exastris | WORLD SETTING: BIOLOGY OF BEINGS OF THE COURTS

At first glance, in the dark if you have bad eyesight and you happen to see them at a distance, those from Courts are almost human. They have all the things needed to be considered it -- Two arms and two legs, a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth etc. But closer inspection reveals that they are different. Very very different. Beings happily straddle the line on Uncanny Valley and Nightmare Fuel if one maybe allowed to use TvTropes for a quick idea on what on earth they'll be.

They tend to be taller, over 6 feet in height, and with an abnormal slimness to them that should not be possible. From their waists, their limbs and generally everywhere, they are a eerily slender race. When they smile, they reveal sharp, sharp teeth that come down to nasty-looking points and their eyes are a solid color. Beings can use glamours to make them look human if they want but it is rarely used by a select few since a lot believe their appearance is far superior to humans.

Court beings all have healing factors that aren't the fastest but work give or take a few days if it is a grievous injury. The healing factor is the magic that is in all beings of Courts in action by trying to protect and take care of the wounds.

The organs of beings are odd. They are where humans are but that's where the similarities end. The heart, for example, is in reality a cluster of smaller hearts bundled up together. They have larger lungs than expected. They also, for some reason, they have two, smaller throats than just one. The bones, perhaps due to the abnormal slimness on all beings, are rather fragile. Strong to even mild force can break bones and cause serious damage to them.

Difference between the two Courts are coloring and temperature.

COLORINGS { Depends on what Court beings come from -- Naturally the Night are all soft, cool colors like black, pale green, dark blue and greys for their skin, hair, eyes and organs. Day are all warm, bright colors like yellow and red and orange and brown. They have a 'glow' to them underneath the skin, pulsating to an erratic beat that can be either seen as mesmerizing os nauseating.

TEMPERATURE { Is another given. Night is cool to the touch when calm and relaxed while the Day is warm. If angered or frightened, the feel of the skin is heightened or lowered (Day and Night respectively) to the point a human or a non-Court being can harm themselves if they attempt to lay hand on an angry or frightened being if they do not have a resistance to extreme temperatures.
