Sinborn Notes 1: Relative age, mindset and thinking trends.

The name Sinborn came to me in a vision like all my other ideas do. The first name for the race was, as cheesy as it sounds, Lustweaver, which did accurately describe the function of the race at that brief window of time. However, being a high-charisma race wasn't enough, and after becoming more honest with myself, I noticed that the Lustweaver wasn't that charismatic at all because it could not convey that personal strength to creatures outside of the standard player race. As a result, I changed the direction of the race and eventually changed the name to reflect certain unique aspects of my fictional people.

The Sinborn are a very young race. The title was not conjured by the Sinborn themselves. Instead, it is a tag applied by observers of the people, and was eventually adopted by the Sinborn. The name was given exclusively under the common tongue. Unfortunately, I don't have much knowledge concerning fantasy years, but it is safe to assume that Ahlin, the first of the race, was created about two centuries before the generic 'now' in most fantasy settings. Because the race hasn't had enough time to develop its own unique culture, it frequently relies on other sources for inspiration.

Although not entirely accepted by humans, the Sinborn relate closest to them and generally keep the same sporadic mindsets. Most of the early Sinborn development involved lurking into large metropolitan cities and creating tight social circles, taking in the common cultures of human as opposed to dwarf, elf or other fantasy races. Also, Ahlin was once human and drew most of her conclusions from her previous existence as a common human being. Numerous Sinborn ideas are frequently extracted from that same perspective, and many Sinborn thoughts come from a comparison between human traits and their own. However, very few Sinborn acknowledge themselves as human despite sharing such.

The method in which Sinborn adapted to the common fictional environment deserves the title. Sinborn was applied with a negative connotation and does properly reflect the race as a whole. Sinborn frequently go down paths involving a self-centered world, in which pleasure, delight and personal fulfillment rise above all virtues simply because other avenues don't fulfill as effectively. Because they consider themselves outside of the general racial collective, a Sinborn is not naturally compelled to help other beings. However, outside of their natural base, a Sinborn can develop a strong sense of connectivity with other races.
