Recent groups of humans from territorial acquisition have mixed eyecolor (blue, green, brown, black, etc.), and are not considered ethnically Belrie as the purple eyes are the main defining feature to the Belrie.

Tagka

Age: High infant mortality rate, but past puberty 75-85 years.

Size: 175cm, 64kg (males); 165cm, 50kg (females). Tagka have inherited aboriginal genes not found in other populations that leads to multiple distinct features, like larger sizes than would otherwise exist in their climactic conditions.

Location(s): Southern Bhalos and the polar islands to its south and south-east. Some populations on the Kioril Islands

Characteristics: Tagka have similar physical features to Albha or Uric tribes, with thicker hair and heavier faces. Due to a genetic leftover from extensive interbreeding with prehistoric southern humanoids [now extinct], they bear a genetic marker for a variation of the condition Methemoglobinemia, which makes their skin a deep shade of bluish purple. The more isolated a community is the more pronounced their skin color will be while most of the Tagka in regular contact with Uric tribes are much lighter, and closer to Albha or Uric skin color.

Zdravians

Age: 85 years. Zdravians have a lifespan and maturity rate comparable to most other humans.

Size: 185.5 cm, 77kg (males); 175.3 cm, 68kg (females)

Language(s): Dialects of Zdravian and scatterings of other languages. Most middle to upper class Zdravians are at least partially bi-lingual due to the cosmopolitan nature of Zdravia.

Location(s): Zdravia with populations intermixing into various cultures.

Characteristics: The typical Zdravian has an olive complexion with black hair and brown eyes, although there is a great deal of variation due to the intermixing with other ethnic groups and their cosmopolitan way of life. Northern Zdravians are typically 7.2 to 4.8 cm shorter, bulkier, and have noticeably darker skin.

Regardless of environment, Neen have pointed teeth and come in a variety of colours (subdued or bright). Neen females do not have breasts, and are often mistaken for males; children (called elvers) usually have translucent skin.
