Laudean: Difference between revisions

Still little is known about Laudean physiology beyond their appearance, and the information available has been gathered from a number of sources. Humanoid, Laudeans tend to be ever so slightly shorter than the average humanoid race.

Three features distinguish Laudeans from Terrans:

* Laudeans have yellow eye colour (the shades of which are variable according to the individual). It is believed that this is a natural evolution due to living in a Binary star system. The Laudeans actual have dual eye lids (two eye lids rather than one,) ���??the usual skin eye lid and then a second transparent layer that can be moved separately. This second eye lid and yellow eye colour ensure protection from the sun���?�s rays when Til���?�hon���?�s second sun comes into season during the summer ���?? acting like a pair of manufactured sun shades would for Terrans.

* The second distinguishable physical feature is a rim of exotic colour that runs round the top of their forehead and colours the base of their hairline. Likewise, the entirety of a Laudean���?�s earlobe (although neither pointy nor any larger than a Terran���?�s) is coloured in the same exotic shades. These colours vary from Laudean to Laudean and can be one of the following colours:

Red, Yellow, Black and White are never seen as shades of Laudean "hairline" and "ears".

Unlike other planets, ���?hairline��? and ���?ear��? colour is not thought to be based on geographical origin but rather social class. This evolutionary theory is supported by the fact that a royal noble would marry with a royal noble (regardless of kingdom of origin) and a worker with a worker, etc. Of course this was a long time ago in Duronis' history, and is now redundant as Laudeans freely intermix. The presence of purple hairlines may suggest Laudeans with red colouring may at one time have existed and that the purple hair lines descended from their having children with blue hairlined Laudeans ���?? but this is unclear.

The Laudeans have been described as ���?very nature-ish��? yet also "reserved". A people known for being connected to their environment, they are strictly not ���?nymphish��? but rather "quieter" and more "serene" in their cultural bias. Yet despite looking ���?reserved,��? Laudeans are far from being passive and are very culturally and technologically advanced.

Other Federation citizens have found the Laudeans to be somewhat â�?��?gothicâ�?�?. This comes from the very high religious background, with churches, cathedrals, etc.  

Some Laudeans have pale skin with a hint of coloured cheek complexion, while others have an outright golden-bronze skin that accentuates their yellowy eyes.
