Here is my own design for the Custom Lineage for building your Race. The idea allows you to choose who if any raised you and make a more unique backstory based on your decisions.
Custom Lineage
The first thing you will do is choose a base race. This will determine things such as Age, Speed and Size. Choose from the list below.
Race List
• Dragonborn • Dwarf • Elf • Gnome • Half-Elf • Half-Orc • Halfling • Human • Tiefling
• Aarakocra • Aasimar • Fairy • Firbolg • Genasi • Gith • Goliath • Harengon • Kenku • Locathah • Owlin • Tabaxi • Tortle • Triton • Verdan
• Bugbear • Centaur • Goblin • Grung • Hobgoblin • Kobold • Lizardfolk • Minotaur • Orc • Yuan-Ti Pureblood
Once you choose a Race, you use the the following aspects from that Race.
-Age.
-Size.
-Speed.
-Creature Type. (Note: If choosing a monster race you are humanoid and whichever that monster race is. Ex. Goblins and Hobgoblins would be Humanoid and Goblinoid.)
Ability Score. Choose one Ability Score and increase it by 2. Choose a different Ability Score and increase it by 1.
Guardians
These are what would be your parents, who raised you or your ancestral birth. When creating your Race, you choose two Guardians to represent these factors. Guardians are a Race of your choice. These can either be the same Race or two completely different Races. It is up to you and this will help define your background and your Racial Features.
Guardians. Choose two Guardians from the Race List.
Unique Feature. Choose one of the following for your Race.
-Darkvision (60ft.)
-Proficiency in One Skill
-Choose one Language
-Proficiency in one Melee Weapon and one Ranged Weapon
-Proficiency in one set Armor of your choice. (ex. Leather Armor, Chain Shirt, Splint Mail).
Languages. You can read, write and understand Common. Choose up to two Languages from your Guardian choices. These can be choices from any that apply to that Race. (ex. If one of your Guardians is Elf, you can choose Elven or Aquan from the Sea Elf sub race.)
Racial Features
This is where you will choose a Racial Feature based on the Guardian you chose. You choose TWO Racial Feature from each of your chosen Guardians and ONERacial Feature for each of your chosen Guardians from the Sub Guardian section that is the same Race as your Guardian. If your Guardian does not have a Sub Guardian Race then you choose an additional Racial Feature from that Guardian. If that Guardian does not have enough, then you can choose one from your other Guardian.. At the end of choosing, you should have a total of SIX Racial Features at a minimum. Some Races will have debilitating choices such as Sunlight Sensitivity. Choosing one of these can help with your character and background development. When you choose one of these it doesn't count against the number of choices you have.
If you cannot choose enough Racial Features, use your remaining choices to choose from the Unique Feature section.
Racial Feature Based on Guardian
Depending on the Guardians you have chosen, choose two Racial Features listed under the Race for each of the Guardians and one each for the Sub Guardian.
Some Features will have two as one that are separated by a slash. This means if you choose that one, you get both.
Features of the same name do not stack. (ex. Powerful Build, Flight, Menacing.) You use only one instance of it.
