Category:Sairah
Damian comes from the planet Sairah, a planet of rain forests and small oceans. The climate is consistently humid and variations in seasons are slight. Damian's people are highly advanced and most of their homes are situated in treelike structures amidst the natural towers of their surroundings. Others ring the oceans.
The Sairah are unique, being one of the few humanoid races that are comparable to humans. Outwardly, it would be easy to mistake one for a human. Their skin tones range from dark to light, mainly dark skin. The lighter skinned Sairah are only lighter skinned because they NEVER leave their cities, which are completely enclosed and climate controlled to a little bit cooler temperature than is normal outside. AT one time, they lived mainly on the poles of their planets, where it was more tolerable. Many of them have never breathed the actual air of their own planet and Damian,... is not an exception to that class.
The main physical differences between a Sairah and a human is the shape of their ears. Sairah have ears that slope down in a conical shape. The other difference, is less noticible. Sairah are advanced hermaphrodites, that is, most of them are both male and female biologically. As children, they are indistinguishable as having a defining sex. At puberty *Which occurs around the age of 10* they begin to develop either masculine or feminine physical traits, some to a greater degree than others. *This has brought about an almost exact 50/50 split of males and females.* By human standards, it's easier to tell which ones are female than which ones are male as they are all fine boned and effeminate in features. They can tell each other apart just fine and usually look for someone that's opposite of themselves to be complete and have families (Usually it works out to the same split of Male/Female, but in this case, if one is incapable of bearing children, the other can).
Relationships are taken very seriously and not looked at in a way that would be seen as 'normal' to an average human. The males are very vocal about how they're feeling and would probably put any human male into a panic by their openess, which is perfectly acceptable among their own kind. And the females... the females are very prone to vicious mood swings and are far more agressive to the point that they would threaten any human female immediately.
They're another race, they don't work on human rules, although they do have common ethics, as do many alien races. They do things the way THEY do things, not the way humans do things and you can't look at them as humans nor hold them to human social rules. That's not to say that they're rude, they're a very polite and sophisticated race,... but the males will compliment other males on what they're wearing, how they're looking, etc. Sairah are excessively quirky people with a love of the finer things, culture, arts and music... and recreation. They were the ones who brought Alien Dice to its current popularity. Damian is a spoiled rich Sairah, used to getting whatever he wants, although it's more along the realm of whining until he gets it than taking it by force. He is also a HE, despite some of the comments he might make that would make you think otherwise.
