Anole

The Anole (Uh-no-lee) are a charismatic and active species of lizardfolk, native to the Ro'achi system.

Appearance
Anole are bipedal reptilians. Almost all Anole are a shade of green, but some are born brown, yellow, or blue-ish, and all have a white or tan underbelly. Anole have a head crest that can be opened manually, or naturally when they become ecstatic, enraged, or lustful. This head crest is most often a shade of red or orange, but can come in any color other than green. The average height for an Anole is 4'6", but the tallest Anole can be 5'11". An Anole weighs between 80 and 160 pounds. The scales of an Anole are some of the smoothest and softest of any reptilian species. They have long, opposable tails that can detatch when threatened.

Behavior
Anole are excitable with tempers on the shorter side. Most are highly confident and will fight to protect their honor. Their head crests can be unfolded to show dominance over other Anole, or even to intimidate other races. Anole will stand up to (or intentionally bother) foes much stronger or larger than them, their egos making them fearless. To make this attribute even worse, the Anole's technological advancements make them feel superior to other races.

Culture
Anole infrastructure and architecture shares a striking resemblance to that of the human race. Despite being so advanced technologically, the Anole feel a strong connection to nature and its resources, making most of them environmentalists. Each candidate's approach to environmental issues is a driving factor in the elective process.

The Anole are part of a Democratic Empire, with a new leader being voted for every other GUY. The empire is six star systems large, and shows full intent to grow in size and power. Citizens are very patriotic and enthusiastic about their government's agenda of galactic conquest.
