'''Ex’hau''' (singular ex'hai) are a lanky, thin species of bipedal humanoids primarily insectoid in appearance. With beady, black eyes and thin, fragile wings, the ex’hau are one of two space-faring species that the '''Sol Interplanetary Coalition''' has encountered (the other being '''[[Ethereal|ethereals]]'''). With bodies unaccustomed to what humans consider normal gravity, ex'hau are primarily found in low-g environments, such as stations near gas giants or in asteroid belts. Their homeworld of '''Wallalius''' is a bustling, skyscraper-like world, with buildings sprawling along strange, elongated fauna, loose sediment, and plants odd with the lessened gravity. | '''Ex’hau''' (singular ex'hai) are a lanky, thin species of bipedal humanoids primarily insectoid in appearance.

The imbibement of substances that alter the consciousness has no significant stigma present in most communities. Some politicians even claim drug usage as a part of their desirability, citing the enhanced mental capability as a boon, even going so far as to claim precognition in absurd tales. | The imbibement of substances that alter the consciousness has no significant stigma present in most communities.

Friendliness between trusted individuals is strong, as ex'hau will warm up quickly to those that show them no ill-will. The fuzziness of their bodies has, as a result, made humans generally consider them fondly.

Ex'hau have smaller life spans than humans, about an average of 65 years. Some can live longer, though the wings and body tend to shrivel away rapidly beyond the age of 70. Those who work in normal-g conditions tend to live even shorter, as the stress of extensive drug treatment tends to cause long-term damage to the lungs and heart, as well as making them more prevalent to developing bone fractures or muscle tears. Those who try to enter and labor in normal-g environments without the proper training and drug cycle die of overexertion within days. | Ex'hau have smaller life spans than humans, about an average of 65 years.
