Damir

Damir are similar to humans, only a few feet taller with a more or less reversed culture, where gender plays an important role. For example, if a baby girl damir was born and didn't cry, she would be killed. However, if a baby boy damir was born and did cry, he would be killed. The reasoning for this, according to the damir, is that a woman must be strong and unafraid to defend herself, while a vocal male is destined to be destructive and use his strength to get his way.

Damir have ashy white skin with lavender-to-violet tones. They all have black hair that grows long to their shoulders on their heads and in short fuzz on a stripe down their back to their tailbones.  Their eyes range from black to white in shades of purple. The muscles of the males are heavier in their upper bodies making them good at hand-to-hand combat, while the females have stronger legs, making them superior if they have to fight with their feet or run. Several weapons have been developed that add blades that run alongside the female's legs that spring out and back when they kick, while males can excel with any handheld knife or sword.

One unusual trait about the damir is that they can shift the density of their skin, potentially making any part of their flesh as hard as bone, but to do so, they have to lower the density of 130% as much skin as they hardened. Hardening too much can cause the weakened areas to tear open.

Other information is pretty much the same as humans.
