GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: Methuselans
• Designation: Sentient
• Origins: Unknown
• Average Lifespan: 100-120 standard years
• Estimated Population: Scattered
• Description: A Near-Human species denoted by their milky eyes, Methuselans stop showing outward signs of aging upon reaching maturity, but deteriorate internally.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Breathes: Type I
• Average Height of Adults: Average baseline Human heights.
• Average Length of Adults: N/A
• Skin color: All human baseline shades.
• Hair color: All human baseline shades from raven black to platinum blonde.
• Distinctions: Methuselans have an average lifespan comparable to that of a baseline Human, but do not show any outward physical signs of aging once they reach maturity (at around age eighteen for females and twenty for males), leading many to mistakenly believe that they are immortal. Their body will deteriorate and break down, leading to many health complications, but they won't have gray hair or wrinkles.
• Races: Racial admixture is similar to that of Humans, and much like Humans differences in skin color and facial features have largely ceased to matter.
• Force Sensitivity: Standard

Strengths:

• Forever Young: A Methuselan will always appear to be young, with all the benefits (and drawbacks) it brings.

Weaknesses:

• Internal Clock: Methuselans still suffer from the effects of aging in a society where their symptoms and ailments likely won't be taken seriously due to their youthful appearance.

CULTURE

• Diet: Omnivore
• Communication: Verbally. Most speak Galactic Basic or other languages they have learned.
• Technology level: Galactic Standard
• Religion/Beliefs: This species has no religion or beliefs unique to it. Members typically adapt the local culture and values from wherever they happen to live.
• General behavior: [ Describe general behaviors such as: family life, values, how they raise their young, how they find mates, how they interact with the world and other species around them. Do they hunt? Do they build? Are they inventors? Are they explorers? Are they nocturnal or diurnal? Do they attend schools? Etc, etc. ]

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
[ Include a description of the species history here. If your species is genetically engineered or Sithspawn please describe the process through which they were created, by who, and why. Explain the various challenges encountered during their creation. Most galactic species will be quite old - include major events relevant to the species in how they evolved and developed into what they are today where appropriate. Including Chaos canon events, where they impacted the history of this species, is a plus. ]
