  • Description:
    Târiel is an hourglass-figured ažaras safir (that is to say, essentially, a blue four-armed psychic space elf), with red eyes and knee-length wavy white hair; ve has a heart-shaped face, round calm eyes, and long pointed ears, though kept close to the sides of vis head. Vis skin is somewhat pale, and flawless. At the time of vis migration, ve's wearing faded and well-worn carpenter's jeans with a hole on one knee, a black long-sleeved T-shirt, black slip-on work shoes, and a silver wristwatch.

    Ažaraw (sg. ažar) are a gynomorphic third sex of safir; that is, they present as outwardly female, but can both sire and bear children. While some are demigirls, most use they/them or ve/vis/ver pronouns in English; Târiel is in the latter camp.
Homeworld
The Safir Alliance is a space-opera conworld, with technology about the same as modern-day Earth (or maybe a little bit ahead), psionics, and faster-than-light travel. The safir are first among equals in the government, etc. of the eponymous supraplanetary organization, though they are far from its only species; on the safir homeworlds of Daia and Lessa alone, one can find dragons, nagas, humans, avens, coralfolk, dolphin-like sapients, and giant sapient psychic spiders. Its present day is the same time as Earth's, though its days are only 20 hours long, and its year 15 Earth months. Also of note is that since first contact with Earth in 1999 AD, there has been significant economic, etc. interchange between Earth and the Safir Alliance.
