Physical description
-All sexes are almost completely hair-free exept on top of head

-Taller than humans (f&d: 1,60? -> 1,80? | m: 1,80? -> 1,90?)

-Three (main) sexes:
 * female f (=> 25% of births)
 * male m (=> 25% of births)
 * queer (name?) d (=> 50% of births) (physicly similar to females, but slightly more muscular, a bit smaller boobs {avg. C-cup? -> A/B-cup?), no inner genitals)

-lean build compared to humans

-hard bone-like structures on the head; form horn-like structures in ~ 1/3, "real" horns in ~1/3 and just rims on the head in ~ 1/3 of people; the "horns" begin/extrude at the top-left point above the temples (where humans have a "hill" too) and then run along the side of the upper head almost horizontally

-Different eye colors in the three main culture groups:
 * Merdi - green
 * Gelîn - violet
 * Nasi - yellow/gold
 * ~3/4 of all "mixed" children are heterochromatic, with the eye colors of both parents in one eye each...
 * ~0,1% (1 in 1'000) has heterochromatic eyes with one eye the parents color and the other pure white
 * ~0,01% (1 in 10'000) has both eyes in pure white
 * ~0,0001% (1 in 1'000'000) has heterochromatic eyes with one of the parents color and the other red -> they are seen as being of special interest to the gods
 * ~0,0000001% (1 in 1'000'000'000) has both eyes in red -> they are seen as signs of huge importance to the world
