Elvari

Line 1:

The '''Elvari''' are a [[Near-Human]] species native to [[Elvara]], a lush and ancient world in the [[Galaxa]] universe. Their name literally means "One from Elvara," with the suffix "-i" denoting origin—just as "Terri" is their term for [[Human (Galaxa)|Humans]] from [[Terra Prime (Galaxa)|Terra Prime]]. The Elvari bear a close resemblance to the archetypal [[Elf|Elves]] found in other [[:Category:Universes|Universes]], and are recognized as a precursor species, their lineage stretching back millions of years. As one of the oldest sentient species in Galaxa—second only to the [[Valdian]]—the Elvari are renowned for their remarkable longevity, living upwards of five thousand [[Galaxan Standard Calendar|Galaxan-Years]].

Elvari have a unique life cycle: they mature rapidly in early years, but then age extremely slowly, remaining vigorous for centuries. Their immune systems are robust due to millennia of genetic refinement, allowing them to safely eat flora and fungi poisonous to most other species (though they also consume lab-grown meats).

Elvari are entirely hairless. Their eye colors include [[Color:Amber (Eye)]], [[Color:Gold (Eye)]], and the rare noble [[Color:Red (Eye)]] (often with a [[Color:Dark Gray]] or [[Color:Black]] sclera). Skin tones vary from [[Color:Lavander (Skin)]], to [[Color:Dark Violet (Skin)]]. Elvari were pioneers in artificial womb technology.

Females can reproduce only once per [[Galaxan Standard Calendar|Galaxan Year]], and twins are almost unknown due to anatomical constraints (any second fetus is moved to an artificial womb). Males have extremely low libido—a trait bred out in the era of widespread [[Artificial Insemination]]. Males are only driven to reproduce by the scent of a fertile female's pheromones.
