Hair coloration includes pale blue, silver, white, and various shades of green. Eye coloration includes green, violet, blue, and grey. Physical maturity is reached at fifteen cycles. Average lifespan is one hundred twenty cycles. Preferred gravity is 1.0 G. Eyes are positioned slightly higher than is standard for sentientoid species and are disproportionately large.
Enhanced Perpendicular Vision: Due to their eye position, Frimban can see a greater area all at once. This grants a +2 on Notice rolls for when avoiding surprise.
Low Light Vision: They're also quite efficient at gathering light and ignore penalties for Dim and Dark lighting.
Prehensile Tongue: Frimban possess a long tongue which they can use in unarmed combat. An opposed roll is made between the Frimban's Fighting and the target's Vigor. If the Frimban wins, the target is Shaken. It can also be used to grab small objects which it can wrap around. It has a range of 1.
Sins of the Father: Due to certain actions committed by the Frimban government during the Otherspace War (which is described below), the entire race has been adversely affected. They start with a permanent point of Taint (taking the Tainted Hindrance adds to this).
We Don't Want Your Kind: The above mentioned actions have also alienated the elementals and the void spirits from them. This means that the Elementalist and Void Shaman Arcane Backgrounds may not be taken.
Comments: The Frimban became notorious during the Otherspace War when their government openly sided with the Others. Though the regime in question was overthrown about halfway through, there is still a small amount of distrust from the surviving races.
