Phantomkin
These people are most often born of humans. Their limbs, missing upon birth, were first seen as a weakness. It was soon found out that spiritual limbs grow with the phantomkin, and that these limbs are adept at possessing and maneuvering prostheses made out of any material. This has grown to create an important culture around prostheses, their crafters, and the designs themselves.
It is with these prostheses that phantomkin often find their way on personal quests and adventures. The goals of which are often journeys of self-discovery or the uncovering of their origins.

Age. Phantomkin age at the same rate as humans. Their lifespans, however, are often slightly longer, averaging at 120 years.
Alignment. Their closeness to the spirits often leaves phantomkin fairly neutral in terms of alignment. It is common for phantomkin to want to understand their situation, which is usually accompanied by frequent introspection. Phantomkin don't often see their actions as good or evil.

Backups for the Backup
