This is a player race I'm building for an Aztecish homebrew setting. Please Examine And Critique Honestly! I would also like to know if any one has an issue with the name. It does roughly mean child or children of the sacred bird (the Quetzal). Coconeh means children, and Coneh means child.
Conquetzal
Conquetzal believe that they are descended from a sacred bird. Their name means Child of the Sacred Bird. In may communities they act as religious leaders.
Personality: Conquetzal are lofty and proud, and many view them as arrogant. They can be quite aloof and even a bit haughty at times, preferring solitude or the company of others of their own kind, or else to bask in the adoration of lesser beings. However, they prefer to avoid getting into fights, as they tend to end badly. While wise the tend to be harsh and blunt.
Physical Description: Conquetzal look like a tall, thin humanoid with talon-like feet, and long wing like arms. They're skin is dark brown, but they're feathers come in a variety of colors. Most common are green, blue, and yellow. Their feathers cover most of their bodies. Conquetzals hands are long, and elegant. Conquetzal stand between six and eight feet tall and weigh only around 170-300 lb.
