Species Template: Elaysian
By Dan Gurden
A humanoid race bearing a striking resemblance to Humans, their smooth forehead ridges and inability to tolerate normal gravitational strain most easily identify Elaysians, however the Elaysian bone structure is a honeycomb structure not unlike Avian's, leading to strong yet light bones. Coming from a planet with very little gravity Elaysians in their natural habitat seem to fly, as will any visiting off-worlders.
They are fiercely proud and often headstrong. Making good if somewhat impulsive members of the Starfleet.

Notes
I use the Disadvantage 'Physicaly Impaired' very loosely here, Elaysians do not consider their gravity intolerance a medical condition. In the case of the Elaysians 'Gravity Intolerant' means that under any gravity condition higher than their norm, they find themselves trapped and unable to move, or worse, crushed under their own weight.
Within Starfleet, a number of ways have been designed to enable the few Elaysians within Starfleet to function normally alongside their crewmates. Most opt for a low power bionic frame and wheelchair/hoverchair for everyday use setting the environmental controls in their quarters for their planetary norm. (1 point remedy)
Genetic therapy is also available, created by Dr. Julian Bashier, however as a result, any Elaysian that successfully undergoes this therapy will be unable to tolerate their planetary gravity again. (1 point remedy)
Lastly a full bionic frame is available enabling the Elaysian to enjoy both a full and active life and still return to their natural gravity when they wish. (2 point remedy)
The homeworld was (I believe) never mentioned, and so I have stuck to Elays, I have not however read the Gemworld novels, and therefore dont know how much extra was revealed...

That would be in ICON Jerod, not CODA. Sorry :(
BTW.. I am still reading that email you sent. :)

Is there anyway to convert it over to coda?
-
Here is a conversion to CODA.
Too bad Perrryyy has become rarer on these boards, he was our local Elaysian expert.

Don did a conversion sheet, but I can't find it right now. I used it to convert the NPCs on this website over to CODA. :o Maybe he can help though.
