Invasion!/Varselavesh:Profile

Varselavesh

The varselavesh are an amphibious, hermaphroditic race of green skinned humanoids. Their native planet of Kreshnakel has higher gravity than Earth's at 2.165G, a much thicker nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere at 4.672 atm, and an average temperature comparable to that of Earth. Due to these factors they are extremely strong physically compared to humanity, but have a great deal of difficulty breathing in Earth's atmosphere without mechanical aid (similar to the effects of high altitudes on humans if discounting temperature effects).

Biology

Appearance

Varselavesh are surprisingly human in appearance. They have two arms and two legs with five digits on their hands and feet, just like humans. They walk with a upright, bipedal, plantigrade gait like humans. They have a single opposable thumb on their hands, and possess fingernails and toenails, like humans. They have two eyes and a mouth like humans, but possess no nose or ears; instead having a pair of antennae that are sensitive to vibrations and chemicals, thus acting as a replacement for both missing sense organs. Their eyes have no visible pupil or iris, instead appearing to be solid green. They all have breasts, which lactate and produce milk like human women. They are completely hairless, and possess supple green skin marked with spots.

Genders & Reproduction

Varselavesh reproduce sexually, and have a single, hermaphroditic gender. The varselavesh penis is normally retracted into the body, but extends from the body when they are sexually aroused. Varselavesh sex is very similar to human sex. They have similar sensations and enjoy orgasms just like humans do. The fertility cycle of the varselavesh lasts about three months, and is very similar to human cycles. The renewal of the womb is a bit less messy with the varselavesh, as it is biologically designed to detach its inner lining intact, which is then passed bloodlessly from their vagina in a single act as opposed to in pieces over a period of days.

Varselavesh pregnancies last much longer than humans. Varselavesh are pregnant for approximately 38 earth months (just over three years), but their offspring are born much more fully developed. They have fully developed senses on birth and are usually walking in a matter of minutes. Children feed from their mother's milk for about a year after they are born, then transition to solid food.

Aging

Varselavesh suffer from aging like most organic species, however like most of the species in the Galactic Federation, they can suppress and correct the effects of aging indefinitely, making them virtually immortal. Varselavesh reach adulthood after about twenty-five Earth years. Without anti-aging medication they begin showing signs of old age at about eighty-two years old, and can live as long as two hundred years.

Diet

Varselavesh are omnivores. Varselavesh biology is highly comparable to the organisms on earth. They have no difficulty consuming terrestrial food, and can easily derive all necessary dietary requirements from it.
