Hello everybody....

I have had this idea for a race for the last two months...

please comment about it

Nerkis
Nerkis are known to be quiet types and have the tendency to look at everything from another perspective. Nerkis have followed the human from the very beginning of time but. Some say that Nerki were some kind of “super beings” from another planes who were fleeing from their homeworld and sought refuge among the humans. Besides that no one knows for sure were the Nerkis come from.

Personality : Nerkis comes in all sizes and shapes and are as unpredictable as humans with the exceptions of looking at everything from another perspective.

Physical description : just as the humans but more skinnier. A Nerki has light blue skin(sort of mixture from white and light blue) and usually have black hair or blue hair.
An Nerki becomes an adult around the age of 24 and can become 150 years old.
NOTE : Nerkis can mate with other species but the offspring is always a Nerki. No half Nerkis can be made from nature though there is a possibility of maybe unnatural breeding “could make” an half Nerki……

Relations : Nerkis tend to act like humans in interacting with other species.

Alignment : no particular , if Nerkis should have any restricted alignment it would be Neutral cause Nerkis shows equal respect to all beings.

Language: common

Names : Any...

Religion :Any …..

Lands: Nerkis can be found in any land were humans are. Nerkis are almost always 1% of all humans in every city were humans live.
There are thorps were only Nerkis live but those are pretty rare but not imposible

Nerki racial traits.
Medium Outsider

30ft land speed
abilities: -2 con , +2 wis
"in the memory you shall remain": if a Nerki dies or gets killed it becomes an tiny air elemental(even if the body is still as it was ) , he or she will be able to be resurrected if remembered(memory check) otherwise he or she will completely die and can never be resurected. Note , the air elemental is from the MM1 and it’s a replacement for souls.
cast for memory check : Nerki can be resurrected without the body according to table 1 to determine if memory check will succeed , use table 4 for an Epic Nerki char.
Use table 2 ,3 for + and - on the check , note a natural 20 means only +20 on the check , not as an automatic succeed. Same counts for natural 1. If the Nerki’s wis mod is at – it will count as 0 . NOTE Nerkis can not be resurrected even if their body still remains without at least one member in the adventuring party making an memory check. Also if a nerki in his 60 dies from a natural disiease he can be resurected by this ability (if someone remembers him) and will be able to live to his 150's. After the Nerki dies from age this ability becomes useless.
For the ones who aren't gettin what I'm trying to say : To be able to resurect a Nerkis , bodyless or not , at least one of the Nerkis adventuring party member has to make the mermory check.
LA : 0
