Morpheus Unbound | GURPS | Empire
The Averni are a humanoid race closely related to humans. There are three sub-species. All have grey skin, of varying shades, and grey hair. The pupilless eyes of the Averni are different colors, with color indicated the subspecies. Averni physiology is extremely dense and hard. Combined with their grey skin, they look like animated stone statues.
Physiology: The three sub-races are Barcolli, K'into and Wuzo. All Averni have PD 3, DR 8, +2 damage to unarmed attacks, +2 hit points and are +5 to HT against disease.
Barcolli have blue eyes, are ST +3, and tend to be excellent merchants and diplomats.
K'into have orange eyes, are DX +3 and tend to be excellent atheletes and soldiers.
The Wuzo have yellow eyes, are HT +2, have the Reduced Sleep advantage and tend toward scholarly pursuits.
These "job descriptions" are probably cultural, but have become important stereotypes outside Averni society.
Psychology: The Averni are workaholics dedicated to their clans and occupations.
Notes: There is a 159-point racial cost for Averni characters. The Averni of the Empire were inspired by the cover of C.J. Cherryh's novel "Invader".
