# Nopons
Nopons are a relatively new addition to The Source. They initially arrived in a colony airship after the devastation of their previous home. They are a short yet surprisingly industrious people. Some of the best Artificiers and Tinkers in the land are or studied under the elder Nopon masters. Nopons have learned to speak Common, but have a notable accent that other races find cute.
## Racial Bonuses
Nopons seem completely nonthreatening to traders. They may get a +1 charm bonus when haggling for prices because their accent seems disarming and cute. This depends on the salesperson and is up to the interpretation of the dungeon master.
Nopons are also very short, which means that attacks need to be rethought for them. Their ears can be used to hold things, which means they can carry three items at once. They do need a weapon to perform basic attacks though.
## Character Profile: Aruna
Aruna is a Grafter Nopon that was part of the initial colonization of The Source. He used to assist a research division of the Cetacean Hedgemony, but broke with them after seeing how Leana was mistreated. He spent 20 years with the research division, learning everything he could about how monsters work and how they could be used as a source of inspiration.
Nopon society lacks the concept of social classes, but after they were absorbed into the Hedgemony, Aruna ended up in the higher tiers of it due to his innate skills with grafting monsters together like building bricks. Aruna works to right the wrongs that he has faced in life, and uses his position in the party to help make life better for all involved.
