Dwarfkin

__TOC__
A Dwarfkin has both Dwarven and Human ancestry. Like most cross-breeds, they inhabit a liminal position in the world, caught between the cultures and traits of one parentage and the other. Drawn by both the Dwarven need to perfect and Human adaptability, they are of the races among the most likely to adventure; seeking to find their own place outside of the roles offered to them which they don't quite fit into.
=== Physical Description===
According to their parent races, Dwarfkin either look like tall, skinny Dwarves or short, stocky Humans. They also tend to be significantly hairier than Humans, with men having thick, bushy beards without vigilant shaving. Their skin and hair colors are all greatly influenced by their Human side's ethnicity, but tend to be fairer than the average distribution of humans. Their eyes are much the same, but can also be found in gold and silver colors. Like their Dwarven ancestors, there is no average disparity in height and weight between male and female Dwarfkin. Female Dwarfkin can grow beards, but this is even rarer than amongst Dwarves, and many of them choose to shave their faces.

==Other Information==
====Adventurers====
Like other cross-breeds, Dwarfkin are particularly drawn to adventuring, a profession that calls to those with unusual backgrounds who have trouble fitting in to society. Otherwise, their attitudes towards adventuring, and attitudes towards adventurers from others; mainly depends on their culture and circumstances.
====Dwarfkin and Other Races====
Dwarfkin fit in best among their parent races, although they are always a bit too impatient and radical for Dwarves, and a bit too stubborn and slow for Humans. This inevitable, if slight, alienation often drives them to seek out others of their kind, or failing that, those who are entirely unfamiliar.
====Dwafkin and the Imperium====
Dwarves have a place of honor in the Imperium, particularly in Corvan lands, where their craftsmanship and hardiness makes them ideal citizens. As such, Dwarfkin tend to inherit this treatment, although to a lesser degree. They get along less well with Grandians, for much the same reason they might find alienation in Free Wastes.
====Dwarfkin and the Freemen====
While Dwarfkin are readily welcomed in the Free Wastes, it is often because of their usefulness as unskilled manual laborers. Those who fail to distinguish themselves immediately often get relegated to such a place in society, finding it especially difficult to rise above their station. In other Free lands, they are typically regarded as mild curiosities.
====Ethnicities====
Dwarfkin tend to adopt ethnic traits mostly from their Human ancestors, although the respectively dark or pallid complexions of Hill and Frost Dwarves do tend to shine through.
