Size: 1.6 to 2.2 meters tall

Personality:

• Possessing extreme inteligence, Arkanians consider themselves the pinnacle of evolution which makes for a distinctly arrogant race.  It is not unusual for an Arkanian to enhance themselves with internal or external cybernetics or even both.  It is also standard practice for many Arkanians to undergo further genetic manipulation on their own bodies, enhancing themselves even further and better than lesser species.

Physical Description:

Most Arkanians could pass for human, though the majority have pure white eyes, hair and four clawed digits on each hand.  Arkanians were capable of seeing in infra-red light, and their eyes were sensitive to sources of extreme heat. This was helpful on their dark and frigid homeworld, but when traveling offworld, many were forced to wear blinders on planets with hotter, younger suns.

• Offshoots:

One particular sub-species was bred as workers for the famed Arkanian gem mines. These people had hands with five digits and eyes whose iris contrasted in coloring to the rest of the eyeball - sometimes even pointed ears. Members of this breed were viewed as lower species and forced to live as outcasts by other "pure" Arkanians.
