Rury  
D&D 3rd Edition

The Rury are an ancient race that is near extinction. There are little under 20 left in the world due to the excessive hunting of them a long time ago for their hearts, which turn into the richest gold imaginable when killed, valued at 10,000 gold pieces. The Rury are very secretive and wish to be left alone but if they are somehow forced to work with others then they are somewhat pompous. A Rury never kills unless their or someone else's life is in danger.     

Description
Rury are medium sized and stand about 5' to about 5' 9." Their average weight is 100 to about 140. The average Rury lives to be about 240 years old. A Rury usually has white or platinum-colored hair which grows very thick and toward the back of the head. They also have somewhat large ears and appear catlike at times. They usually are barefoot or wear very thin shoes as they like the feel of earth beneath their feet. 

Their preferred class is either the rogue or the fighter but they are very adaptable still. Rury names have a very wide rang because they might hear a word in a language other than their own they may choose to name their baby that word or name. The Rury usually wear somewhat bright clothes that they can easily move and feel comfortable in.
