Bye-Ren (Sophont) Synopsis
The Bye-Ren are a Variant Human Race most noted for their origin in the hellish crush of a continuous 2G gravity well, producing immense strength and resilience.
Bye-Ren (Sophont) Physiology
Heredity and extensive super-calcification treatments have produced extreme bone density. However, their human heritage combined with their crushed and wrinkled appearance tend to disturb more traditional members of Humaniti.
Bye-Ren adapt easily to lower gravities, but their short legs often cause trouble in keeping up with their taller kin. Their super-rugged metabolism tends to “wear out” sooner than other humans’, even in normal gravity, and the high blood pressure needed in their home environment causes significant bleeding problems.
