Biology and Appearance
Omwati are near-Human anthropoids, with lithe figures and willowy frames. Omwati ranged in size from 1.5 meters up to 2 meters tall, and have blue skin that would darken during times of intense emotions like blushing or anger. Feather-like down adorned their heads and eyebrows, and its color was usually red-blond or pearl-white and iridescent. Omwati were also known for their flute-like voices, which gave them a musical feel to their speech, and combined with their elfin features gave them an exotic appeal to other species. The Omwati brain was highly developed, granting the average Omwati an above-average intelligence and excellent memory, but to reach their full potential young Omwati had to be coached carefully to remain focused.
Society and Culture
Omwati are naturally intelligent and perceptive, and were quite adept at abstract problem solving and memorization of huge swathes of data even from a young age. It was common for Omwati to be trained as engineers, or even work with computers and maintenance if that didn't appeal to them, though this was often restricted based on how well young Omwati were coached. The Omwati placed a high value on friendship, second only to that of the family, and have been known to openly welcome alien visitors to their planet. The Omwati united into a single planetary government early in their development, which has allowed them to avoid the wars common to the galaxy.
