Black

Native to Europe, you are a member of the smallest and most civilized of the breeds of bear kin. The black bears were once rulers among Furry kind, renowned for their strength and ferocity, but over time they diminished and were reduced in stature as they became too caught up in politics and civilized life, relying less on strength and endurance and increasingly on intellect.

Your family can trace their lineage to the great bear-kings of old, as can almost all black bears in this later age. Some measure of that berzerker fury sleeps fitfully in your blood still, so you must always watch your temper. This is a more civilized era, where allowances will not be made for sudden bouts of savage anger unless you have a good and sufficient reason...

Black bears are known, among other traits, for their legendary capacity for strong drink. Your people were among the first to freeze distill ****, making "Ice Honey Brandy" from Mead (fermented honey) as far back as the 1100s, and are able to 'hold their liquor' better than most.

Enough about your breed for now, its time to make the last big split decision about YOU before picking your actual character...
