mix between sirconium and carbon
What is the average mass of one?
healthy male is arround 100-120 kilograms healthy female is arround 60
What is the average length, width and height of one?
average height of a healthy male is 2.3 meters, and for female 1.7 meters
What skeletal system if any do they use?
vertebrate endoskeleton
What are their major core body segments if any?
torsal structure with ribcage holding internal organs
What senses do they have and at what ranges do they work in relative to Humans and what are the rough numbers, dimensions, shapes, colors and locations of these sensory organs?
taste: as an average human, however it can feel better mineral composites in food
smell: 50-100% better than human less suceptible to hormonal responces
sight: same as human, however they pocess an extra cell group in the photosensitive surface of the inner globular eye that can percieve heat, this however can be deactivated at will
earing : much better than a average human, tough this is because of cultural reasons
2 ears
2 eyes
one mouth
a underdeveloped extra tongue usually extracted at early ages
a underdeveloped pair of ears usually extracted at birth
What form(s) of locomotion are they capable of and at what speed(s) and how are the appendages that they use for this structured and what are the rough numbers, dimensions, shapes, :*colors and locations of these appendages?
bipedal, same as human
What forms(s) of object manipulation do they have and how are the appendages that they use for this structured and what are the numbers, dimensions, shapes, colors and locations of these appendages?
2 manipulators with 5 dexterical apendixes identical to humans, however their fingers are somewhere from 2 to 10% longer
What organs do they use for taking in air, liquid and food and what are the numbers, dimensions, shapes, colors and locations of these organs?
lungs and breathing, however vocal chords are much more developed than human ones giving a grasp and deep voice
What kind of colors and textures cover their body surfaces?
hair and plumes on their heads, however plumes are oftenly extracted and used as a garment
Textural appearance:

almost identical to humans with a number of under developed external organs that are oftenly removed, they grow plumes in their heads of different colors however they are much more taller and stronger as they developed on a ambience with a gravitational strenght 20% weaker their bones are reinforced naturally with carbon fiber and they are known to be very resistant to radiation and heat due their cell system naturally reinforced with sirconium however their mineralish cell structure makes them capable of retaining magnetism and radiation if exposed, blood cells have much higher ammounts of iron, calcium and oxigen their eyelids are in tones of gray, green and purple, black eyelids are considered rare their refinators chosen this form to them because they observed the adaptability of primal species and tryed to overcome the defects of those designs by making them stronger


How much faster or slower is their thought speed relative to normal Humans?
they are intensely meditative beings
Which areas of mental aptitudes and abilities are they more capable in than normal Humans and by how much?
solving problems, puzzles and strategy as they are able of performing 4 tasks at the same time
Which areas of mental aptitudes and abilities are they less capable in than normal Humans and by how much?

Good work with all the details put together about the Shmrn!
But how would you explain the vast difference between the Shmrn and the Dgn as they are related species?

the Shmrn and the dgn are different because the Dgn is a BRANCH they developed from a different species of amphibious marsh dwellers while Shmrn are a mixup of different genus and they probably took base on a primal species or even human remember shapers and lightbearers are bipedal and humanlike both

and i explain in later posts why they chosen this kind of body for the Shmrn it has proven to be a very adaptative and proseperous design as you can see how widespreaded the human race is... they enhanced the capabilities of the primal evolved form by changin their molecular composition being composed partially of sirconium made them partially invulnerable to heat and radiation and so on XD

Have you searched the forums for previous mentions of the Shmrn?
I got some previous work summed up for me some years ago while looking into the lore part of the game.
Have a look, there are some nice concepts and a different take of the Shmrn as a race. Maybe it can spur your inspiration to even greater heights :wink:

edit: strange it doesn't let me add the attachment..
