Races

Listed here are the infinite races of the Blind Eternities.

## Ghuuls

### Background

Ghuuls were created originally when a pregnant woman is bitten by a special breed of infected ghoul. When bitten these women will suffer the same effects as if they had been bitten by a regular ghoul but their unborn children will be affected more. Normally if the child is weak they will die in the womb but if the child is strong they will grow with this infection and meld it into their DNA. By the time they are ready to be birthed they are often much larger than normally babies and eat their ways out of their host mothers stomach. These Ghuuls are considered the originals are are often revered as leaders and their noticeably more living features. As time went on Ghuuls began to separate and breed with other Ghuuls, creating more powerful and connected species until eventually they could be considered their own race. Due to their births they rely on the flesh of humanoids to sustain themselves and as such are often booted out of societies, killed on the spot or treated as outcasts in rare occasions.

### Physical Description

Ghuuls tend to be very pale creatures, they have very frail looking frames that looks like they haven't eaten in years and very lengthy limbs. Their eyes are normally very bright colors of red, yellow, orange and sometimes blue, these eyes normally always have sclera that are the same color as the iris but more faded away. Ghuuls possess sharp teeth that are very similar to a shark and their incisors tend to always stick out much like a saber tooth cat.

### Society

Ghuul society is actually really close knit, often sticking to massive tribes of Ghuuls who live in the caves, sewers or shadows of other larger societies. These societies tend to hold a very anarchic flow to them and most Ghuuls tend to be Chaotic due to this upbringing. Ghuuls will always look out for one another and eating another Ghuul is almost as bad as eating another Human is...which is strange for this cannibalistic race that consumes other humanoids. Ghuuls do not get along well with other races due to their natures and if one is befriended it is often recommended to keep these gluttonous monsters are arms length.

### Names

Ghuuls often adopt names from the surface world, many of them prefer simple names and abbreviations of certain names, most of them do not go over 3-5 letters in a name with some rare cases for names that are longer. Normally however these longer names are still shortened by their people and often the full names are never actually spoken.
