Character details

 Alignment. Twili hail from usurpers and renegades who threatened to overthrow a kingdom and seize a dark, magical power. Their alignments vary widely from one to another, but as a whole they have a slight tendency towards chaotic evil.
 Age. Twili age slowly. They may not reach full adulthood until 20 years or more, but can live to be nearly 200.
 Diet. As a Medium humanoid, each day you require at least 1 pound of food and 1 gallon of water to avoid exhaustion.
 Names. Twili names often incorporate symbols that are less frequently used in modern Hylian—such as z, x, j, or q— but otherwise follow a similar structure. Female names are more likely to end in vowels than male names. Male examples include Epoq, Hajar, Qeel, and Xant. Female examples include Midi, Saé, Umbra, and Zara.

Character traits

Sunlight Weakness Alternative

Sunlight Sensitivity is meant to give twili a hindrance in sunlight while still alowing a twili to be a practical player-character during daytime excursions. To more closely resemble the weakness seen by twili in Twilight Princess, your DM might replace it with the following feature.      Sunlight Weakness. While in bright sunlight, you have disadvantage on all ability checks and attack rolls, and you cannot regain heart points. This feature can be removed in place of gaining a feat you would otherwise be able to gain.

The descendants of hylians who were banished to the Twilight Realm for their crimes. The realm and their own magical prowess has long twisted them into a completely different race.

 Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2.
 Size. Tall and thin, an adult twili typically stands between 6 and 8 feet. Your size is Medium.
 Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
 Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
 Sunlight Sensitivity. Your people evolved to eternal twilight and darkness, and the bright light of the sun is extremely unpleasant to you. While in bright sunlight, you have disadvantage on all ranged attack rolls, and on all Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight. You cannot gain the benefits of rest while in bright sunlight.
 Arcane Heritage. Your people are masters of what most Hyruleans call ancient magic, and what they consider arcane secrets is common knowledge in your homeland. You have advantage on any Intelligence (Arcana) check made to recall lore about spells, or made to recall lore about the Twilight Realm and phenomena originating from it.
 Language. All twili read, write, and speak the Twilight language. A minority of twili, including all twili player-characters, are just as fluent in Hylian.
 Subrace. Choose one from elegant, scarred, or usurper.

Elegant

Compared to most twili, your facial features take a shape closest to hylians who haven't been twisted by the Twilight Realm. If it wasn't for your smooth gray skin and abnormally colored eyes, someone could even mistake you for an unusually tall and slender hylian. Among your people, your kind has traditionally comprised the ruling upper class, possibly including the monarchy. The few elegant twili who have ventured into the Light World have had a relatively easier time adapting to the alien world and foreign cultures.

 Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.

Scarred

When the false king nearly conquered all the realm, he used accursed masks to transform the twili people into violent beasts that obeyed only him. Many twili were fortunate enough to be restored fully to sanity and healthy bodies, but even after the king fell some still bore scars—both mental and physical. You are either one such twili, or one of their descendants. For better or worse, you can still transform yourself into one of those accursed shadow beasts if you try.

 Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1.

Usurper

Compared to most twili, your facial features are abnormally flat and plain in appearance, to the extent even other twili may find them eerie. Your lineage links strongly to those who have attempted, and failed, to overthrow the norm. Although all twili hail from the ancient race that was banished to the Twilight Realm, your kind is often attributed as the interloping renegades responsible.

 Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
