Physically indistinguishable from Terrans, El-Aurians are regarded as a race of 'listeners' with exceptional communication skills. They have a lifespan of several centuries and age very slowly - a 200 year old El-Aurian could easily pass as a youthful 30~40 year old Terran. As they age, elder El-Aurians appear very calm, collected and wise, utilizing their "Listening" tendencies and life experiences in advisory roles, usually for the benefit of others but sometimes just to amuse themselves. Genetically, El-Aurian genes and traits are dominant when breeding with other humanoids, however the passing-down of their trademark longevity and their ability to perceive space/time continuum disturbances remains unstudied and unverified. | Physically indistinguishable from Terrans, El-Aurians are regarded as a race of 'listeners' with exceptional communication skills.

The hippocampus (which stores memories) of the El-Aurian brain is extremely dense having about 10x the normal neural pathways allowing for greater storage of memory. Furthermore, it is linked to both sides of the brain with even stronger connections to their auditory senses. The extensive networking of neurons in the hippocampus are not present at birth but develop at puberty and continue to grow until the end of puberty. | |||
El-Aurians are prone to eidetic memories ( about 60%) of their race. 58% of these eidetic memories do not develop until the onset of puberty. The way that humans can use scent to trigger memories, El-Aurians have a stronger trigger to recover memories with auditory stimulus. When they remember things they have a fuller and more robust mental image. On an unconscious level they can use these memories to relive life experiencing and derive ‘life lessons’ from them. This coupled with their longevity is the source of their species renown wisdom. It would also explain why they collect ‘stories’ from other species and value such lore. This ability is linked to their species ability to ‘listen’ | |||
