Soraboren (Changeling)
Sourceborn
The Soraboren, or Sourceborn, are humanoid shapeshifters whose origins are largely unknown. They are scattered and usually live as individuals, using their mercurial bodies to blend into whatever society surrounds them.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”A Soraboren’s natural form is amorphous and hairless, with a shifting, mercurial complexion. At rest they settle at around five and a half feet tall and 150 pounds, but they can reshape their features at will, and their fluid bodies mend wounds and slip through gaps that would stop others.
Society and Culture
Section titled “Society and Culture”With no communities of their own, Soraboren tend to take on the customs of their neighbors. Many are natural performers who learn quickly and read people well, though their own memories can prove fleeting.
Homeland
Section titled “Homeland”Their home plane is given as the Aethyr, and the heritage is counted among the oldest of all, at some 600,000 years.
Life Cycle
Section titled “Life Cycle”A Soraboren can expect to live around 150 years. Most speak Aethyrian Common, along with whatever their neighbors speak.
Among the Aethyrsparked
Section titled “Among the Aethyrsparked”A Soraboren whose soul ignites into an Aethyrflame carries their gift for disguise into a life bound to the Aethyrweave, though their bodies remain prone to elemental instability.
