 Tinians (Tie-Ni-n) are originally a reptilian type race which are essentially the top half of a snake and the top half of a human. While their original forms are much less recognizable, their uplifting by humans has encouraged them to genetically modify themselves to be more appealing to their human partners. They come in a variety of coloration and patterns, and varying physical features, typically having two arms, but with age and prestige up to eight for near-mythical figures. Tinians (Tie-Ni-n) are originally a reptilian type race which are essentially the top half of a snake and the top half of a human.

 =====Internal Traits===== =====Internal Traits=====
 +
 === Senses === === Senses ===
 +Eyesight is slightly superior to humans, with minor infrared vision giving them the ability to see heat in particularly warm items compared to the ambient temperature.
  
 === Skeleton === === Skeleton ===
 +The 'human' part of the body is roughly analogous to baseline humans, whoever the jaw, throat, and rib structure are very different and are able to dislocate and expand tremendously. The 'snake' half is roughly similar to what you would expect.
  
 ===Organs=== ===Organs===
 +While most organs are general recognizable, the internal layout differs in subtle but important ways which are better understood by someone who has an actual MD. All organs appear extremely resistant to damage from blunt force trauma as well as general crushing of squeezing, being extremely elastic in nature. This allows the tinian to swallow extremely large prey items without internal damage. The stomach resembles more a tube running down the body towards the tail than a sack of fluids, meaning that went hungry tinians almost always appear skinny if they have not overindulged to create extreme excess bodyfat.
  
 ===Neurology=== ===Neurology===
-Where it is, what it's like, how big it is, whether it splatters nicely.+The nervous system is not too dissimilar from humans, the brain being located in the head with most of the sensory organs. The spine houses the majority of nerve fibers throughout the body, of note however is the extreme flexibility these fibres are capable of without causing pain.
  
 ===Diet=== ===Diet===
-What they eat, how fast they digest it, how well its digested.+Tianians prefer a largely meat-based diet, as their baseline digestion systems, while long, do not specialize in processing plant matter. Gene-modding and medical supplements have helped mitigate this dependency, but their tastebuds will still often crave the traditional diet.
  
 ===Immunology=== ===Immunology===
 +Tinians respond well to most inoculations and vaccines, requiring only limited specialized immune-supplements to maintain contact with other species. Their scales can suffer from various diseases without proper hygiene, however, which can be difficult due to their sheer size. Diseases of the gut are somewhat common, as well as growing pains.
  
 =====Mental===== =====Mental=====
 +As capable of emotions and intellect as humans, Tinian brains appear to have slightly less processing dedicated towards hearing, instead directing to feeling vibrations through their feet pads. Other than this, apart from minor variations in ratios in equivalent parts of the brain, and differing locations of such, there is little different per average brain mass. One interesting note however is the hypocampus (emotion center) is much further away from the cerebral cortex (logic) than in a human brain, suggesting tinians may be more better at suppressing emotions than humans.
  
 ===Intelligence=== ===Intelligence===
 +Roughly similar to humans, the Tinian bell-curve would perhaps stretch slightly further behind humans on average, being an uplift species and still evolving into modern life, as all sentient life is so slow to do.
  
 ===Outlook=== ===Outlook===
 +Tinians tend to be rather religious, but rarely conservative. They often favor the immediate over long-term thinking, and can be quite self-indulgent.
  
 ===Interactions=== ===Interactions===
 ==With strangers== ==With strangers==
 +Tinians tend to enjoy talking with strangers, however some may find themselves feeling the odd sensation of being sized up to be eaten...
  
 ==With Familiar== ==With Familiar==
 +Tinians can be difficult to learn about personal space, as they enjoy "hugging" their warm blooded friends immensely.
  
 === Magic === === Magic ===
 +Certain tinians have a predisposition for magic, but they are not exceptionally gifted as a species, at least, not until late adult stages.
  
 === Psionics === === Psionics ===
 +Somewhat rare, but not unheard of.
  
 ====Mutations==== ====Mutations====
 +Being a heavily gene-modded species, tinians vary greatly in appearance and styles. Individuals who deal with other races frequently are much more likely to undergo gene-therapy to appear more humanoid and pleasing to aliens, such as the growing of superfluous mammalian mammary glands. Color variations can be extreme from parent to child, and even among siblings, patterns are more likely to be shared between family members, however.
