Physiology

Linara live in a dark planet without sun, so they have developed a high sensitivity to any kind of light. Their skin and hair varies from white to gray shades, their eyes are either light blue, white or light red. Off planet they are never without protection, meaning they wear long robes, gloves, head-scarfs/hoods and veils at all times.

Psychology

Like other species they have a complex psychology, including mental illnesses, temper and the like.

ESP (Telepathy, Empathy etc)

Linara are not telepathic or empathic.

Communication

While Linarans communicate through words, their mimic has adapted to their circumstance. They had become physically expressive with their emotions as a matter of necessity after they started veiling their faces. For example a conspiratory motion, akin to a pointed glance or a devilish smirk is expressed by a head-weave coupled with a shrugging motion of his shoulders. (Source)

Technology

Flora & Fauna

Leaves are rare on the sunless planet, where the most numerous things to grow were tubers and roots and fungi, which as a matter of course, were staples of their peoples' diets. Ohan is a plant only to be found on Leron IV. (Source)
Isvicre Maties is another plant only growing on Leron IV. (Source)

Recreation

Ohan

Ohan leaves are special, special even more so than their rarity due to the sunless environment. They can bring euphoria and calm in equal measures to people who often felt little enough of either in recent times. The leaves are placed on the tongue and the feeling is near-instantaneous. The taste of the leave is bitter. Due to its rarity, it is expensive to get hold of them. They only grow on Leron IV. (Source)

Clothing

Different Veil colours, patterns and designs are fashion-statements. In contrast to the robes worn. Robes serve both as an expression of one's individuality, and also status. It can't be seen in the pleats and folds of the robes.
