Species:  Viridian<br/><br/>Physiology:<br/>--Viridian men stand between 13 and 18 feet tall, women between 9 and 14 feet.  Their skin comes in various shades of green, and they don't grow hair.  Though basically humanoid, they have very long torso's and a second set of arms beneath the first.  Their skulls are just a hint v-shaped, and men have tusks raising from their jaw to their eye level.  Males have a double set of genitals.<br/>--Viridian's tend to be particularly well suited to the applied sciences.  Their women fill a role in the empire as artisans, their men share much of this intelligence, but are psychologically primed for violence.  They tend to serve the empire as explorer's military scouts, and shock troops.<br/>--Viridian originate on a violent world called Akombra.  Geological stability lent itself to large and formidable life forms, and competition among themselves and with other predators for the resource of food was heavy.  Fewer men were born than women.  Despite their being formidable predators, the rise of their civilization relied heavily on polygamy.  Women tended to pair off with their closest friends and lovers and encourage men to compete for their affections.<br/><br/>Credit where credit is do:  Heavy inspiration from the Green Martians of Barsoom.  See John Carter of Mars.
