Skyren

The Skyren are a hardy race of sky-dwellers, who have populated the tops of the dense clouds of their harsh homeworld with buoyant settlements.

Skyren aren't the tallest beings, averaging between 5'2" to 5'10".

The Skyren typically wear loose and flowing clothing to protect against the heat and solar radiation that they are subject to atop the cloud deck on Skyre.

Skyren are bipedal humanoid creatures.

Skyren skin color tends to be various shades of blue and purple, usually on the paler side.

Although their sky-bound settlements seem otherworldly and advanced, the Skyren structures that float among the clouds take advantage of simple principles of physics. Their level of technology now remains (relatively self-imposed) at a low level—just enough to get their remaining population by.

The Skyren settlements among the clouds of Skyre are governed by a community of elders.

By and large, the Skyren shun the use of advanced technology and believe it to be a curse more often than a blessing. In generations past, the Skyren themselves ended up ruining the atmosphere of their homeworld through the rapid proliferation of high-pollution, if otherwise highly beneficial, technologies. As the Skyren's industrial revolution was their undoing, so it plunged them into a dark age among the clouds that choked out most life on the surface of Skyre.

The technological destruction of their world's environment is one of the most significant factors that shaped the Skyren's present culture.
