Physiology & Environment (Ecology)
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.
However, their human heritage combined with their crushed and wrinkled appearance tends to disturb more traditional members of Humaniti.
