Physical Description

An Azul appears, from a glance, to be a normal pale human. they have unusually pale skin, icy dull or blank eyes and naturally white or blue hair although some have been rarely reported to have different colours. Some have pointed ears, which often confuses them for a subrace of elves or other long eared races. They have naturally lithe builds like a slender reed, and females typically don't have much buxom, nor men bulging musculature. Their skin is often cold to touch and feels corpse-like, Their lips and fingernails are often a bit pale or even some times blueish. Their faces, are usually described to be "handsome," like a cold beautiful glacier or a cold starry night.

History

Azuls, don't have much of a recorded history as they are often mistaken for other races, from reports of them however they tend to lead normal lives airing on a neutral stance to most things even somethings people would consider crazy, they are often laid back as well as very passive, unless they enter their darkened Azul state, in which case in this state they often act irrational and cocky sometimes underestimating enemies out of pure hubris or pride of their own strength as in this state they gain a boost to most of their natural abilities making them overconfident.

Society

Azul's Don't tend to have many societies preferring to slip into other races societies instead, although azuls societies that have been recorded are similar too a lot of human/elven societies, although they prefer living in colder and more harsh environments, leading alot of their architecture to be in icy plains and colder areas in general mainly areas containing lots of snow and ice.
