Slyphs are offsprings of mortals and creatures of elemental air, remarkably resilient compared to their pale and delicate build, and while they can pass off as humans, the wind that follows their every move speaks volumes about their true heritage.
Often raised by humans, where their true nature is frowned upon, they grow up to be shy and suspicious, calculating every possible outcome before engaging in a social conversation, for a true Slyph has to have the means to escape any potential danger.
Many become adventurers, regardless of the reason behind it, as it also means they get a fresh start, a new beginning, a life where they guide their own destiny while the winds whisper their names, names such as Afel, Zalle, Eeyaaya, Nini, and Gawesh.

Slyphs are usually descendants of a genie-like creature and a mortal humanoid, pale and delicate, who end up growing stronger than their looks would first suggest. They love living wherever the strong winds reside, and a gust of wind seems to follow their every move as well, and while they tend to be neutral-minded and wary of law, they obey it if it doesn’t ruin the nature of their life. Think of who their parents are, how and where was the character raised, what was the most valuable lesson they learned, why they decided to venture out into the world, and create a name worthy of all the secrets they will surely discover.
