Species idea - Teddy Bear
The teddy bear species is an actual soft toy raised to sentience by the whim of Xom.
As such, they always start out as worshippers of Xom, regardless of background. Therefore, religious backgrounds (except Chaos Knight) are banned.
They are technically non-living, and have no bones or internal organs, which makes them resistant to many forms of damage as they just bounce back into shape. However, they are highly vulnerable to fire.
They cannot rot, mutate or go berserk,
(however, if Xom decides to make them mutate or berserk, this overrides their natural immunity.)
They do not need to breathe, and can float in water. However, if they stay in water for too long, their fur and stuffing becomes temporarily waterlogged. While in this state, they lose their fire vulnerability but are slowed.
They have the special ability to 'play dead' or just lie on the ground and imitate a lifeless stuffed toy, so monsters will not attack them. However, a monster that has already seen them move will not be fooled by this.
Their aptitudes start out at +0 for all skills, however at XL 9, 18 and 27, Xom will randomly adjust their aptitudes.
If they ever abandon Xom, they will revert to inanimate status, and so will instantly die.
