Define your Ruler

You are nearly complete, with most definitive options out of the way, you can finally complete your new form. The race you have chosen, is to be of a deep gnomish variety known as Svirfneblin . One that upheld a dwarven-like affinity for stone and innately understood it on a level few other races could appreciate. They also had Guarded, and suspicious of outsiders, svirfneblin are cunning and taciturn, but can be just as kindhearted, loyal, and compassionate as their surface cousins.

The general appearance of what a common Svirfneblin will normally look bland, imperfect, and all around basic. The usual of details the race is described, but for you, you wanted to stand out comparatively. As they stood just under the 4 foot mark, you obviously want to tower over your underlings taller than the rest. Gnomes in general, aren’t known to exceed 3'11 feet, so you will definitely stand out.

The idea that with such power given to you, you’d expect to look and feel superior in every way. Even the smallest of details will outshine your underlings, placing you upon a pedestal above the rest.

You wanted them to believe that your one of the same, yet with greater knowledge, and the will to lead them as a whole. This will most likely take time, built through trust and loyalty, and eventually through rank itself. They will come to see you as their protector of the realm.

As to how you wish to appear to them is purely through luck of perfect genes. One devoid of any negative definition or defects, and that is what will make you stand out from the rest. “The perfect one”, so to speak, yet without an answer as to how.

Your eyes, golden and pupiless, compared to their natural grey tones with faint lines of pupils. Defying the norms of facial hair on men, with white hair and a symmetrical face, unlike the misshaped asymmetric bodies of any lesser individual. Not much else was different about you physically otherwise, as you looked a similar dark grey in skin tone. To them, you merely will be an unordinary gnome with the features of an alpha male with great genes.

What are you to pose as, an equal, or as a superior ruler. Maybe even somewhere in between, like a neutral bystander, or a equalizer of some sort?

Where deep gnomes, also known in their tongue as Svirfneblin, choose to live far below the earth’s surface. Most of them never seeing the light of day. Their homes are well-hidden strongholds concealed by maze like passages and clever illusions. Vast networks of mine tunnels ring most svirfneblin settlements, guarded by deadly traps and concealed sentries. Once a traveler passes through the outer defenses, the tunnels open up into marvelous cavern-towns carved from the surrounding rock with exquisite care. The svirfneblin are austere in their comforts compared to their surface cousins, but they take great pride in their stonework.

Deep gnomes do their best to remain hidden. Even if surface travelers and or any other creature of the deep, succeed in locating a svirfneblin community, winning their trust can be even more difficult. Those rare travelers who do succeed in befriending deep gnomes find that they are normally loyal and courageous allies against any foe.

Mind you not all creatures of the Earth realm are as passive as the deep gnome people might be. So be aware of your surroundings at all times if your not in a well known safe place.

The choice is yours... you stand alone at the moment. No longer an aberration, but a living being with the ability to create change. Now as the first sentient of your kind, you must decide where you shall begin. With the people of your species, or the environment you are placed in?
