Edhel subspecies

I just realized that I don’t have the physical characteristics of edhels written down anywhere, so I’ll write them down here. Note these apply for Ilanorim edhels, it changes in hybrids.

Average height - males 183cm, females 170cm

Skin color - depends on subspecies, for velari same range as humans

Hair color - brown, ginger, white, blonde, black, blueish, etc. hair dying is also common extending the range

Eye color - brown, green, blue, gray, orange, purple, pink, yellow, red. Procedures exist to change eye color though

Breathing: oxygen, 15% by volume in the air minimum, 25% optimal

Life span: 197 earth years on average

Maturity: they mentally mature at the same rate as humans, but slower physically. A 20 year old edhel would for example physically resemble a 15 to 16 year old human, a 14 year old edhel would look like a 10 year old human. They’re considered adults at 20 years old.

Biological sexes: 2

Aging: as mentioned previously edhels physically mature and age slower than humans. At 40 years old (visually resembling a 25 to 30 year old human) they seem to visually stop to age untill they’re 150.

Other: Compared to humans edhels are on average physically stronger, more agile and have more developed senses. Environmental characteristics during pregnancy and childhood can change physical traits of a edhel child (for example if the mother is exposed to more UV radiation and higher hears during pregnancy the child’s skin color will be darker and ears longer.
