Lafrarian

Species: Lafrarians
Home Planet: Lafra

Lafrarians are a humanoid species descended from avians. While their appearance appears quite similar to Humanity's, their biology is quite distinct. Lafrarians are characterized by thin builds, vestigial soraing membranes and sharp features. Their entire nose, mouth and cheek area is made of thick cartilage. They have slightly elongated skulls with pointed ears and their bodies are covered with smooth skin. Lafrarians are fond of elaborate darnments, including dyeing their skin different colors, and waring a variety of rings andpierced jewelry on their ears, noses, mouths, cheeks, fingers and other areas of thick cartilage. Lafrarians normally have small growths of feathers on the head. In crecent years, many Lafrarians have taken to using "thinkening agents" to make their feathers appear similar to hair. Lafrarian skin tends to be gray, although some have very dark or very light skin.

Lafra, their homeworld, is a world with a variety of terrains. Long ago, Lafrarians lost the ability for flight, but once they developed the technology for motorized flight, they found they had an amazing aptitude for it. Most being on Lafra own personal flying speeders or more primitive craft; land or warter transport is very rarely used. Lafrarians build their settlements in the tops of trees, high on mountain sides and in other areas that are nearly inaccessible for non-flying creatures.
