RUNESKIN

Runic - The most unusual and mysterious of the humanoid races, Runeskins very closely resemble humans in appearance. The main difference in appearance between the two is that Runeskins have glowing “glyphs” that appear all over their bodies. They do not make any indentation on the skin, and one might not be able to tell that they were there by feeling the skin if they were not warm to the touch. These glyphs glow a light, aquatic blue, generally bright for visibility in the caves, caverns, or ruins they reside. The glyphs are also warm because the caves in which Runeskin live are usually damp and cold. The markings do not have any particular pattern- every Runeskin has unique patterns. They have tougher, thicker skin than humans, and their eyes glow brightly. Runeskin glyphs always connect to their eyes at the end in some way. Runeskin do not have eyelashes, but rather an extra protective layer across their eyes. Runeskin are one of the more mysterious races on Yvitril, as not many know of their origins. Runeskin have no reproductive organs, and do not have any form of gender, although they are generally masculine in figure. Their voices are smooth and melodic. No one knows how Runeskin are able to speak, but they are able to learn language and speak it as any other race. Runeskin are not known to require any form of sustenance, and do not show very much emotion (because of their isolated nature). Runeskin have a strong resistance to air pressure, due to their thicker skin and denser (or lack of?) bones. They also do not require oxygen, and do not breathe as a human would. They lack internal organs as well. As a result of this, they are able to access high-pressure areas, such as deep caves, peaks of mountains, and bottoms of large bodies of water. Runeskins age as a human would physically to a certain point, but can live for hundreds, if not thousands of years. A Runeskin reaches the point of "maturity" (full size) after roughly 1 year. They retain information on a much, much greater level than humans while in their growing period.
