They have a grey wrinkled complexion and no body hair at all, and thus always wear robes of a soft and warm fabric while in public. These robes are called Yael-robes, and are thin enough that they can be worn underneath whatever uniforms a given Mizarian might otherwise wear while in an official capacity. | ||

They believe that peace and peaceful non-resistance will ensure the development of the soul and allow it to transcend their physical forms and eventually become one with the universe around them. | They believe in a Spritualist doctrine called the Kahlto - the Wheel of Existence - that states that peace and peaceful non-resistance will ensure the development of the soul and allow it to transcend their physical forms and eventually become one with the universe around them. | ||

They enjoy many types of artistic expression but for the most part all of it seems somehow lacking. Their music is somber, regulated with no fire, no spark and the same can be said of their other forms of art as well. All of it seems more suited to meditation and contemplation. | They enjoy many types of artistic expression but for the most part all of it seems somehow lacking.

In terms of fashion, the Mizarians are limited by the fact that they all wear the Yael-robes. These robes are usually kept light grey or tan, though increased exposure to the fashions of other alien species have begun an influx of other color variants into the robes. Dust blue and pale yellow are the most fashionable colors at the moment. Some Mizarians who feel stifled at the lack of personal expression in the Yael-robes have taken to embellish themselves with jewelry to compensate, with rings being the most popular option. | |||

One of the truly unusual customs that they have is called the Walk of Acceptance. In this a young individual walks down a long line of 100 individuals. He stops at each one, professes his acceptance of their way of life before he accepts a short whip from that person. Then he uses the whip to strike his own back before returning it. This act is mostly symbolic as they seldom inflict any real injury to themselves and in most cases it results only in some mild bruising. | One of the truly unusual customs that they have is called the Walk of Acceptance.

Another custom is the 'Ur’tal' - the Emptying. With roots in Kahlto, this custom has become more commonplace with the youth of Mizar II. At the end of the day, the individual will write down a log for the day - every emotion, thought and worry they experienced - on a combustible material, be it paper or fabric. Once everything has been written down, the record is then burnt as the individual meditates before it. | |||
