Racial Information�
Basic History
Adolfites are typically save and reclusive. They keep themselves secluded from the outside world and thus little is known about their history. Their seclusion has also kept them out of Zodo�s grasps during the Ascian War, and thus the only fights they have had are tribal conflicts.
Positives/Negatives
Adolfites are basically wolf-men who have the ability to change into their wolf form at any given time. Being what they are, they also possesses added agility, strength, speed, and heighten senses in their human form. They also however are somewhat savage and violent in nature.
Reproduction
All adolfites come in only two genders, male and female. Adolfites can mate with any other any other adolfite of an opposite gender, but will not mate outside their race, and rarely will mate outside their tribe. They mate following a normal mating process, and if lucky, the female adolfite becomes pregnant. There is a 60% chance the female will conceive her litter after mating. The chance drops by 10% after every litter (60%=1st litter, 50%=2nd litter, 40%= 3rd litter...etc�).Pregnancy last for 3 months. The first month, known as the �Honeymoon�, is an enjoyable month. The second until delivery is known as the �Great Strife�, is full of day-long sickness, back-aches, and dizzy spells. There is a 35% chance the female elf will die during this stage. At the end of the 3rd month the litter is delivered with hours of pushing. There is a 20% chance of death mother, and a 10% chance of death per child of the entire litter. The genders of the children are random and the number of the litter is decided by rolling a 1d8.
Lifespan
Adolfites have two stages of life. The first stage, pup, last from birth until 45 (Human Equivalent Age of 15). During this stage the young adolfite grows and develops it�s many skills needed for survival. The young adolfite stays at home during this stage. The adolfite also learns hunting and tracking skills during this stage. The final stage, adulthood, last from 46 until death. To be accepted as an adult, and a member of the adolfite clan in which the adolfite was born into, the adolfite must undergo a long and difficult trial. Those who do not succeed, die. The trial is of course different for male and female, and varies amongst the various adolfite tribes. It is also during this stage that an adolfite may find a spouse. According to adolfite custom, the male must win the love of his hopeful mate by challenging and besting her other hopeful mates. If there are no other contestants for the female, then it is decided that the female is unfit to be mated and sent into exile. Death come naturally and expectantly to the adolfites. They view death as a glorious event and is usually planned by the aging adolfite dying in a setup battle� so that he/she died courageously.
Appearance
In human form, the adolfite would resemble a human of their gender with more than normal hair. Males and females both would have thick hair growth, long, bushy sideburns, and hairy arms and legs. Men also have well developed beards. In wolf form they resemble large wolves.
Living Habitat
Adolfites typically live in wooded areas, though they can also be found in mountains and plains, as long as it is far from civilization.
Behavior
They are a warrior race, and take great pride in the art of hunting and combat. If an adolfite was to travel, it would be to settle and old vendetta, or to fulfill the wishes of one�s elders.
Food & Sleeping Requirements
They require one meal a day, and must sleep for one cycle, whether it be day or night, lest they tire out (-5 endurance per missed cycle). The sleep cycle must come after five awake cycles.
