The Tuatha
The Tuatha are a race of magically included humanoids, who indeed look very much human, who live several times longer then a normal human. They are descendants of ancient kings and queens, royal blood raw with arcane potential fuels them and empowers their spells. Many Tuatha ascend into godhood, having much more deities stem from their race then any other mortal kin.
Personality: Tuatha vary greatly in personality, much like humans from which they are related to. Tuatha generally have a few traits that are consistant throughout most other Tuatha. Tuatha believe, in more of a cultural thing, in Hospitality and treat it as a kind of sacred ordinance almost. People who violate the hospitality or others or who deny hospitality are generally seen as honorless cretins. Tuatha are very vengeful and can take the smallest of slights as a grievous insult and must be punished- usually with death.
Tuatha have little humanity and tend to kill first and ask questions later. They are very angered when they cannot strike someone down, or get someone to bow to them. They are very dominate people, who can only bend their knee to someone proven better then them- who is also another Tuatha. Almost anyone else who isn't either Tuatha or a goram Deity is about as significant to them as the distance of which they can throw them. They would sooner hunt and kill someone who shows potential to equal or better them then acknowledge that they are better or on the same level.
Still, they are not inherintly evil, per say, and some like to call themselves good and indeed some may well be considered good. But this "goodness" is as far as it suits them and is usually only because they think its best. They retain a dominant alpha-status as they go about it, expecting to be served and repaid and thanked, and all that as if they are the best thing thats ever graced the sad lives of anyone who isn't Tuatha.
Physical Description: Tuatha look very much like humans. But in almost every outside way perfected. They are stronger, faster, and more durable then a human. The women are sleek and very pleasing to the eye, each of them looking like they belong in a magazine rather then standing before you while they wonder whether or not to threaten you, kill you, or to take you. The men are generally muscular. Hardly hulk like or grotesquely so, but the form of a strong exceedingly well fit human who doesn't have peanut sized testicles in direct contrast to their bulging mounds of muscle.
Their colors can vary within human ranges, though more vivid, but blonde and red hair with blue or green eyes are most common.
Alignment: Tuatha are a very sort of self centered species, very often Chaotic in alignment but they also have the most obscure way of being both totally lawful yet totally chaotic at the same time in a sort of Chaotically Lawful or Lawfully Chaotic. Its quite a mess really, but a good start would to just pin them as True Neutral in that they don't give a damn.
Land: Tuatha often inhabit a land of their own just outside the material plane. Its a very green place with plentiful forests and rolling hills rimmed with stony jagged mountains with peaceful lakes and streaming rivers. The name isn't very well established, as it changes once every few thousand years as power squabbles cause changes in leadership which in turn alters the name of the land, usually named in some fashion after the current head of the Tuatha.
The land is connected to the Material plane and travel to and from it is a very easy task for the Tuatha.
Religion: The Tuatha do not believe in gods as things for them to worship, but believe them to be merely other beings who are almost as worthy of worship as they are. The Tuatha believe themselves to be gods and do not worship others, but do respect and follow the head of the Tuatha which is as close to worshiping anyone else that they get. The Head Tuatha is, in fact, a god and so are the other more powerful and influential Tuatha. Not all Tuatha are gods, they simply have a tenancy to find ways to rise as such and when they do they are added to the table and a contestant in the endless power squabbles. Though these squabbles are generally kept somewhat civil, they do occur. Each Tuatha finding ways to one-up the other, or making alliances while simultaneously planning for betrayal from the others. Though friendships between Tuatha can exist, its a very concept and hard to establish. Generally, they only really trust outsiders if they can or other Tuatha who are not yet a part of the divine table.
Language: The Tuatha speak an old tongue that has died out in most practical applications on the material world, known only to old scholars or those who know of the Tuatha. Since the common mortal has long forgotten it, they renamed it after themselves as Tuathic. Tuathic consists of symbols called Runes and sounds somewhat breezy to the ears.
Adventures: The Tuatha are always looking for things with which to grow in power, they adventure often for artifacts and items of mysterious origin even if there is just the possibility that another Tuatha may be looking into it as well. They do however enjoy monster slaying, many Tuatha seeing the victory over great beasts to be a mark of honor and glory in triumph. They usually keep some part of the beast as a trophy to flaunt their victories. They often also adventure to quest against some uppity fool who insulted them or insulted Tuatha in general, someone showing disrespect for their kind and may be a threat some day.
Tuatha
+6 Cha, +4 Str, +4 Con
Outsider (Native)
40ft speed
Noble Blood (Ex): The Tuatha have an ancient bloodline of magic that fuels them. They can cast magic even in areas of Antimagic or in planes in which magic does not exist. Doing so uses spell slots or spell points as if the spell was three levels higher. The Tuatha's spell DCs are increased by half their charisma modifier in addition to their normal spellcasting ability mod, even if it was already charsima they just add half again. A Tuatha casts spells as if she were four caster levels more then she is, a Fireball at 10th level would deal 14d6 damage instead of 10d6 damage, for example.
Always Magic (Su): A Tuatha can always cast spells as a sorcerer OR a druid of half her level. If she selects druid, she only uses the Druid spell list but actually casts as a Sorcerer but casts as a druid equal to her level instead of 1/2. If the Tuatha is already an arcane caster, they take cast spells as a Druid of their level. If they are already a druid or use the druid's list, they cast spells as a sorcerer of 1/2 their level. If the Tuatha is a divine caster, she chooses normally between the two.

Is it a caster level boost or do you actually get higher level spells?
