Dear friends....<br/><br/>This is an rp for my Uchiyama rp I would like to run.<br/><br/>Multiple people can join...and while all the characters look female, male players can make their female characters as well.<br/><br/>Anyways...let me use this thread to make my conceptual world more clear...and if you're interested, you can let me know here. :)<br/><br/>Marilyn Carry.<br/><br/>===================================================================================<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Appearance: </strong><br/><br/>Adult Uchiamas look like young women, 16-17, for most of their lives, albeit slightly chubby, with soft features. The children appear more cherub than human children. Like Earth, depending on where on Lespall you are, the colour of skin may vary. There are dark and light skinned Uchiamas, though ALL<br/>tend to bear an Asiatic look to them.<br/><br/>Their hair tends to be of different colours, but lean towards soft pastel colours, particularly for Yamas. It is however, not uncommon for Uchiama's to dye their hair, and there is no taboo colour for either sex, Eye colours go from jade to soft blue, silver, gold, pink and tan.<br/><br/>Uchiamas' clothing tends to be as varied as Earthlings', though VERY light and airy. Traditional clothing tends to be soft and flowing, often short, and with no underclothing. Contact with other races has forced emissaries to begin to don this certain extra items. And some other Professional Uchiamas now wear these extras too, but this is not common at home, and most of the Common Folk Uchiamas tend to keep to the old ways. After all, since they all basically have the same body parts, it's not as necessary for the modesty.<br/><br/><strong>Physiology:</strong>Though appearing outwardly to be female, there are two sexes. The Uchis, their equivalent to our male, and the Yamas, their equivalent to our female. There is sexual reproduction, but unlike other species, Uchiamas are unable to reproduce unless both partners enjoy the intercourse.<br/><br/>While the physical differences are mainly internal, Uchiamas CAN differentiate between themselves by appearance.  Supposedly there is a certain look to the eyes that separate the two, and the hips of Yamas tend to be wider. As well, Yamas tend to have the softer colours hair-wise, while Uchis have darker shades. Nowadays with hair colouring in vogue, this is not a good rule to follow anymore.<br/><br/>Uchis and Yamas also differentiate each other by smell, another aspect that is quite important. While it is important to bathe, perfume is seldom if ever used by them.  Historically, in fact, perfume was a way to disguise one's identity. Uchiamas use smell not only to differentiate between the sexes but to identify each other. Sight is common, but Uchiamas strongly enjoy knowing everyone's smell too.<br/><br/>
