The insidis are a large
race. Their adult heights top out around 7 ½-9 feet for males and 6 ½-7 ½
feet for females on average.
Naturally, there are some
bigger and some smaller but that is the norm. The insidis also tend to be
wide shoulder to shoulder
as opposed to belly to back
where the increase in dimensions from humans is simply noticeable.
This is one reason the
common slang term for a
female is "fin".
In skin color the insidis
are generally pale and almost a light pastel blue in hue. Their appearance
of ghostly white to
the soft blue varies greatly.
Their hair ranges from a bright golden yellow to bleach white (never any
shades of red) and
even an occasional light
green (rare, but possible).
The eyes of the insidis
are their most telling trait. Their eyes are all milky white and appear to
have a screen or sheet
of white over the iris and
pupil for a stunning look that appears almost vacant. Their pupils are
generally indistinguishable
from their irises and will be
any shade of grey from pure white to dark grey.
At this point it would
make sense to mention that Insidis do not see in quite the same way as we
humans do. Imagine seeing
our world in a washed out
kind of way. Images are not as sharp, colors more faded, light and dark
are harder for them to tell
between. It’s almost as
if they see the world "as though through a glass, darkly."
Not only is their sense of
vision less but so are their senses of taste, smell, and even hearing. The
insidis prefer incredibly
spicy food with simple, yet
bold, tastes as everything else tastes pretty blah to them. Their tongues
are simply unable to
distinguish the finer
differences in the food they eat unless difference is very pronounced and
in abundance. Part of this
is contributed to by a weak
sense of smell nearly half that of a human.
Instead of human style
ears, an insidis has seal-like ear hole on either side of their head about
where a human ear might
be. A small flap of skin
hangs over the font half. It makes sense then, that the insidis wear their
hair at least chin length
and pulled back in a pony
tail, male and female alike. Their sense of hearing and sense of balance
is only slightly less than
a human. However, they are
able to hear events occurring in the spiritual realm around them. This
includes the speech of messengers
and shadowed and even the
warfare between the two.
Their vision also takes in
the spiritual realm as though it is a foreground to the world’s
background. They can see
the messengers, shadowed, and
spiritual events that take place such as what occurs at the time of death
and foul abuses of
the soul. This spiritual
realm they see in much better detail and clarity than the physical realm.
