Name: Shistaa (sheesta or shista, pronounced both ways)
Nicknames: Snake people, Reptilians
Appearance: Most Shistaa are seven to eight feet tall, and very slender. They have the general shape of humans. Rather than skin, they have scales in the general pattern of reptiles, although much more glossy and bright looking. Their eyes range from yellow, grey, black, red, and green, and can be any mixure of the colors. Many do not have hair, or little of it, but it is almost always a sleek black, falling like any human's would. Their feet are small and have no toes, only rounded ends, their hands have four long fingers each(three fingers, one thumb). They also have a long, snake like tail leading out from their rear end, the tip almost touching the floor. They usually go naked.
Skills: Very nimble on their feet, able to move with out a sound, and excelent speed, especially in combat with their reactions. They can also inject posion with their snake-like fangs, able to open their mouths ver wide.
Way of living: Shistaas usually live alone, or with their small family. Shistaas live in warm enviroments, especially due to their lack of clothing. They also usually live in secluded areas, in houses, underground, or usually in simple, large mounds of dirt carved in to sleep in.
Weapons: Shistaas usually use their fangs, long bows, or posion long knives.
Trade: Shistaas make sleek, beautiful weapons of metal(usually silver.) The weapons are long bows, rarely short bows, long knives, normal knives, short swords, daggers, and shurikens. All excelently crafted and with beautiful designs about them. They also make light armor made out of dark metal which looks almost exactly like scales. It is the most protective armor that is still light enough.
Other impotant facts: Although Shistaas are deadly and live for battle and gile, most species, although wary, try to stay allies for the valuable armor and weapons the Shistaa can provide.
