There is a firm distinction between the living and the
unliving. Humans, elves, and dwarves are living, while tables,
chairs, and whatever other such things... are obviously not.
Yet, some objects find themselves at the border between
these things. Whether it be because of necromancy, sheer
force of will, or transmutation magic, there have been cases
of consciousness being born out of sheer nothingness. These
creatures often take the forms of scarecrows, rag dolls, or
wicker folk (the kind that is burnt at festivals). What is most
interesting about these creatures is that they understand
language, yet are no more than children. They are childish,
easy to frighten, and incapable of understanding complex
concepts. Yet... they are alive and as conscious as any other
race, and may grow sooner than we would expect.

Age. As they are not alive, Ragborns do not age. However,
their materials slowly lose their magic essence over time,
meaning they will ultimately lose control over their entire
body and turn back into inanimate objects.
Alignment. Being that they arc objects that come to life with
very little understanding of the world around them,
Ragborns are most often chaotic. Their moral compass is
intensely influenced by the first people they meet in their
journics.
