Vesui

Heta Redian Caio, an eno Vesui.

[WIP]

Vesui are a reptilian species from Hekadeko, along with Myrecu and Esel.

## Anatomy & Physiology

All Vesui have dark grey bones/teeth, dark red skin/scales, pointed finger/toetips, pointy double ears that point up, and stubby tails. Their primary color colors their blood, scleras, hair, and tails, and their secondary color colors their flame, which is present around their eyes, in strips in their hair, and in the center of their tails. Their primary and secondary colors can be anything that's not greyscale. Their flame first starts up when they're toddlers.

Their body temperature is naturally high, and it quickly causes problems if it drops too low. Their flame can be quenched if they get wet, it'll start back up once they dry off unless the temperature is too cold. If their flame is out for a prolonged period of time (which gets shorter as they age) they'll get weaker and eventually die.

The pattern of flame in their hair is genetic, the two strips along the side of the hair pattern (like Heta) is exclusive to royalty and disgraced royalty.

The average adult height for Vesui is around 7 1/2 feet (228 centimeters).

Vesui are carnivores.

Vesui live for around 30 wholes (207 Earth years). They're considered adults at 3 wholes.

## Society & Culture

Vesui live in caves under the surface of Hekadeko. They move between cities via train. Their trains are mounted to the ceilings of the caves to allow for people to walk through the caves. Their capitol city is named Central.

Vesui are ruled by an emperor/empress, which is a title passed down through the royal family. The current empress is Sola Redian Etna. The official royal family live in the Obsidian Glass Palace in Central.

It's illegal under Vesui law to have royal blood and not officially be a part of the royal family (being disgraced royalty). This applies no matter how long it's been since a family was royal, if they have any royal blood while not being part of the royal family they can be arrested and executed.

Hekadeko has 2 genders, the female equivalent eno (Fey/Fem/Fer) and the male equivalent eso (Ey/Em/Er).

## Naming Conventions

Vesui names come in a 4/6/4 pattern (4 letter first name, 6 letter middle name, 4 letter last name). Middle names are passed down from the father and last names are passed down from the mother. Royals with approval from the rest of the royal family are the only ones who can pass down both their middle and last names. The royal Vesui name is Redian Etna.

It's illegal under Vesui law to change your name.

Vesui symbols are closed line-only fire-themed symbols with their first initial in them. The fire is in their secondary color (taken from the base point where the flame around their eyes connects to their face, the two points closest to their nose) and the initial is in their primary color.

## Trivia

* Upon God Tiering, Vesui gain irises/pupils with the irises in their secondary color and one in each eye like a Human. They also gain wings made from fire in their flame color, with armor-like metal in their primary color running along the "arms" of the wings until around halfway up the "forearms" of the wings.

## Etymology & Inspiration

"Vesui" is a corruption of Vesuvius.

Vesui's 4/6/4 naming pattern is a reference to the fire triangle, which contains heat (4), oxygen (6), and fuel (4).

"Hekadeko" is a corruption of hexadecimal.

The eno gender and eso gender reference endothermic and exothermic reactions respectively.
