Helivian

Description

Velmorrja have the most physical variation among all the known races; one of the few similarities they share is their height, which is comparable to that of humans. However, that is where these comparisons end, as the Helivians have a set of horns that begin to grow seemingly before they are even born. These horns grow from the brow or the forehead; however, as the Helivians age, more seem to grow from the sides of their head or branch outward from the original growths. Each pair of horns indicates twenty years of life for the Helivian. Further contributing to their bizarre appearance and behavior, Helivians are equipped with a prehensile tail, and are purely carnivorous. If any attempt is made at consuming vegetables, or otherwise, Helivians become ill for several days. Finally, their legs have two types of variations since birth: digitigrade & plantigrade legs. The skin tones of Helivians vary depending on their surroundings, often adapting from one generation to the next. The usual colours range from dull oranges, reds, blues, and yellows. Their hair is not as vibrant, being the typical natural colours you see in humans, with a rare chance of white.

Even when blindfolded, a Helivian knows where north lies. Mountains may shift, storms may howl, and roads may twist, but their sense of direction remains unshaken. Some claim it’s a gift from the ‘sky’ itself. Others believe it’s instinct bred into them from a migratory past. Whatever the cause, a Helivian will never truly be lost.

Personality 

Many Helivians consider themselves misplaced among human societies if they hail from Midya; however, to the exiles and those considered the “wild” Helivians, these diverse societies are where they truly excel. Those from the larger cities of Keleva often crave structure and can be perceived as selfish. Those from the various enclaves or the wilderness, however, vary widely in their beliefs and values. Frequently differing from bloodline to bloodline, one of the few similarities between humans and the Helivians.
