The Taira are a race hailing from the northern regions of orctava. They are biologically 85% normal human. Men grow to about an average of height of 6ft, while women grow to an average of 5ft 9in. Their skin is fair.
Now this is where they slightly differ from normal humans. The royal family is thought to be direct descendants of a dragon goddess, and this is why only the royal family is able to have unexplainable powers, (possibly special magic). The Taira have slightly narrowed pupils, and eye colors is usually hazel, or a faint orange. Only the royal family have grey eye color. Hair color ranges from brown or black. The royals have very dark green hair, again another trait to explain their descendence from the dragon goddess.
The Taira all have slightly smooth patches of scales on their back, that all make up the same sort of pattern, that seems to be the outline of a dragon, almost like a tattoo.
However, all people of Taira descent have the goddesses blood running through their veins, so they all treat each other as family to a certain extent through traditional moral code. This homogenous bloodline resulted in a rather longer lifespan than normal humans. They live to about an average of 160-170 years. The oldest person recorded lived to about 207. So that is known to be the maximum age, however not common.
(I'll explain religion and culture somewhere else….)
