[QUOTE="Mind of tempest, post: 8716391, member: 7029233"] the head should be large but beyond that, I have few ideas ears should be like this: as it makes them less elf or human instantly. [ATTACH type="full" width="215px" alt="1659510715800.png"]256179[/ATTACH] eyes are block colour with no visible pupil at all with the option for black eyes that just look like deep abysses but others make it clear that they are round orbs of some kind not certain what shape but ideally inhuman. how many is also a question of great importance either one or more than two never just the common two? I have considered giving the inability to shut their eyes or blink. nose going with the classic hyper-reduced nose but have to avoid the skull-like look of gith maybe more nostrils? maybe like this: [ATTACH type="full" width="513px"]257293[/ATTACH] or this:[ATTACH type="full" width="504px"]257294[/ATTACH] or some combination? colouring they are most commonly two contrasting colours with the armour parts being darker and glossy and the rest of the skin in the lighter shade they seem to have no linage component as the colour are not inheritable but this is well known to them what does control it is unknown. a rare mutation which is inheritable is the reversing of this trait with light armour and dark rest of the skin. a random different biological trait they can drink both fresh and saltwater with no ill effects. I have considered that they would bring animals with them like a dog equivalent, and some others. [/QUOTE]
