“Why do you look burnt?”
“I’m a carvao,” she answered with a smile. “We all look like we’ve been covered in soot and smoke.”
“Oh… Does being that way hurt?”
“I get heartaches sometimes, but I manage."

The Carvao is a homebrewed ancestry for Draw Steel, MCDM's heroic, cinematic, tactical fantasy TTRPG, designed for Jams of the Timescape Volume 2: Ancestries. This supplement describes the carvao, an ancestry often described as living smoke whose bodies of swirling ash and smoke are nourished from the positive emotions of those around them.

Play as a colorful shade of soot and ash with a life mission to bring comfort and positivity to others. Empower others by spending time with them, easing their fears, twirling them around, and being the beacon of light they need as they face the dark night of the soul.
