Chymeran

Some say that no Chymeran looks like another. Unlike other ethnicities, which are stereotyped in terms of their similarities, Chymerans are stereotyped in terms of their diferences. Despite this, most Chymerans have white or beige skin, and long fair hair. Their eyes are often light in color, but almost always green. Their manner of dress adopts styles from several other spires, and they consider themselves most at home in the city. Fashion and politics are the stereotypical pastimes of Chymins, and thus of Chymerans. They are considered to be hot-headed, flamboyant; and by those who consider formality and ritual important, they often come across as rude or brusque.
