Rylve

The Rylve are a race native to the planet Rojen in The Heartworlds.

Physical Characteristics
The Rylve are a tall, slender and fair skinned race. Height ranges upward of six feet and can reach seven. Rylve hair color varies in shades of reds and oranges, and eye colors in shades of green. Their ears are pointed, and their foreheads feature a single ridge, beginning at the hairline and joining with the nose bridge. Rylve have a more advanced nervous system than other species, allowing for quicker reflexes and mental capacity, though the difference is not extreme. According to Jaliad scientists, this difference is 24% on average, with a variance of 2%. There is a drawback to this, however, in that Rylve sensations, such as pain, are also increased.

Culture
Rylve culture puts emphasis on expressing dominance, making interactions with other species difficult at times. If submission occurs, it is hidden in the public social context. A Rylve cowed by another will not show it as other races may.
