Silisi

The Silisi are an Ean race created by Sil, the Ean god of Water. They currently inhabit Silisium on Ea.

Appearance

The Silisi are humanoids that have an average height from 5'7" to 6'0" and rarely leave those bounds, although it is possible. They are built toned and are very thin and have very little fat. No Silisi grow hair anywhere, instead they grow fins on their heads and on their arms and calves. These fins can grow to be nearly any length. Fin growth starts at puberty and usually ends by the time a Silisi reaches the age of 18, although there is variation.

Skin colour varies as well and a child can have any skin colour regardless of their parent's skin colour. Colour can range from sea green to swamp brown and anything in between. Bright colours, like coral pink and orange, are uncommon, but possible. Some Silisi also get patches of darker and rougher skin.

Physiology

Silisian Physiology is similiar to human physiology with a few notable exceptions. Silisians have five fingers with webbing in between each finger up to the first knuckle. Skin is somewhat thicker than human skin and smoother, which helps to make them faster swimmers and retain heat better in water.. The most important difference is the addition of gills that allows Silisians to breath underwater.

Abilities

Silisians main ability is that they can breath underwater. They are also slightly more agile and stronger than humans.

Evolution

The Gods drew from the same ideas for populations and as such, Silisians can interbreed with the other two races. However, only the first generation of Silisian hybrids retrain the ability to breath underwater. Sil, the God of Water, created the first 54 Silisians.
