonians with devastating effect.

Aslonians are also generally a little sluggish a times. It takes them a while to get motivated, often taking the promise of a big meal to even get them out of bed. However, they are diligent to the point of fanaticism once they begin a job. Of course this is as long as there aren't too many distractions to peak their curiosity.

Racial Abilities: Aslonians have an incredible sense of smell, which many utilize in jobs as trackers. They are also very resistant to the extremes of weather. Aslonians can double their normal movement rate by running on all fours, which they do quite often. Their thick hide offers a little natural protection of armor value (AV) 2, and they have an unusually thick skull with an AV5. An aslonian can use his claws as a weapon, and when desperate, his teeth. The claws inflict a base damage of 2 and the teeth 1.

Attribute Modifiers: Aslonians are incredibly strong and very healthy. They are a little on the clumsy side because of their size. They are well liked by most races, but their annoying curiosity often gets them in trouble. While they are very inquisitive, they are somewhat slow at understanding more complex ideas.
